He might be overrated, but he is 1st/2nd round talent.

I'd love that kid on my team.

Watching the QB's today made me realize how much I'm going to miss Gruden's QB Camp.

Loved it.

My favorite TE.

This is a classic DL type Andy looks at

Reminds me of John Hannah.

I’d take St. Brown but I’m an Irish homer.

That’s why I want Tim Settle. He’d help that.

They’ve gotta get strong and fast in the front 7

I'm with you there, but he probably goes before we pick.

Veach has shown if he likes a player he'll do what's necessary to get him.

Eh. I can't see them aggressively moving up with the depth chart needing major work.

42 reps on the bench for Harrison Phillips.

Forty two. Holy shit

Shaquem Griffin used a prosthetic hand and did 20 reps on the bench press.

Some team is going to get an extremely passionate football player.

My goodness. That is some strength!

Maybe so, but decent guards stall him 1v1 consistently. I watched this kid pretty much every week man. I live here. Watch Penn State. Watch Ohio State. Watch Minnesota. Watch him over Wisconsin's RG. He's going to see that and better in the pros, and he got absolutely dominated. He's got some quickness off the snap (albeit half of that is lining up off-sides 90% of the time), but either way he's got a good burst and he has a good recovery burst. Other than that, he has a long ways to go in the strength department. Unless he gets into a 1-gap 4-3 scheme, I think he's going to be a colossal bust or at best take 3 years to develop. Even in a 1-gap scheme, I think teams are going to see hurdles for him to overcome. He just can't anchor. A team might be better off seeing if he can play LDE in an even front. I never had him in round 1 and certainly wouldn't consider it now.

**** Official 2018 NFL Draft Combine Thread ****
 

Chiefs have formally interviewed these players at the combine per Terez.

Linemen who have confirmed formal interviews with the Chiefs include: defensive end Jalyn Holmes of Ohio State, defensive end Duke Ejiofor of Wake Forest, defensive tackle Nathan Shepherd of Fort Hays State and defensive end Davin Bellamy of Georgia.

Linebackers who have confirmed formal interviews with the Chiefs include: inside linebacker Chris Covington of Indiana, outside linebacker Jeff Holland of Auburn and inside linebacker Dorian O’Daniel of Clemson.

In addition, outside linebacker James Hearns of Louisville and inside linebacker Joel Iyiegbuniwe of Western Kentucky each said they believed they would meet with the Chiefs formally this weekend.

The starting lineup does too, Chris Jones is the only DL that's a true 1st stringer and he possesses elite potential.

Doesn't really give any indication as to what the Chiefs want, but I'm starting to hope they plug LB via FA and look at the D Line and secondary with their top picks.

I still somehow hope they turn that 2019 second into a 2018 second.

Man Shaq Griffin is such a beast and inspiration.

Today’s the DL/LB’s.

Chiefs will take one of these guys guaranteed.

He will be on full display today.

Chubb with a 4.66 40 time.

Davenport with a 4.61

So far, Tim Settle’s combine is looking nothing like Poe’s

Could be good for us if we want to take him in the 2nd/3rd

Absolutely.

I have a massive boner for Nathan Shepherd

6’5”
315 lbs
5.10 40
1.77 10

Gauranteed Andy has a chub over this kid too

Is that the dude from fort hayes state?

Griffin is an inspiration man but missing a hand....I dunno

What’s he gonna play?

Yea Shepherd is a beast. I’d definitely consider him at 54.

Kick holder

I was looking for highlights on Shepherd after someone mentioned he was interviewed by the chiefs, but couldn't find any.

He’s probably going to go early 2nd rd. I’d trade up for him

Nice

I’m not sure about trading up though

I wanna keep as many of those mid rounders as possible and see what happens

Is Taven Bryan gonna go really early? He’s legit

And I think I like Payne the best of the dl

I’m not so sure of that, but if he does somebody else will fall.

NFL draft tracker has him as a project estimated to go in rounds 4-5

The pass rusher from KU might be a good pick in the 2nd for us

He’s not going that low, but I also don’t think there’s any way you can say he has no shot at being there at 54. It’s more likely that he is than he isn’t.

Josh Sweats is very intriguing to me

Vita Vea
Taven Bryan
Da’Ron Payne
Harrison Phillips

I think those guys go ahead of him. Am I missing anyone?

Maurice Hurst if he checks out alright and Settle would probably be higher on most boards.

Trenton Thompson is a possibility too.

Forgot about Thompson. Settle really hurt his value today.

This is turning out to be a great class for our needs. OL, DT, CB and S is really deep.

Seen Senat and NNadi ranked higher than Shepherd too on some pundits boards.

Good because I really couldn’t care less how he did today. I’ve seen enough on tape to say we should run to the podium if he makes it to 54.

But you’re right, I’m very comfortable with what will be available at those positions on day 2.

What did he actually do today to hurt his stock? Can't find any of his results

he's so good - I wish we could get him. :(

This. Bad combine is some good news for us.

I remember seeing him play - he's a kid, possessed - Yes indeed some team WILL. I love his heart!

This is such a good class. ILB and WR are the only positions that I see that are weak this year.

It’s a great year to have mid round picks and I think Veach is going to try to trade guys like Steven Nelson to get additional picks.

I would seriously consider trading our 2019 2nd rd pick from LA for an early 3rd this year if a guy that we love falls down the board. There is legitimate talent that will be there. Travis Kelce/Kareem Hunt/Justin Houston type of quality.

Why trade Nelson though only to have to replace him?

It doesn’t make sense

Yea, I don’t think Nelson is going anywhere, but I’d be interested in trading that 2019 2nd from the Rams depending on who’s available at the top of the 3rd.

He isn’t an outside corner. His best attribute is playing the slot.

Kendall Fuller makes him expendable

He can play outside though. And if they plan on fuller being an outside guy I’d imagine they’ll wanna keep Nelson around

Trading him makes no sense from a numbers perspective. You’d have 2 corners currently that can even play

I don’t know where the elevated draft projections for Shepherd are coming from. He played inferior competition. When I watch his tape I see an “active” player, but not a dominant one. His 4th/5th round projections are appropriate.

If the Chiefs want an impact DL player from this draft, the wheelhouse might be the late 1st to mid 2nd round.

Chubb, Vea, Payne and Bryan will likely be out of range.

Guys I think will be in range at 54?
Phillips, Green, Settle, Nnadi, Hurst (injury drop)

Bryan and Green are my two favourites. I think Settle is dropping because of his testing.

I don’t have much trust in the guy playing outside full time. We know Veach has tried to trade him, so it seems like he’s viewed as expendable.

Corner was by far our worst position group last year. I think a complete overhaul is about to take place including a FA signing and high draft pick.

Matt Patricia seems nice.

Lorenzo Carter w/ the 4.46 40 = super legit!

Lions will go 6-10.

I wonder if Key has substance abuse issues...

http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/c...ce-explanation

I would imagine they plan on fuller playing outside full time though

If they wanna burn the corner group down and start over that’s cool, but it’s gonna be tough with what thyou I’ve got pick wise

Lorenzo carter maybe a good fit in round 2

Griffin just ran an unofficial 4.38.

Griffin gonna get picked. What position does he play in the nfl?

To start? STs. But I could see him playing OLB in a 4-3.

BJ Hill ran a 4.99 40

This DL class is damn good

I think he could play the nickel lb safety role and rush the passer

Tremaine Edmunds ran fast

Josey Jewell ran a pedestrian 40 time, but I like his game. Tremendous instincts, a solid tackler in the run game, a competent blitzer when asked and decent in short zone coverage. If testing causes him to drop to late 3rd/4th, I’d hope the Chiefs consider him.

Harold Landry is annoying -

4.38 became official. Fastest 40 for a LB since they’ve been tracking it.

He's high on my list. I think the Chiefs are set at edge for years with him and Houston.

This is a good WR draft because of the depth. Just sucks at the top.

Someone made the Hassan red Dick and griffin comp on Twitter

Obviously the hand issue but what’s really different?

Would you a spend a 4 on griffin

Absolutely. Look at his numbers. I don't think it matters one damn bit that he doesn't have a hand. He's still a very good tackler and has 18.5 sacks in the past two seasons.

He's gonna be a player.

https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb...griffin-1.html

Yeah I think he’d be perfect in the nickel linebacker / safety role and can come down and rush the passer

I’d do it
