It's truly amazing what they did. They out-scouted the entire NFL not just in rookies, but in what other teams wanted and were looking for (note how they beat the Eagles to Albert). They out-scouted them with small school players, they out-scouted Draft experts, they out-scouted everybody.

Merritt's the perfect example. Everybody who heard about Central Florida watched their games for Kevin Smith. But the Chiefs watched the games, and they came away with a high opinion of a blocking tight end with a massive frame that nobody else in the NFL even acknowledged existed.

Carr as a 5th rounder looks like amazing value for one of the best CBs to have played in DII over the last decade or so, and has the measurables to compete in the NFL.

This is just a great weekend for Chiefs fans. A time not to just enjoy your team but to be proud of them. Who the hell knew Herm was capable of this?

:d

Just kidding love that pick

The other 9 picks will undoubtedly get some practice teams guys. Maybe 2 will make the team. Which begs the question: Why not trade 5 of those picks for Jason Taylor?

So far the draft picks while I really like them have just been goodpics thay have yet to touch the field. I also would like everyone in the draft room to get credit as Herm was just one voice. This will be his first really good draft as far as we can tell.

I'll bet at most 2 of them don't make the team in some capacity. 10 of these guys make the squad, IMO (possibly even 11).

All of the first 6 make the squad. Franklin and Robertson make it as a slot WR and KR respectively.

So of Richardson, Carr, Merrit and the DE (Anderson?) I think 2 of 'em make the squad, 2 don't. My guess would be that Merrit and Carr don't make the cut, but it's close on Carr.

Well, you would be wrong.

It's been made public that Clark Hunt handed the keys of the draft (and possibly the franchise) over to Herm.

This was HIS draft. Not "Hot" Carl's. Not Kuharich.

Herm's.

Mr. Scout.
