*****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.

Wasn't expecting that but that guy's a tackling machine. If nothing else Veach is bent on making sure the defense can tackle better next year.

Chiefs gonna hit you in the mouth moving forward!

Whatever. Our pass rush is just gonna suck and it is what it is. Probably nothing to do about it at this point anyway.

Don't love it, don't hate it.

Tonight feels like one of those nights where there was a ****load of 9's on the dance floor but we didn't want to get rejected so we settled for a 6.

[Christian & Barry]

Leo is a Karlaftis type player. High motor, blue collar, badass type. Karlaftis reminds me of Justin Smith from the Niners and Chenal reminds me of Chris Borland back when he played a couple years for the Niners.

[FloridaMan88]

Goodell’s secretary is a boring draft presenter.

About time someone on the defense tackles.

He doesn’t replace Niemann. He’s not a coverage backer. The tools are there but hes never really done it - he’ll need a TON of work there. And it’ll take a fair amount of time to get him there. He’s just never really worked in space much.

Like I said, he and Bolton effectively play the same position. I don’t understand what they’ll do with him.

Completely disagree.

It’s not the A+ day 1 was, but it’s a solid B+.

They continue to draft good football players. That’s a recipe for success when you have the best QB in the world.

Just because they didn’t get the guys people want doesn’t mean they took 6s.

They got value at every pick except maybe 62.

He's athletic if he's going downhill, but he will struggle in coverage, he will bring the thunder against the run though.

Boltons back up? Plays against obvious run situations?

Yep, I was just thinking about that. If Cook and this LB can be better replacements, maybe this D can improve this year.

[suzzer99]

This guy will almost certainly start in the base package. Meaning we very likely just drafted five starters.

Maybe Thornhill wins starter and Cook is the dime safety. But if so, hopefully that means Thornhill has figured his shit out. And the dime safety is very important - as Dan Sorenson has shown us.

People are attracted to the names the media fed them. Winfrey, dean ect. And when they fall people get mad that we haven’t grabbed them while completely ignoring that they had to fall so far for a reason. Maybe they’re off boards completely.
