He's caught up in positional value to a point that he thinks you shouldn't invest in half the team with money or high picks.

Kent and Craig are fine for the most part, but Matt is a weiner.

Wow. Nice video. Kid sounds pretty smart. And he grew up wrestling? Ahh, **** yeah. That made me grin from ear to ear. Really liking this pick.

Craig is good because I like his thoughts on defensive players. Kent is iffy sometimes. Matt Lane just sounds like a douche every time he talks.

They’re so caught up in their little rules that they ignore results in favor of their strict philosophy.

They treat it too much like a science. The draft and team building in general is an art with some science.

I’m still floored that this guy made it to 58. Just to clarify, OL this good do not fall that far. It had to have been the class. Lot of really good lineman that can play tackle or guard.

James Daniels, Dalton Risner, Elgton Jenkins, Erik McCoy. List goes on and on of talented OL that don’t make it out of the top 50.

We just got a tall, fairly strong (29 bench reps) athletic monster

Again, these guys never fall in the draft. it’s like Chris Jones all over again but on the other side of the ball.

Man what a ****ing steal this was

We got the best OC in the draft, and that's pretty much a consensus, and we got him at #63. How that **** is that not good value? The final piece to a complete offensive line rebuild in two months?

**** that guy.

Have you seen him? Speaks for itself.

The Chiefs were busy putting together the last piece of the puzzle to a completely rebuilt OL with some serious upside.

They don’t give a **** about your philosophy on positional value. They’re trying to win Super Bowls, not get clicks and look smarter than everybody in the room.

But he’s a C and they don’t help your football team as much as other positions!

It's dumb nonsense. Humphrey is a stud and a former wrestler.

The dude is going to be a monster for the Chiefs because if there's anything in this world that Andy Reid knows, it's offensive lineman.

Reid took a shit load of scrubs last year, most of whom wouldn't start for a single game for a single team in the NFL last year, coached them to 18-2 and one win shy of a second consecutive Super Bowl.

I can understand the trepidation with Nick Bolton because most people haven't seen him in a game before, myself included. As you know, CBS shows a ton of SEC games every Saturday but I've rarely, if ever, seen a game in which Mizzou was featured.

But Humphrey? With Reid, I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in the Hall of Fame.

Did they not watch Reiter get abused like the gimp from Pulp Fiction two months ago?

Just by facial features looks like our Mongo. Not sorry if Q

It’s going to be amazing watching Clyde get 5 yard gains on 3rd and 1 this season LMAO

Doesn’t matter they should’ve taken another position even if they didn’t feel that player was a fit, or felt comfortable with his medicals, or had some concerns about their love for footballs etc! It’s an exact science man! RB, LB, IOL are BAD in first 2 rounds!

Yeah - this is a homerun pick. Anyone who thinks otherwise is either overthinking it, or an idiot.

https://www.nflmockdraftdatabase.com...umphrey/page/1

I think this is a good better indicator of where most mock drafts had him going. A lot of them had him going late first round.

This kind of pick is EXACTLY the sort of thing you need to do when you're a perennial contender drafting at the bottom of every round.

You take the BEST player at what some may consider LESSER positions, when it's a need. You don't reach for guys.

And that's where that guy doesn't understand it. Humphrey has to be a smart guy (which obviously he is, since he graduated with a degree in finance) in order to identify and recognize the defense and set protection calls.

That helps your football team as much as other positions.

You do when you have a half a billion dollar QB for the next 10 years.

more than many.

It's just not a flashy position.

It's kind of like the MLB of the offense.

Not to mention that some star QB's are throwing a fit because their team organization isn't providing them any kind of weapons or protection (see Rodgers in GB and Wilson in Seattle).

I am very glad to be a Chief fan right now because not only Veach saw the problem in SB 55, he aggressively attacked the problem.

Whatever the result will be, he has done a hell of a job.

Yeah, it's bad logic. If the Chiefs applied this logic last year, then Clyde shouldn't have been drafted by the Chiefs last year.

That would have been a big mistake.

Creed Humphrey's arm length is the same as Rodney Hudson's but he's better on all other measurables.

Great pick. No worries.

You either die a Nate Taylor, or live long enough to see yourself become a Matt lane.

He was my favorite center but I never thought the Chiefs would have a chance to get him.

He even knew who coach Heck was

I also want to expand the conversation that other than Niang & Thuney, everyone O-linemen is on a one year contract (with an exception of Nick Allegretti who has two years left).

Of all the O-linemen that is on a 1 year contract, I am more than positive the only guy who will be receiving an extension (or a tag if it comes to that point) would be Orlando Brown Jr.

The others will have to prove their worth or they can go kick rocks.

That's Country Strong....

That's holding

LMAO LMAO

LMAO

It's a hate crime

Looking at his tape great pass blocker, just a tree stump, with no help needed from other OL.

Walls off defenders on run plays, foot work is spot on, nothing flashy just does his job.
Recovers well after getting beat gets his hands back inside.
Some trouble with stunts, and open space.

Creed is old school center , like an anchor in the middle your not moving him back very far before he stops you and has you your knees.

PM is sleeping well im sure.

What's his nickname? I propose - "Apollo" cause that shit goes with Zeus.
Left to right we got -Zeus, Thor, Apollo, and a combination of Paul Bunyan, the seed of Howie Long (Erik the Reid) and "Hannibal" Niang on the right side. Plus Remmers (Norm from cheers) and Blythe (Sean Bean) manning the backup spots.

God that picture is embarrassing.

Every time I see it....

Or do both. Prove their worth, go kick rocks, give us the comp picks.

Thank them for your service.

That and Dee Fords runaway gif are our buttfumbles.

Bart Peach is having a good draft so far. Great offseason.

I’m so excited about this pick.

Im just here to dote on the fact hes a south paw.
Thats pretty cool.
I was gonna try to be a catcher back when playing little league. We looked at getting a special mitt for me and everything.

I honed my right hand delivering newspapers. I'd drive my bike down middle of road and throw papers with both arms, lol.

He has to be the 1st left handed center I seen.

I could type out my draft guides glowing report, but its just too damn long

But the opening sentence is... The last two seasons, Humphrey established himself as the best center in the nation by a wide margin

Nuff said :whackit:

He has the best score/grade of any center in 34 ****ing years?!

Holy Shit.

I so excited to watch our new line play.. The rest of the NFL has got to be wondering how to stop us now... I can’t believe my team is this awesome... What a great time to be a Chiefs fan..

I'd like for Creed's nickname to be "Thiccness." Just that. No "the."

"Look at Thiccness clearing lanes for CEH!"
"Thiccness just pancaked Aaron Donald!"

In fact, from here on out, that's the only way I'll refer to him on here.

This was a HUGE need for the Chiefs and they get the best option. Amazing!

Creed shall be known as Awesome-O

I would need to see some examples to believe the op's profile where it says...

"Will give some ground early against strong bull rush"

"Doesn't generate noticeable push as a drive blocker at the point of attack"

These highlight reels say different, not to mention he's a freaking horse at 6'4 325

Agreed.

Thiccness is not getting bull rushed.

First thought that popped into my head when I saw Creed was "Mongo like candy", and "Oh no, don't shoot him. You'll only make him mad". Mongo

I believe Austin Blythe was a State Champion Wrestler in Iowa as well... Two centers/guards that our stud grapplers... Love it.

Humphrey will be starting by the end of the year. That's pretty good for a position that puts a premium on knowledge.

I don't think so.

I think he'll be starting by the beginning of the year.

Very possible. Depends on if he can stay healthy and get a full workload in during Summer camps and TC.

He's a lefty and needs to work on the shotgun snap with Mahomes. If Mahomes doesn't like the spin of his snap or whatever, it might take awhile.

Creed is a day one starter....

I think I have to agree

Health hasn't been a issue for Creed as he has played since his redshirt freshmen in Oklahoma. And I think there'll be some workouts being held in camps these days, whereas some rookies did not have that luxury last year.

That part about the shotgun snap is true though. Most centers are right handed, so a left handed center snapping the ball can be somewhat different than right handed centers.

But I don't anticipate the adjustment will be that long.

Sorry buddy. Chris Berman has already tainted that nickname by using it on Rob Gronkowski.

I think sometimes they just make up weaknesses to have something to put in that category

In the phone call Andy asked if he's still snapping with his left and the next thing he says is "Oh I know you can do both" or something to that regard.

Looks pretty good at Guard in that Senior Bowl video too.

Yeah, I think he'll still be a C. But versatility is good too.

Versatility applies to a LOT of these guys. I have no doubt they will find the best way to get the best players on the field.


The only locked in guy is Brown at left tackle.

Yeah, Reid plays the best 5. That makes me love this situation even more. We have so many talented OL, that our best 5 will be damn good.

Thuneys locked in at LG also..

Actually Reid called him a guard and a center when we signed him

Right, that is true, but I believe that was before Humphrey was in the fold. I'd say it's a safe bet that Thuney is going to be a LG with Humphrey in the C position.

I think Thuney's best position is LG.

The only positions I think are really up for play are RG and RT.

It's a safe bet for sure. I'd be shocked, I'm just saying it is possible that Thuney plays center if that is somehow the best thing.

Not that I think it will be.


I think it will be

Orlando Brown
Thuney
Creed
Long
Niang

at least at the beginning

This was by far are best pick in the draft IMO. I’m very impressed with this kid.

Yep

He and Bolton were both pretty high value considering how late we got them compared to their grades.

Shotgun snap isn’t an issue. The under center snap will be the adjustment.

But...But.. he has small arms....;)

You're a lot more of an optimist than I am if you think any of our now reserve O-linemen will generate any more than a used hotdog wrapper in the way of comp. We can't even get anyone to pick up Reiter.

LA would gladly take Blythe back
