*****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.

Lol. I mean it serves me right for banging the drum for a speed rusher forever. It's a reach but a fun one I can get behind. I've honestly no idea what this team hates about DTs though!

It's not a reach actually...look at his RAS score.

Also it's because fat body DTs aren't hard to find.

Are you really calling 5th round picks reaches?

[ChiTown]

I’m betting our next pick is a DT

[Mecca]

Every single guy they've taken has been over 9 on RAS, the Chiefs value superior athletes.

It's Josh Kaindoh 2.0. It's a pick for the upside.

His pass rush grade is through the roof grade is through the roof per PFF. One trick pony maybe?

My draft book of nearly 300 prospects has not had our last two picks included. Either we're reaching or I need new source material.

Needs to be. We are thin as **** at DT. Jones can’t play every single down. We need some depth.

Could be but guys like Coburn who are just big run stuffers generally go late, those guys are almost always available in FA, there isn't a ton of value there.

This guy they took is basically a poor mans Will McDonald.

What draft book are you using?

Yeah sorry I shouldn't say that. More that I think there are more consensus picks left, and i THINK most people had this guy lower. But whatever, like I said, it's a fun pick. Just mad speed and measurables!
