Post-Mortem: 2022 NFL Draft Class - Page 15

Dante84 · 08-08-2022, 03:49 PM

Figure we can drop nuggets about random dudes from this draft class as their early careers progress.

The good news is that I got him for 5 years at a bargain price in Sandbox...

Looking forward to the next half decade with him and Myles Garrett at DE.

(Why don't you have a Sandbox squad, BTW - you'd enjoy it)

How do I get involved?

Click 'play now' and I think you should be in good shape. Not sure what you'd need to do to get a team in Chiefs1 but I know there are a couple dormant teams available. Aberdeen, Crown Point and Jonesboro are all teams presently showing as available for 'adoption' in League 1. Crown Point was really competitive 2 years ago and has a decent QB situation w/ Cousins under contract for a couple more years. Aberdeen has Winston...eh. Jonesboro has Hurts and Fields but needs a lot of work at the skill position.

CD or maybe Rainman can probably get you directly into one of those teams if you wanted to do that instead of jump into a different squad in one of the later leagues that surfaced and don't have many CP members.

I just didn't understand him sliding. He clearly had 1st round tools and when I looked into the 'character flags' they just seemed awfully far in his rearview. And with the tools he ALSO had 1st round production from the SEC and an incredible pedigree.

It just didn't make any sense to me that this guy wasn't going to be a top 50 player.

Boy - it sure would be nice looking at him and Karlaftis at DE on this roster for the next several years and just being comfortable that we'll be solid there.

It's hard for me to whinge because with those 2nd and 3rd picks I was very happy with Karlaftis and Moore. I get it for those who weren't a fan of Moore. Here's the question, from what you've seen and if you had that 30 pick again, do you go with Karlaftis OR Williams...

But...I can have BOTH.

Because if the question is Karlaftis or Moore, it ain't even worth asking.

With Andy and Pat here, we can obviously turn whatever WR's into good players (JJSS,MVS,Hardman,insert WR) so stop spending resources on guys who aren't super high upside.

RunKC · 09-18-2023, 07:54 AM

McDuffie looks like a blue chipper
Karlaftis looks like he's taken a Hell of a jump and could be a blue chipper
Chenal has been an excellent value at LB
Skyy made some key plays including a TD
Watson stamped a mother****er and played well
Josh Williams has been a competent starter
Pacheco is ****ing good

This draft class showed up again yesterday. It's looking like it could be the best class in franchise history

O.city · 09-18-2023, 08:04 AM

Yeah, they are really coming on. I thought Skyy really played well yesterday.

But the 2017 draft will always be the best in franchise history because well......we know.

RunKC · 09-18-2023, 08:38 AM

Yes Chris is playing elite football but if you get the chance for another draft like this I gotta think you take it.

It's so hard to keep the roster this good with limited resources

O.city · 09-18-2023, 09:07 AM

Well sure, but there's a reason drafts like that are rare.

You keep elite players and draft around them. It's alot easier.

I believe there's still a team available in Chiefs1...

McDuffie - agree, he's our slot guy/ match up on WRs that aren't Mike Williams' size
Karlaftis - OK so far, looked better week 2 as well.
Moore - still time but I've lowered expectations
Chenal - Stud. Impressed by his development. I love the pick.
Williams - Not sure what he'll become. Useful rotation probably? Fine for a 4th rounder
Kinnard - Bum
Watson - Great for a 7th rounder
Pacheco - Valuable starter and great pick
Nazeeh Johnson - already a great gunner, could become more.

Kiimo · 09-19-2023, 03:59 PM

uh Karlaftis looked fantastic week 1, too.

DJ's left nut · 09-19-2023, 09:05 PM

I love Willie Gay - his energy and the explosion he shows out there is awfully rare.

But man, you could get everything he brings, though used more situationally, in a Chenal/Tranquil duo pretty easily.

Seems like he's likely one of the odd men out come extension time.

He's gone. He still flashes but I don't think it's enough to get paid, especially if Tranquil picks up better in coverage.
