How in the flying fu@k can we draft a saftey?

We just inked Berry AND Sorenson

We have Ron Parker and DJ White


You drafted a guy in the 3rd that probably can't make the team.

Draft a CB is you want a DB

This is stupid

DJ White is a CB.
Ron Parker is 30 and about to have a pretty big cap hit.
This team likes to play 3 safeties at a time.
Williams would for sure make the team.

Lets be realistic we're not cutting Parker until the 2019 season.

There are some many other places this team needs depth/talent, a 5th saftey in the 3rd round is foolish.

And for the record, had I been picking for the Chiefs I would have probably pissed everyone off for drafting a fatty, though I would have been looking hard for a WR or CB

Parker's cap hit is $7 million in 2018. If we drafted Williams....I could totally see them cutting him following this season.

In 2018....you could cut the following players and gain $33 million in cap space.

Maclin
Hali
DJ
Parker

If you can find 3 replacements for those players in this draft.....why wouldn't you?

:thumb:

Incredibly short-sighted.

Berry and Sorenson do NOT play single-high. Sorenson can't and Berry shouldn't.

And acting like Parker's any kind of long-term solution is the same as saying "well we don't need a WR because we have Maclin". Of course we need a WR - Maclin's getting older and more expensive. You're saying they won't cut Parker and perhaps you're right, but if they took Williams here, they easily could cut Parker after '17 and find a nice little chunk of cap room for their efforts. There's an obvious long-term fit and significant financial advantage.

And if you're going to say you'd have looked for a CB - what exactly is Eric Murray? Murray played S last year but that's because they were trying to figure out how to replace Parker long-term so they converted a corner. So you draft Williams and you send Murray back to CB. He shouldn't have been moved to safety anyway; he spent most of his college career playing on an island and has the skills to stick out there, IMO.

There are so few guys capable of playing a strong CF in this game and Williams could easily be among them. Instead of putting all your eggs in the Murray basket when we've never seen how he plays in that kind of space, you take Williams a full round after he should've been taken, develop him and have an outstanding cover safety.

Don't forget the $17 million you'll save by cutting Smith. You can find another $6 million by cutting Bailey as well.

Granted, you're now talking about a ton of talent you'd have to backfill, but there's enough depth in this draft that you could get a little lucky and pull it off.

I think Maclin sticks around for '18 as well, to be honest. He knows they can get out from under him this year and I hope he'll have his head screwed back on straight. If so, he can make himself worth the $7 million or so they'd save by cutting him.

Fair enough, but I still think Parker plays on his contract through the 2018 season, which is why I question grabbing that saftey in the draft in the 3rd round. Plus taking Maclin, Hali, and DJ off the books, only making keeping Parker IMO.

I like Eric Murray as a box safety and backup slot CB. If something happens to Eric Berry I want Murray playing SS.

I'm still perplexed me why we extended Sorensen when we have Murray? Sure he had a good year, but he's horrible defending the run and with the 3 we have now, we can draft the 4th player in a deep draft.

Moot point - he'll go at least 15 picks before that, IMO.

Pretty much. No way Evans and Williams don't go higher in the real draft.

I really hate Boss' selection.

I thought kccrow knocked his out of the park with the previous pick.

Daniel Jeremiah has Williams as his 46th best player in the draft
Mayock has him as the 5th best safety in the draft
PFF has him as the 50th best draft prospect
Walter has him as the 54th best draft prospect
His highlight and lowlight videos look really really good

If I can grab a talent like that at the end of the third round and have a viable plan for him, I'll do it every single time.

Especially with injuries and the fact we play 3 safeties so much. With only 1 injury, KC would be bringing up a PS player who is far less talented.

Like I said, I was down to about 5 players for the pick and I'll talk about those players once they get selected.

Yup. I'd love to have Williams at single high, Berry in the box and Parkerroaming the field.

The fact that this kind of talent fell this far shows how deep this secondary draft is.

If I were Boss, I would have gone with a RB or TE. There were a couple really good options each.

Well, we all know Sac would have applauded.

Really? For a potential third linebacker? Check this out:

I had their order reversed for the Chiefs but not for the Broncos.

If both had made it to the Broncos, I'd have taken Evans over Williams because the Broncos need to look for life after Ward and Evans could fill that role nicely. Williams couldn't (and they have Derian Stewart playing FS with a nice new extension with Justin Simmons as his backup).

But for the Chiefs and several other teams, I like Williams more than Evans. I think Williams is the more unique player as a true centerfielder type so I could see him really jumping up the draft board if a team felt he fit what they needed perfectly. Then again, with a more specialized skill set, he could be a faller as well if nobody feels like they need to cover that hole right now.

It's just such a deep DB draft, it's hard to get a good feel of where these guys are going to go. I just think Williams fits perfectly with what the Chiefs do and Dorsey's "what will I need NEXT year?" philosophy.

I think you should watch the kid play. He's a 2nd rd talent.

I'm with you on Bowser. He's my favorite pass rusher after the first rd.

12 picks from now those options may still be there.

The Cowboys get the WR that they were hoping would fall to them. He'll start off in the slot for his rookie season and after experience and gaining a few pounds, could move to the outside opposite Dezzie. He is fast, runs crisp routes, and has excellent hands.

The Dallas Cowboys select Dede Westbrook, WR, Oklahoma.

Shhhh

The role the 3rd linebacker is supposed to play in Carroll's defense is to drop down as a pass rusher in nickel sets while his spot is taken by a DB. He also likes to maintain his "base" set more often than they did last season. Carroll likes having 3 guys on the field all in that same mould of DE/OLB that can either pass rush or drop out into coverage. It let's them run 3-4 concepts while maintaining a 4-3 "look." I wouldn't underestimate how much Seattle missed Bruce Irvin last year, even if Bruce Irvin wasn't as good as he should have been in that scheme.

OK that makes sense. Basically upgrading Cassius Marsh then?

Lol!

Yup. The emergence of Frank Clark last year did wonders for them, but he's more of a long-term replacement for Michael Bennett than someone that can let them stay in nickel 85% of the time.

Boss & crow are both guilty of grand theft.

Daaaaaaamn. That hurt, Billay.

Good pick. One of my targets for the Chiefs with the comp pick, so this would suck in real life.

I know taller corners are the thing these days, but come on. A 4.28 40 corner with multiple years of Big 10 starting experience, shutdown stats and long arms?

Bitch, I don't care if that mother****er is a goddamn midget. As it is, this guy is 5'9 (but a TALL 5'9... may as well be 5'10). Did I mention he's got an insane nose for tracking the ball, too?

Pittsburgh selects Jalen Myrick, CB, Minnesota

Cool prospect. Haven't looked into him at all. Thanks SNR.

Thanks I'd like to think Ivery put a pretty good team together. Watt, Wilson, and Hunt.

New England's celebrity draft picker is now in the green room, awaiting the Patriots' pick.

Did Hoover get a pm?

With the 94th pick in the NFL draft, the Atlanta Falcons select, Ethan Pocic, C, LSU

Alex Mack made a huge difference for Atlanta, and they committed a big contract to him despite being 31 years old. Pocic is a big for a center, but he's also played tackle and guard. He's clearly not going to take Mack's center spot, but I think he becomes a fixture on the Falcons line from day one. Falcons continue to invest on both the offensive and defensive lines.

Right on cue. Nicely done

playing with the little dude!

I thought hard about taking him with the Broncos last pick with the idea of him being a C long-term but an immediate boost at G.

Good player.

Always a good move

I probably over-value linemen (Real Fan) and I've been looking for interior linemen for both of my teams (Jags and Falcons). However, I wouldn't mind it in the least if the Chiefs grabbed a guy like this. Very unlikely with the contract we gave LTD, but still.

Well?

The year was 2000. It was Bill Belichick's first year as the Patriots' head coach. He entered the draft with numerous needs, identified a player that he liked who had been passed over by all of the other teams, and made his choice. Sixteen years and multiple Super Bowl rings later, that player is now entering the auditorium to announce the Patriots' pick. As the light glints off of his championship jewelry, he is announced to the delight of the crowd.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you three-time Super Bowl winner and the first Patriots draft pick of the Bill Belichick era, guard Adrian Klemm!

How long is that fat fu@ker going to talk :)

New England has been looking for a white slot receiver for when they eventually have to replace their other white slot receivers. Kupp is a good fit in that regard.

Mother****er!!!

Cooper Kupp denies these allegations.

Give him his time. That sixth round pick from his 2000 draft class gets all of the interviews.

I saw who was ahead of me and thought "there's no effin way the pats use their second pick on a slot receiver."

Mother****er.

We think he can elevate Tom Brady's game at quarterback.

Since the Patriots got Brandin Cooks I thought they wouldn't need a receiver, but I see it continue to be listed among their draft needs even after that.

This article was part of my evidence: http://www.patspulpit.com/2017/3/27/...danny-amendola

I think Cooper Kupp will have an NFL career about as successful as Weston Dressler. There isn't much more to his game besides a bit more size.

Then again, Belichick loves taking shitty players nobody likes and dressing them up and convincing the league that they're actually really valuable. He does it all the time.

If New England can give Matt Cassel a career, New England can give anyone a career.

My pick will be in momentarily.

With the 98th pick in the 2017 CP Mock Draft,

The Carolina Panthers select Daeshon Hall, DE Texas A&M

http://thumb.usatodaysportsimages.co...nw/8785116.jpg
It's no secret the Panthers are looking to add to their edge rush, so it might be a surprise they waited this long to do so in the draft. However, they land a killer prospect in Hall, who boasts great size (6'5", 266#, 35.5+" arms) and good athleticism (129 SPARQ). Overshadowed by the draft's top selection Myles Garrett, Hall is a productive and skilled player in his own right, using both power and finesse to provide a consistent pass rush from the base end position.

The Baltimore Ravens select ArDarius Stewart, WR, Alabama.

Ozzie doubles down on WRs. You would too if you look at the Ravens depth chart.

Damn titans scrambling since top ten on their list just went last ten picks

Have a pick in a couple

Lot of searching here if not for season ending injury would've been selected earlier

The Tennessee Titans select Eddie Jackson, S/CB, Alabama

Elway was on the john but everything went smoothly so he's ready to make his pick.

The Broncos realize they're swapping floor for ceiling here as there are a few picks on the board that represent more 'sure things' at this juncture. This feels like it might be about 20 picks too early but I don't think Denver gets another shot at this cat if they don't take him here.

Denver takes, Derek Rivers, DE/OLB, Youngstown State

I feel like this will hurt my 'score' as I don't know that he'll go this early; probably a 4th rounder. But I'm smarter than 32 NFL general managers and front offices so **** those guys. If I were running the show, this is who I'd take. The tools, man. Just so many tools. Spent some time with his hand on the ground so he has a few hand-fighting tools that some edge rushers won't have at this stage in the draft. It also means he could slide in-line for sub packages in Nickel and Dime formations. He has the athleticism to operate in space and be viable in coverage as well.

This kid has so much upside that it's scary. More likely to be a washout in 3 years than anything special, but at least the ability to be special is there.

One pick away from another opportunity for everyone to call Boss Chief an asshole (and for Hoover to get oddly irritated over a fake draft pick).

Still some awfully nice players on the board.

I hope he goes kicker.

That was hilarious.

I've been hitting refresh all morning!

LOL

FYI: Ole Hoov is in the midst of a local issue for a client so he's a little on edge. I basically attack everything that walks in my office.

BossReach is doing a fine job as CHIEFS GM but this draft is as loaded as any in recent memory.

Dorsey and Co. could easily walk with 4 starters from this draft.

You smell of sweaty buttholes

Meh... I wasn't a fan of either the Mahomes or the Williams pick. Mahomes just isn't worth that 1st round pick IMO. But that's debatable.

Personally, would have gone Barnett, Charlton, Watt, King, White or even Jarrad Davis in the 1st. Having watched Williams play quite a bit for Bama - (I'm a pseudo Bama fan since the wife is from Mobile and forces me to watch their games) - he's about as overrated as you can get. 2nd round pick was much more displeasing. I'd have DAMNED SURE picked Quincy Wilson. But that's just me, and probably why i'm not in here drafting for one of these teams. lol

The 3rd round pick was OK, but nothing to get excited about. I like Marcus Williams, but probably not enough to take him there. The only way he makes up for passing on Wilson earlier is by taking the other guy at DB that might still be available with the comp pick.

The New Orleans Saints select Joe Mathis, DE/OLB, Washington

I'm going to double down on pass rushers to end the Saints woes in that department once and for all. Mathis is one my biggest sleepers in the draft.

And the Chiefs are on the clock.

In the 3rd round of the 2017 CP mock, The Kansas City Chiefs select Rasul Douglas, CB, WV he only ran a 4.58 40, but Peters ran a 4.53 and has done just fine. Kid lead college football with 8ints and has superb ball skills. Kinda reminds me of Browner. He's a big corner, too. 6'2" 210. 1 year guy, but very talented. Big press corner.

Fire away.

2027. LMAO This kid is what....10 now?

Yuck.

Boss, I hope I get to pick for the chiefs in a year or 2, after this draft they're gonna have top 10 picks

Lol

Gotta keep an eye on the future.

Your father was a hamster.

Meets the Dorsey criteria.
