Day 1 - AFCW Thoughts
 

Ok, so Day 1 is done... what are your thoughts so far on how the AFCW teams drafted? Admittedly, I was unable to watch much college football last year, so I don't have much to add on some of these guys.

Chiefs:
R132 - RB, Clyde Edwards-Helaire (LSU)
Day 2 Picks - R2P31 / R3P32

Raiders:
R1P12 - WR, Henry Ruggs (AL)
R1P19 - CB, Damon Arnette (OH St)
Day 2 Picks - R3P16 / R3P17 / R3P27

Chargers:
R1P6 - QB, Justin Herbert (ORE)
R1P23 - LB, Kenneth Murray (OU)
Day 2 Picks - none

Broncos:
R1P15 - WR, Jerry Jeudy (AL)
Day 2 Picks - R2P14 / R3P13 / R3P19 / R3P31

I think the Chargers were trapped into taking Herbert there - maybe should have traded out. I like Murray, but they gave up a lot - they're SOL on Day 2. I can't really argue with the other picks by the Raiders or Chiefs - it's all value and who do you figure is better in your system.

Chiefs - I have no idea about which RB was the better option or if they would have fared better by taking Xavier or someone else.

Very glad Denver didn't have to move to get a WR - was holding out hope that Wirfs might make it to them, but that's how it rolls.

Denver needs a few things today, starting with OT/C... then they can look at DL, CB, would like to see a QB with last pick of R3 or in R4, depending on who is there. You can't invest in all these weapons and then not have someone viable if Lock gets hurt.

What are your thoughts on Day 1?

First thought this morning...**** Donk forever.

We own the division! Good luck stopping us from putting up 40 every game

Broncos and Chiefs did the best.

Jerry Jeudy should have gone top 5..it was incredibly stupid of the Raiders to take Ruggs over him.

Chiefs just added a piece that Reid/Veach felt was missing to make a very good offense unstoppable.

Raiders failed passing on Jeudy. Ruggs is not a #1 but a good vertical #2 like a Will Fuller. But they made up for it with Arnette. I thought Arnette was the #2 CB in this class..better than soft CJ Henderson.

Chargers did the worst. Herbert is a smart game manager, doesn't have what it takes to be top 15 QB. Murray is talented but a terrible scheme fit for Chargers defense as he is terrible in zone coverage. Guess their 5 fans can get even more depressed.

My thoughts are:

Raiders: Drafted the fastest receiver in the first round, passing up much better actual receivers. Reached like crazy on Chris Carter’s son. D

Broncos: Having Jeudy fall to them was incredibly fortuitous. They didn’t overthink it. A

Chargers: They drafted Blaine Gabbert 2.0 (looks the part, stuff, mechanical, has shitty instincts) and gave up a bunch to go get Kenny Murray. Murray is a dynamic player with everything else they have, which saves them. C

Chiefs: Added a pass catching back who is more versatile in the passing game than Damien Williams, has better stop-start, and is a better/more patient inside runner. Based on the way it fell, the only option other than RB that would have made sense was a trade down - which was hard once Love was off the board.

Donkos - A. Got the best or second best WR in draft and didn't have to move any picks. A win for them.

Chiefs - B+. Would have preferred an instant impact defender, but really like the CEH pick. He will fit well in our system and make this offense MUCH tougher to defend.

Chargers - C+. Like the Murray pick, but gave up way too much draft capital to get him. Herbert will probably be a bust, but I certainly understand why they took him. Don't agree with it, but understand it. I would have grabbed one of the elite OT's myself.

Faiders - C-. Of the top WR's available, thought Ruggs was the worst fit for their offense and their QB. Good player, but questionable pick for the Faid. The other CB was a reach. Not a bad player, necessarily, but way overdrafted. Nothing the Faid did in the first round concerns me going forward as a Chiefs fan.

Jeudy isn't gonna be Julio Jones.....he can be a good receiver but that was one knock on this class there is depth but there is no dominator.

I think Jeudy will be in the conversation for best WR's in the NFL quickly. He's a wow prospect.

I think Lamb is Chad Johnson, Jeudy is a bit harder for me to get a handle on, on who I think he really compares with.

How about a bigger, faster, stronger Antonio Brown without the drama?

You need to send the Raiders a gift for taking Ruggs over Jeudy. I watched them both in every game they played in and my jaw hit the floor when the Raiders made their pick.

I don't think he's as smooth as Brown was, Antonio Brown was on a HOF trajectory until he went nuts.

Trying to replicate the Chiefs....

Good luck with that.

I was happy with the move as well. I would have been happy with either, but I like Jeudy more, just never imagined him getting past 9.
