[Easy 6]

Wow, neither this guy nor McKenzie made it into my draft guide... guess I'll chalk it up to Veach and his crew knowing more about who is who than Athlon Sports

[SAGA45]

Ran a 4.38 at his pro day ...15 reps on the bench. 15 career interceptions...53 passes broken up

I like him. Screams future Nelson replacement more than anything. Looks like we best hope David Amerson is worth more than a bag of Cheetos.

I sure hope not, there should be some decent guys on the FA market between now and the end of camp

What you got against Cheetos fucker? :D

[smithandrew051]

This defense isn’t a one year turn around. Just stay patient.

We have more early picks next year. Seems like the intention this year was to try and bolster the run D as much as possible with a few other players for depth.

Pass rushers and cover corners seem to go early. We add them next year and we should be right on track to get this D respectable again.

[Halfcan]

looks like a stud

[MMXcalibur]

Philip Gaines Part Deux

[The Franchise]

Our best pick of the draft.

[NIUhuskies]

Love this pick. Looks like he might have ball skills and instincts like Peters but without the attitude

My biggest hope from FA and the draft was that we would not need to depend on Amerson. Perhaps I am just wrong.

[Flying High D]

Best thing about Peters was his name.

[RealSNR]

Maybe the Amerson thing is Veach's way of telling himself from the beginning that he should just focus his attention to one thing at a time in terms of fixing this defense.

A one-year deal with him is just a band-aid, and it's not a very good band-aid. Perhaps we should have been looking more closely at longer term options.

As it is, we're going into next year with a TON of CB needs. Like, a billion dudes are playing on the last year of their contracts. If not to improve that position, we just need BODIES. Period.

Tramon Smith is a nice piece. It's a starting point. We need more, though.

[RippedmyFlesh]

Before season done bet he's starting.

call me crazy but i’m still very intrigued by ashton lampkin as well.

and i’m with you on amerson but he’ll be serviceable for a year. worst case he sucks but highly doubt he’s worse than mitchell and gaines. best case he does well moves on elsewhere and qualifies for the comp pick formula.

[Buckweath]

There is just no way that Veach doesn't do a trade to get a good CB. Going into the season with just Fuller, Nelson and Amerson is really risky and asking for trouble.

I really like this team going into next season but just add a good CB.

[Rain Man]

I like this guy as I read about him. Seems like a good risk versus reward pick.

[kccrow]

What you got against Cheetos fucker? :D

lol ... I always get the stale ones damnit.

[Chargem]

I think maybe the coaching staff are higher on Reaser and Lampkin than we realize. I haven't browsed the UDFA thread yet but didn't a couple of decent CB prospects go undrafted? Would be nice to add an extra body that way.

[New World Order]

Asante Samuel

[O.city]

This is an interesting pick. I like it

[Dante84]

Updated the OP with an actual game tape

[pugsnotdrugs19]

The thing that I like about picks like Smith and McKenzie is it kinda feels like they at least have a chance to exceed expectations in a big way. Most late picks like this, you're just expecting an okay backup at best.

Given that Smith comes from a small school and that McKenzie is changing positions, they have more question marks to their name but I think they also could be starters one day if all comes together right. Much like with LDT coming from Canada.

I agree. Low floor, but really high ceiling.

[NJChiefsFan]

Yeah I'm all about high upside, homerun swings in the late rounds.

[Halfcan]

:hmmm: Really?

I have never heard of him- I really like his effort and playmaking ability on his tapes though.

We have guys on here that watch a ton of college ball- and are usually pretty spot on about talent. It is exciting when we get a prospect that gets a lot of praise on here.

[Best22]

Don't know much about him. He has real speed.

The fact that he played at a small college, combined with his small frame, is part of the reason he dropped.

[KChiefs1]

Me too. Could help out on punt returns.

[MotherfuckerJones]

Matt Miller loves this kid. I think this is one of the better selections of this class.

[O.city]

Terez had him on his all juice team

[Kman34]

There is some talent there but most of his picks are a product of some terrible QB play...
Think he's a project more than a 1st season starter....

[Icon]

I just watched the K-State vs. Central Arkansas game. I can't say that I'm impressed. He played mostly press man. He didn't have a very good game. His man frequently got separation. He seems slow to change direction. He did display good straight line speed. He also doesn't offer much in run support. The plus side is our FA WR from K-State (Pringle) torched Tre several times and looked pretty good. I'm sure it was just one bad game but I came away disappointed.

[SAGA45]

Hope he does well for us. Love to see guys like Tre succeed. Especially for the Chiefs.

6 foot going 190 isnt small by any means, seems like a good base line for a CB... they cant all be Richard Sherman

[Kiimo]

His cartoonishly large helmet makes the rest of him look smaller.

6'0 190 and runs a 4.3 is a solid corner in the making.

[Dante84]

I read that he's 5'10" and his agent boosted him to 6ft.... it was on twitter somewhere yesterday.

[Kiimo]

I think that was him being talked about as being 6'1.

According to the combine he's 6'0.

The area reporters are all raving about the minicamp this kid had this weekend. We may have found one here.

I love these kinds of picks. Low risk high reward.

I don't know man. IMO, this draft reeks of scouting arrogance. I hope these boys pan out, but a lot of our picks are "our secret little gem" type-players. All of them are under the radar type guys.

I saw on twitter that Tremon described HIMSELF as 5'10 so I think that's about as official a real height as we're going to get.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

The combine actually measures their height though...

[Kiimo]

Provided he was actually measured.

I'm 5'11. If I went to a combine and they said congrats son you're 6'1 you better believe I'm never telling anyone I'm 5'11 ever again for the rest of my life.

We're all worried that Tiger will come back if we mention the name Smith too much.

I can definitely see that with the Speaks pick sure, but I don’t see how can you come to that conclusion with the rest.

[The Franchise]

Chiefs signed sixth-round CB Tremon Smith to a four-year contract.

Smith is am experienced -- three-year starter -- out of FCS Central Arkansas who nabbed 15 career picks in college. He blistered a 4.32 forty at his Pro Day to put himself on the map. Smith could contribute year one.

[staylor26]

Reports said he was doing a great job against second year guys Kemp and Dieter
