Mike Rose Coverage backer with size. Has a chance at the 53 if he shows out. Really good COD for his size. No idea if he'll make the roster. Better be good on ST.

Athletic article where nfl execs are giving opinions without using their names. Here's the kc writeup: It’s never difficult to discern what the Chiefs are trying to accomplish. When they wanted to address their offensive line last offseason, they traded for tackle Orlando Brown, signed the most expensive free-agent guard in Joe Thuney and drafted multiple starters. Using seven of 10 draft choices on defense this year, including five for defensive backs, left little doubt of the Chiefs’ direction. “They went all-in for defense a few years ago as well, so that is their pattern, to fix the problem,” an exec said. “One difference in this draft was, they not only got what I think are good players, but they avoided some of the character risks they might have taken in the past. These are all really good football character people.” Though most execs had Stingley and Gardner as the clear top two corners, a few did prefer Trent McDuffie, the corner Kansas City drafted at 21 after trading up eight spots with New England. On our podcast before the draft, Mueller said he had McDuffie as the top corner in the draft based partly on scheme versatility and what he described as an impeccable sense of timing in coverage and when playing the ball. He ranked McDuffie as the 10th-best player in the draft. “I thought Minnesota was going to take McDuffie at 12 before they traded out,” an exec said. “I had him in that 15-20 range, more in the teens, because you are talking about a cornerback who is under 5-11. I do love the player, but the size does affect the value some.” It was interesting to see Kansas City and Green Bay each select two defensive players in the first round after creating major holes at receiver by trading Hill and Adams, respectively. Both teams did draft wide receivers, but they filled the void by signing veterans and using less premium picks. For Kansas City, that meant making Skyy Moore the 13th receiver selected and the final one taken in the first two rounds. “Kansas City is in better position than Green Bay because their quarterback is younger,” an exec said. “It is rare you have a team that has made however many straight AFC Championship games then have extra draft capital in multiple drafts. That is a pretty good position to be in, whereas for Green Bay, you are hoping the guy from North Dakota State (Christian Watson) pans out and that Rodgers stays more than an extra year.”

Someone probably clued him in... yeah ummm, so the last guy with that number...

You can't compare a guy playing nose to guys lining up at 3 tech. They're asked to do different thinks and very few NTs historically got a lot of pressure. System plays a big part as well.

65 TPT Final year before AFL-NFL merger, Chiefs in championship game 3 years prior Chiefs up by 9 when it was run, around 5 mins left in first half 3rd and goal from 5 yard line Final score 23-7 Jet Chip Wasp Chiefs haven't been to a superbowl in roughly 1 million years (rounding up here) Chiefs down 20-10 late in the 3rd 3rd and 15 from the Chiefs own 35 yard line Final score 31-20 Jet Chip Wasp is the more important play in KC history. We probably lose the superbowl without that play.

No need for name calling

Don't blame me, boss bought it

Don't remember him. On an unrelated note, I do have a Bobby Bell jersey with Kendrell Bell's jersey number on it.

BTW Andy and Spags had to get on to Karlaftis during the rookie camp. Evidently he was going 100 miles an hour even during the walkthrough portions and they were afraid he was gonna hurt someone. They had to try and get him to dial it back. Dude was cranked to 11. 😂

That wasn't Kyle Long, that was Greg Long. He's a tackle from Purdue that was a camp invite as a tryout player.

Udfa's sign 3 year contracts and are restricted free agents in year 4. They hit unrestricted free agency in year 5. So pretty much the same as any non 1st round rookie.

I mean, the league is raking in money from network contracts alone. Player salaries don't have that much to do with ticket prices so I'm not sure what their is to complain about, although i see this same sentiment quite a bit from fans. I view players as entertainers. We don't run around saying we should limit how much Mick Jagger can make. The limit should be whatever they can negotiate, whether collectively or individually. It's hard to make it in this league and a small percentage get that huge contract. If they have worked hard enough and maximized their talent, good for them. It's what we all hope to do, on an admittedly smaller scale.

Guess it's time to start putting the lockdown on how much money you can make. Great idea.

Long's middle name is "Won't Be Here"

Uhhhhhhh

Interlude: Heh, he's good at maneuvering the box I'll just leave this here Oh what the hell

We ranked 6th overall even with Kinnard and with Cook not testing. I wouldn't call that low

16

I'd go back and look but I'm not a masochist.

Yeah I'd agree. I think he'll get paid

Who knows. I certainly thought it would take much longer to get Tre Smith up to speed in the passing game, yet here we are.
