lol round 3 kicker 9ers are pretty confident in their team.

Raiders says hold my beer, and took one in the first

I like that the Steelers are having a good draft, let the north be tough so they can beat each other up.

That’s right. He went super early too.

Can’t believe teams do shit like this.

Tre Tucker just went before Tyler Scott...

Is Matt Lane the most miserable Chiefs fan on earth?

Rich Eisen talking into the camera and saying “Kickers are people too.” Made me laugh when the 49ers pick was announced.

He believes really heavily in his own draft grades and positional value and he will give bad grades unlike the tv guys so thats just him.

Yes.

Robert Smith is one of the most underrated running backs ever. I was a big fan of him.

If you breathed on him, he got hurt.

Going back several years, but the St. Louis Cardinals drafted Steve Little in the first round and John Lee in the second (different years). Both were gigantic busts.

Agreed

They're really gone downhill from their Los Angeles days. The group up there didn't wow me, whereas they used to be a neverending parade of hotness.

hopefully we get some more of them year 1 starting badass late round picks again!

I fear the last 3 drafts are practically too good to keep going at such a high hit rate though and we are "due" but that's just being pessimistic. I don't have a ****ing clue about any of these players outside of their highlight tapes

Duncan Idaho all over the RGR live stream.

That would be okchiefs aka kcchiefsus

I picked all of these guys in those rounds in multiple mocks. I read their reports and watched a little film.

I feel like we got some real good players here, at about where they were expected to go.

Why has Ringo fallen so far? It must suck to go from a mid 2nd round pick to a 4th round pick, assuming he is picked in the 4th round.

Guys I’m an idiot generally, but completely dumbfounded when it comes to if we actually have good picks.

So my question to you guys that take the time, how has the draft panned out so far for the chiefs? It seems decent so far but I don’t know lol

He's not fluid in his hips, he's stiff. He's also very strong at the point so a smaller receiver could give him problems.

What did we have to give to move up in rounds 2 and 3? Considering they weren't huge jumps did we keep our 4th and 5th?

Won't really know until these guys see live snaps in a real game. But it looks like we got some good players. No steals, no one that's probably going to reset the bar, but solid players. We're pretty sure, anyway. I'd give it a straight up B so far.

Well, as I posted just above, the DE's tended to thin out by mid second, so they got the guy they wanted at 31. In multiple mocks from multiple sites, Uzi was always gone by 40. If you like a guy at 40, just take him at 31 for the 5th year if nothing else. Don't get cute. Solid pick.

There was a big grouping of 2nd-3rd round WR's; they went up and got the guy they wanted from that group rather than take what fell. Rice went about where he tended to in multiple mocks. He's a 'Hopkins' type receiver, with nearly identical measurements. Physical, aggressive, good RAC.

Morris has experience at both OT spots, but played RT mostly. 35" arms, athletic, quick. Definitely starter potential with a little clean-up in his technique.

All three positions of need, all three went at about the right spot, no reaches, the last two they went up and got their guy rather than wait.

I think it's a real solid B+ draft, and that's tough to do picking at the bottom of the round.

Just my .02

:thumb:

The steals come late in the draft, when you get a Trey Smith for a 6th, or a Pacheco in the 7th.

Basically every edge was gone by round 3, Chiefs got ahead of it.

I think FAU and Rice went a bit early but nothing egregious. You can kinda get away with not maxing value when your roster is set and you won the ****ing Super Bowl.

I didn't like the first trade up much but they at least made a logical selection with it.

The WRs weren't following any pattern, when Jayden Reed goes 50 if Rice is your guy you have to go get him.

Pattern seemed mostly fine. CP just overrated a few guys.

If my research is correct, the Chiefs still have the following:

4(32)
5(32)
6(1)
6(17)
7(33)

I could be wrong but I feel the Chiefs will go DL-heavy on day 3. More EDGE, DT or two. That will be the theme for this class. Injecting some fresh blood into in that front-four rotation.

Op: we only have one 6th round pick tomorrow, correct?

We need rotational DT help. Maybe developmental OL talent and a CB to start in 2 year.

Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time!

No sir, it is correct.

The Rashee Rice trade had a pick come back with it.

A little early sure, but I think fans view the draft completely differently from the team. Fans are trying to win every pick, hoping guys fall to them. Teams target player and go after the guys they want. In this draft they would rather have Rice than others on the board, so they go up and get their guy. The team is looking for fit. The fan is looking for the instant gratification of getting a steal.

Sorry my bad. I should have known you were on top of it. :clap:

ooooh back to back picks

Nope. There are more picks in the 5th round, up to 43. The LAR has 5th(43) then KC at 6(1).

I can understand the thinking of (32) then (1), but that’s usually rounds 1 and 2 in most cases. 3rd or later rounds also have the comp picks involved.

Back to back picks is my nightmare

It’s not back to back picks. There are more picks in the 5th round, up to 43. The LAR has 5th(43) then KC at 6(1).

I can understand the thinking of (32) then (1), but that’s usually rounds 1 and 2 in most cases. 3rd or later rounds also have the comp picks involved.

GAH - way to poop on my parade :harumph:

Why?

I love it for the Chiefs, it’s just anxiety-inducing to get the threads launched simultaneously like that lol

Keaton Mitchell, Roschon Johnson, Adetomiwa Adebawore , and Karl Brooks are available

I bet Veach has at least 1 more trade up to go get another guy he has targeted.

This team really does need another DT and there are some good ones like Roy/Ojomo still out there as well as some superb values at premium $ positions, too like Perry, Adebaware, Roscon, and at least 7-10 others that probably have no business still being on the board in the 4th round.

I'm not sure we trade up again. I know there's only so many spots but we still have plenty to fill and not a lot of money to tie people up in FA. We need 1-2 DTs, and a RB at a minimum.

How are people grading it so far? I reckon a solid B. For me...

FAU - A - The one thing I've been banging the table for is a DE that wins with something other than POWER. He may need a year but I think with Omenihu we have plenty of inside-outside versatility, as well as a big upgrade on Saunders as an interior pass-rusher. I think, ultimately, FAU becomes a much better pass-rusher than we got with Clark.

Rice - C+/B- - My least favourite of the picks. I don't have any great issue with Rice but I'd have rather stayed put and taken Tillman. If we wanted a contested catch guy I'd have gone with the tall one without drops who played better competition, but my hit ratio on WRs is about zero so I look forward to getting this wrong too.

Morris - B - Might have taken Duncan but this is where value at OT was after Harrison went. He's basically another Niang type swing - good measurables, injuries, probably a better overall athlete, some technical inconsistencies. A good developmental option and I quite like the strategy of going for decent athletes with less polish at OT in R3.

Haha

I'd say a B as well, solid players but I'm not jumping out of my seat.

The only good thing about the Raiders right now.

Do we go and grab a Cinci bearcat at TE ?

Tillman with the ankle injury too risky.

And it seems like there was lot of skepticism around the league about how much of Hooker/Hyatt/Tillman’s production was a result of the scheme at Tennessee.

Yeah it's a fair point re the injury, I'd probably have pulled the trigger.

Might flip a pick for swift

Agree. 1st pick today needs to be a DT.

Maybe we can Trade #178 (6th) to Swap 5th's (-10 spots) and 4th's with the Colts to get to #110 (+24 spots)?

Get another top 100'ish guy.

I don't know if anyone has discussed McCourty"s remarks last night....but I found them silly and self serving.

?

He made smarmy remarks about enjoying the 2019 AFC Championship game when the Pat's beat the Chiefs...he also made some comments about KC BBQ

Are you allowing a grown guy controll how you feel? lol

Who cares what he said! lol


Does his opinion really matter what he says?

The irony in your response....:)

Do you take a swing on Adewore 's freaky athleticism? I mean, a 4.49 at 280 pounds?!

Sure. But only if we can flip CEH for a pick at the same time.

Are there any TE's left on the board that are worth taking a chance on?

I found them amusing. It's become common for players or fans of a team to get on stage and goad their rivals. Just remember it's usually in good fun (see Kyle Brandt last year). I've watched McCourty on Good Morning Football and he seems like a great dude. Just harmless fun IMO.

I think Gray has shown he can produce. He just does not get many chances. So I am not sure KC is thinking TE?

Maybe but I just don’t know where you play him.

The BBQ comment was just a throw away remark....it's much the same sentiment I express to the locals when they try to compare what passes for BBQ here in Florida.

Just found his remarks about that game silly

Combine hero Kuntz? He'll go before us I bet, someone will take a shot on that. I'd say DT is the pick because it's the real glaring need, but if Ojomo, Coburn, Roy are gone I might hold off and just swing later. Particularly if there are better guys left at other non-premium positions. If there's a half-decent DT, grab them, UNLESS the BPA is obviously significantly better - there's a few CBs and a couple of safeties and WRs I might take before an OK DT

There really isn’t anything to discuss, he was being an attention whoring douche. I mean yeah, if you’re there in person you boo him out of principal, but otherwise, why give him the time of day that he’s obviously seeking?

Has anybody noticed the resemblance Gray is showing of Kelce. He's made several catches last year that I thought it was Kelce initially. Just the way he catches with his hands and body movement. I think he just needs opportunity to show out.

Well, I mean, he's bigger and faster than Kancey.

If I'm honest I really, really don't get the Gray hype. I think he's been perfectly solid for a 5th rounder but nothing more. Would love him to break out and to be honest I could possibly see it given TEs take time...but there's just nothing he has or does that makes me see it.

There has to be a reason that no one is taking him.

He has had very limited opportunity. PM has lots of other weapons. He may get more this season. He looks good to me.

Well, he plays on a team with Travis Kelce.

even in the multiple TE sets, he's not going to get the first look with a hall of famer across from him.

When he IS targeted, he looks just fine to me.

Agree! Gray is a guy another team may jump on when he is a free agent.
