Nice

I couldn't spell the name LMAO

Hope he beasts

Definitely getting a jersey.

His real name must be John snow, because I know nothing about...John snow

Who the **** is that? I've never heard one pundit say his name.

He is a STUD...

So he's supposed to have a high ceiling, but is really raw... hmm.

And is he an DE? Edge? So many questions.

ESPN loves the pick, for what it's worth.

ROFL

Help me out here, should we be happy or ticked off?

I'm shocked they left Kamara on the board.

BlackBob was pimping him early this year if I remember right.

His Indian name is

Tonto Notgonnapassno-mo.

Jordan Willis is better.

Cautiously optimistic with this one.

VERY happy.

Not sure what to think.

Yep. Same here.

Does anyone know if he was announced as a DE or OLB? Either way, seems like he is pass rush help which I love.

Never heard of him. I like upside though. But wormley and Kamara both available?

Seems like a reach. Also kind of expected a not-project player.

I like.

He's playing DE trust me

Yeah never heard of the dude but I'm pretty sure he used to hang out with the Long Ranger. I hope he works out when the dust settles.

Why? He's probably not a 3 down back.

I would of liked a more instant player, but Dorsey did fine here.

Will his last name fit on the back of his jersey.

Monster size. Could be a beast!

I guess this draft is just a ignore 2017 and get guys that won't be ready until 2019.


I guess we are already a super bowl level team.

Good luck with this one Mitch holthus

Damn this dude is having a meltdown.

Dude is huge. Should be able to put on more weight...

Who dat?

Still want Wormly, but in Dorsey I trust!

Chiefs definitely need DL. Bailey is ass.

Are we happy? Sad?

I have absolutely no idea how to feel....sooooo, go Dorsey!

I'm still pretty shocked about last night, so... :toast:

You're the worst.

Lol was gonna ask how drunk you were then saw the edit

I watched the vids in the OP. I was underwhelmed. Looked and sounded like high school football. Obviously I don't know shit but this pick makes me say yuck.

Tarzan/Jane

( sorry, but no need to suck off EVERY draft choice just cuz )

NOT trolling, Jason... we should all be allowed to offer a harsh opinion on such things once or twice.

Just like with Pat, I hope to laugh at myself in a year or three over this... that the MFers are great.

Terez Paylor's pre-draft evaluation:


DE TANOH KPASSAGNON, Villanova: Kpassagnon is a huge dude (6-7, 289) who has the look of a five-technique in 3-4. I was impressed by his athleticism and length. He explodes off the snap, he plays hard and was a team captain. I’m in.

Grade: 6.7

Holy shit this guy's take off looks like Dee Ford's and he's 290 ****ing pounds

Wow

Alot of scouts liked him. Never got hyped by the media.

Lots of great players came from small schools (Terrell Owens, Jerry Rice)

NFL COMPARISON Margus Hunt


LMAO pretty bad when you have to even look up the NFL comparison

No, his Indian name is Bob,

I'm just the worst.

I can't believe i don't like every draft pick.


Just ****


I suck

Never heard of him. But Mayock loves him

Fits right in with Dorsey 's draft tendency. Get the freakish athletic talent you can't teach and trust in Reid's staff to coach them up whether it's character concerns (Hill, Kelce, Peters....) or molding raw talent that needs polishing (Mahomes, Jones, Ford, Fisher...).

that guy is white though.

Don't know if I'm missing something but, doesn't look all that spectacular. Looks like management thinks we don't need any immediate help. I would have expected someone who would not be a project.

We lost Howard and just drafted a prospect who is extremely similar to Chris Jones in athleticism and strength.

I see him playing a lot in the nickel.

You're crazy dude.

ROFL worth pick, just for that.

:deevee:

I agree. What I meant was his play was underwhelming. What's he do against SEC talent? Like I said, I don't know shit. I hope he pans out. Seems like a reach to me.

Maybe he's going to take over for Hali?

Terez Paylor loves him

He looks like JPP physically to me.

I'm sure we all thought Chris Jones was going to play a ton as a rookie as a 2nd round pick too.

We're gonna love this guy.

+1

Forgive my stupid question...what's a 5-technique in a 3-4? DE or OLB?

That's exactly why they drafted him.

DE in a 3-4

Left DE is on the edge
Right DE is inside the ROLB(Hali)

:thumb:

If he's that big but still has a quick first step, could work.


Rush the passer but still set the edge.

Just don't ever be reeruned and try to have him in coverage then.

Actually pretty drunk also. But not to the point I can't see my spelling mistakes... but I'm close, so be prepared!

Not a stupid question at all. Glad you have the stones to ask. It can spark legit football discussion. Keep em coming :thumb:

Well, he's large !

He is a slinder 286, isn't he?

As I said before Dorsey usually goes for the athletic boom or bust types

His name pronounced is:

TAWN-O PASS-N-YO

One of the vids shows him against South Dakota State, which at the time, was #8 in the country.

One thing I noticed in both vids is that he's pretty consistently double-teamed and he moves more like a LB than a DE.

So he would play Hali's position?

Dorsey does this to us every year. We say, "Who!?" and the dude turns heads when the ball snaps.

In my amateur opinion? Yes.

He looks lean for his weight, which lends itself to shedding blockers and pursuing the QB. He doesn't look like a guy I'd trust clogging rush lanes.

Yep. He's always impressed me with his front-seven picks. The only pick I was underwhelmed with was Dee Ford, and by no means has he been bad. I expect him to have similar results to Chris Jones.

290 lbs

has to be a DE

Well ok then. Put Hali in the ring and let's do this.
