Mykel Williams

I called Mykel when I thought he'd be there. Seems that isn't happening so I'll change my pick to Nic Scourton.

2nd youngest player in class. Doesn't turn 21 for a while. A&M really holds back its DL. Lot of upside there.

Basically where I am at, if your confident in Moore and he was not a hasty desperation signing it really is not a position we need, the pick absent injury is not seeing the field. Now next year and year after yes. But can say the same if Kelce retires, Hollywood is hurt... while any wr will see some snaps.

Any DL pick will earn a ton of snaps.

This is how I will feel on the inside. For sure.

If they do it, I will hope he's the unicorn and it all works out, because otherwise it's a disaster for the Chiefs.

What does this roster look like in two years if they burn a 1st and a 3rd and maybe more to acquire a guy who completely busts out?

It won't short-circuit or detail anything, but it will make it harder to field a true SB contender. You would need some really good luck in other places for it to NOT hurt.

Right.

The only way an OL sees the field a great deal this year for KC is injury. They could play next year by design.

Well Egbuka or Burden are going to contribute MORE to the healthy version of this team than an OL would this year. And would very likely ALSO be needed to contribute in a big way next year by design.

There's just not a viable 'need' distinction to be made here, IMO.

Yet many people are and it's talking them into taking a guy who's doing one-legged squats on draft day who's also touting the hyper-aggressive nature of the ligament replacement surgery he had to have as though it's a GOOD thing.

I really don't get it.

There is one thing I can guarantee you about Josh Simmons...he isn't playing a down in the NFL next season. So even if there are injuries, they aren't turning to Simmons next year. It's that bad and weird of an injury.

yeah. We don't NEED to do anything. We can go any of a dozen different directions and help the team now, and the future. It's a great place to be, if you have to pick #31.

It seems Burden is wildly popular here (no surprise). The argument seems to be that adding him would “unlock” the offense. Not sure I buy that a WR4 in Year 1 accomplishes that more than an RB1. Not advocating for it at all (I want a DT or DE), but someone like Hampton would be more impactful the next couple of years.

I hope Sanders (or whomever) is available at our pick and somebody wants to move up for that extra year of control, if nothing else. Get more value picks and kill this thing.

Well people have explained it thoroughly so good luck figuring it out.


I assume you feel that Burden's popularity is "no surprise" because he went to Mizzou and I'm here to tell you some of us love him in spite of that

I think a dynamic back would do a ton next year, no question.

The issue is that RB has better talent depth, IMO. I think you can get a RB in the 3rd or 4th that can provide a hell of a boost in his own right and by 2026 you have a full offense of young, talented skill position players.

Pretty sure the raiders Chiefs and chargers are all going to draft a bunch of bums.

Remember when the Broncos had to create a Fisher Price level child offense just so Bo Nicks could understand it.


good times

Henderson from Ohio State

Live feed from Crow' house if we draft Simmons:

Maybe the Raiders but I think all the teams that made the playoffs last year have the advantage in this draft in that they don't desperately need a QB or other specific position, and they can take the BAP. I really think alot of the players projected to be taken in rounds 2-4 have potential to outshine some of the picks going earlier.

Both the Chiefs and Chargers will assuredly draft a good player, not a bust. It's those teams picking 1-15 that are flirting with disaster.

Thats not a reason to draft ANOTHER wr early lol.....it's a huge flaming sign for us to draft an RB this year. I'm sure there will be a run on RBs where if we wait too long we'll end up with a JAG

Agree that an RB later in the draft would upgrade the offense, but our offense is not indeed in a WR1 or WR2. Could we also get a WR3 in Round 3? Perhaps. Could we get a quality starter at DT in R3? Not as likely.

In a perfect world, Worthy is a WR3 IMO.

We don't have a true X. And when Kelce goes and Rice effectively takes over Kelces role in the passing game, we WILL need a WR2 to backfill.

The mistake people make is thinking of Kelce as a TE when we've essentially used him as a WR who occasionally plays in-line for years.

We need versatile receiver far more than people think, IMO.

Loveland to drop to Chiefs.

Called it

I've nailed this 3 out the last 4 years (FAU and Karlaftis).

At least we didnt trade up for him.

But seriously, this pick was obvious. Veach has overcorrected on major issues from OL (the first time) to WR to now LT.

Good call! :toast:
