*****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.

We have more of a total room than a stars and scrubs look.

I REALLY want Mathis, but who know what will be available at that point.

You and DJ forgot more about this drafts players in the last 5 minutes than I know total. But, I’m still going with in Veach we trust.

I’m going to deep dive into Brian Cook now, though. I didn’t see S as a pressing need so I never even look much at the early safeties.

S was a need, because Matheau isn't here anymore and the Chiefs did not bring back Sorensen (thankfully).

So it was a need, even when they already signed Justin Reid, someone has to be the 3rd safety to replace Sorensen.

Well if anyone is going to get anything out of Frank it will be Cullen.

And that doesn’t require a 2nd round pick.

Bush.

It’s not a need

[chiefzilla1501]

The Chiefs have the luxury of not going after boom / bust players. Luxury of having a solid team led by Patrick Mahomes. Last year they got some solid foundational guys. This year, they've got guys who fill spots (an inside/outside receiver, a Sorensen role player safety, a DE who may be a rotational run support guy early on). Apart from McDuffie, I'm not sure any of these guys are pro bowlers, but they all feel like sure bets to make a solid impact.

So my best guess is we’ll bring in a vet DE and that’s it for this season.

Ingrams probably coming back.

Which is fine, but does that actually solve our problem?

[Couch-Potato]

I like this new more physical Chiefs team we're putting together.

We've added x3 hard-hitting DBs + x2 big & tall WR's.

Coming together

Probably not, it'll probably take more than 1 draft to fix that problem. Unless something weird happens like Danna or Kaindoh suddenly developing.

[Christian & Barry]

Trade up for Travis Jones right now.

[MarkDavis'Haircut]

Psych was a great show.

Until Season 6.
