This is the benefit of coming into the draft with 10 picks. Ability to trade around.

Traded up again! **** yeah

Get Roy.

The pick is...

Chamarri Conner Virginia Tech

Conner CB

lol Veach can't help himself with DBs

Conner is a CB/S hybrid who had athletic testing off the charts and he's really good in zone.

He's very versatile.

Thornhill's replacement?

Got me. Don’t know much about this kid

Can he play WR?

Thornhill replacement?

Played like 800 special teams snaps in college and his RAS score is well over 9...right in the Chiefs mold.

Thanks bro

51% completion %, not bad

Dave Toub special.

Veach likes this guy a lot more than analysts, but I'll trust him on mid-late round dbs.

Meh. Not sure why we needed to trade up for this guy.

I think if there's one thing we know about Veach, he'll trade up and he'll take a DB in the mid rounds.

Mocking a trade down is an exercise in futility. Putting together a mock? Always have him trade up for a DB.

Not that there's anything wrong with that he clearly knows how to find quality in the secondary.

This didn't seem to need a trade up.

And with Brooks and Kuntz still on the board, I really don't understand the pick.

Looks more like Sneed's

that was really really anticlimactic lmao

This guy fits all the stuff like the Chiefs like..

Special teams guy
High RAS
He's played deep and close to the line
2 years ago he had 5 sacks and 10 tackles for loss

Major versatility

He also did 20 bench reps which is crazy for a DB

If you're not careful and channel surf during these late rounds, you miss all the horn swaggling. I got lucky and just clicked back after the Commanders pick to see we traded up. Would have missed it.

Yeah…I’m right there with you.

I don’t get it, but pretty sure we’ve said that about a few mid - late DBs that Veach has taken.

Really want to see us add a few more bodies to the DL. Nnadi isn’t it.

Yet, with Veachs track record with DB’s. We will be fine and dandy.

Word here at the draft is Cleveland wanted Connor pretty bad.

In Veach we trust and especially with mid round DBs.

I think Noah Gray and Fortson are nice depth pieces, but are we seeing that Veach/Reid like them a lot more than we might have guessed?

Probably - but wouldn't that also suggest that they could've found another toolsy DB that's under the radar later?

Not gonna find many athletic DTs or TEs past Brooks and Kuntz. Just seems out of character for a GM that typically games the hell out of talent tiers.

Noah Gray is probably the FB right now...

STs kinda iffy last year amir

Chamarri (pronounced chuh-MAR-ee) Conner went to Trinity Christian Academy in Jacksonville, Florida, winning state titles in his first three seasons. As a true freshman at Virginia Tech, he played in all 13 games off the bench (13 tackles) before taking over the starting nickel spot in 2019, leading the Hokies with 5.5 sacks and adding 68 tackles, 10 for loss, one interception and eight pass breakups. Conner was an honorable mention All-ACC pick as a junior in 2020, pacing his squad with 81 stops (3.5 for loss), intercepting two passes and breaking up four others in 11 starts. He started all 13 games in 2021, again garnering honorable mention all-conference honors (85 tackles, 5.5 for loss with two sacks, one interception, five pass breakups, two forced fumbles). Conner started all 11 games in his fifth season (67 tackles, two for loss, two pass breakups). -- by Chad Reuter

Strengths
Four-year starter and two-time team captain.
Has experience as a big nickel and true safety.
Able to line up over slot tight ends.
Quality eye balance as a zone defender.
Swoops around receiver’s frame to challenge the catch point.
First to land hands against blockers in space.

Weaknesses
Angles to the football can be a little risky.
Below average body control as an open-field tackler.
Subpar quickness sticking with break points in man.
Will be outclassed by speed.
Lacks ideal burst to close out the route.
Doesn’t turn and find the football often enough.

The guy played 800 ST’s snaps in college. Dave Toub’s ST’s we’re ass mostly bc of rookies who didn’t have experience (Skyy, McDuffie).

Lots of guys dropping way lower than expected, obviously gotten be reasons there.

No. It suggest that they really liked and wanted this guy so they got him.

They must think their board has been compromised... Or something... With all these trade ups. There's just no need to do that when there's better players still on board that teams are more interested in. I'm happy they got who they wanted, but they need to stop wasting picks.

They have tiers of rankings and instead of waiting they are likely circling the guy they want and going to get him.

“Better players available” = I know who this other guy is.

Or they think OTHER teams have boards that they've compromised and know how far they need to move up to get guys they really want.

I wouldn't be wearing $1500 to $2000 Mahomes autographed around.

You think there are better players. You’re sitting at home and don’t know shit.

he wore the jacket!

"wasting picks" lol that is what all those extra picks are for. Moving up for someone you believe in.

It's literally how Veach has drafted so well, it's his thing. I love it, I'm definitely not Team Soren Petro who just wants to throw numbers at the draft because he actually doesn't know who is going to be good.

Veach has guys he wants and then goes and gets them. And then whoa Nelly stop me if you've heard this, they help win playoff games immediately and keep the roster budget manageable.

What picks do we have left?

All the same ones we had before...

Isaiah McGuire goes to Cleveland.

It was a 2024 5th rounder to move up

Seems like the perfect occasion to wear that and if you aren't going to sell it who cares what the value is

5th, two 6ths and a 7th.

Well, I was supposed to officially announce the Chiefs pick 134 and I thought this would play well. But then Veach traded up for a safety and the opportunity vanished… Sigh.

Even with all the trading up?

Thanks man.

They traded a 5th round pick in next years draft to move up.

I was hoping you would come out and announce our pick. That sucks, man. Thanks again for the offer too.

Sorry about your luck man, pulled the rug right out from under you

Ah OK, Im not paying as much attention today. Been blowing off stuff for two days already. LOL

Lions trading Deandre Swift to the Eagles

I just feel BV has been unnecessarily aggressive the last three rounds and could of picked the same player up at the original draft spot. I could be wrong, of course, but this last pick felt like a reach to me.

**** the Eagles man. That’s a good trade for them.

Swift to the Eagles!!

GEEZUS!!

This draft is all over the place, you never know when guys are going to go..2 kickers have been picked...

More Dawgs to the Eagles

i really hate the eagles. something about them is annoying as ****. hope we keep beating their ass in the sb

God damn it the eagles are loading tf up

Yeah, I don't understand why you couldn't have still done the pick.

Would not be surprised if we move up again in rd 5

Well it'll be good when Swift is on the field...dude gets hurt a ton.

For not having a first and second round pick, Cleveland has done well.

swift to phili
they pissed off or what

Rams go Stetson Bennett, I bet the Eagles are sad now.

Rams take Stetson Bennett

A 2024 4th for Swift? Yeah…I’m not paying that.

Swift would have been a fantastic pick up. Damnit!

Getting a little concerned about DL? So many picks before we pick again, wonder what the plan is?

Eagles aren't messing around!

Eagles trying to win a championship running the football and they just might do it. Swift will be scary in that offense, just has to stay healthy.

getting close to 166

Swift is from Philly and is a Georgia Bulldog


not sure how we didn't all see this coming

Are the Eagles run by someone who is like 7 years old and just wants all the players from the dominant college team?
