Well yeah, but veach specifically mentioned how good the rb class was, and as far as im concerned we dont have a #1 back at the moment, so i expect him to get the person he is targetting by bundling those 7th rounders

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.

He is a free safety, center fielder, but is interchangeable enough to play Dan's 3rd safety spot.  I love him.  Find some tape and watch him.  He is okay in coverage but fucking punishes receivers and running backs.  

Yeah, chiefs clearly don’t love thornhill, i expect this will be his last year in kc and the chiefs im sure are hoping this kid they drafted will start over thornhill day 1

He might be on the field more than Thornhill next year.

So he’s really good at run support as a db?  Dirty Dan was a very good blitzer, can this kid blitz?  If he’s a thumper, a physical tone setter, sign me up.  This defense needs a mean streak.

This has turned into a good draft.  Never thought we had any shot at McDuffie.  Not high on George Karl, but I can live with it.  Moore wouldn't have been my pick at receiver, but he can play.  And they made my day taking Cook.

We should have essentially 4 starters if you include him as the third safety.  Moore figures to be on the the field a lot out of the slot.  High hopes for this group.

Niemann replacement? We already have Gay

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.

He is bigger version of Mathieu, a little more tight hipped though.  He will be the 3rd safety, which means he will be on the field a lot.

Niemann played 50% of the defensive snaps. Probably more than Gay. High effort guy. Toub loved him. Great student. Probably the hardest guy to replace after Dirty Dan.

A waste of 50% of the snaps that should've gone to Gay. If we're talking his replacement, it should only be for ST

Waste? Waste??? Niemann, aka, The Corn Man of Iowa, was the cog in the wheel that made the defense respectable! The most clutch nickle LB and 3rd down specialist in the NFL!

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-

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
