I also am pretty excited to see what Connor embree brings to the table. Comes in with a hell of an early football background. We’ve got a lot of WRs in the coaching room now with one as a passing game coordinator and one as our RBs coach

I could see a 3 and 7 and Kelce is double or trupled teamed and he'll get a small window open for Mahomes to zip it in there for the first down. He will make that catch.

I think that's key. It allows the Chiefs to attack different defensive schemes in different ways by utilizing different skill-sets. It keeps everything fluid, and the one constant is Mahomes and Kelce.

I'm no draftnik but I dont have to be with this pick.

Mahomes worked him out. They kept that secret. Reputable source says Mahomes told Veach to go get him. Veach went up in the draft to get him. Andy had to sign off too. But, you know better than those three? :rolleyes:

The best thing about the Chiefs right now is their concept of "Team". The front office and the field are essentially one here. This isn't a case like Green Bay where you have assholes with a "I pick the players, and you all coach and play with the players I pick."

Veach is actively taking feedback from at the very least his quarterback on players he'd like to see here.

He isn't simply saying "Well this is the BPA, even though he doesn't exactly fit what we do, make it work."

I still have nightmares about Carl Peterson drafting career safeties like Eric Warfield and William Bartee, and putting them out on islands at CB to get roasted on a weekly basis.

Rice looks like he could become an absolute stud. Bigger target, can win the 50/50 ball, and bigtime YAC potential. Another potential guy that even when they try to cover him, he still gets the ball. Some of the highlights we've seen the guy was playing on a turf toe or broken toe.

If it weren't for Andy's notoriously slow development of Rookie WRs, I'd be even more pumped.

Drops are a little concerning, but it sounds like they’re just focus drops. He has good hands.

Count me in as this is a beast pick. Vatch is god

Yes! & Gray sure seems ready to take some of that

Is this what your team of scouts, gathered intel and in person interviews lead you to believe or a mock draft simulator and Matty lane?

This place is reeruned sometimes. If you’ve at least done your homework pre draft you can bitch a little because you came to your own conclusions and have your own convictions. If your whole argument is just “I think he would have made it 35+ more picks why did we trade up? Just ****ing cool it and trust the process, the chiefs have earned some leash.

Take it for what it’s worth (maybe already mentioned) but Brett Kollman doesn’t appear to be a big fan of this pick, called the draft the Chiefs-ish Chiefs draft ever, whatever the hell that means. Not sure I value the opinion of that cock stain ever since he started collaborating with the Chargers.

So we replaced JuJu and solidified the X position all at once for the next few years. I'm not seeing the downside here.

This is very promising

Can't wait to see Mahomes throw this guy open. Want to see YAC?

Chiefs at Jets.

Rice is going to overpower the Sauce and going to shake up the culinary world.--:homer::homer::homer:

Right lack of separation and drops are not what I wanted in a receiver.


But then again diversifying the receivers isn't a bad idea and the attributes he does have are something this team is lacking.

The first time somebody compared him to Hopkins my viewpoint changed. Rashee is actually faster than Hopkins. And if he ends up more Roddy White than Deandre Hopkins that's okay as well.

Also it's been since basically Robinson left that we've had that receiver who scrambles to get open when the play breaks down. We could use more of that.
