Any player that knows the "Matt Cassel" days like the rest of us is alright in my book.

LINK???

Also, as a KU fan, I was kind of wishy-washy about Nick Bolton and I won’t make that mistake again

A Matt Cassel game at 7 years old…

Clearly young and naive enough not to be ruined by the experience. Thank God.

Why WOULDNT he say that though. Of course he's going to say that. But to me that really means there was only 15-17 first rounders on his board. I think they went emotional with this pick.

We'll see. Hopefully he's an 7-10 sack guy for many years. Hopefully our 2nd and 3rd round picks are steals to relax the feeling of this one.

I completely admit that I’m a sucker for skill positions but are you OK with this guy over Hyatt?

Go sleep on it then watch his tape. Doesn’t feel like a reach at all. What did you have your heart set on? Ps I’m an Oklahoma state fan. He put in work on them, I’m no kstste homer.

Yes, absolutely.

The difference in Hyatt and the round 2 WRs isn't all that significant, and they could still trade up for him.

Mingo's my guy though.

LET’S ****ING GO! LEE’S SUMMIT IN THE MOTHER-****ING HOUSE!!

Watch the videos in the OP. He totally bullies normal college linemen. He's really strong and has the frame to carry more with an NFL program. This was the last pick of the first round, so temper expectations. But, this could turn out to be a good pick....

See my thing is is that I feel like Hyatt could be the best wide receiver in the draft. If it’s true that his 40 time was compromised I mean. But if Veach doesn’t feel the same? Well, I’m just basically shooting from the hip as a fan and I trust the scouts.

He was projected to go early to possibly mid-second round, at 31 it’s not a reach. We may trade up tomorrow for someone projected in the same range, flip them and you have the same results. Trading up in the first is more costly, and even at that was pursued but the offers were turned down. There is no way it was a reach.

As to picking him for his KSU ties, I’d think his KC metro ties would likely weigh more heavily, if that was even part of the consideration.

My cousin saw Felix at the Lee's Summit Best Buy today

I actually really like this pick. It's pretty ****ing cool for him to play for the team he grew up loving. It's literally every kid that plays football's dream. Should give him additional motivation.

Wish he would have been invited to the draft. Kinda ****ed they didn't invite the local kid that had a 1st round grade.

Your whole statement tells me you’d be wishy washy about this pick if not for the success of a single other player.

And you’re a KU fan.

Exactly my point.

Total MEH pick but thankfully at the correct position. Hopefully we somehow find a steal in the second.
