Rickey says it’s LT

[Dante84]

For whatever that’s worth.

Draft intel
Jayden is the pick at 2
Patriots will be taking Maye or JJ (sounds like Maye and can only see them moving if they could guarantee they get one of them)
Chiefs taking LT in R1
AD Mitchell has been removed from many team's boards
Cowboys going RB in R2

Who's going to be ready at 32? The left tackle we took at 1.1 11 years ago was a project. You can only get what the draft gives.

Dude - if that ever got out and that agent had a leak that public, the entire agency would get fired into the ****ing sun.

And if that were even a consideration, you have to believe that every major agency in the industry is slapping key-loggers on their guys and throwing IT at it to see if they can smoke him out.

Because if you have an agency doing stuff like that it would be a MAJOR problem. Hell, there are probably real ethical problems and genuine malpractice exposure the agency would be subject to.

LT makes the most sense.

The Chiefs make major, major investments at tackle. They are obsessed with ensuring Mahomes is protected.

I mean anywhere that they find out its coming out like that is going to be ground zero when it gets out. Unless its the NFL office and they can cover it up. Could be a Vegas person? Someone connected setting Vegas odds and greasing palms?

Definitely true, but it can also work in our favor. We can't take a player that has already been chosen, but teams are only allowed to take one player with each pick. It becomes very difficult to block a team like the Chiefs from getting a good player because teams can't coordinate when they're all choosing the best option for their own team. That's how players sometimes fall in the draft to a team that is more than happy to scoop them up.

Agree with all of that. Just saying you cant be mad because who we get is a project. We just won the ****ing super bowl. Every draft is different and you can only take who's available. It is a crapshoot as much as we don't want it to be. Last year the first round really worked out kind of worst case. Three years from now he may be an all pro and it looks smart as shit. No one knows but we all get dead set on our own guys.

Which is why I think it's the League Office.

If it were anywhere else, they'd have burned the forest down looking for him by now. League office? Pft - publicity is publicity. Interest is interest. I don't think they'd care all that much.

That is fair. Didn't he get shut down once then come back on a fresh account? Maybe he pulled the plug for fear then they said hell nah Rickey we want the clicks.

And have no earthly idea at all how that would give him insight into anything these teams have going on within their draft boards.

If it were that easy, NOLA and Houston wouldn't have been caught with their dicks in their hands in 2017 and the Buffalo Bills wouldn't be dealing with the waste of space that is Kaiir Elam.

Not buying it. This kind of wholesale knowledge ain't out there for some dude to get. Now he may be right that the Chiefs are going after an OT - but I'm not convinced he has any more knowledge than any of the rest of us do in that regard. It's an obvious need and we have an aggressive GM.

The rest is just jerking himself off.

I mentioned it yesterday in the Lounge, but I'm definitely skeptical of his draft predictions, because it's a different animal than free agency.

[Dunerdr]

No ****ing way to predict a draft. A thousand other guys are trying with varying levels of insight. No one hits shit after about 10.

Moving up for a project LT would annoy me.

Sounds like anything after 13-16 will be a 2nd round player going in the first. I just hope we don't sell our souls unless its Alt or one of the big 3 WR's. If we cough up a 2nd or something to jump 10 spots for BTJ or one of the top LT's that may have slipped, I'm game.

But I'm with you - I don't want a project either.

I could live with it, but only if it's after the first round.

[wannaGOback]

[Dunerdr]
