Worthy and Omegadjie are a very common duo in mock simulators for me.
Love it. |

We should have a Keeper Mock Draft Thread.
Everyone only uses the thread to edit one post with their own personal mock drafts, and general player predictions, (or predictions for the season) etc. No replying, and no posting comments etc. Just one post per user, and they edit that post as often as they like. Full disclosure, I don't even know if posts can be edited over and over. Then, as soon as the team with the first pick is on the clock, on draft day, the thread is locked. Then, we can all look back before the next draft to see who got what right, who was way off, and everyone can "keep" the players they believe they were right about, and those names will get added to their post in the new year's Keeper Mock Draft Thread. There could be a sister thread discussing the Keeper Mock Draft Thread, so everyone can point out that they were right, etc. but the actual thread would not include comments, etc. so that it's clean as possible. For me, like, I can't find my post from a few years ago, but I watched a KU Iowa State football game, and made a comment that I thought Purdy had some NFL potential. I wish I could point back to that post. I bet a lot of posters have made a comment like that, that they wish they could look back on, but finding a post that old is not easy, for me, but probably especially for the people who have post counts in the tens of thousands. Just a thought. What do you guys think? |

I don’t disagree with most of this. The few things I do disagree with are: Toney - nobody is trading for him. He with either ride the bench or be cut this year. D Smith - I think the Chiefs have faith that Wanya Morris can fill in nicely at LT. And at the fraction of the cost. He filled in nicely for D Smith in weeks 12 through 17. But I do believe the Chiefs bring in camp fodder to compete with him. N. Allegretti is still on this team next year as an important starter or B/U. Backup QB - I think Oladokun has shown promise as a competent B/U QB. I’m sure there will be a veteran competing for the B/U spot but we are in that window where ever $ counts. If a position can be adequately filled by a player with a small cap hit I think that’s the direction we go just to keep our superstars around. Ie if not re-signing D Smith and not paying a B/U QB (and paying your punter pennies etc) means you get to keep Sneed. I think you do it. Willams/Watson/Boye Doe are great corners but aren’t in the same ballpark as Sneed and McDuffie |

I like it.
I dont think worthy measures as tall as his bio. He screams 5’10” (listed at 6’1”) He is an awesome fit for this offense. He could take over alot of the end arounds, screens and sweeps to get involved year one like rice did, while being a bit better of a deep threat too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I like it, other than nobody's giving anything for Toney.

I disagree. Someone will give a conditional 7 for a punt returner in Toney.

Worthy also adds the dimension of being a lethal punt returner for us.

If I'm putting money on it, we're bringing Smith back and drafting a high-upside LTotF like you've done here. Protecting Mahomes is priority one.
If the board falls right, we could see an LT in Round 1 then a trade-up for Worthy in Round 2. |

I'm so close to liking this but I just can't get my head around the idea of 'letting Sneed walk'.
And if you do, it's presumably because you tagged Jones to buy time to work out a deal? Well if you do that and his starting baseline salary for 2024 is $32 million(ish) then there's no way he signs for 3/$84 million. It'll take more than that once you tag him. Which is why you don't tag him, JMHO. Put a tag/trade of Sneed for a mid/late 2nd and a 4th in there with the thought that the deal gets done quickly and then both Jones and Smith re-sign after the tag money gets traded away and opens back up. Then I can see all that being awfully close to what happens. Milton is an annoying likely pick at RB but I still feel like he's a little redundant and would sure like something different in that RB2 spot. With him, Pop and Perine you have 3 virtually identical players from a stylistic perspective. I still don't see a guy you turn to if you think you can find an advantage in, say, outside zone. That's why I've become such a fan of Jaylen Wright, but I'd imagine you have him off the board by your pick in the 3rd. You have a tendency to be pretty conservative on the 'available players' list for us. Moreso than me anyway; typically by about a half a round. |

I like it. I’ve really warmed up to Worthy as the pick too.
The one thing I would change is I don’t think the DT from Texas A&M is too redundant with Buggs and Farrell already on roster. I think they look at more of a penetrator to train up behind Chris. Someone like Justin Eboigbe or Gabe Hall. |

And they seem to be interested in Keontay Ingram as a power back. |

Oh, and he was friggen awful. I personally wouldn't have bothered to keep Prince on the practice squad. He didn't show anything at all back there. |

Buggs is nothing more than a depth piece if you look at his NFL career. We will address the NT position beyond Farrell and Buggs either in free agency or the draft. |

And he played quite well. I think they have a nice little NT rotation they could build from those two. You won't get a ton, but you don't need a ton from NT in this system. They're just there to take up space and both guys can do that. |
