Herm out-scouted the entire NFL.

Merritt's the perfect example. Everybody who heard about Central Florida watched their games for Kevin Smith. But the Chiefs watched the games, and they came away with a high opinion of a blocking tight end with a massive frame that nobody else in the NFL even acknowledged existed.

Carr as a 5th rounder looks like amazing value for one of the best CBs to have played in DII over the last decade or so, and has the measurables to compete in the NFL.

This is just a great weekend for Chiefs fans. A time not to just enjoy your team but to be proud of them. Who the hell knew Herm was capable of this?

So if the Chiefs knew what everyone else wanted and they found a kid that no one else knew existed, why did they waste a 7th round pick on him instead of bringing him in as an undrafted free agent and using the pick on someone that another NFL team might compete for?

Just sayin...
