Stout is the best one and I can handle Swanson for the most part. Matt Lane would be fine if he didn’t come across as a “know it all” douche. Plus his voice is annoying as ****.
For instance. He gave the draft a B+.....if you swap Kaindoh and Smith to the two 2nd round picks and take Bolton in the 4th and Humphrey in the 6th. With where they got picked at? It was a C. Then goes on to say that value goes out the window once they’re taken because the draft pick has been used. Well which is it then? |

Bolton is going to replace Hitchens. He's a 3-down player and your future defensive signal caller. |

I guess Veach’s tier approach and our gaping hole at DE is why Direckshun has the Chiefs losing the SB again to the Bucs in his new mock!

I'm in alot of agreement with RunKC and a little disagreement with staylor here.
I'm a huge proponent of drafting based on production. If a pick comes down to a player that produced versus a player that has all the athletic traits but didn't produce, I'm going to take the guy that produced every single time. It's a reason I was much higher on guys like Joe Tryon and Ronnie Perkins over guys like Odafe Oweh and Kwity Paye. Tryon and Perkins don't lack athleticism, they just don't show that "supreme" athleticism that you see with Oweh and Paye... yet both were far more productive than either, and, really, both combined. I want football players, not track athletes. That's one reason I gave Bolton an A grade and have been high on him through the process. Bolton is a football player. He makes the plays and the hits, he aligns and diagnoses, all that. He doesn't run a 4.40 as an MLB but he's ahead of the curve with a 4.58 as an LB. |

I’m also more comfortable doing that when you have a great coaching staff like we do on both sides of the ball. |

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

We went for the high upside great size/athleticism LB in the 2nd last year. This year, they went with the productive guy with all the intangibles and baseline athleticism. Last year they took a safe high floor guy at DE in Danna on day 3. This year, they went for the HR with elite size/athleticism at the position on day 3. We didn’t need another Gay and Danna this year. We needed Hitchen’s future replacement, and we needed an edge rusher with legitimate starting upside. |

There’s always good value falling. Charles Omenihu Darnell Mooney Trey Smith Hakeem Adeniji Jon Runyan Jr Mike Danna (what our staff saw) Bryce Hall So much value there. I know people say “there’s not enough roster spots” but I don’t agree. There’s lots of guys like Neimann, Watts, Wylie, Pringle, Saunders etc at the back end that can absolutely be replaced. |
