*****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.

Annnd, now they're talking about Dancing with the Stars again. WTF is going on? Did I accidentally change the channel or something?

Yeah, they didn’t talk about that safety we just picked barely at all (forget his name)

No we didn’t.

We had Jackson and Tolbert there for the taking. And Dean. And Winfrey. And a dozen other guys.

The draft wasn’t the problem - our board is.

This is 2 more picks focused on floor over ceiling. You can’t have an entire draft dedicated to ensuring your picks don’t suck. Some of them need some upside.

These are 2 of the lowest upside picks in the entire round.

I think they want guys that can come in a and contribute right away.

And I know we’ve been over it, but I think Moore’s ceiling is hire than you give him credit for.

I honestly haven’t done a deep dive into Cook, but I really liked what I saw.

Mike Borgonzi said everyone in the Chiefs' draft room gave a nice, small golf clap after everyone realized this was the first time Brett Veach has traded down as the GM before selecting Skyy Moore.

Very well executed!

[BossChief]

Not a big fan of that pick.

Would have much rather have moved up to get Jackson or take your pick at DT.

I’m going to deep dive into Brian Cook now, though. I didn’t see S as a pressing need so I never even look much at the early safeties.

This team has some depth issues so it's becoming pretty obvious they feel they need some immediate contributors. This is what happens when you have some really expensive players.

Also, lots of ?s on Georgia LB Nakobe Dean. It's straight forward. He had a laundry list of injuries in college (ankle, foot, shoulder, wrist). Pec/groin hurt before pro day (may need pec surgery post-rookie year). Knee has wear-and-tear.

And being smaller magnifies all that. https://t.co/HLV6s3Ielt

Keeping Clark and restructuring him was the lesser of two evils. If you put some others around him maybe he performs.

Broncos we’re not shy about their love fest for Nik Bonito

I have to say, we lost a few legit stars this off season, but i wager that the wr room and db room are both waaaay better than last year.

[VAGOMO 4 LIFE!]

If we take Nakobe Dean at 103, Clay will give Veach a reach around
