Good info. Galko has been solid in years past with info. Some Chiefs info in there about qbs.

I can definitely see the Cardinals interested in Mahomes.

I keep reading these "Peterman to the Chiefs" comments on Twitter. I still haven't had time to watch the Senior Bowl but he's certainly getting a lot of love.

I'm hoping the qbs fall like he thinks.

Seems like an incredible assload of speculation.

True.

Looking back at his previous years stuff, he's gotten alot of good info it seems. It's still early in the process though.

Not trying to threadjack, just came across Daniel Jeremiah's Ask 5 and figured this would be the best thread to post it in.

Ask 5: Which position in 2017 NFL Draft is the deepest?


I reached out to five NFL personnel executives and asked them which position they thought was the deepest in the upcoming draft. Here are their answers.


Executive 1: Tight end

"This is the best group of tight ends I've seen in a long time. There are 7 guys at the position that are going to come in and be major contributors in Year One. I think the safety group is a close second. You are going to see some really good players still on the board in the fourth and fifth rounds."

Executive 2: Safety

"Overall, this is the best group of DBs we've had in several years. Specifically, I love the safety depth. I keep watching one good player after another. The UConn kid (Obi Melifonwu) was a revelation at the Senior Bowl. The safety at Utah (Marcus Williams) is a great player and he isn't even one of the five best safeties in the draft."


Executive 3: Cornerback

"This draft is loaded with corners. There are some elite guys at the top of the draft, but I think there are some excellent value guys in the middle rounds and a bunch of sleepers I really like on Day 3 (Rounds 4-7)."


Executive 4: Cornerback

"I think it's a very deep draft at several positions, but cornerback is the deepest, followed closely by the running back group. I think we could see a major run on cornerbacks in the first three rounds. I think we could see 20 of them go off the board in the top 100 picks."


Executive 5: Cornerback
"I love the corners in this draft. I think every team has them in a different order and I'm fascinated to see how they come off the board."

Summary: That's three votes for cornerback and one apiece for safety and tight end.

Conclusion: I think you can make a case for several positions being the deepest in the upcoming draft, but I believe cornerback belongs at the top of the list. I currently have 10 cornerbacks in my top 50 players and I felt guilty for leaving a handful of other cornerbacks off my list. The running back and tight end groups are also loaded with quality depth. Although I'm not in love with the top-tier talent at the position, I believe there is some depth in the quarterback class as well.
