It’s gonna be really interesting to see if Veach does wind up taking someone like Hollywood Brown.

As much as they need defense, a pickup like that might have Mahomes putting up record breaking numbers yet again this season.

Increases the odds of a S or LB pick earlier then. Decreases odds of early DL or TE pick.

They signed him and promptly released EB, and he would be better up closer so I think it's a safe guess.

We DO need a safety. But I think you're all wrong on placement.

Mathieu, Sorensen- SS
Lucas, Watts- FS

Is how they'd line up today.

I have absolutely no problem going Receiver/TE at 29 and then defense with the rest. Give Mahomes weapons. If any one of Kelce/Hill/Watkins goes down it will hurt our offense.

This is like the equivalent of coach speak but for a GM.

Coaches and GMs will always love to say everything is on the table with regard to pretty much anything.

I do not believe for a second that Veach is going to draft an offensive player in the 1st round.

Chris Meck
04-18-2019, 11:21 AM
If like...Hockensen or Fant or Brown fell to #29, you take them. I wouldn't trade UP for an offensive player, but yeah. No problem. Thank you very much, we'll see about defense in round 2.

If you go defense in round 1, you could certainly look offense with one of your second round picks. There are some nice WR prospects there. If you go defense in round 2 as well-

Then in round 3, there should be WR's, TE's, and one of the better mobile C's all available.

Pick #29 is a really enticing pick for someone that wants to move up for a QB. NE may be in the market for one so somebody may want to jump in front of them.

The BPA approach always takes needs into consideration.

Of course, if Veach sees an offensive player available which he had in his top 15 overall players, he's going to select that player.

I don't see that happening at all.

No it doesn't.

And at any given moment, a strength can become a weakness, which is why it's ALWAYS best to go BPA. Passing on a better player because a guy plays defense is how you build a mediocre roster.

No. Metcalf isn't Kevin White 2.0.

White was the product of being in a very gimmicky Offense that thrived in a bad P5 conference for football and had really the shittiest luck with being glass when he got in.

Metcalf played in the hardest conference in a middle school Offense and is really relying on his physical traits.

Well, offense-wise, I'd say Fant or Hockensen. 2 TE sets would be tough to stop. Marquis Brown or AJ Brown. That would make your 3 WR sets pretty unstoppable. Any of those guys would be interesting, no?

Defense- I'd say Tillery, Dexter Lawrence even though it's not really a need position, holy shit he's a game wrecker. Simmons doesn't help you this year, but you'd wreck worlds in '20. It's possible that Ferrell could fall. Greedy or Murphy could fall to #29. They would make your CB group pretty solid.

People reach for QB's. Lots of new head coaches that are going to want their guy. Some interesting players are going to drop.

Yep.
I think most years I took either the Friday before, or the Monday after the draft off of work; it was a GREAT weekend.

now it's meh.
Aside from the Mahomes and Berry picks, I haven't really watched it at all come to think of it. particularly don't pay much attention at all after the 1st round for sure.
I mean, if it's on and i'm not doing anything, I'll watch. But not like back in the day where it was pretty much known by everyone I knew that it was draft weekend and don't expect me to do anything or go anywhere lol.

and I would the whole thing, all the weekend.

Hate to tell you this but this defense will not reach its potential (what ever that is) until late in the year, REGARDLESS of who they draft. Too many new faces and changes........... SO......... no one knows if it was talent, or scheme, no effort from players or a combination of all of that. Take a break from the "our defense sucked and it still sucks" mantra. Buckle up, lots of time to get freaked out.

I think right now it's likely that our options at 29 will be Greedy, Tillery or Simmons. Honestly I'd be fine with whatever choice from that trio if they don't move.

You guys that are saying this is the worst defense on paper are looking at things all wrong.

What's the best way to beat a Mahomes led offense? Run the ball, control the clock, keep the ball out of Mahomes' hands.

What kind of guys have they signed? Big, strong, DE's that play the run well. Honey Badger, a known aggressive, head hunting safety.

Beef up front. Aggressive, talented safety added. A nice 2nd tier CB added.

You guys need to look beyond sack totals. We led the league in sacks yet lost three games giving up 40+.

If you can't run the ball on KC you're going to lose. That's job #1. So they've been working on job #1.

They're not done yet; but so far the moves make good, solid, fundamental sense.

Just remember that when you're complaining about opposing QB's having all day to throw.

It's been a long time since Chiefs fans have had to complain about that. It's coming.

Remember what happened in the AFCG?

The Chiefs adjusted and started putting big bodies in to stop the run. And it worked.

So then Brady dinked and dunked us to death in the 2nd half.

You need a complete defense. Otherwise what you don't do well will be exploited. The Rams didn't need to run the ball to drop 50+ on us because we couldn't cover.

The Chiefs put beef on the line and the Pats adjusted.

You guys that are saying this is the worst defense on paper are looking at things all wrong.

What's the best way to beat a Mahomes led offense? Run the ball, control the clock, keep the ball out of Mahomes' hands.

What kind of guys have they signed? Big, strong, DE's that play the run well. Honey Badger, a known aggressive, head hunting safety.

Beef up front. Aggressive, talented safety added. A nice 2nd tier CB added.

You guys need to look beyond sack totals. We led the league in sacks yet lost three games giving up 40+.

Talked about this a ton during the year. Veach IMO saw this scenario LAST year. Was reason I believe most of his moves last year were designed to address the run D. He wanted (wants) to prevent the other team from slowing the game down, which was what everybody tried to do once they saw their D could not stop our O.

The talk of improving the Run D was established by the coaches and players well, well before we knew what had in this offense.

And that stemmed from being ran all over by the Titans in the playoffs.

I’m not using them as a measuring stick. For better or worse, we kind of have to build a defense tailored to stopping the Pats. They’re still our biggest obstacle.

Regardless, the death of the running game in football is greatly exaggerated. Having a good run defense is just as important as having a good pass defense, even nowadays. Even a high flying team like the Rams has their offense built around the running game.

Their passing game came through in crucial situations, yes - that I won’t argue - but, overall, I’d say the engine of the Patriots was the power run game.

I’m not necessarily arguing in favor of paying more attention to the run defense than the pass defense, though - just that having a run defense is just as important as having a pass defense. And that saying “the running game is dying!” is an incorrect narrative.

Well of course. The goal is to have a complete defense. Otherwise, you'll be exposed.

Beat by the pass or beat by the run. Beat is beat. Im not emphasizing a specific need for either. They both have to be addressed. Which means we still need pass rushers, whether they're acquired from the draft, trade or FA.

I don’t think they’re too bad at S right now actually. If HB plays your full season, that group is probably good enough as is to be fine. When Berry was playing full seasons, they were pretty good. Now, they could still add one, even early, and take that position to an ultimate strength. But I don’t think it’s a must have necessarily.

They’ve got a few guys at corner who are starter caliber, but two are due to be FAs next year. So I think that’s a big need. Plus, it’s such a valuable position anyways.

LB, like S, isn’t a must have. But they could definitely upgrade. I don’t see it happening though because Bush and White will be long gone. The current crop of LBs is good enough IF you get 2017 versions of Hitchens and/or Ragland.

Interior DL is set for the most part. Could maybe use an upgrade behind Jones at 3T, or they could just move a bigger end like Speaks or Ogbah inside on some passing downs.

Then of course there’s DE where they could definitely use another starter. Again, the depth there isn’t too bad right now, but the current crop leaves some to be desired in terms of rushing the QB.

In summary, I think they’re a few draft picks (or trade acquisitions) away from being really solid. They could easily look like a top 20 unit after next weekend.

But that’s exactly what they are trying to fix. That’s been their entire objective.

They got bigger DE’s who can stuff the run as well as a LB who fits that profile.
Honey Badger is arguably the best safety in the middle of the field in the league. The guy has played a ton of slot corner.

Pass rush is overrated against Brady now. He gets rid of the ball so quickly that it doesn’t matter.

Stop the run, increase your coverage in the middle of the field and make that fucker beat you outside the numbers or deep down the field.

I’m very hopeful that the new defensive coaching does a lot of the work for us, there. Not nearly all of it, of course, but Sutton was unexaggeratedly the worst defensive coordinator in football by the end of the season. Tony Romo literally couldn’t believe how pathetically predictable our defense was. Sutton not only sucked, it seemed as if he didn’t give a shit, and it resonated with the players. I’m thinking that Spags will be a lot more involved with the guys during the game than Sutton was. Sutton looked like he didn’t even care when Peters was reaming him, the man was fucking pathetic.

Houston and Ford were racking up sacks long before Jones was around. So that doesn't even make sense.

If anything you could argue that Houston/Ford allowed Jones to get free, as they were well established threats long before Jones blossomed.

Would love to get our hands on a top cornerback prospect with our first pick. Also salivating at the thought of the immediate impact a guy like AJ Brown or Hollywood would make in this offense. AJ seems like the most complete receiver in the draft with great physicality and YAC ability, without the injury concern of Hollywood. Hopefully all four top QB prospects go early so there is someone elite for us to nab at our current position or at a reasonable trade-up. I am leaning more and more towards BPA.

Maybe a good backup and trade bait in the future when a team is desperate for a QB.

Well, offense-wise, I'd say Fant or Hockensen. 2 TE sets would be tough to stop. Marquis Brown or AJ Brown. That would make your 3 WR sets pretty unstoppable. Any of those guys would be interesting, no?

Defense- I'd say Tillery, Dexter Lawrence even though it's not really a need position, holy shit he's a game wrecker. Simmons doesn't help you this year, but you'd wreck worlds in '20. It's possible that Ferrell could fall. Greedy or Murphy could fall to #29. They would make your CB group pretty solid.

People reach for QB's. Lots of new head coaches that are going to want their guy. Some interesting players are going to drop.

Solid list!

We are not picking a fucking Safety or LB up high because there is little to no talent worth that pick. Maybe at 29 if they fall( which they should because they suck, every last one of them ), but there will be no engineered trade up for either of those positions.

For the Eighty Billionth fucking time:

If the Chiefs engineer a trade up, they are clearly targeting a DE with pass rushing capabilities, and not some fucking TE from Iowa or a "JaMaal Charles hopeful". Some of you guys are thinking as if we have a luxury pick in this draft. Newsflash: we do not.

The people that think our pass rush is just going to completely disappear are really underestimating how good Jones is.

Guys like Okafor and Speaks can get sacks with a guy like Jones wrecking havoc inside. We aren’t exactly the 2018 Rams in terms of edge rush talent.

Don’t get me wrong, we will miss Ford and Houston, but people talk about our pas rush like Chris Jones doesn’t even exist.

People make it sound like they're going to line up 9 guys on defense since DF and JH are gone. NEWSFLASH The Chiefs will be able to line up 11 men on the defensive side of the ball. The guys taking their spots will, in fact, produce some tackles, sacks, tackles for loss and other measurable production to offset some of what was lost. Anyone who lines for 4 games will replace 2 years of EB's production.

What? White and Bush suck? There aren’t any Eric Berry’s in the safety class, but there’s a few decent options between 25-50.

The Chiefs could absolutely take someone like Adderly at 29 and then lean on depth at other positions from rounds 2-5. Not guaranteed, but very possible.

Sure, "decent". Maybe "decent" enough to pick up at 29, just like I said. And if they stay at 29, they need to take BPA within the context of need(s). Where that could fall could be anywhere.

Are you ready to give up more than a trade and (1) 2 for White? Bush could possibly be had for just (1) 2, but you know both trade partners are going to push for more.

Any of those things could absolutely happen.

If Hock or Fant are there at #29, they'd clearly be the best player on the board.

Or Marquis Brown, or AJ Brown. Remember we don't know what the fuck's going on with Tyreek and Watkins always misses time. What if all the sudden we're trotting out D-Rob as our #1 receiver along with Dieter and Pringle?

I doubt Bush or White are there at #29, but if so many guys are rising, then that means someone has to fall.

I'm with you-I WANT a defense heavy draft, and I want them early and often.

and if you did something like AJ Brown at #29 and still got like Ya-Sin and Zach Allen in the 2nd? or Gardner-Johnson? Or Winovich?

It bears repeating. There are very slim chances if any that they take a TE or WR in the 1st round.

When Veach says he likes the depth at WR and TE in the 2nd to 4th round, that tells me he is open to taking that position in those rounds but not in the 1st round.

Most important for me is defense and the Oline.

I'm not even a bit worried about the weapons with a QB like Mahomes.

You could tell me Hill will be suspended all season and Kelce injured all season and I still believe Mahomes would do his thing, as long as the Oline is decent.

Chris Meck
04-19-2019, 01:34 PM
Personally, I think it's going to be either a CB (if Murphy, Greedy, or maybe Baker are there that's your 1st tier CB group) or Safety (Adderly, Thompson, possibly CGJ probably your top FS tier, talent drops off after).
I doubt it's DE/Edge because the top tier will probably be gone unless a Ferrell drops, but I doubt it. I fully expect a DE/Edge in round 2 though.

either way, I think we can all agree that by the end of round 3, we need to have nabbed a CB, a DE, and a S. So I'm cool with wherever they feel the value is at whichever time to get their guy. I'd like a WR in there too; I just don't feel solid about Tyreek being a question mark and Watkins an injury a season. Even Mahomes needs weapons.

Chris Meck
04-19-2019, 01:38 PM
by the way, I think I'd draft a CB every year no matter what. The position is just so overvalued in dollars in the NFL I think you have to draft, develop, replace every few seasons in order to not have to overpay in free agency. We have what will be the most expensive QB in football, we're going to have to draft and develop the other costly positions ourselves.

That's incorrect, they will have Tremon Smith as well.

The only DT on the roster after next year is Nnadi.

The only WR on the roster after next year are Watkins and Pringle.

I think they could take one of quite a few positions, but I sure as hell hope they choose to take a player on offense if that's the way the board falls.

If a CB that we desired is gone, then we didn't do our job. If the Chiefs are serious about grabbing a legitimate rd 1 contributor for day one play, we HAVE to leave #29, and that's all there is to it.

If however we wish to throw some dice on the defensive coaching staff that we just wooed in and paid for, then go ahead and stay at #29, take the BPA for your needs, and keep every one of your picks.

I've already addressed this; none of the Safeties in this draft are the complete package at Single High. If all we care about is ball-hawking and NOTHING ELSE, then yes there are some guys to be had. If I were drafting for SS, then it would STILL be slim pickings, but a slightly better story overall.

Define your "complete package" for a single high safety.

Anticipation, tracking, TACKLING, finishing plays. Realizing there's more to football than the passing game and interceptions. Practicing sound fundamentals instead of trying to set up for the big hit and in turn losing yardage and getting burned.

And guess what? The only guy that got marks for the things I've outlined to you OUTSIDE of the ball-hawking was the kid from WSU Huskies, and he doesn't project as a pro single high per reports.

Adderly was praised for his tracking but condemned for his fundamentals as well as the fact that he played in a division that might as well be where Fisher came from. I see that kid getting his ass burned in the NFL, and deeply. IMO, every single one of those guys that you would want to take for single high is going to take more work to properly function at this level than one should have to invest in a first round pick.

Why not move whatever you had to in order to get the best DE? Jones is our strongest proven asset on this defense. It seems to me the smart move is to build off that strength instead of trying to spread "okay" talent around the rest of the field. It's possible that we could end up with a very dominant line were we to go that route, and that would forgive a lot of weaknesses in other areas.

I've been advocating that if Ferrell drops to 14/15 range, give up the 2020 1st and go up and get him. Still have what should be a really high 2nd next year to get back into the end of round 1 if so inclined. Probably trading a low 20's to 30's 1st anyhow.

Still have what should be a really high 2nd next year? The 49ers could literally be 8-8 or even better next year so it doesnt make sense.

The 49ers are picking 2nd overall this year. The chances of them picking in the top half of round 2 next year are pretty good.

Ferrell is not worth two first round picks. What the hell.

He's a better player than Marcus Davenport and the Saints gave up two low 1sts to get him at 14. We'll agree to disagree.

I'd love if one of these guys slid, it is not happening.

Washington at 15 could look to replace Preston Smith but need alot of help on offense and could be a nice trade partner as they begin rebuilding.
Carolina at 16 needs to replace Peppers.
If the Giants go something other than Edge at 6, they need at 17.
The Titans could go that route at 19.
The Steelers at 20 may look to replace Bud Dupree, and with no future deal made it seems likely.
The Seahawks at 21 are talking about trading Frank Clark so they may be looking to replace him.
The Ravens at 22 lost a bunch of talent defensively, including Zadarius Smith and Terrell Suggs, so you know they are in the hunt.
The Texans at 23 may look to replace Jadeveon Clowney, and with the trade talks seems likely.
The Raiders, depending on what happens at 4, may need a pass rusher at 24.

If you want a good pass rusher to play LDE, you either are moving up to 14 or 15 (probably takes a 1st) or you aren't getting one. That's how I see it.

Expect that pick to be right around the middle of the 2nd round.

They lost Garoppolo for the season in case you forgot.

They should be an average team this year.

Not a fan of giving up picks- especially a 1st rounder. If anything, the Chiefs should trade back into the 2nd round and amass more picks. We have a lot of spots that need an upgrade.

I would only give up next year's first for Clowney. I would love such a move.

when you're going to be picking at the end of each round, there are no sure things. That's why you need MORE picks, not less.

Clowney's a good player, but he's expensive. I'd rather not. I'd rather throw a couple of highish picks at the position.

I think a Zach Allen/Omenihu/Jaylon Ferguson in the 2nd is a better move for the team.

I think that Clowney money would be better spent nabbing a couple of players late in free agency to fill whatever spots you need filled after the draft.

This defense will not be about two or three stars lining up and beating their opponent across the line straight up. It'll be about fundamentally sound TEAM defense and creating confusion via scheme.

They might not be available, but I rather the Chiefs pursue a veteran corner in trade as opposed to the edge rushers (Clark/Clowney). Guys like Rhodes/Peterson or to a lesser degree Howard. You would pay less in average salary/cap per season, and could draft replacements in the meantime. Big $ investments at the 2nd highest paying position on guys with spotty backgrounds does not make a lot of sense if looking to extend Mahomes and Jones.

I believe the two or three Corners we were looking at a few weeks back weren't able to get anything done on the phone or at the table. Ideally, it would be great to enter the draft with a Patrick Peterson or one of the guys from Minnesota on the roster so that we could nab a stud DE, but it looks like any feasible options may have already passed.

Well, I imagine we won't see much movement until after the draft. Depending on how the board falls, you might see some guys move afterwards depending on who their team drafted.

Ideally Seattle won’t be able to trade Frank Clark next weekend giving us the leverage needed to trade the Dee Ford 2020 pick instead of one of our 2019 2nd rd picks.

I didn't forget. That doesn't make them a good football team and I still don't see them rising above the 3rd spot in their division. They also don't have the most cupcake schedule in the league. They play the AFC North, none of which are an easy out. They have Seattle and LA in their own division, they have NO on the road, and they host GB, ATL, and CAR.

If I'm being generous right now I'm thinking 7-9. I think they win alot early, but that last 6 game stretch for them is hell.

No team has ever found a linebacker out of the top 15.

Clowney is an awesome athlete for sure BUT he is not a hard nosed lunch pail kind of player, meaning he is way too soft for me. Injuries scare me away from this guy for sure.

Hard to take a guy serious with "Clown" in his name. :) If he was straight up John Wayne Gacy type of killer clown- he would be right for this D. But he does have a bit of soft Bozo the clown mixed in, so that gives me pause, plus I don't like clowns, they creep me out.

Well he is just widely viewed as one of the best defensive players in the game.

He's just not that great at rushing the passer. He's an excellent run defender on the edge but that doesn't deserve the big bucks, and he's had the benefit of playing with Watt where you know Watt is the guy getting chips, doubles etc. and he still hasn't ever produced sack wise.

Panthers - Luke Kuechly - 9th overall pick - 1st rd.

I think you misunderstood what Crow was saying.

Just watched it and wow I am so thankful that Dorsey got let go in favor of this guy. Veach seems equally as arrogant as he is clueless as a NFL GM. Meanwhile, Dorsey went on to turn Cleveland around in just a year's time. Feel bad for Mahomes tho as his best years will be wasted because your GM couldn't put together a good supporting cast and oh fat Andy's still the coach. Sad!

When you're battling Denver for last place this year, be sure to give your sister a good fucking in Faider tradition so the world can be assured of MORE "intelligent" Al Davis clones running around in the world, eating their own shit and gainfully employing glory holes across the entire US.

Veach clueless? The guy who alerted Reid/Dorsey from the get go, pounding the table for Mahomes day in day out. Had it not been for Brett, no way Reid/Dorsey draft this guy and Mahomes is actually shafting us at this point.
