Yes Pre-Draft Analysis Araiza lost the punting job in 2020 and responded by turning himself into the best punter in college football in 2021. He averaged 51.2 yards per punt -- setting an FBS single-season record -- and had 40 punts downed inside the 20-yard line, most in the FBS in 2021 according to ESPN Stats & Information. He made six tackles in 2021, too. Araiza also kicked off and served as the team's place-kicker the past three seasons. -- Steve Muench Matt Araiza FOLLOW 6'1"200 lbsSan Diego State 1POS RK 155OVR RK 60GRADE

Maybe KC should draft this punter? Looks really really special. Some say he can kick FGs too. Matt Araiza https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sports/aztecs/story/2022-04-27/will-matt-araiza-change-calculus-in-nfl-draft

Maybe trade a couple of #7 for next year #6

Awesome draft and off season. Veach and Co nailing it. Kc got younger. KC got control of the current Cap. KC got flexibility for next years cap by drafting potential replacements for next years free agents. KC Defense Got Way Better and Depth.

Love the Defense Defense Defense Focus!

Best DL available.

Ignoring is best. Everyone has opinions that should be respected. After all none of us really are experts.

He will make the team and may start ahead of CEH. Jones is a nice pick up.

Yes. Both are starters. Are they great? Andy does not focus on a running game so really the RB is not that critical.

My point was KC will not use a third on a RB in this draft. Thus no #1 after that is likely. RB is not even a need.

Bryan: The Chiefs have officially solidified a good secondary heading into 2022. Cook can come in and be a major upgrade over Dan Sorensen, with the potential to be a long-term starter in all defensive packages. For me, he was one of the most underrated safeties in the class for me — and my excitement for the youth on this defense is palpable. Grade: B+ Talon: Bryan Cook is a sneaky-good Chiefs pick in Round 2. Cook played in a great system in Cincinnati — and he is a physical dude who packs a punch. He plays well in the box and he is a former cornerback, so he has the athletic prowess to cover as well. Cook being added — along with Round 1 pick Trent McDuffie — has vastly improved Kansas City’s defensive backs. On defense, the organization clearly wanted to get better — and continue getting younger. A little extra silver lining is that tight end Travis Kelce gets a fellow Bearcat on the roster. Grade: A

Ron: I really thought highly of this safety class coming into the draft — and Cook was the last of the group at the top that I really was interested in. He profiles as a strong safety, a box player that will be a plus against the run — and be competent as a coverage player in what should be a limited role. This pick sets up the Chiefs at safety for the next three seasons, with Cook and Justin Reid as a pairing that complement each other really well. Reid’s free safety skills can now be utilized to their fullest extent while Cook’s strong-safety style plays the other spot. Juan Thornhill is now entering a very important contract year — even more important than it was before. Cook is going to be a solid starter at the bare minimum. You love that at pick 62. I do think I would’ve looked harder at the edge and receiver positions. Grade: A-

Jermaine Carter, linebacker The Chiefs are adding Carter, the former Carolina Panthers' linebacker, on a one-year deal. What it means: The Chiefs needed help at linebacker and Carter could be it after he started 17 games for the Panthers last season. The Chiefs released one of their top linebackers from last season, Anthony Hitchens. Another, Ben Niemann, is a free agent. The two top linebackers in terms of playing time will be Nick Bolton and Willie Gay. What's the risk: It's minimal with Carter. The Chiefs were looking for some experience at linebacker after losing their two most seasoned players and they found it.

Did KC not sign a free agent LB for that role?

Maybe at 3 but KC wont use that pick for a RB.

KC has 2 guys that can be a #1. Wont get a #1 at this point. Depth fine. I still like more BPA on D. Offense is deep. Those #7s are really now worth much. After all the comp picks its almost round 8.

At this stage I think its BPA.

KC Secondary looking really good and depth

Defense as a priority. Loving it.

Veach may have been fine with any of these guys.

Chiefs selected Western Michigan WR Skyy Moore with the No. 54 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. Moore (5'10/195) declared for the NFL after a stellar three-year career and is the first early declare wide receiver from a non-Power Five conference to be selected in the top three rounds since Davante Adams in 2014. Fittingly, Moore checks all of the boxes analytically. He was highly efficient in his three seasons and capped his college career with a 41% yardage share and a 45% TD share. Moore was not a deep threat in college, but with a 4.41 40, he showed that he can't be ignored downfield. Moore will do most of his damage on the intermediate level and has the versatility to play outside or in the slot. He profiles on the Golden Tate spectrum.

KC picks Raimann if available.

So he traded down only to panic?
