*****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.

I'm with ya, man.

I may or may not metaphorically teabag penbrook at various times during the season. If I'm feeling frisky, that is.

Hope your boy Jame o doesn't join the graveyard of Detroit 1st round WRs named Williams.

Didn't think of it till now but there's some great irony in the NFL sending out the man of the year award winner to announce a guy that has been accused of DV multiple times as a first round pick.

You know who didn't do a good job today in the draft? The Donkies and Raiders

Hosting the event and Raiders get no picks till round 3 pick 86. That's pretty funny and they are going have to pay Devante Adams a boat load of cap money and Sneed can shut him down with Reid behind him. Carr is going be on his back a lot with Karlaftis chasing him. Looks like McDuffie can cover a lot of ground quick he looks quick. I'm pretty stoked.

Chargers got a guard won't make any difference. Donks don't get to pick till last pick of round 2.

All the moves AFC West made to compete we just killed it in one day. They gave up draft picks for players and going have to pay the price that eats the cap space and we gave up a high price player for extra picks and bolstered our defense and got younger. We still need a WR and work on the DL but there is still plenty Verch can do in this draft.

I feel validated. Part of the point in trading up for Williams was the drop in wr from tier 1 to tier 2. As soon as they started getting picked, all of the top wrs got picked and then no more wr picks in the first. Huge drop off from the first WR group to the 2nd. Jameson just went too high. You were right about that and many of us who wanted to trade for him didn’t want to give that much capital to move that high. I think his rehab was going to well to fast for him to drop like the dt Simmons did to the titans. If his rehab went a little slower, who knows, maybe he slides and we move up to 21 and get him.

**** imma say it: I want Alec Pierce. LFG

[UChieffyBugger]

What's pretty clear is the Chiefs preferred the younger prospects with upside rather than the older guys like Jermaine Johnson who will be 24 in December. I'm happy with the two picks tbh. Mcduffie looks like a Jaire Alexander/Marshon Lattimire type of corner to me so he should be exciting to watch. Meanwhile George looks like a Trey Hendrickson type of DE? Either way they were obviously positions of need and thankfully they have been addressed.

The WR we take should be interesting. Pickens, Watson, Moore, Pierce, Tolbert etc are there right now and one of them will most likely be the guy unless they wait to get Erik E with a later pick.

I think you'll see some action at the end, around pick 24 with teams trading back into R1 as it closes.

And, there were 9 right... crazy Round 1 for sure.

[Dull Tools]

I think we need a run on either LBs or RBs to get good value here.

I wanted 2 defensive players in the first round and we got 2 highly rated ones.

In the 3 picks tomorrow I am hoping for a WR and 2 defensive players again.

Only other position I can see is OT but I don't think there is much left.

At 50 I think the best players available for us could be WR and DI.

No one is taking RB's til round 3.

Yeah..there are 3 or 4 WR's out there I'd be happy about in R2.. He is one for sure. Jordy Nelson part deux.

[RaidersOftheCellar]

I think they should trade up to get Watson.

David Bell might be worth a shot in a later round. He didn’t test well, but he looks pretty fast and agile to me on film and put up huge numbers in the Big 10.
