ChiefsPlanet - Chiefs Frank Clark ****ing sucks

Last draft season people were saying this should be a massive draft class with kids coming back in the picture from covid opt outs ect. Does that still ring true? If so we may be getting a shit load of UDFA's.

Eh, maybe - maybe not.

Guys that came back for a 5th year probably weren't NFL caliber and still aren't. Guys like Ja'Marr Chase who sat out the whole season but was a genuine superstar prospect still left early.

I think the vast majority of guys who sat out last season but came back this year just weren't draft eligible in 2021. I suspect the back of the 2nd day and most of the 3rd day will be a little deeper than usual. And yeah, there may be more UDFAs that would ordinarily get 3rd day grades than usual, but those are pretty fungible.

I mean it's not like there's a shortage of UDFAs floating around most years anyway.

If this turns out to be a stellar draft class, it won't be 'COVID carryovers' that make it so. It'll just be the vagaries of draft classes/timing.

Here - have my take on the potential 1st round DEs from the draft thread (because I know its super important to all of you...)

Thibodeaux may well go 1.1 so who cares? Leal may well go top 5 to boot. Jordan Davis is a big ol' mauler of a DT but he's probably never going to be an asset rushing the passer so unless we end up late 1st, I can't see taking him.

George Karlaftis is the other guy who will maybe slide to us. I think he or Hutchinson go top 10 and the other guy slips a bit. Hard to tell yet how that's going to go though.

I like Drake Jackson out of USC but he may not have the length to be a 3-down guy and probably a little light to boot. But as a LEO? He might be a damn nice fit. Man he's explosive. Myjai Sanders has been a little disappointing thus far and didn't play last year due to COVID but was excellent in '19 and could still put together good tape this season. Adam Anderson is a more boom/bust version of Drake Jackson and may just not be a 4-3 guy, but again - the LEO makes things a little different if we choose to go that direction. Anderson could do it.

My present preference is probably:

Hutchinson
Karlaftis
Anderson
Jackson
Sanders

And I'd be more than happy to take any of those guys in the 1st. I suspect one will make it to us or at least be within reasonable trade-up range. If Davis fell I'd be okay with the pick in the back of the 1st. He wouldn't be sexy but man, if Nnadi and Reed are as bad as they've looked, our problems at DT are as big as our problems at DE.

In closing, Frank Clark sucks.

But Breeland Speaks sucked worse.

So lets not do THAT again...

Yeah. Sure he did.

Give. Up.

He’s fat, he’s lazy and he’s just not worth a shit.

Zero pressures in his two games thus far. Loafing on run downs.

Just a complete waste of a roster spot, let alone the cap space and draft pick.

Hutchinson is a beast we would be lucky to get him

Look at all those D players jogging along like they are playing a pickup game of nerf ball in the park. Pathetic.

Gotta love our team leader Mathieu making a business decision.

He probably threw his hands up and blamed someone else to boot…

Clark was finally and formally charged with felony possession of an assault weapon (the March incident)?

FAX

The prosecutor changed the charge to felony fraud for impersonating a DE.

Idk if Clark has the juice to get around 73 and make that stop. I listened to a chiefs podcast today that said Clark was credited with 5 pressures, validating what I said in another thread that some of these guys didn't play as bad as you think. The sky isn't falling people. Once the guys get on the same page, the rest of the league is in trouble. If it doesn't happen, then maybe our guys needed a slice of humble pie..

Sorenson still needs to GTFOH

Edit: I take that back it could have got to the hole

:thumb: Doubtful HB is getting that 15-16 million a year deal from the Chiefs.

Andy will just say that he thinks they "did a nice job, but have to clean up a few things" which is what he says every week.
