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.

Sounds like a great plan.

Had the school and the position right, just the wrong guy, lol.

Kinnard is a stud!!

Kentucky offensive lineman and St Ignatius alum Darian Kinnard ranked as the 44th best player in college football this season, according to Mike Farrell of Rivals.

The AP Third-Team All-American recently announced that he would return to school for another season. Watch out �� pic.twitter.com/oJw7sRi4qm

Hmm…. I like it, then. He’s probably a backup rt or g. If he does play RT, we better run the ball. That’s a bruising right side with him and Trey smith. Mercy. Maybe, veach is trying to encourage Andy to run the ball more with all of these mammoth linemen.

Couch-Potato · 04-30-2022, 12:12 PM

"This is one mean dude. His double teams and down blocks are ferocious and he’s rolled up one hell of a body count at Kentucky—he was credited with 47 knockdown blocks in 11 games during the 2020 season (another 32 in 2019 as a first-year full-time starter). Simply put, he puts guys on the ground and much of that success shines through when he’s firing vertically off the ball and running his feet."

I took him a few times in mocks in the fourth round.

He's very experienced, big, road grader type. That's a NASTY right side with Smith if we ever...you know...wanted to run the ball.

Here’s the problem though - you put him and Brown out there as your bookends and speed rushers will eat you alive.

I mean that’s a ton of mass with those two but also two guys with REALLY heavy feet.

Which is it? He played guard in college but projects as a RT in the pros?

RunKC · 04-30-2022, 12:14 PM

He isn’t playing this year. Niang will be healthy for camp, Wylie is back and Christianson was signed.

I think he’s gonna get his shot in 2023 after some development. Love that he can play G though. If Trey Smith gets hurt I’d love to plug him in

**chiefforlife** · 04-30-2022, 12:14 PM

This guy IS a RT, hes a really good one! I wanted Diesch but I didnt really know this guy. Looks like a Beast!

I think Niang just became our Swing Tackle.

Veach is the BEST! Every hole on our team has been addressed!

Know nothing about this guy. I’m positive they said In the announcement he played guard in college. How’d they get that wrong?

kccrow · 04-30-2022, 12:19 PM

I'm okay with Kinnard. If you're projecting him "right now" to play, then yeah I agree with the talking heads about OG. I don't think you can throw him out there at tackle today or he's going to get torched. Sit him for a year though and work on those hands and feet? Then I think you might have a RT. That's the beauty of it too, KC does not need a starter this year.

One thing is, I think this pick over a guy like Braxton Jones is that they are committed to OBJ because there is no project to LT for this guy.
