You should write off Breeland Speaks.

He sucks.

Forgive me if I’m not going to take the guys word for it who swore Jones and Hunt wouldn’t be good :shrug:

The only silver lining should be that I don't have to watch Speaks every snap praying he shows some good reason to have traded up for him.

BTW, this is why you have depth. If there is one player in one position group that we could stand to lose for a chunk of time, it's Speaks on the DL. He was less of a DE and more of a DT at this point, and I'd rather role with Jones, Nnadi, Saunders, and KPass rotating in the middle.

Oh believe me I know you’re trolling. That’s all you do on here. You’ve never once provided any kind of insight or an interesting take.

I’m pretty sure you’re a Billay mult.

Breeland Speaks sucks.

And it's cute how badly you have to overplay your hand on both Hunt AND Jones to get even an inkling of a win there.

You know I said Jones was a mid-2nd round pick (hardly said he 'wouldn't be good'; said he was very talented with motor and pad level issues) and I had Hunt at/near 1,000 All-Purpose yards as a rookie but said I like Kamara better and would've taken him.

So even your Hunt 'win' is a loss.

In closing -- Breeland Speaks sucks.

Had a back injury early.

He actually might be PUP eligible; not sure he ever practiced. I just don't see the point.

You’re so full of shit. First you claimed you just didn’t like the Jones pick because we should’ve taken him in the 1st (5th year option), then when I quoted your post from Terez’s 1st round mock claiming Jones was an “awful” choice, you were nowhere to be found. Now your story has changed again.

And you didn’t like the Hunt pick AT ALL. You said he was slow and you thought he was a dime a dozen RB.

I’m just busting your balls but your inability to own it makes me have to keep bringing it up.

Can someone revisit the rules on placing players on IR before the season starts and how many can be brought back.

He will stand in for so long to try to make a play that him taking this kind of hit just terrifies me.

In O.City parlance, I'm concerned that what makes Patrick Mahomes burn so bright may make him burn for not as long...

The player that does that to Patrick Mahomes is the player that leaves the stadium in a body bag. Clark Hunt will call up TRUMP and order a drone strike on said player. They'll be picking up the pieces for days.

If it keeps Mahomes happy, make it happen.

They had to drain a large amount of blood from swelling on my knee a few weeks after the surgery. And I didn't have full range of motion for quite some time. And even now, i have 2 or 3 days a year where my knee hurts like hell for no particular reason. I was still young and in shape and weighed about 175lb at the time.

Speaks almost definitely has a better surgeon, and may bounce back in a few weeks, but it may not be a given.




I had a three quarter tear on the upper I wasn't out of rehab in a month - but I did go back to work in 5 days although it was on crutches

Kamara wasn't available when the Chiefs picked Hunt.

Speaks doesn't suck. Not every player drafted is going to be a superstar HOF player.
Ogbah probably makes the roster now as a DE and allows them to keep both X. Williams and J Hamilton.
Henne meh whatever. We aren't going to win anything with him or Moore or Shurmur or Litton.

Speaks was taken in the 2nd round after trading up. He's contributed nothing so far and likely won't contribute at all in year 2 either. This team has a problem with taking extremely raw DL in the 2nd or 3rd who aren't ready to contribute. At that point they end up having maybe a year or 2 of production, if any at all, before you have to pay them a veteran contract or cut bait.

Saunders is less of a concern because he was taken lower than Speaks and Kpass, but he still looks to be in the same category of player that likely won't contribute in their first year. I see a direct correlation between our subpar defense and our failed draft picks on defense the past 2-3 years.

But, back to the original point, Breeland Speaks ****ing sucks.
