I love it when it’s been reported a team completely removes a player from their “board” due to an injury concern. Yeah sure, you won’t take a flyer in the 5th-7th round on a first round talent.

Never believe anything that comes out this close to the draft created for public consumption.

Rickey. LMAO

What the **** is a Rickey?

lol

Someone else get in here and explain Rickey

Ricky Tikki Tavi

draft season=lie central.

can't wait!!

Based on how accurate and early Ricky has been reporting FA signings and new contracts I think he's connected somehow. However, when it comes to the draft, he is just projecting based on rumors. Albeit the source of his rumors may be reliable there is no way he can be certain that a team will pick a certain player. I have no doubt KC is going to try like hell to get a LT at 32 but if there's a run on tackles, we would be crazy to force the pick if all that's left is trash.

Rickey now has intel on 32 team's draft boards and the player's they most covet. Got it.

Ricky Spanish!!

Oh... Ricky
He's so fine
He's so fine
He blows your mind

And by the way, even Brett Veach doesn't know for certain who he will pick Thursday. He certainly knows his preferences and has a first choice in mind for a variety of scenarios, but no one knows how the board will fall.

I agree with Chiefs want a LT in RD 1 and DAL wants RB Brooks in R2, but everyone knows that already.

Why would Mitchel be coming off teams boards? ...that statement requires explanation.

Any thoughts on Roger Rosengarten? Matt Derrick was on the radio this morning and mentioned that he thinks RR could be in play at 32 or with a trade down in the second. He said that he likes him better than Kingsley. Seems like it would be a reach to me but I don’t know much about him.

It's for sure OT in my mind.

Give me a lt prospect in round 1 and Ricky pearsall and I’ll blow my load.

I've made my final decision and I agree. It has to be OT. This team is a dynasty that runs on Patrick Mahomes. As much as I've wanted to believe that Patrick could compensate for some OL problems, we just can't afford to risk the one unquestionable thing that makes the Chiefs great. We have to draft OT first. This seems like such a no-brainer that I don't understand why I didn't see it this way before. OT first and let the rest of the chips fall where they may.

I always thought he was a giant asshole for never letting Lucy be in the show.

So she can't sing? Just give her a bit part or something and make her shut up, man. She's your ****ing wife. It's not like anybody's going to get mad at you.

If he knows it's a LT, it's because they know they're going up to get their guy.

I think there's a pretty good chance Rickey is a guy in the league office.

And have no earthly idea at all how that would give him insight into anything these teams have going on within their draft boards.

If it were that easy, NOLA and Houston wouldn't have been caught with their dicks in their hands in 2017 and the Buffalo Bills wouldn't be dealing with the waste of space that is Kaiir Elam.

Not buying it. This kind of wholesale knowledge ain't out there for some dude to get. Now he may be right that the Chiefs are going after an OT - but I'm not convinced he has any more knowledge than any of the rest of us do in that regard. It's an obvious need and we have an aggressive GM.

The rest is just jerking himself off.

Precisely. Anyone with a pulse on the Chiefs knows we need a LT. It's not some big secret being kept. We all fully expect that Veach will address that before WR if the opportunity is there to actually get a LT he likes.

If an elite LT prospect isn't there but there is the opportunity to get an elite playmaker, I don't foresee Veach passing only to stay put and draft a guy like Suamataia. I just don't think Veach is wired that way.

There’s no way we’d be bold enough to go get John Alt’s son at #7, right? Clark giving Veach the green light for nostalgia reasons?

That cost would be so, so much.

I kind of think he's in an agents office. One of the big agents who has players on every team that would be plugged in.

Veach himself could only be 60% confident in landing a tackle. Rickey has been batting .800 throughout free agency. But the draft is a different ball game. Especially when the team is slated at 32.

I do think it’s more likely we end up with a tackle over a receiver. But nobody knows shit. See Will Levis or the million other examples

Why? Seems like Paul will be there at the #32 and I'd argue he's worth the pick ahead of the 2nd. Also Guyton, Kiran, and Kingsley are probably available around #32... a top half of the 2nd OT is less likely to bust than a WR.

I know people who do ratings off of analytics hate Mitchell, but that shouldn't remove him from boards.

I would have slapped myself a week and a half ago but I'm coming around on Paul.

Patrick Paul is still a developmental pick, odds are he's not ready right away.

Guyton is the only one of those that is even worth discussing at 32 and even I think that's a stretch...

Who's going to be ready at 32? The left tackle we took at 1.1 11 years ago was a project. You can only get what the draft gives.

Dude - if that ever got out and that agent had a leak that public, the entire agency would get fired into the ****ing sun.

And if that were even a consideration, you have to believe that every major agency in the industry is slapping key-loggers on their guys and throwing IT at it to see if they can smoke him out.

Because if you have an agency doing stuff like that it would be a MAJOR problem. Hell, there are probably real ethical problems and genuine malpractice exposure the agency would be subject to.

LT makes the most sense.

The Chiefs make major, major investments at tackle. They are obsessed with ensuring Mahomes is protected.

I mean anywhere that they find out its coming out like that is going to be ground zero when it gets out. Unless its the NFL office and they can cover it up. Could be a Vegas person? Someone connected setting Vegas odds and greasing palms?

Definitely true, but it can also work in our favor. We can't take a player that has already been chosen, but teams are only allowed to take one player with each pick. It becomes very difficult to block a team like the Chiefs from getting a good player because teams can't coordinate when they're all choosing the best option for their own team. That's how players sometimes fall in the draft to a team that is more than happy to scoop them up.

Agree with all of that. Just saying you cant be mad because who we get is a project. We just won the ****ing super bowl. Every draft is different and you can only take who's available. It is a crapshoot as much as we don't want it to be. Last year the first round really worked out kind of worst case. Three years from now he may be an all pro and it looks smart as shit. No one knows but we all get dead set on our own guys.

Which is why I think it's the League Office.

If it were anywhere else, they'd have burned the forest down looking for him by now. League office? Pft - publicity is publicity. Interest is interest. I don't think they'd care all that much.

That is fair. Didn't he get shut down once then come back on a fresh account? Maybe he pulled the plug for fear then they said hell nah Rickey we want the clicks.

I mentioned it yesterday in the Lounge, but I'm definitely skeptical of his draft predictions, because it's a different animal than free agency.

No ****ing way to predict a draft. A thousand other guys are trying with varying levels of insight. No one hits shit after about 10.

Moving up for a project LT would annoy me.

Sounds like anything after 13-16 will be a 2nd round player going in the first. I just hope we don't sell our souls unless its Alt or one of the big 3 WR's. If we cough up a 2nd or something to jump 10 spots for BTJ or one of the top LT's that may have slipped, I'm game.

But I'm with you - I don't want a project either.

I could live with it, but only if it's after the first round.

get baited lol

Oh cool Mahomes magics mult made it over right after him.

It will be interesting to see how the LTs fall off the board from here. There is some decent talent available and we should see a few go in the second round. The Commanders, Raiders, and Ravens might all go for OT before it gets to us at #64. Maybe the Patriots too, but I think they're more likely to go WR.

The same guys I got called an idiot for posting MLFootball are the same ones who think Rickey had inside info ROFL

For the draft? No, he clearly didn't, but that's a different animal.

In free agency? He absolutely had inside info and it's not even debatable.

I think he works for the league.

I have no opinion on this dude but suggesting he whiffed here is dumb. Veach literally made it obvious their 1st option was trading up for a LT. They probably thought they'd get it done, but it didn't work out that way when 2 OTs went top 7, 3 in the top 11.

I know it's after the fact now, but even if we gave up two first rounders to get Alt, so what?

We pick between 30-32 almost every year. Those are not first round draft picks. Those are Round 1.5 draft picks at best, AT BEST.

In fact, we don't even care if those picks are productive, as I site the **** nothing that FAU did this year.

So, why would we care about drafting day 2 guys on day one? Alt, or MHJ, will absolutely, ABSOLUTELY will absolutely be better than the 32nd pick this year and anyone between 30th -32nd next year.

MHJ will be better than Worthy plus whoever we draft in the first next year.

Or the next 3 years for that matter.

Players win on the field. When we are down 10 points in SB 59, the players will win the game, not the future draft capital of 2025, 2026, or 2027.

Because best 52+Mahomes wins Super Bowls. Every year now, we'll be losing good players that we can't afford to pay. Every draft, we need to be stacking good football players. They don't have to be elite, just good. And we need multiple guys every year.

Hey Rickey

It would be great if we could get some rumours or inside information on what we offered to trade up. I’m sure Veach tried. But there’s no way we would’ve gotten Alt for two of our number one draft picks. Apparently New England turned down three number one draft picks from Minnesota. And like you say our number one draft picks are pretty much number two draft picks so I’m not even sure three of our number one draft picks would’ve Gor Alt. And I would not be willing to pay that much.

And while the jury is still out on FAU, not all of our number one draft picks have been that questionable.

Damn, three 1's were turned down? New England must really believe in Maye, because that is franchise changing stuff they said no to.

He was....wrong

No way they passed on 3 ones.
