Well my options there were Irv Smith, Harry, Butler, or Brown(squared).

Irv Smith's out at that point, I think. And the other 4...well, I only had one pick and I think I'm inclined to just double down on the organizational capital we have already plowed into Hill and Watkins rather than simply look to layer them already.

That could be a bad decision. We shall see.

Somebody should just pick for the Raiders.

Not to sound like a dick, but if you know you have a pick coming up very soon after you just made one, it shouldn’t take this long. If you’re going to be away for a while just send somebody your top 3-5.

Veach is so trading up. I just hope he doesn’t use a 2020 1st to do it.

Kansas City Chiefs

Round 1 Pick: No. 29

The Kansas City Chiefs are slotted near the end of the draft's first night, but general manager Brett Veach is one of the league's most aggressive movers. Primed with pick Nos. 61 and 63 in the second round, plus an extra second-rounder in 2020, they're in great shape to move up for a premier pass-rusher.

How large a jump would be necessary to land someone like Brian Burns?

When the team moved up to get Patrick Mahomes II in 2017, it sent a third-round pick and future first-rounder to elevate from No. 27 to No. 10. Could Veach package No. 29, No. 93 and next year's first to get into a similar spot for a top-tier pass-rusher?

With four picks in the top 100 and the extra 2020 second-rounder, Kansas City has the ammo to do so.

Use our first? **** no. But I wouldn't be against using a 2nd this year and a 2nd next year if it's someone elite.

Watch this ****er trade up for Devin White.

You can't keep trading away first round picks. Especially when the team is about to get really expensive.

DJ's left nut 03-20-2019 10:00 AM

You don't give up two 1st and a 3rd for anyone that isn't a QB, IMO.

Not unless you're getting a truly blue-chip guy. If that could get you into that Allen/Williams/Bosa range then sure, consider it. But not for Burns. I like Burns a lot and think he's the top of the next tier of pass-rushers, but I'm not paying that much for him.

That's a ****ing TON.

I just don't think that would be possible.

Someone is taking him in the top 5 I'd bet. At worst, he gets to, what, 7?

That's so damn far to go. It would cost probably all 6 of your next 1st and 2nd rounders to get there.

He won’t. That’s why he got a future 2nd. He’s got the ammo, although I’d love to stay at 29 and just pick players the next two years with the 1, 2, 2, 3. Add serious impact talent the next two years and cost controlled talent at that.

I'm not real sure where that narrative came from apart from the same folks that said "Hey, Jah Reid was pretty decent when he filled in for Fisher!" because he didn't trip over his feet every snap.

He wasn't even an average starting center. He proved himself quality depth and I guess a viable emergency starter if you just cannot do better, but that's a guy who you're looking to replace every single off-season if you're starting him.

I'd rather teach Wylie to snap than run for another season with Reiter. I wasn't terribly impressed by him at all.

2nd round picks are rarely 'serious impact talent'.

Especially not in their first year.

I'd gladly part with one of the 2nds to get the right guy in the 1st.

I get that you're gonna have to go cheap somewhere on this team and get production out of and maybe the interior OL is a place for that.

I think the value, especially in this draft, is to use all four of our draft picks in rounds 1-3. We need the depth and the influx of youth. And I don't think there is anyone in the bottom half of the first round that is a "must get."

It's not where i'd do it, but that's just me.

I'd be willing to cut some corners at G, but C has too many assignment responsibilities and can be ganged up on way too easily. I think it's far easier to help out a G and a DL has to overshift/give away it's plan to really pick on one. Meanwhile you can attack a C from a pretty conventional formation and unless your G (on both sides) are smart as hell, it's pretty tough for them to help out.

Yeah, it may not be a bad idea to save some draft/cap capital on the interior OL, but C isn't where I'd choose to do it.

Yep, no hesitation there at all. Erving can easily be replaced by Wylie and I don't think McKenzie is far off at all. They wouldn't take a chance sending him to the PS so they see something there.

I don't think that gets the Vikings attention though. They're giving up the better player and the better pick in that exchange and getting only a 5th plus the immediate equivalent of a 4th (a likely late one at that). That's a pretty poor return.

Exactly.

If the back half of the 1st is effectively a 2nd round caliber player, the 'best' use of the pick is to either trade back and get some piddly ass 4th round return for your efforts (and sacrifice the 5th year option) or trade up into true 1st round caliber player range.

I'd absolutely do the latter.

It's probably gonna take your first from next year to get up that high. You wiling to do that?

Sorry for the delay, I somehow missed the PM that was sent.

The Oakland Raiders select Jachai Polite, EDGE, Florida.

So with the Raiders three first round picks, they get:

1.4 Quinnen Williams, DT, Alabama
1.24 Byron Murphy, CB, Washington
1.27 Jachai Polite, EDGE, Florida

It doesn't fix the defense but sure helps.

No it won't.

A 1 and one of our 2s should absolutely get you into the late teens.

I think that's right where the 1st round caliber talent drops. Now obviously you gotta find a willing partner via someone that either A) disagrees with you or B) values quantity over quality (as quantity has a quality of its own).

But I don't see a way to stack that board where there's simply not a real blue chip kinda guy sitting there in the late teens. It may not be a blue chip 'generational star' kind of player, but that's not a '1st round player', that's a top 5 player.

1st round just means a guy that's capable of starting immediately with the ceiling of an occasional pro-bowler in his best seasons, IMO. By that calculus Bradbury qualified as my last real 1st round caliber player left and that's why I took him.

But if you want that caliber player at a more premium position, I think you can still get that in the late teens, especially if the WRs go a little earlier than they've gone in this draft.

It cost the Saints a 1 to go from 27 to 14. Don't think it would take next years Chiefs first to go from 29 to say, 17?

Our 2nds are both basically 3rds, i'm not sure.

The cost of each slot goes up drastically in the teens. Getting the 14 instead of say the 18 is MUCH more expensive than going from 27 to 29. That't the 'draft chart' equivalent of an extra 3rd round worth of value. Beyond that, next year's 1st has the theoretical value of this year's 2nd to begin with. Ours being a later second would be offset by the fact that we're getting a '3rd round pick' less in value returned even after accounting for the drop from 27 to 29.

It's 6 in one hand, half dozen in the other in terms of what the acquiring team gets. But if the acquiring team is looking for immediate depth, they're better served with the immediate 2nd.

And if they insist on next year's 1st I just keep calling the next guy until a deal comes together.

Expound.

Who's your guy then? And why is Bradbury + 2nd round WR obviously inferior to Brown + 2nd round C?

In the 2nd round you're probably looking at someone like Kelvin Harmon, Deebo Samuel, Emanuel Hall, Riley Ridley or maybe Parris Campbell (though I think his 40 keeps him out of there). I think Isabella is long gone by then, as are the aforementioned 4. At C I think you're looking at MAYBE Elgton Jenkins but more realistically Connor McGovern.

So why is, say, AJ Brown and Connor McGovern a clearly better duo than say Garrett Bradbury and Deebo Samuel?

I don't think it's readily apparent that it is? And if it isn't, shouldn't the larger amount of draft capital go to the position that's presently in worse shape?

I haven’t gotten to OL yet in this draft. I just don’t want a first round center with so many holes on defense. You can get by with 2-5 round OL.

I’m just not a fan of first round OL in general. That’s the root of it for me.

Because it’ll have more of an impact especially if Hill is cut and Watkins goes down which is inevitable. So it does make sense given they have a competent center to begin with.

Okay fine, but that's exclusive of your 'holes on the defense' point and again circles back to my first one - that I don't think you're clearly better off reversing the order to WR/C from C/WR. And I think you're more likely to find immediately playable talent at WR in the 2nd than you are at C in this particular draft.

But admittedly, that's all a wild-ass guess. Nobody expected JuJu to be a stud immediately, nor did they expect pro-bowl caliber play from Morse as a rookie.

I simply don't think you can dogmatically say "don't take a C in the 1st round" and that appears to be what you're doing, regardless of the talent of said C.

Admittedly, I don’t know the gap between Bradbury and the next center. This team has been pretty good at developing OL that aren’t first round picks. So I don’t want a first round OL. Would even much rather have Deionte Thompson roaming CF. I’m not sure how far he’ll fall into round 2. He’s a good rangey CF safety. Or you could go Taylor Rapp even to pair with honey badger. I just got home from work. I’ll go over the first round and see what’s left and where I’d have Bradbury. I’m not saying you’re wrong at all FYI. It’s just my preference.

And there are a couple other guys I considered who I may discuss if/when they get taken. But ultimately they ended up in the same tier of pretty solid mid-second round prospects who probably aren't quite to the level of genuinely excellent possible players. They're guys I don't expect to have a shot at in the 2nd and would've taken in the 1st if I had to (would've tiered by need at that point), but they aren't truly standout on their own.

Bradbury is the best C prospect in this draft. And he's a guy that can develop an excellent rapport with our franchise QB for the next 5 years. He's a potential 1st year Pro Bowl player and there's nothing sexy about the pick, but it makes some sense given the depth at other critical positions.

C is getting damn expensive in FA now so the positional value is starting to come into play a little bit. And with more teams looking to push the middle of the pocket than ever, not to mention the necessity of the quick passing game, keeping guys from blowing up the center of your line is more critical than ever.

I would've literally hung my head and shuffled my feet as I made this pick. I don't like anything about doing it. But from a purely utilitarian standpoint, it is the pick to make.

I apologize to Chiefs nation and will go pour my bowl of anti-freeze now.

This is probably the strongest possible argument you could make for Bradbury.

STILL, I wouldn't touch him. He's a superb player but we have next to zero passrushing talent, we could use another linebacker, and we could use another corner or two. To say nothing of the fact that we need more receiving talent for when Sammy Watkins inevitably gets cut in 2020.

I think I would have been more upset if you had taken a QB. But not by much. This is a pretty lousy pick.

That being said, I'm sure you'd trade up if you could. But yeah, this just wasn't what the doctor ordered for this team with a hollowed-out defense.

Co-sign. And I drafted Cam Erving in the first round.

So I'll happily crap all over the Bradbury selection because I've earned my stripes to do so.

I’m not crushing anyone. It’s a ****ing discussion board. There’s going to be differences of opinions

And no where in my post did I point you out. I simply stated my opinion on the matter.

And I stated mine back. This is all in good fun. Of course it’s hard picking the right guy for KC. There’s so many directions this team can go in the first couple rounds

staylor26 03-20-2019 11:36 AM

Not the pick I would have made, but not a bad pick by any means.

kccrow 03-20-2019 12:18 PM

What in the mother of **** did I miss today holy shit...........

That's a hell of a way to get a better defense, draft a player you don't need on the wrong side of the ball.

stupid isn't it? Typical CP loving their fatties.

Mahomes still went 36TDs 10INTs 3600yds when Morse was sidelined after JAX game. And just so we're clear, Aaron Donald destroyed everyone last season.

I dont mind the Chiefs drafting a C, just not in the first rd when the Chiefs are in dire need of a D rebuild, when the team is starving for help at every level.

I disagree...it was a shitty pick.

RealSNR 03-20-2019 12:38 PM

The Green Bay Packers select Dexter Lawrence, DT, Clemson

The Packers technically have a nose in Kenny Clark, but... eh, screw it. This guy's worth it. It's not like Kenny Clark is a cemented starter who can't handle moving in or out. BPA on their board, and it's not like the defense is sooooo good. The Packers can also move on from him easier after this season is up.

Hoover 03-20-2019 12:46 PM

With the 31st pick in the NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Rams select Greg Little, OT, Mississippi.


PM being sent

If we don't 'need' a center, then we don't 'need' a CB, DL or LB either. Because Austin Reiter is not better than any of our starting CBs. He's not better than Lucas/Sorensen. He's not better than Speaks/Okafor. He's not even obviously better than Wilson/O'Daniel.

He's just a warm body that didn't trip over his own feet...often. But beyond the mere need to protect Mahomes is that Reid's offense needs centers that can move in space. Reiter is objectively shitty at that; he's not very athletic at all. It makes him a lousy run blocker and as more teams get an understanding of that it will make him more and more prone to stunts/twists on the interior.

Reiter is no sort of long-term position at C. Center is absolutely just as big a short and long-term need as CB, S and DL, moreover the positional depth at ALL of those positions is significantly better than it is at C.

The easiest way to ensure that the offense that looks so indestructible now doesn't remain that way is to neglect it. That's how our shithouse defense became a shithouse defense. Because 4 years ago we didn't 'need' defenders so we didn't bother spending any draft capital on them and now that side of the ball is struggling for talent.

Mahomes threw for 3,600 yards in 5 games, eh?

If you aren't even informed enough to know who was actually playing, then you don't merit further discussion.

Besides, everyone knows that the greatest compliment anyone can receive on this board is your scorn. The next time you're right about something will be the first.

Going into the draft with a "were drafting this no matter what" mindset is how you end up trading up for Breeland Speaks.

Don't do that.

All the hot air in the world won't give me a good feeling about that pick. There's a handful of other centers in this draft you could describe the same way and they won't cost a 1st round pick. I can't recall a Reid team ever using a 1st on a center either.

Don't do that.

I just don't see how Reiter, a guy who was a 7th round pick who was then waived by 2 shitty teams before being picked up by the Chiefs, is suddenly this obvious slam-dunk long-term option on the strength of 4 games.

Watch the guy - his feet suck. That's a serious problem for what Reid wants to do with his lineman and his running game specifically. He is at best marginally more likely to be a viable starting-caliber option at C than Wilson is at Sam. And I think there's an excellent chance Wilson amounts to nothing at all. And at least if Wilson amounts to nothing at all, we don't get the foundation of the franchise hurt in the process.

He's a blue chip player on a draft board that was otherwise bereft of them at a position where the Chiefs presently have a question mark.

Bossreach, indeed.


O.city 03-20-2019 01:10 PM

I'm not in the draft, so if i'm clogging the thread I'll begrudgingly apologize and leave.

But, the deal with taking Bradburry there, is that DJ is making the case that he can get the best C in the draft, a player he views has all pro upside. If he takes a corner, or a safety, he's taking in his view the 4th or 5th rated one on his board.

Then later he can take a center that may be the 5th best one he has rated. Then you have the 5th rated CB and the 5th rated C vs the top C (who he sees as a blue chip prospect) and say his 6th rated CB. Now the CB thing isn't ideal, but if my staggered board has 6 and 3 CB not very different, then i'm not better off.

Maybe i'm way off in his thinking though.

'hot air'

As opposed to the veritable font of wisdom you clearly are.

And there aren't a handful of centers who will cost anything less than a 2nd round pick that can point to anything remotely resembling Bradbury's resume or potential.

And we know Reid's used a 1st round pick on a guard in the past. If he'll use one on a G, he'll use one on a C. He's already used a 2nd on one and that got all the usual suspects all pissy then as well.

kccrow 03-20-2019 01:16 PM

With the 32nd pick in the 2019 Draft, the New England Patriots select Johnathan Abram, S, Mississippi State

With Patrick Chung looking worse and worse on an annual basis, Bill can't pass on the draft's premier talent at the position.

kccrow 03-20-2019 01:21 PM

With the 33rd pick in the 2019 Draft, the Arizona Cardinals select Juan Thornhill, S, Virginia

After letting Antoine Bethea and Tre Boston walk this offseason, the Cardinals have to start from scratch at safety so they run out and get the draft's most athletic playmaker.

In a draft I absolutely hated for the Broncos I got Ryan Ramczyk, who would be a dream pick for them, Jayon Brown in the 7th (who's a complete stud), Alex Anzalone and Chad Wheeler. Not much variety there; bookend tackles and a couple of good off-ball linebackers, but better than I thought it would be at the time. I really hated that draft.

My 49ers draft was better though; Lattimore, McCaffrey, Zay Jones, Kendall Beckwith and Julie'n Davenport. 3 starting caliber offensive players and 2 starting caliber defensive guys. Zay Jones is probably gonna nutter himself out of football though. Damn shame we can't do pre-draft interviews...

O.city 03-20-2019 01:25 PM

I wouldn't be upset with the Chiefs taking Thornhill in the first. Am I stupid?

I meant hot air as in you can't talk up that pick enough to make me find it less than ideal. I'd be okay with a Center as a 2nd round pick, but not a 1st round pick when this team is desperate for a playmaker anywhere on the defensive side of the ball. There were no less than 4 DBs I would have taken over a center there and I just took 2 of them.

Not stupid in my book. He's a playmaker that can tackle and has outstanding physical attributes. He's better than Adderley in my eyes.
