What rookie are you most excited for?

[kcgreene]

Just curious who everyone is most excited for of our drafted and undrafted rookies.


Personally, I really enjoyed what I saw out of Wiley at TCU.

Wiley I think. Worthy, unless he flat shits The bed, isn’t going to be a big surprise, imo.



Wiley could be the future TE1 after Travis retires.



Btw, thx for creating an actual football-related thread. Off-season Sux.

Yeah, we needed some real football talk instead of everything that kindve just keeps happening off the field.

Very much on the Wiley train as well. I also think he's the future TE1. Hopefully Kelce trains him up a bit.

Tbf, it's unlikely that Wiley will be the next Travis Kelce. And I say 'fair,' because a lot of people are going to expect that much from him because he's the heir apparent, and those are really tough shoes to fill.

When I think about it, we've been insanely lucky to have a pair of the greatest TEs in NFL history back-to-back in our lifetimes, and the odds of drafting the next all-world TE with Wiley are just infinitesimal. But I like what little I've seen of him on tape, and even if he only turns out to be an average starting TE (better than Gray) he'll still be a great get for us, simply because this offense is geared around the TE position.

Oh, I get it entirely. Some people will be let down because they'll expect another HoF TE, but if he can be a good TE and be reliable for 650 to 700 yards a year and contribute as he's needed, I'm more than happy.

Nonsense, 100% of our draft picks will be hall of famers, until proven otherwise.

Yah, that's pretty much what I'm hoping for. A solid TE1 that can give the offense a little of that security blanket element.

[Rainbarrel]

r's and n's are so close. The poll may be confusing at first

[wutamess]

I'm most excited for our potential left tackle of the future.

Personally, I was really hoping that Amarius Mims would fall in the first and we'd get our hands on him, but I do think getting Kingsley at the end of the 2nd round was a steal in itself. Honestly, I think Rounds 2 through 6 Veach got a lot of contributors who have potentially high ceilings.

I'm most excited to see the fastest guy ever play for my favorite team, the Kansas City Chiefs!

I also am looking forward to seeing what Wiley and Hicks can do, I think those are probably the rookies that will see a relevant amount of snaps too.

[TomBarndtsTwin]

I think Hicks is gonna fit ideally in this defense and be a great chess piece for Spags once he learns the system.

Draft picks like this are why the Chiefs are able to keep constantly turning over the DB room without losing a ton of production. it's why we can re-sign McDuffie after 2024 and let Justin Reid walk. Between Cook, Conner and now Hicks, we don't need to be paying money to more than one DB at a time.

And that's a BIG luxury to have in today's NFL.

Hope we keep Merritt and Spags forever and ever . . . . .

Between Veach and Spags, I have absolutely no doubt that we cant' maintain this mindset and keep an inexpensive secondary. Great point!

i think the answer has to be worthy. i'm also interested to see how many snaps wiley gets this year tho.
