Not having a solid much less advanced NT hurt the Chiefs bad in 2017. When Reid first got here, he had two seasons of above average play on the defensive line. The subsequent seasons sucked in that aspect.
And if we're expecting CB's to be LB's, we're not doing it right.
I like what Veach is doing. He took an expected unsexy draft, and made the most with what he had, building according to his philosophy. If philosophy is "from the inside out", so be it.

Poe made me realize 40 time for NT isnt a big deal.

Umm yea our DL could use some of that

More good gifs of Nnadi on his page if anybody can embed them

He man handles the center and pushes him right back into the runner making the play

We can debate speaks versus a CB like Isiah Oliver (without trading up) all day and night long.

We can debate O’Brien and somebody from the fourth round of moving up for Yiadom ....and both sides can have points that are valid.

Drafting Derrick Nnadi though...this kid is gonna be special.

This was a damn good pick with high potential.

Chris Jones was one of the strongest natural DL I’ve seen in the last 5 years as a rookie. This guy is just as strong and he knows how to use it.

Jones problem is his height makes it hard for him to have good pad level bc guys get under him.

Nnandi is already at a low center of gravity. Reminds me of Ravens DL Brandon Williams. Hoping we are getting a similar guy.

That is some avengers shit right there!

Reminds me of Mike Daniels of GB.

Which is nice.

If he turns out to be anything close to that I'd be doing back flips... Hope you're right

His flag plays fell off b/c he no longer had a NT next to him who command double teams. Jones for a lot of attention from opposing offenses last season.

Is it weird that he kinda reminds me of Jerry Ball before Ball literally became a big fat ball?

Can he run like Dontari Poe?

Grunhard said on 810 this morning that someone with the Chiefs mentioned Nnadi to him back in January as a guy the team loved. I can't remember the guys name with the Chiefs though.

Said Nnadi was a run stopper and the hardest working guy on the team at Florida St.

Glad to get this guy signed. Teams wanting to run on the Chiefs like they did in the last few years will be disappointed. This D. will be stacked with run stuffers.
