I believe what Veach said when he told everyone that they liked the secondary class a lot more than the edge class. He could have easily leaped up to take Drake Jackson or just taken Sam Williams over Skyy Moore but he didn’t.

I think that’s Spags philosophy. He’s gonna blitz and use a competent secondary full of versatile athletes to mix and match different coverages to confuse QB’s. Stop the run to make teams one dimensional and get them in 3rd and long to set up your blitzes.

I also think they know Ingram is coming back and they know he’s our best edge rusher. However I wouldn’t be surprised if they traded for a developmental player. They tried getting Omenihu and thought about Key but they think Karlaftis can fit that role, which he should.

Every year it seems like Veach tears down a part of the team to rebuild it. Last year was the OL and this year it was the secondary. That’s not at all surprising considering Matheiu and Sorenson both lost a step and struggled badly, Thornhill was getting lost on deep coverage making mistakes and Hughes just sucked.

With our division loading up I think they want to play the coverage game. Kinda crazy they brought in 3 veteran DB’s and drafted another 5.

:LOL:

89.5 sacks in 177 games

And how many sacks per game is that?

You are horrible at math.

That I do agree

All of this. The Chiefs were THRILLED that Karlaftis fell to their pick. This is the guy they targeted and wanted on the DL. Could they all end up being wrong? Sure. But, it's not like they had to settle for anything. Bronty Veers probably sprinted that card up the moment they were on the clock.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA


DUDE.

Do you even math?

89.5 would be less than 177, correct?

Like about half as many, correct?

So how do you get 1.98?

The real answer is about half. About half a sack per game, not almost two sacks per game.

Divided 177/89.5 LOL

yeah, it's 1.98 games per sack. Not sacks per game.

Anyway,

I think there's a whole lot of armchair GM's that had a guy they wanted, and when Veach took a different guy, they have to express their displeasure by tearing the pick down.

This, and really all of the picks with the possible exception of Cook were good value picks at positions of need. All are described as hard working, intelligent football players; and all had high RAS (relative athletic scores). So...I really don't see what there is to complain about YET.

Now, if the season starts and they suck balls, let it fly!

But at the moment, each of these are logical bets to be good football players.

I think we might get as many as 6 solid contributors out of this draft, and that's ****ing excellent by any standard.

Cook is a really interesting pick. It was clear that Barn Vobersnatch and other brass really wanted this guy. How much of that is attitude and how much of that is ability will be interesting to see. He clearly replaces Dan and should be an improvement there.

I think it's very difficult to overstate just how shitty Sorensen was and had been for a long time.

For a 'saavy veteran' that guy missed more tackles, blew more coverages, and just flat looked clueless 90% of the time.

But then every once in awhile would make a big play and the casual fans just loved him.

I ****ing hated him.

I cannot fathom just how bad Armani Watts must be.
