I like Murray's upside and attitude. I'm not familiar enough with the other players to pass judgment but I don't care for the Hill selection, as he'll be a tough guy to root for this season.

What's your opinion on Ehinger Dane most websites seem to be mixed on him right now I've never heard of him before ?

I'm not expecting Robinson to contribute much this season. We know Andy's offense is a tough grasp for new WRs, with that taken into account alongside Robinson's perceived lack of playbook understanding and his knock on lazy route running, I doubt he'll be ready to do much for us in 2016. He'll have some learning to do first.

When referring to "contribute", I didn't mean to imply that he be a starter or game changer but would make a contribution, much like Conley last year.

If the guy plays as fast as indicated, 200 yards shouldn't be too much of an expectation.

Ah! Gotcha. I think Robinson will be behind Wilson this year, so hopefully, in order for him to get some PT, that would require Streeter/Williams and Wilson going down. Though they may have some simple concept routes for him to run and contribute. It will certainly be a fun position to watch in training camp.

A focused Robinson may not have Conley's measureables, but he's a better WR talent, in my opinion. Did more in college with less talented QBs. Granted, the Gators threw more than Georgia, but I think Robinson is much more NFL ready at this point than Conley was last year. I think they're both going to be better than Wilson this year. If neither are, then we're in trouble. Streater is the wildcard. If we got the 2013 Streater, then WR could actually be a point of strength, for once.

I hope he jumps ahead of Wilson, who's a Soft Bitch

[the Talking Can]

jones willl give us rotational snaps at dl, and hopefully make an incredible group

one of the cbs will give us snaps at #3cb...i think gaines locks down #2 unless injured again

the rest are developmental, imo, and that's fine given how strong our roster is

[Sandy Vagina]

Didn't get the names I was hoping for.
The trading back was a little frustrating, but not really a problem.

KC certainly focused on addressing need positions. I liked that much.

[ChiefsCountry]

I would have preferred to stay at 28 and get Nkemdiche. Getting Chris Jones and Eric Murray is alright, I can live with it.

Hate the Russell and Ehinger picks. Should have stayed at took Vonn Bell.

Love, love DeMarcus Robinson. Hogan is solid for a 5th. I don't think I would have took the preggo beater. Don't give a damn about the 6th.

B+

I'm guessing they feel Russell is a starter outside?

1000X agree with the Vonn Bell statement

KeiVarae Russell will most likely go down as one of my all time hated picks from the chiefs.

That's just ****ing stupid beyond belief.

All American as a Freshman. Admitted to having answers to a test and was suspended for a year, came back and played lights out.

Perfect player for this defense and would have gone higher not for the broken tibia, which he actually played through.

Hating a guy before he's ever seen the field is CP Dumbassery at its finest and at this point, you're the Grand Master of Dumbassery.

I like Vonn bell's skill set better wish we didn't trade down when we could have had bell so until he proves otherwise he is disappointment in my eyes

He's a "disappointment" because you liked another player better?

Serious Question: Do you have Special Needs?

Agreed. Russel may be my favorite pick in this draft.
