Speed is highly overrated if you can't run good routes or have good hands. How often does the fastest WR in the draft end up being the best. No data but I'll bet its very rare.
Teams are floating around Jeudy has "lingering knee issues" from surgery two years ago. The misinformation is in full force. I'd take Cee Dee Lamb and be good. But reality is this draft is so deep at WR I'd bet a 3rd round pick could just as easily end up having the best career.
It’s one of the deepest WR drafts ever and we’ve got two pending free agents next year. I’d suggest our interest in another WR would really be peaked later on day two.
It’s going to be tough for any draft pick to start for us in year one so a swing tackle who can at least compete for a guard job initially seems very plausible. Definitely more so than trading up for Ruggs.
Deep WR draft, we need more picks not less, we already have two good young WRs locked up for two more years and since when did we start broadcasting players we are targeting. It’s absurd.
Pretty interesting as it’s a way for players to get their offseason workout bonuses. If teams choose they can send up to $1500 of exercise equipment to each player to use. This lasts through June 15th however there’s some faint (lol) hope they can get on the field in mid May. Expect Andy Reid to use it as an opportunity to expand the playbook even more.

I’d go if it’s open to the public. I think it’s very possible I came back from Miami with the virus. Well worth it as miserable as I was for a week.
But I’m very skeptical without a major medical breakthrough we will have fans at games until around the 2021 season. The way the virus exploded in two European cities from one soccer game in Italy was flat scary.
It will indeed kind of take a perfect storm scenario to get back to 5,000 and 50. But I do think it’s conceivable he will get it done again. But either way i think he was clearly a better QB in 2019 with a lot less production. So production alone shouldn’t be the barometer of how each season is measured against each other. He didn’t peak in year one no matter what the historic numbers say. Not even close.
Asking any rookie to be a quick contributor outside of special teams with no offseason is asking for trouble. I would think our early draft picks would have a small defined role that simplifies the learning curve.
The Chiefs were 9-0 without Ogbah by the way and clearly played their best defense of the season without him. Okafor was the starter anyway and will remain that way with Tanoh and Speaks as rotational guys. We are in good shape there.
It’s not like he’s perfect. Hitchens signing and then extending is a head scratcher. But he’s aggressive when he needs to be and has shown this year he can also be patient. Even through mistakes his overall approach just seems poised to translate into multiple legit title shots over the next 5-7 years.
Opposing opinions are one thing about any player move. But he became obsessed with criticizing anything Veach did while lauding Dorsey as the savior of the franchise. I’ll admit when Clark fired him I was upset. But on point with the original post time has really exposed why. Something tells me DaBlue is still on some Chiefs board somewhere spinning Dorsey into the HOF of GMs
The pick was traded for Frank Clark. It was Veach at his best as far as I’m concerned. A step ahead of the game accumulating resources to go get the player he wants. Frank Clark had 13 sacks in 15 games last year playing through injury and illness including 5 in the playoffs.
His clutch sacks were literally the anti thesis of the choke job Dee Ford brought. And unfortunately Dees inconsistency and inability to stay healthy really hurt his trade value.
26 and 70 this year are almost exactly equivalent to the 17th pick. No question our defense would take a step back next year by doing this which hurts our repeat chances. But this is about the tipping point it’s worth it. Again very close to Frank Clark value. I’d prefer to keep Jones but could live with this. And mostly I trust Veach.
