NFL Draft *****2022 NFL DRAFT THREAD - NO SPOILERS***** - Page 179

Version 2022 - THE MAHOMES ERA, PHASE TWO

Let's ****ing do this.

Rules for once the draft begins:

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!").
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.

Is that right? The BigXII was completely shut out of the first round?

I mean unless you want to count that shitty trade the Cards made.

And still some solid developmental WR options.

Dare I dream that Nakobe Dean keeps sliding?

At this point I’m all in on the defensive makeover. I’d be okay with another edge and DB with the next two picks. Even Dean to play with Bolton and Gay. Or even Travis Jones. If defense can become a strength that would make us even tougher to beat every week.

**The Franchise** · 04-28-2022, 09:56 PM

Metchie or Tolbert tomorrow. Or trade for Shenault on Day 3.

Man, Ebiketie, Jackson or even Ojabo would be epic.

Sam Williams.

I mean lord, he’s just so damn talented. You pair his ceiling with Karlaftis floor?

I’m ****ing stoked man.

Jalen Tolbert and Menchie might be better than Watson or Pickens.

The DL coach the Chiefs hired loves to mix and match and show 3 and 4 man fronts...versatility up front will matter.

Every coach and GM after the draft…. He was our pick. The perfect one for us. We are so happy.

Jalen Tolbert (WR South Alabama) would look good in red & gold. Draft Projection: Rounds 2-3

Next Gen Stats 81

Overview

Silky smooth athlete who has morphed into a monster over the last two seasons. Tolbert is a high-character prospect with skill elements that are dripping with NFL potential. He gave work to everyone he faced, including SEC cover corners at Tennessee. His three-sport background offers unique perspective to pull from at his position, and his route-running gives him a leg up in camp battles early on. His traits, talent and production should push him up the board, and dialing up the competitive spirit could turn him into a top-flight WR2.

Strengths

Put together big games against the best opponents.
Right at home against SEC cornerbacks (SEE: Tennessee game).
Stellar 2021 production, including seven games of 100-plus yards.
Shimmies feet and shakes press jam.
Fights through grabby coverage.
Routes are gliding and smooth.
Stick-shift route runner with excellent change of speeds.
Powerful pre-break burst fools the coverage.
Sinks hips for quick, sharp turns.
High school baseball player with natural tracking talent.
Frames up his defender and imposes his will on the high-point.

Weaknesses

Would like to see better success through catch adversity.
Undisciplined drops at times.
Can improve deep-ball positioning against physical corners.
Could use more fire in his belly on every snap.
Gains positioning but doesn't always finish the block.

Hope Veach knows what he's doing.

Good call.

ForeverChiefs58 · 04-28-2022, 10:09 PM

I loved the picks, and can’t wait to see the rest of the new additions. A+ so far

The chiefs are finally planning on changing their defense in one draft.

Would love to see
S
WR
TE
OL
RB
DT/DE
Another CB/S
A trade for top WR

**The Franchise** · 04-28-2022, 10:12 PM

Brett Veach said the Chiefs did take a call from another team that was interested with the 30th pick. Based on their board and the positional need, Veach said the Chiefs "didn't want to get too cute."

The Chiefs selected George Karlaftis.

**RealSNR** · 04-28-2022, 10:15 PM

The Chiefs picked right after them, so I get why not much was said, but uhh...

That Patriots pick of Cole Strange was pretty ****ing Alex Leatherwoody. Might even be worse than Alex Leathewood.

Am I the only one who's going to roast them for their epic arrogant **** up? This just screams Bill thinking he's the only smart person in the entire league and he's going to do everything he can to prove it. I could see Scott Pioli making a pick like this one.

Les Snead and Sean McVeigh laughing at them during the Rams draft party was pretty epic.

“And we spent all that time studying him because we thought he’d be there at 104!!!”

For an NFL front office, that’s a pretty deep burn.
