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.

I’m inclined to think no given who was available at 29. But I’d still like to know

Here's what I think:

Two players at the first down marker were replaced with guys who can make sure tackles.

Bills behind-the-scenes video provides insight into Chiefs' first round trade

Kansas City Chiefs GM Brett Veach seems to have played his cards just right during the first round of the 2022 NFL draft.

Some were a little surprised to see the team move up for cornerback Trent McDuffie in the first round. However, some behind-the-scenes video from a bitter AFC rival makes it look like it was absolutely the right decision to move up and go get their guy.

The Bills released an interesting behind-the-scenes video from their draft day war-room, which provided some insight into the first round. After an early run on the cornerback position, Buffalo GM Brandon Beane knew they were going to need to trade up from No. 25.

“Cornerback was one of the positions that we’d hoped to address in the first few rounds,” Beane said. “(Derek Stingley Jr. and Ahmad Gardner) went three and four and I was like, ‘Man, we’re going to be trading out probably.'”

They were calling around with a few teams including the Green Bay Packers at pick No. 22 about making a trade-up, potentially with their eyes on a falling Trent McDuffie. When the news came up that the Patriots were trading back with the Chiefs, the Buffalo war room started bustling. Bills Assistant Director of Player Personnel Terrance Gray whispered what it appeared everyone was thinking: “They traded up in front of us.”

Now, we’ll never know if the Bills would have actually taken McDuffie over Kaiir Elam — who they ended up trading up with the Ravens to acquire. However, based on what Beane and Brett Veach have said about the situation, it seems pretty likely that would’ve been the case.

“Obviously (Derek) Stingley (Jr. to Houston) and (Ahmad) ‘Sauce’ (Gardner to New York Jets) went high and we had a grouping of corners there,” Veach said following the first round. “Knowing some of the team needs that were directly in front of us – and then I believe Buffalo then did take a corner shortly after and I think they traded up a spot, too. We knew that was coming and we had called teams, I believe the pick before and the pick after the New England trade, just to put ourselves in the position. With the way the board was falling, knowing that we’re picking really late in the draft, the odds of a guy like McDuffie being at 21, let alone 29 were very low. We just felt like it was the right time to make a move.”

Is this where we line up to suck off Brett Veach to say thanks? Because this was one helluva draft class.

smithandrew051 · 01-31-2023, 08:51 PM

If Kinard can even develop into an Allegretti level reserve, that’s a quality pick too

Sassy Squatch · 02-12-2024, 07:18 AM

Might be one of the GOAT draft classes. Key contributors across the board in back to back Super Bowl wins.

Pasta Little Brioni · 02-12-2024, 07:20 AM

What a legendary draft class...Holy shit

And to anyone that was still bitching about the Reek trade? Eat a dick

Hill trade was absolutely essential to our Back to Backs.

Pasta Little Brioni · 02-12-2024, 07:24 AM

5 starting caliber players and 2 other corners that could start in this league on other teams. All Pro corner,double digit sack guy, 1000 yard rusher....

JohnnyHammersticks · 01-18-2025, 06:46 PM

How about pulling Karlaftis and McDuffie out of the same freaking round??

Gonna cost a few zillion to lock these guys up, but they need to be Chiefs lifers imo.

Nice draft...even with Skyy.
