Balto 723 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Breeland Speaks*, DE, Ole Miss Height: 6-3. Weight: 283. Arm: 33.75. 40 Time: 4.87. Projected Round (2018): 2-4. 4/25/18: Speaks is strong at the point of attack and also has some speed with athleticism. He illustrated those attributes at the NFL Scouting Combine. Speaks is sleeper who could be one of the nice value picks from the 2018 NFL Draft. He could play end or grow into a defensive tackle in the NFL. Speaks finished the 2017 season in impressive fashion with a strong performance against Mississippi State. All night, Speaks was in the backfield, putting heat on the quarterback and playing the run well. Speaks recorded 67 tackles with eight tackles for a loss, seven sacks, one forced fumble and one pass batted in 2017. He could get second-day consideration in the 2018 NFL Draft as a base end for a 4-3 defense. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/breeland-speaks?id=32462018-0002-5600-13af-b3aba25676ae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHard 2,061 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 What’s the consensus? Think traded up for the Iowa CB and the pack got him. Or do you think this was their guy? What do guys think of this guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mloe68 1,521 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 High Sparq score which shows Veach is sticking with the highly athletic formula Dorsey used. Moved to Defensive Emd the last six games and responded with six sacks in those games. Last game of college career he had 12 tackles, 1 sack and 1 forced fumbles in the Egg Bowl. He also got thrown out of the game for fighting. Seems like Baileys replacement who will get instant time as a pass rusher in sub packages.

What do guys think of this guy? I think it’s clear Speaks was our guy. Or else we had both of them rated clearly higher than anyone else. That’s possible too. Question is does this mean Tanoh is an OLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquidfriend 1,151 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Well I just realized that I fucked his name up in my final mock. I like the pick, but felt they could have gor him one full round later. Don't understand the pants on fire desire to ve aggressive to get him. I don't anticipate much time will be spent at OLB.

ChiefsFoolFan 149 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 What did we trade to move up? I’m not sure I am cool with the pick..... the guy seems like a project & not someone who will contribute immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soonerborn77 276 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Give me Hurst now, take a risk on him since we already have another DL guy. You can never have to many DL guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swapped seconds and third but back like 20 spots in the 3rd but I believe we still have both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CranjisMcbasketball 780 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Im not sure we aren’t going to a 4-3 defense guys. The tano pick last year and this one don’t add up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we sent the WAS pick to CIN for the last pick in the 3rd round (100). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iluvhouse24 1,808 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 So our second round picks the last 2 years are now both converted d lineman who are backup OLBs. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiefsFoolFan 149 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 you unhappy? shocking. lol Don’t you think we should have gone after a guy who’s going to start if we move up like that? I like the sarcasm though :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dksww 484 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Emory Hunt @FBallGameplan 37m37 minutes ago I graded Breeland Speaks as a 5T/4i (he was #1), he's so versatile and gives the #Chiefs a ton of options on that side of the ball. #NFLDraft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidfriend 1,151 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 100% Veach choice. Also was responsible for Fletcher Cox. What it tells me with Jones losing weight, this pick and Tanoh is the Chiefs plan to be a high scoring squad. Lots of one dimensional opposing Offenses.

Mloe68 1,521 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Can he play day 1? 46th pick better be plug and play damn it Many of these second rounders won’t be starting day one. I’m sure Speaks will get plenty of PT in sub package pass rushing situations initially. There’s a huge need and a ton of value with another pass rusher.

I like the sarcasm though :-) i don't see why starting really matters? If he can play multiple positions and give us a threat of pass rush on the DL sign me up, this team needs all the pressure it can get. It looks like he can move around the defense so it'll be interesting to see how KC uses him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHard 2,061 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 If he is a guy that can rush and stop the run, I am in. Really think we may get have been after that CB. Just my gut feeling. Otherwise we could have stayed and still got him. Probably surprised by the Packs pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
