*****2023 NFL DRAFT THREAD - NO SPOILERS*****

[Dante84]

Version 2023 - PATRICK MAHOMES & THE HUNT FOR THE MIDDLE FINGER RING

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. These separate threads will be made as soon as the news breaks, outside of this thread. I will link the threads below. Pure knee-jerk gold to reference in the future.

Here are our picks:

Round 1, #31: Felix Anudike-Uzomah
Round 2, #55: Rashee Rice
Round 3, #92: Wanya Morris
Round 4, #119: Chamarri Conner
Round 5, #166: BJ Thompson
Round 6, #194: Keondre Coburn
Round 7, #250: Nic Jones

Here is a list of the prospects the Chiefs have shown interest in this year.

Veach likes this guy a lot more than analysts, but I'll trust him on mid-late round dbs.

[Icon]

Meh. Not sure why we needed to trade up for this guy.

[Kiimo]

I think if there's one thing we know about Veach, he'll trade up and he'll take a DB in the mid rounds.

Mocking a trade down is an exercise in futility. Putting together a mock? Always have him trade up for a DB.

Not that there's anything wrong with that he clearly knows how to find quality in the secondary.

[DJ's left nut]

This didn't seem to need a trade up.

And with Brooks and Kuntz still on the board, I really don't understand the pick.

that was really really anticlimactic lmao

[Mecca]

This guy fits all the stuff like the Chiefs like..

Special teams guy
High RAS
He's played deep and close to the line
2 years ago he had 5 sacks and 10 tackles for loss

Major versatility

He also did 20 bench reps which is crazy for a DB

If you're not careful and channel surf during these late rounds, you miss all the horn swaggling. I got lucky and just clicked back after the Commanders pick to see we traded up. Would have missed it.

Yeah…I’m right there with you.

[smithandrew051]

I don’t get it, but pretty sure we’ve said that about a few mid - late DBs that Veach has taken.

Really want to see us add a few more bodies to the DL. Nnadi isn’t it.

Yet, with Veachs track record with DB’s. We will be fine and dandy.

[Marcellus]

Word here at the draft is Cleveland wanted Connor pretty bad.

[philfree]

In Veach we trust and especially with mid round DBs.

[smithandrew051]

I think Noah Gray and Fortson are nice depth pieces, but are we seeing that Veach/Reid like them a lot more than we might have guessed?

Probably - but wouldn't that also suggest that they could've found another toolsy DB that's under the radar later?

Not gonna find many athletic DTs or TEs past Brooks and Kuntz. Just seems out of character for a GM that typically games the hell out of talent tiers.
