*****2022 NFL DRAFT THREAD - NO SPOILERS*****

[Dante84]

Version 2022 - THE MAHOMES ERA, PHASE TWO

Let's ****ing do this.

Rules for once the draft begins:

1. No spoiled picks in this thread, all weekend. This means that as tweets are leaking picks a few minutes before the selection is announced live, you don't post it in this thread (ex: embedded tweets), reference it in this thread (ex: Joe Slapdick says it's So and So to Green Bay) or hint at it (ex: "it's a RB!").
   
2. Don't be a dick.

Otherwise, have fun, talk shit, freak out and lose your goddamned minds. It's Draft Weekend. The hot takes in these threads are so funny. I'll also be starting player threads for each of our picks as they are made, with videos and notable stats/takes in the OP. I will link those threads below. Pure knee jerk gold to reference in the future.

Here are our picks:
Round 1, #21 - Trent McDuffie
Round 1, #30 - George Karlaftis
Round 2, #54 - Skyy Moore
Round 2, #62 - Bryan Cook
Round 3, #103: - Leo Chenal
Round 4, #135: - Joshua Williams
Round 5, #145: - Darian Kinnard
Round 7, #243: - Jaylen Watson
Round 7, #251: - Isaih Pacheco
Round 7, #259: - Nazeeh Johnson

Here is a list of the prospects the Chiefs have shown interest in this year.

That's entirely different.

Whatever makes you feel better I guess.

If the Chiefs trade up a couple times, I'll await apologies.

A lot of talk in the last two weeks of Pickens falling well out of the first.

I learned a long time ago to not get too invested in this. Going to watch as an observer and enjoy the Draft as it unfolds. I trust Brendon Vickory.

Also, it's great entertainment watching the other teams overreach and/or screw up.

Congratulations making top100 dumbest post I've ever read on Chiefs Planet.

The reason we draft at the end of first round and do note it's basically end of each round is because we win Championships or in championship games. Losers pick first winners pick last that's design by draft based on record. This is also not a band new thing. Unless trades are made but that can cost additional players & or draft picks so you have to be careful exactly what you want to give up in order to move up in the draft.

I know it must suck for some to win Championships and pick last in every round we should trade Patrick Mahomes for a first and draft a punter.

That's probably the reports that he's an ass.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Sure seems like the same 5-6 guys getting mocked to us for the last month.

Which means we're in for a surprise tonight.

[Dull Tools]

The more I think about it the more I want 3 defensive players with our first 3 picks and then take a flyer on someone like Pierce/Pickens/Metchie III with pick 62.

Or trade up to get a falling DE out of the top 4.

I think we need to concentrate on defense. An offense of Kelce, Juju, MVS and Hardman is plenty good enough when you have a Mahomes.

Patriots built their offense off a strong defence and we can start doing that tonight.

they might well trade up in the second.

I doubt very seriously they throw a bunch of picks at going way up in the first.

It's not that kind of draft, it's not necessary.

If he's a hard working ass, I can deal with it.

If he’s bullying WRs every Sunday like he did in college, I can live with that.

This.

Drafting at the end of the first round every year is ****ing awesome!

In fact, I'd like the Chiefs to draft at #32 every single year.


Can we make that happen?
