*****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.

Our last 4 years of drafts have been excellent.

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.

Who was the kid we signed from the Texans - the right tackle that graded out more highly as a pass blocker than run blocker. Maybe Kinnard sits and watches him how to play the position for a season then takes it in '23?

Geron Christian. We also signed Roderick Johnson from them too but he's not quite as good of a player.

I don't think there was ever any question that OBJ will be staying here.

In years past SEA has had Sherman, Browner, and now Woolen. That's a perfect pick for them. Love the player and the fit. Man, that's a tough one for me.

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

Flexibility: The raw size and mass of Kinnard hasn’t yielded an overly rigid player, which is a nice surprise given his frame. He does show good hinges in both a linear and three-dimensional light—he’s not heavy-footed and doesn’t struggle to open his hips to work over the top or inside of blocks. He does play a little high at times, however, although I do think that comes when his set points and landmarks are stressed.

Draft Network has him rated as a 3rd round value and the #71st rated overall in the draft. They project him as a Guard though, but I doubt that's where Veach has him projected, obviously.

Maybe niang starts the season pup and he competes with Wylie to start? He’s probably our RT next year?

[Couch-Potato]

7th picks:

RB Ealy
WR Ross
LB Clark

[VAGOMO 4 LIFE!]

I want smoke Monday in the 7th!!

[kcbubb]

Maybe a thuney replacement next year? What’s thuney contract look like for next year? I hate spending that much money on a guard.

[BryanBusby]

Thuney is here for awhile.

You need to be banned

[CatfishBob2]

None of our guys are going to be left at our next pick. I hope we jump back into the 6th. If we don't I just want to us to take a shot at Kyron Johnson if he's still on the board

[Pitt Gorilla]

Gimme isiah Weston from UNI and we’ll be good to go.

[louie aguiar]

Could Tyler Badie be there in the seventh?
