Yikes, it's time to upgrade the facilities.

Not a hard thing to do.


Hardman couldn't crack the Jets lineup and they had nothing other than G Wilson and a broken, old Alan Lazard.

I keep telling the 'we'll get him with our strength team and add 20 lbs of weight to him' crowd...

Fellas, we don't do this stuff better than Texas does. Their facilities are unreal.

“You made it too far in the playoffs by winning the Super Bowl. Best I can do is a couple extra nuggies in the cafeteria.”

-Clark, probably

We all know why he hasn't. Why spend money on something that you're going to either totally renovate or just leave

That's hilarious. He's like, "Soooo...."

The glowing lockers must be why Texas has won all those national championships in recent years.

This is a really dumb way to think about this. It helped bring a lot of talent to Austin. Then the coaches squandered that talent but the facilities did their part.

Yep, maybe just maturing another year or so will help since he just turned 21 on Saturday, but Feedin' him and workin' him probably aint doin' the trick.

And ours really aren't. Just get them some glowing f***ing lockers Hunt you tight f***

College football players aren't exactly known for being smart, but anyone who would pick a school based on things like glowing lockers probably can't tie their own shoes.

Don’t forget to add 9% to his 40 time.

Have you ever been to Austin

About 10 years ago, why?

It sells itself.

Yeah, just get some RGB lighting LED strips, and line the inside of the lockers.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the piles of cash thrown at them.

They’re nice.

Have a Nanotech one with camera on my OLED.

ESPN ranks the best draft picks:

1. Odunze
2. Caleb
3. Harrison Jr
4. Worthy
.
.
.
18. Wiley
.
.
.
61. Hadden
.
.
.
74. Hicks
.

85. Suamataia

Hadden at 61 is the most interesting.

Sounds like we're getting the Dave Merritt bump:

Man I'm so excited for this season already...this team is gonna go scorched earth on this league.

Same. Excited to see who takes the next big step forward. FAU, Rice, Connor, Chenal, and maybe even one of the rookies is ahead of schedule and gets playing time early.

Always excited to see what the young guys can do to keep this dynasty going.

McKinnon is gone, along with Hardman and Richie James.

I'd be pretty excited to see FAU operate in a Danna role and be effective. Presuming Danna will largely step into Omenihu's spot with his injury. If FAU can step up and give us reasonably productive rotational snaps, which I wouldn't really categorize as a 'big step forward' - I'd be pretty content.

But next year's a big year for Felix. He really does need to show us something in Omenihu's absence. We didn't add to the DE room this off-season so we clearly left a path for him. But first things first, he's gotta figure out a way to get snaps ahead of Malik friggen Herring...

as opposed to the other programs who throw piles of cash at them? If you don't think facilities matter to recruits you're living in a fantasy land and probably don't remember what being 18 is like

I'd cut Skyy before Hardman. But don't really care.

For better or worse, Skyy is getting another shot this year as is Toney. I hope to hell one of them salvages their careers.

By "shot" you mean to make the team, right?

Because they're both buried on the depth chart either way now. Reid didn't even mention him when he was talking about the WR group after adding Worthy.

Skyy will be on the practice squad at best. IMO it's more likely that he gets cut unless there are some unforseen injuries.

Eh...I think he makes the team. Annoyingly.

Assuming the Rice shit doesn't settle out this summer/fall, you're looking at:

Rice, Brown, Worthy, Watson, Toney, Moore, IMO.

They ain't carrying 7 this year, but I don't see them carrying 5 just yet either. Not with Worthy and Brown being new to the offense.

But I do think he's the last man in. If we carry 5 or someone forces their way onto the squad (Remigio seems like he could), then Moore's out. But I think that's a coinflip scenario at best.

You’d think Watson and justyn had a better shot at making roster / being buried since they’re bigger and we just got two more smaller guys

But the dolphins and chiefs seem to be stacking their roster full of short WRs.

Dolphins just drafted another good short wr

I honestly believe Remigio takes the last spot. I have no factual evidence whatsoever for my homeristic outlook. It's just my gut (which is wrong 78% of the time )

Well Hardman's not actually on the team...

But Veach has said that they're keeping in touch with Hardman, Smith and a few others.

Seems like they want the kids to earn the jobs and if things aren't looking great, they'll consider bringing back some of the veterans.

I honestly don't know what you'd do with Hardman, though. With Worthy and Brown both here, even if you subtract Toney and Moore, what does Hardman actually bring in their place that isn't awfully redundant?

He better start working on becoming the best special teams gunner he can be, if that's the case.

Fair point. But do ANY of these WRs look like strong special teamers?

Could just be that we use more TEs, Ss and LBers on the coverage units.

Unless Brown or Worthy get injured there is no role on this team for Hardman.

I won't stand for all of this Louis Rees-Zammit erasure.

I think this is right, barring injuries...which will happen...

Get used to it sir. That dude is this year's Justyn Ross type flavor of the season

I thought he was listed as RB

Welp, keeping in touch with Hardman may make a lot more sense if what James Palmer has said is true. Chiefs are apparently expecting Rice to get at least a half season suspension. That leaves Toney, Moore, and Watson as the only WRs well versed in the playbook.

He's a RB.

And it looks like McKinnon is gone, and they didn't draft anybody, so I think he has a decent shot. I think Bailey wins the RB3 role though as it stands right now.

He's not going to be a RB. He's not built for it.

I feel like they go WR in the 4th if they thought that were the case.

Cheap trade up for Walker or stay put and take Gould, Thrash or Malik Washington at 133. Or Rice at 211. Maybe Isaiah Williams at 248.

Just feel like they'd have done a little more.

Maybe they're eyeing Boyd or somebody?

That would make me feel a lot better if it is in fact 8 games.

The new return format favors linebacker/TE type builds and not WR gunners for coverage. I'm not sure how important WRs are in special teams now.

LRZ will be our kickoff return guy and emergency backup at RB and punt returner. Maybe slot receiver, but I kinda doubt that one.

Yea, he's not going to be RB3 or anything, but maybe he gets a roster spot as a STs, and RB4, that can play some WR.

I know they list him as a RB, but everything about him screams receiver to me. 6’3” 195 lbs. and 4.4 speed just seems weird for a RB. But hell, what do I know?

Good point.

Someone mentioned the lack of STs contributions from our WR group - that could be one way to make it up from another position.

Kid did a Q&A today and said he ate Chik fil A before every game. Yeah I’m inclined to think he didn’t take nutrition seriously in college.

Get that man some protein shakes and a diet plan to put 10 lbs on him

Huh? with his speed 6'2 190 works all day

He obviously needs serious time to refine his NFL game, but if Andy and Bretts vision comes true this guy genuinely breaks out two years from now

Mama has the right amount of thic to her.

So hey, maybe you're right.

I'd like it, guy playing third fiddle to Mahomes possession guy

Seems like a well spoken kid

On draft night listening the them go from MHJ to Nabers to Odunze was the most jarring thing I've ever experienced during a draft.

Odunze could be a pediatrician and it wouldn't surprise me. Guys name is Rome and it may as well be Mike. He's just the most ordinary midwestern sounding dude ever.

Look at his combine interview - that dude is an amazing communicator. I mean you can see him really listening attentively to questions, answered directly to the person asking the question, had a great sense of humor and really just seems like the kind of guy that would succeed at anything.

I think there was a guy we drafted named Tyreek that similar things were said about him. I think that worked put OK from what I remember. :p

Chad Johnson ate McDonalds all the time...some guys can absolutely eat like shit and be elite players.

Yeah, it was a big part of why I liked Odunze. Dude's gonna be Larry Fitzgerald 2.0

It would be hilarious if 3 years from now Worthy is obviously the better player.

Pre-draft Odunze had an interview on the Jim Rome Show and it was one of the best ones I had heard.

I also pop up when licked

Just a red flag to me. Good side is he wants to be wanted so works his ass off. I mean a tattoo before achieving anything. I hope he likes working out is all. <iframe scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets/widget_iframe.2f70fb173b9000da126c79afe2098f02.html?origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.chiefsplanet.com" title="Twitter settings iframe" style="display: none;"></iframe><iframe id="rufous-sandbox" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="true" style="position: absolute; visibility: hidden; display: none; width: 0px; height: 0px; padding: 0px; border: medium;" title="Twitter analytics iframe"></iframe>

:facepalm:

A kid is excited his lifelong dream just came true, and he commemorated the occasion with a tattoo, and that's a red flag for you?

I always try to be respectful, but this is just a very bad take.

To be fair, the tattoo Smed is referring to is the "slutty" tramp stamp on his lower back.

Do we know what gang those tattoos are affiliated with yet? Hopefully bloods since he will be in red.

Being a first round pick in the NFL draft is a big deal. A red flag would be something like a "live laugh love" tattoo on a single mom.

I hope worthy’s 40 time shows up on the field. I haven’t seen a lot of film where he is that fast. If he can tap into that speed and play that fast, he will be dangerous.

I just don't understand this take at all.

I don't think anybody knew he would have the fastest 40 time ever, but that kind of stuff is hard to predict with the eye test, and he is still extremely fast on the football field. As long as he's faster than the other guy, which he almost always is on the field, what difference does it make?

Fast is fast.

Throwing window.

I said a similar thing when we drafted him. I was a little surprised by how rarely he looked faster than the rest of the field. He just didn't play like a 4.2 guy.

He plays like a fast player - not a generationally fast one, though. He doesn't stand out as a 'my god he's fast' sort of guy, IMO.

I disagree. I think there are examples of both, which maybe speaks to inconsistency, but I've seen enough plays/snaps where he looks generationally fast.
