GM7: “This is the year to have a bunch of day two and day three picks. And I think the pool of undrafted free agents will be better than usual.”
GM8: “One of our analytics guys was talking about how Covid made this draft richer. Look at all the picks Baltimore has in the third and fourth rounds. [The Ravens have seven in the third and fourth combined.] Those picks are absolute gold. They are going to have a great draft. Five years from now, that will be the story to look back on.”
GM9: “I’m extremely bullish on the third and fourth rounds, into the fifth.”
Coach 1: “This draft, in terms of high-quality players, kind of drops off the cliff after about 10 picks. But the depth of make-it players who will contribute is very good.”

So am I still compelled to defer to Peter King and other national yahoos when folks on this board were saying this better than a month ago?
Why do we still pretend like these guys know more about the Chiefs than we do?
