I picked B for badass.

A-, overall great draft that filled the main needs and Skyy could be the most impactful WR in the draft.

I think Jermaine Johnson might have more upside/higher ceiling than George Karlaftis and thought maybe it was worth the Chiefs trading up a few spots to get Johnson since he fell within striking distance of their 30th pick.

The odd thing about Johnson and Karlaftis is you would definitely think Johnson has more ceiling, but at the same time, he’ll be 24 year old rookie, while Karlaftis just turned 21.

I think that was more of a factor than we realize, and Veach took a lot of young guys in a draft full of old ones.

James Jones said Skyy Moore will be rookie of the year

Not sure I agree with that. Losing Tyreek is a huge hit to the overall talent level of this team. I think this might be the deepest team we’ve had in a while though. The only position that lacks depth is the DL.

RAS is kinda silly, but the Chiefs draft class was the 6th highest. Skyy Moore’s height and Kinnard were the only things holding us down a bit.

I would have liked to addressed the de more but hard to complain. Lots of great tacklers. But edge was my focus in this draft. I love the value of skyy where we got him and with a trade back. His route running & hands are gonna help him contribute immediately.

I think if you could have gotten Drake Jackson at 62 over Cook….it would be an easy A+.

And I like Cook and can see why they took him.

Yeah they couldn't have thought the Chiefs were going to take a CB. I'd love to be in their war room when we took McDuffie.

Creed had the highest RAS ever for a center.

B.

I hated the McDuffie pick for a few reasons.

1) Jermaine Johnson was there. He's the best pass rusher in the draft IMO and a legit top 10 type pick. Elite Pass rushers are harder to find than CBs, and you rarely have a chance to nab the best one.

2) Veach and the coaching staff have shown they don't need the best corners to have a good pass defense. Instead, they find diamonds with late-round picks or trades and make coach them up.

3) it forces you to make a less than desirable decision at 30...

I was not a fan of Karlaftis either. They could have drafted their DE at 21 and went Booth or Elam (probably would have been there) if they wanted CB, Daxton Hill/Pitrie if they wanted S, Logan Hall/Ebiketie/Mafe/Paschal Ojabo if they wanted to double up on DE, Watson/etc if they wanted WR or even traded back a few spots because there were takers allegedly.

I'm not a fan of Skyy Moore when they could have had Pickens or Pierce at 50 who I like a heckuva lot better. They still have a major hole at WR that they will need to fill in 23 (they need a #1). Moore to me is a nice complementary WR.

I'm not a fan of the Cook pick either, especially with Nik Bonitto going 2 picks later. The Chiefs still need a pure pass rusher and Bonitto is one of the best ones in the draft. Safety is a much easier position to fill in FA IMO and not a huge need and a slight reach.


I LOVE the Leo Chenal pick. There is no way he should have been there at 103. This pick accomplishes two things. 1, it provides them a legitimate stud at the SAM position and allows Gay to play the weak side, which he's a better fit IMO. The potential from blitz packages gets me excited. Also, this provides a backup to Bolten at MLB and maybe quietly a better prospect athletically at the position.

I like the Joshua Williams pick because this is what I look for in a typical veach/spags CB draft pick. He will likely become a good player in the Chiefs defense.

I love the Kinnard pick. He's going to be the RT at some point maybe even this season. Not sure how he fell this far but he's the best OT in the SEC with 3 elite seasons. Admittedly, I wanted Zyon McCollum CB with this pick.


I'm intrigued by Pacheco. We desperately need a home run hitter at RB.

So I gave it a B. It was a good draft but I would have just went a different direction with some picks. They know best so I hope I'm wrong about Karlaftis, Moore and the players I thought the Chiefs should have got instead.
