There's this little analysis thing with Explosion # and Productivity Ratio that tends to be a "predictor" of success for DE/LB. Basham falls well short of the explosion # threshold of 70 at 56.4. He meets the productivity threshold of 1.0 at 1.31, but at a lower level of competition. Given that, it is unlikely he becomes a good player in the NFL. I'm not going to say he won't, but it's something to think about.

I had started calculating these for all the Edge players in the draft but got lazy and only finished the productivity ratios. I'll try and finish the rest today and post it for you.

**** "Johnny Fire" in his dick hole with a rusty nail.

That may be a little early, but the kid has the best ball skills in this draft, has great size for the position and would flourish in this system across from Peters.

Opposing QBs would be concerned about throwing it anywhere.

You should watch some videos of him from last year. He totally reminds me of Marcus Peters so much it's scary the way he comes off his coverage while watching the QB to undercut routes of other WRs to intercept passes and return them.

Hand that kid to Thomas/Harris and he would blossom quickly into a stud.

Don't get me wrong, I'd be fine with him in the 3rd, but in the 2nd? No thanks.

Why? So you can type the exact same paragraph only this time say that their window is that much closer to closing?

If Smith is as competent and credible as all these draft ****os keep saying, then the Chiefs can get their replacement this year and deal Smith next year for a 3rd or 4th with a ready replacement on hand.

Because that's what they keep ignoring - not taking a QB this year doesn't mean Alex Smith in '17 - it means Alex Smith in '17 AND '18. No. 100000000 times no.

I'm done with that movie. They are going to take a quarterback in the 1st because I simply refuse to believe otherwise. Every argument that people are making against taking one this year exists again next year and with ever GREATER urgency.

Take the goddamn quarterback.

Bossreach needs to double down on his pick of Douglas in the mock, even though there were obviously better options available at the time...

Give me Adams over Douglas.

We won't see eye to eye on this pick anytime soon.

Getting a CB with great size and elite ball skills with a comp 3rd is a steal though.

Chad Reuter's most recent 6-round mock...

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...-trubisky-no-1

That is the worst Chiefs mock I've seen yet

****ing garbage.

Horrible draft

Id take Mixon in the 2nd round **** the bad pr

Thought this was pretty interesting, the most accurate mockers over the past 5 years...

I like Douglas, and hope we draft him. But not in the second, I was thinking 4th if he's there. Maybe the 3rd wouldn't be so bad. Either way I'd like to see him opposite Peters.

We always talk about getting a QB on a cheap rookie deal and the cost savings, but some here are ignoring the same things with other positions with escalating salaries.

Good corners get 15m per
Pass rushers get 15-20m per
QBs get 17-25m

This is the draft to get those positions locked up on cheap rookie deals and advantageously this draft is loaded in 2/3 of those spots.

Especially with big money extensions needing to be put in place with multiple players in the next 3 seasons.

Idiots there... Let's get a ILB in the first that can sit behind DJ for a couple years. Wtf Is that stupidity?

Have no clue who RJ White is but he did a 3-round mock with trades... He has KC passing up on a lot of really good players in the second round...
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/20...-quarterbacks/

If you put the over/under on number of games Derrick Johnson starts for the Chiefs again at 5, I'd take the under.

DJ's time is effectively over.

Chris Collinsworth's mock...

Mother**** Collinsdouche.

Lance Zierlein's most recent mock

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...030-sf71381030

Unless it's Foster I don't want a ILB in the first round. You can get a lot of good ones in the middle rounds in this draft.

It's tough to get a 3 down lber later though

Kiper's latest 3-round mock...

https://www.reddit.com/r/NFL_Draft/c...atest_3_round/

I highly doubt Kamara or Kizer last until the 3rd

Yeah, Kiper said that this was what he would do, not what he thinks other teams are going to do. I probably should've mentioned that when I posted it.

No way it would happen, but what a haul that would be. Total "needs" draft by Kiper here.

Kiper is an idiot

Walter Footballs latest and greatest. If we take a guard at 27 I give up.

Kansas City Chiefs: Forrest Lamp, G/C, Western Kentucky

It's been a while since the Chiefs have spent a first-round pick on an offensive lineman. Andy Reid is a big fan of building a team through the trenches, so I don't think he'd be able to pass on the top guard in this class if Forrest Lamp dropped into his lap at No. 27 overall. Reid would love to obtain someone like Lamp, who would provide an upgrade over the mediocre Zach Fulton.

Surely you've learned by now that the best way to fix the Chiefs offense's weakest link is to keep buying that pig a new dress and lipstick every season!
It'll work this time!

Reuters-
Kansas City Chiefs

Round 1 (27) Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson
Round 2 (59) Zach Cunningham, LB, Vanderbilt

Round 7 (245) Darrell Daniels, TE, Washington
:hail:

Santos signed a guaranteed tender. They ain't drafting a fourth round kicker

reerun still doesn't do his ****ing research. It's as simple as spending 3 ****ing minutes reading about the team to know that Zach Fulton isn't the starter.

And also that andy reid isn't the personnel guy...

That had me scratching my head as well. Do these guys get paid to do this?

True and all but I do like those first 4 picks.

Leave it to Walter to revert to mocking oline every single year to kc

Sent from my LG-K425 using Tapatalk

He just released his 7 round mock draft but he's mocked us Forrest Lamp in the 1st.....so I'm not going to bother posting this garbage.

What would you do if they really draft Lamp? Remember when Reid drafted a 27 year old guard in the first round when he coached the Eagles ROFL

Yea Danny Watkins from Baylor. Thank god Reid isn't in charge.

It'd be hard to watch another game next year.....and that's the honest truth.

And he has the same stupid rationale every season.

I swear to Christ that he's trolling Chiefs fans. There's no other explanation.

I'd be pissed to watch Mahomes fall all the way to #25 and us not trade up to get him.

Charlie Casserly's most recent mock...

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...788-sf72801788

You still on the Brady's brain/ Cam's body train?

I would have no problem taking him at 27 if Mahomes is gone and Reid thinks that he can work with him.

If any of the top 4 QB'S remain, KC needs to pull the trigger. **** this Peter-eater/Kyak-bullshit.

Peter Schrager's 7-round mock...

http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/gallery...k-draft-042517

If they take Nate ****ing Peterman with their 2nd round pick, I'll lose my mind.

That kid is nothing.

I don't know anything about Nate Peterman, but I'm assuming he's caucasian.

That's the worst mock I've seen. 2 corners, 3 line backers, White is a reach in the first, and no RB at all in a very deep class.

**** that hot garbage. Yet another mock where we watch Mahomes drop into the Texan's lap and they don't mock a trade up at all for us. Just so we can take ****ing Peterman in the 2nd.

I'd rather severely overpay and trade that 2nd to get Mahomes then end up with White and Peterman.

Even if you think that we won't trade up......****ing stay at 27 and draft Kizer.

Agreed

You really don't care about these interview reports, eh?

Seriously, the guy sounds like Jay Cutler. And like I said, this is the worst feedback we've gotten since Geno and we all know how that worked out.

I learned a fairly valuable lesson during Genogate - these interviews mean, in many ways, as much as the tape and the drills. At least for quarterbacks.

That's why I've slowly warmed to Webb. Christ alive, man - he KILLS the interviews and film study process. I've read several of them with him now and he can just dissect and disseminate things in real time as well as anyone I've ever seen. The arm's there and the athleticism, while goofy as ****, seems to be good enough.

Why should I take Kizer over someone like Webb when Webb has the same build, same arm, slighly less athleticism (though maybe not; just stranger looking) and at least outwardly understands/enjoys football a HELL of a lot more than Kizer does.

I don't. Geno's reports were shit like the dude was on his cellphone during an interview or he would tune everyone out. I don't see that with Kizer. Kizer just comes off as being confident.....but he's not an asshole about it. I just think that he's green and he definitely needs to sit for a season. I think Reid would be perfect for him.

And as a side note.....I'd be fine if they took Webb at 27 as well. Mahomes is at the top of my list but I'd be ok with Kizer, Webb...or shit....even Watson.

Depends on the reports you read.

He's been smart enough not to hang on his cell phone, but many folks have come away thinking that he's disinterested in football. That's extremely alarming.

I'm fine with confident - shit, Webb has it dripping out of him. But my worry is a guy that feels like it's just going to come to him; the talent will win out. Nope, not at this level. You can have the talent but you're still going to have to be single-mindedly focused on the job for most of your playing career.

I've not seen a single thing to suggest that Kizer will approach that. At best you'll get that Big Ben sort of 'just be big and chuck it to pro-bowlers' kind of doofiness that seems to have paid off for him. That's probably not the approach to rely on.

He wore a golden helmet. Pest has a golden boner.

I've probably still got some homer glasses on....but I think he'll turn out ok.

I had a 3 o'clock appointment to get a chipped tooth fixed. I didn't show up until 4 because I forgot. I got everything taken care of and went home happy.

So that dentist and his 2 assistants spent an hour just waiting on my ass, fixed my tooth and took my whopping $72.00. After paying for his hygienists, materials and overhead, the guy probably got paid as much as a McDonalds worker.

I hope that happens to you. A lot. And I hope the party in question had a pot of coffee and chain smoked a pack of reds before he showed up.

Bob McGinn's mock...

http://www.jsonline.com/story/sports...ons/100929770/

One of the only non-QB picks that would give me wood. Second favorite player in the draft behind Foster.

Who's Bob McGinn? Are you going to post Chucky Cheese's 7 round mock?

He's the guy who leaks the Wonderlic scores every year. I don't know how good he is at mocking but he puts out some really good draft content every year.

Same here. If it isn't a QB, I'm hoping for Davis or one of the Huskies.

At what point would they know that Ballard supported Pat Mahomes in KC? That's some strong speculation there.
