Right. If for some stupid reason Tua fell to the Chiefs at 32, we still wouldn't draft him even though he'd probably be the BPA. The same applies if a player at the same position is the BPA in every round you draft in. In those cases, you either take somebody else or find a way to get out of that pick and put your draft stock to better use.

Veach does a pretty good job of navigating the draft so that the Chiefs picks are used to select players that are almost always at the top of their board.

Given the fact that there will probably not being any OTA's, and training camp could be shorter this year, I like the signing, especially with the low cap hit.

Ignoring the BPA is how the Chiefs ended up with Ryan Sims, Junior Siavii, Tank, Turk and a whole shitload of worthless players.

It's a horrible draft "strategy".

And drafting Larry Johnson cost us Troy Polamalu. The Steelers traded up to our spot for him. We should have stayed where we were and taken Polamalu.

Yeah, Carl made a massive mistake in trading back with Pittsburgh and passing on Polamalu.

But then again, Carl made massive mistakes each and every year in the draft, which is why the Chiefs won nothing when he ran the team.

If that rookie receiver is Brandon Aiyuk, that’s a sickening trio of fast twitch athletes... sold

I suppose the D-Rob enmity and loathing are due to the playoff dropsies ... but (at times) so did Kelce. D-Rob played well for us and helped the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, so if Mahomes likes this deal, I'm all for it.

In retrospect (although I haven't looked up numbers or figures or digits or numerals or any of that useless crap), Sammy was probably our most solid and dependable receiver in the post-season.

Therefore, I'm still holding out hope that Sammy works out a deal with Veachy. At the moment, we have a receiving corp that is the envy of the league and it would be nice to keep it intact-ish.

That way, we can focus our attention on drafting defensive studs.

You just completely sidestepped my point but okay.

I'm guessing they are preparing for losing Watkins then...I sure hope he's over the case of dropsies he had for a chunk of last year...

**HemiEd** · 03-28-2020, 07:08 PM

Great news! Anyone else watch that freak loss to the Titans week 10 on NFLN yesterday? Robinson had to have one of his best games ever!

Tee Higgins is the perfect compliment to the track speed of Hill and Hardman. Also a huge fan of KJ Hamler if they want to go with three burners.

So every once in a while, the stars align and the BPA is actually a player of need?

Awesome draft strategy!

No. BPA isn't ALWAYS the strategy you should take. Generally, yes. Always, no. Like I said before, its not that cut and dry.

If Watkins is released would love to see us draft a WR in the first or second as DRob is inevitably gone in 2021.

He was in his contract year last year and he went ghost then dropsy. Probably why he came back numbers not as expected.

Damn. He looked high as a mofo in the playoff game against the Texans for sure.
