Good lord , did Veach just nail every pick?

If Cook can cover elite TE's 1-1 he'll be the first S since EB. It's asking a lot.

Veach said a reason Cook fell is because he went to the combine and didn't do many or the drills. I think he was banged up. He was also banged up throughout the rookie mini-camp.

Hate to say it but he may be our S version of Sammy Watkins.

I never thought EB could cover elite TE's all that well.

:facepalm:

This ****ing fan base I swear.

After a few hits down field WRs are goins start getting jitters and "accidentally" run the wrong route to keep from getting smashed by Bryan Cook. They will hear footsteps and lose concentration for the ball knowing they are going get plowed. I already think of Deron Cherry with this kid.

Looking at Chenal got me looking at our safeties too. Jesus ****ing christ it's easy to see why we drafted Cook. This kid is going to get serious playing time along with Chanel. Veach definitely had his reasons for doing what he did. The defense is about to be DISGUSTING!

Fyp, loser.

Gronk approves this message.

This post hurt a part of me I thought was dead forever.

They’re worse on Twitter.

Against Tampa Bay I want Bryan Cook first play of the game blitz Tom Brady and dive at his legs and make Tom Brady retire for good. Hit same leg as Bernard Pollard did.

I think we should have a year long thread of dumbest post nominations. Then Rain Man does what he gets paid for and run a poll for the most dumbest post. I think this post would be top 15 or a dark horse make it top 5.

I bumped into Veach a week or so ago and chatted with him for a few minutes. Cook was the player he was most excited about in the draft.

No you didn’t.

But you can imagine if he did right?

I mean I did. Actually in your city. Don't have to believe me.

Did he mention Chiefs Planet that he appreciates our thoughts and suggestions and takes them all into consideration?

Good because no one believes you.

Bro you got it all locked up with the Clyde will produce on a Priest Holmes level post.

He needs coaching but I think the raw talent is probably there.

So is this guy Eric Berry-Lite, or what?

Bernard Pollard

I don’t find his highlights impressive. Mostly he’s just finishing off already broken plays

Leo chanel on the other hand is destroying blockers then leveling guys.


The play where he knives under the blocker and blows up 3 guys reminds me of berry. Couple highlights of eb doing that.

He reminds me of Ronnie Lott minus all the interceptions.

I think it is totally believable that Veach would stop and chat about the draft with some random stranger and throw in a caveat that he is most excited about his pick of Bryan Cook. I mean it's not like Veach has anything else to do between now and the next draft besides hang out around the checkout lanes at HyVee and chat about the guys he just drafted with total strangers. Totally believable.

It was a different situation, but once I had just won something at a charity event and Veach approached me out of the blue afterward and introduced himself (as the GM of the Chiefs). This was after we had just traded for Clark and he was gushing and took out his phone to show me video of the guy at OTAs. He then told me some stuff about the Chiefs draft that has never been made public and we talked about other related things.

Safe to say Veach is a pretty upfront guy so I wouldn’t discount that story.

I once ran into Brett Veach in Sunrise Beach. We were at a deli, I ordered a double meat double cheese philly, he ordered a spicy Italian. We got to the check out and he was rummaging through his pockets, then he turned to me and asked if i had $3.50. Thats when I realized he wasnt actually Brett Veach he was a damned ol Loch Ness Monster!

Happy to send you a picture of Veach and me if you'd like and you will find it wasn't the Loch Ness Monster.

Please tell me you didn't give that dang ol monster no treefiddy...

I'll take this guy's opinion over yours sorry

Yeah I may have exaggerated a bit comparing to Priest Holmes. However we well see just how he does this year. I'm expecting a good year out of him as long as he stays healthy. I can't defend an injury prone player because if your not available to play then your worthless so I'd like to see him go the season without getting hurt. Then also being productive and running and receiving as apart of the passing game. I want him go over 1000 yards from LOS. I think having another back like Jones will help take the work load off of CEH and that will help him stay healthy. Everyone ignores what he accomplished his rookie year before he got his first injury. He had more yards than Priest first year running the ball and Priest didn't play his rookie season. So there is hope for CEH as long as he stays healthy. He should come into camp healthy, he had gall bladder surgery last year and came into camp under his playing weight and It that that contributed to his struggles last year. So if he can play like his rookie year and behind this offensive line he can produce. He also played good in the playoffs but lets ignore that too.

I base liking a guy out of hope that he produces but I can't make it a fact he has to prove himself and as a Kansas City Chief I'm rooting for him to have success. It's on him to be successful not me. I still don't get the hate for players that were drafted too high and maybe we should have gotten a different guy but CEH is who we will roll with like it or not.

The last vid I did of Chenal went over really well, so figured I'd throw something together for Bryan Cook. I like this pick quite bit personally. Fair warning, if you don't like some metal, then you might not enjoy the vid as much.

Bryan Cook (S | Kansas City Chiefs) Cincinnati Highlights REACTION video

https://youtu.be/efFJ865HnBk

Great job, bud!

Much appreciated. It's fun to piece together some stuff like that.

His highlights are mucho impressive, with great plays in both the run game and passing.

Yeah, that was fun. The guy likes to hit and likes to tackle. He's gonna bring swagger to our D.

Nice. I really hope he transitions well to the NFL.

I really think he's going to fill a role here no matter what. I don't know if that means replacing Sorensen right away or what yet. But I see him as the type of player that Veach and Co envisioned when they went into this draft wanting to rebuild the defense. If nothing else, I think he will make a great box safety because his containment technique is actually super impressive for a SS. I do not see any kind of "bust potential" with this guy. I see at bare minimum an effective role player.

Glad most of ya'll are enjoying the couple of videos I've made.

Really can't wait till this guy & or Leo hits Russell Wilson and Josh Allen when they scramble. I know we have others that can hit hard but I think those two hit hard with more enjoyment and violence.

that video slaps!

KCrockaholic you rule!

This kid is going to be good!

Hes going to **** up Spags "One Man Open at All Times" system

I was told by DJ that this guy sucks what gives

If he struggles in coverage, but is a physical player, there's a place for that on a squad but it's not what it once was. It's not ideal, and you hope that's not the case.

But Jonathan Abram has shown that there's just not much of a need or place for that type anymore in the league.

Why would anyone think he will struggle in coverage considering he didn't allow one touchdown last year


If this guy tested at the combine we would have never gotten him

I believe Spags is going to try to implement a few players that have traits of a DB's and LB's in order to combat the aerial challenges we will face in the AFC. Cooks is a perfect example of a player that has good skill sets in packages as a DB or LB. As much as Mahomes struggled against some of these high coverage schemes, why not present a version of that to some of these other guys and see how they do.

:rolleyes:

You're right dude.

Brett Veach drafted 5 1st rounders, brah.

Chenal is a HoF talent, Sky Moore is the best WR in the draft, Cook would've worked his way into the 1st, McDuffie should've been in the top 10. Do I need to look in the Kinnard thread to see if you compared that guy to Orlando Pace yet?

Blah blah blah blah blah.

Suck more dick, would ya please?

Cook played corner at Howard 2 years before he transferred to Cincinnati. He had 17 passes defenses and 5 INT’s in 2 years playing corner.

Not saying he’s some stud in coverage but I wonder if they felt comfortable knowing he had previous success playing corner?

Only way to find out is to see him on the field

He's not Abram though.

He's at least adequate as opposed to terrible in coverage.

I believe I compared him to Rapp at some point in here.

And in a vacuum that’s an okay pick. But as I said at the time, I feel like the fact that he was our 4th selection has us blowing past the reality that he was a 2nd round pick.

That’s not an insignificant investment.

Do you think anyone enjoys pump the brakes posts ever?

I think CP was formed as a direct response to mindless homers on the Star board.

That's indeed where I started. This looks like our best draft class maybe ever I will continue to be optimistic.

It shows.

Yep not apologizing for it. I like the Chiefs. Go Chiefs.

I'd think ideally, he's better than that all things considered.

Safeties that have coverage issues just scare me.

Meh, i like the pick. I got good feelings about him.

not ideal in a typical 2 deep backfield or single high... but spags isn't typical. guy uses 3 safeties with a pretty high frequency and each has their own unique role.

i think he'll be fine.

I think he's decent. I didn't like the pick because I thought there were better and more valuable players available, like Travis Jones. But I think he'll be fine to good and that's...OK.

Of our two 2nd round safeties of late I preferred the Thornhill pick because he just has such good coverage instincts and looked like a tailor-made single-high option. And honestly, the track Thornhill was on as a rookie alongside a player like Cook would be a very nice complementary duo.

But I see people talking about Cook as being a Sorensen replacement in year 1 and a Thornhill replacement in year 2 - I just don't see Cook (or Reid) as being ideal options as a single high. And if you are playing with 2 guys who you're really locked into 2-high looks with, it limits your flexibility a significant amount.

What if Cook is Sorensen bad but hits Tom Brady hard enough to literally kill him? Would you consider it a good pick?

Ring of Honor!

Watch this guy end up being our best rookie, the least talked about draft pick out of the first 5 or 6 picks and was a 2nd. Gonna come out ballin with a chip on his shoulder.

This! His highlights are unreal. We have some heavy hitters on this defense now.

When you can look at a player and just tell he's gonna be a badass.......

I love to hear his leadership qualities already showing up. Seems like he’s already taking that role of leader of the entire secondary.

Thanks for posting the interview.

Credit where it’s due: this was an excellent play. Only player on defense that didn’t bite on the play action.

5 tackles, that PD and had a QB hit on Brady on a nicely designed blitz. Not to bad for his first extended action

Yeah, Cook quietly had a nice game.

Excellent game and he’s a rookie hope he just keeps improving!

About 2 games worth of snaps for a 3rd safety. He’s had a QB hit and pass defensed

LET COOK COOK SPAGS

It feels like I've seen one of these for all of our DB's not named Justin Reid. The entire secondary has been low-key playing really well this season.

At this point I don't know if I'll ever get used to safeties wearing #6 and whatnot. Not a complaint really, it's just still weird!!

Man, really hope we can sign Thornhill to an extension, and eventually Sneed.

A secondary with Reid, Thornhill, Cook, Sneed, McDuffie, and Watson for the next few years would just be disgusting.

What, no mention of BoPete Key.....I mean, Joshua Williams?

(that oughta do it...)
