This team often does what I want/expect them to do. When they’re taking 3 guys that I had on my list of 1st round targets (thread) early in the process without even having a 1st round pick, of course I’m going to love our draft. There’s proof all over this section that I was high on Bolton, Humphrey, Powell, Kaindoh, and Smith long before they became Chiefs. Hell, you even asked me before day 3 who I wanted at edge rusher, and Kaindoh was literally one of the guys I mentioned. So it’s very disingenuous of you to pretend that I’m just being a homer. I loved Travis Kelce, Chris Jones, Patrick Mahomes, Willie Gay, Mecole Hardman, Juan Thornhill, L’Jarius Sneed, Clyde Edwards-Helaire etc. all before the Chiefs drafted them. I have receipts as well. It’s not my fault that me and the Chiefs/Veach see eye to eye on prospects often. I wasn’t a huge fan of the Speaks pick or the 2018 draft as a whole, so it’s not like I just go along with whatever they do. Don’t let the facts get in the way of your narrative though!

It feels like the Chiefs didn't expect either Bolton OR Humphrey to be available when they were.

I expected Bolton to go in the 30's and I thought Humphrey was a fringe first rounder as well. And that was based on all the scouting reports, which had both of them slotted around 35. |

Didn’t even include either one in my list of 15 most likely picks at 58 and 63, because they were both in my top 40. I didn’t even realize Bolton was still on the board until we picked him. |

And to think, the whole thing was probably set in motion when the Raiders took Alex Leatherwood at 17. |

I have zero real insight, but I feel we would have gone receiver-corner with our 2nd's if those two weren't there. Just entirely too much value to let pass by with both guys at those spots. I mean, we just signed a center a couple of weeks before the draft..... |

Based on my limited following during that point in the draft, I would say basham and creed were listed above bolton as bpa as far as what the analysts thought. And possibly marshall. But that was probably about it.

Sorry, that was a Nick Bolton fan..not him. Hopefully he feels that way though!

You must be quite the draft guru... I'm amazed Veach hasn't reached out for your input |
