Hey, does anyone know why he didn't run the 40 at the combine or at his pro day?
Does he have a lingering injury? Also, I am NOT saying that FAU is going to be TJ Watt, but when I was watching the highlights in the OP, I kept thinking that they looked similar to each other. So, I looked up their NFL Prospect profiles, and yeah, they have some similarities. |

I'm guessing this pick guarantees another Super Bowl.
I'm good. |

Good pick. The LOS is pretty damn important.

Here's the facts: ESPN ranked Manzi, Bresee, and Harrison all lower than FAU. We tried to trade up and who knows maybe they would have taken Murphy if they did. Regardless, ESPN and PFF had him at 32nd best player. SI had him at 39. He was taken well within the range of variance where he was ranked. People need to stop with the "Chiefs are homers and wanted to stay at 31 so they could have a big celebration and draft a home town guy who was a huge reach for feels", as if fans celebrating two super bowls in 4 years with the greatest QB of all time really need to see another local player on the team before they buy a ticket to arrowhead. |

This is a good, solid, B+ type pick, and when you pick last, that's about all you can realistically expect.
Super productive player at a position of need (and a premium salary position, so you're cost controlled with him and George for the next several years), and still just 21. So that means he was putting up numbers at 19 and 20 against future NFL players. The pass rush looks really, really good right now, and that's a great thing. If you're going young (and as most of you have been harping UNPROVEN) at WR, then having an excellent defense is a hell of a cushion. |

I don't think I do. That sounds like standard draft day puffery. |

I think you see a little more burst than I do but still wouldn't consider him a 'twitchy' player. I think we both agree that he plays stronger than his size but he's not Foskey or White in terms of play strength. He's a fairly chalky player. I don't think we got any sort of amazing value (I don't think you do either) but I think we took a solid guy who wouldn't have been available past 40 or so at a position where we want to keep layering talent. It's...fine. B- outcome after it looked like A/A+ was on the table an hour previous to the the pick. It's neither brilliant nor stupid. It was a little more need based than I'd have expected as it's hard for me to believe that he graded higher in a vacuum than Porter or Branch, but they also clearly like him as a talent as they had him ahead of Foskey and White. Ultimately I don't see much to be irritated or amazed by. It's just a fairly standard pick and ultimately development will determine how it ends up. |

I don't get the impression they were looking to trade up for him is ultimately my conclusion. They lost quite a few guess they liked in that 6-8 pick bloodbath through the 20s, IMO. |
