Key word right there. How many guys were mocked to KC at #31 were gone before the Chiefs pick? I honestly believe Veach took FAU because he didn’t think he would have be there in the 40s range. The fact he picked him over Hyatt shows who he felt was the better fit for KC at #31 as he could have just drafted Hyatt instead.

Duece a poor, smaller version of CEH. Id take a flyer as a UDFA, but no thanks in drafting him.

darren sproles

Look at Palmer absolutely fly here. Dude has to slow down to catch Stroud's deep ball.

And he's doing it 20lbs heavier than Hyatt.

Jesus ****, look how quickly how gobbles up that first 10-20 yards. Accelerates quicker "by a country mile"? Couldn't disagree more, my dude.

Just my opinion....but I'd rather see this discussion in the draft thread.

He's getting drafted. The only knock on him is his height. That's it.

Sorry about that. It's a swirling mass of football information today

Didn't see this posted yet.

His RAS score is barely over 4, RBs that score thar low usually go undrafted.

Good stuff from this young man. I'm excited to watch him and his growth. He busts his ass! :thumb:


Pick is going be well worth it with more production than we got from the Shark Frank Clark last couple seasons.

Maybe Dante would be so kind to add it to the other videos up top....hard to get thru megathreads

gotchoo

Finally went to find the pick announcement... probably a Q, but if you were too damn old to see it live and hadn't found it yet....

Well yeah, that's a no shit. That's because his size is the reason for the low RAS.

What does the tape tell you otherwise though? Sometimes you can't rely on RAS and all the statistics/metrics out there. You also have to gauge it by the eye test as well as to what the tape tells you as well.

And given how the RB class has gone so far, there'll be a need for him.

I like this pick

I keep watching highlights (even though I've watched him plenty the past few years), and I see Tamba.

He seems nice, to me!

Seems like a good dude, and a home towner too!

Hard not to like him even if I wasn't blown away by the pick.

Probably has the most pass rush potential of all our DEs.

Pete Prisco only game FAU a grade of C+, I'm so angry right now. :cuss:

Lol, the next time Prisco praises the Chiefs for literally anything it'll be the first time.

Was about to say the same thing, Prisco hates KC and will never heap praise on anything we do

You're a special kind of asshole when Andy Reid openly despises you.

I knew he hated Sal Pal, but wasn't aware of his disdain for Prisco

You're right, I'm wrong. I got them mixed up.

If he doesn't already hate Prisco, he SHOULD :)

I like his sack dance

After watching Watson the Raper do it during the playoff game, I am hoping he comes up with something different.

Last year I thought that Karlaftis would be a career 6-8 sack kinda guy. I think Felix is a much more athletic version of him.

I think he’s gonna be a good one. 8-10 sacks per year IMO

Felix, Grorge, Omenihu and Danna is a really nice rotation

This is probably a repost but I was just watching some of the recap stuff from NFLN. Marc Ross picked FAU as the best DE fit in the draft. :drool:

Go ahead and try to love this guy more, because it's literally impossible. Dude is going to BEAST.

What this does is makes our secondary even better. We need turnovers.

Loved what he said to Spags. Can’t wait to see it come true.

When do we give him a nickname? And do we agree that "Felix the Cat" is too easy?

Secret of the Uz

This - he is incredible and I think an awesome fit for our team! Love him already! Great draft pick IMO! :clap:

He already has a nickname, King Felix

LOVE the victory move after the play! Wish we had a gif of it! Original and AWESOME! :thumb:

Not original at all. Also, Watson the Raper did it in Arrowhead when they were up 24-0

Even as a K-State homer, I think he's going to make a difference. I like his attitude and his humble dedication to the game. He was incredible with K-State, and improved very rapidly. He could put on 10-15+lb probably pretty easily, and it wouldn't slow him down any. He had a sneaky factor that I hope translates to the NFL. Him being so young, yet so capable is just icing on the cake...

Uzo works for me.

"The Operator" his mission is to buttrape Orlando Brown and Burrow

Wizard of Uz

Uzbelizeable?

His nickname is Uzi.

He got beat to the punch on King Felix by about 20 years.

Upon hearing the news that we now have an Uzi on the team, Frank Clark has agreed to return for the vet minimum.

So catching up here and they let the board fall to them with Felix. They wanted and tried to get Mazi Smith but that didn’t work out (thank God).

So glad we have Felix over Mazi

That Mazi talk was complete bullshit. The only thing that we've heard about him was that we tried to trade up with the Cowboys to take him. Do you really think that Veach called the Cowboys and told them who we were trying to trade up for?

That's the Cowboys trying to save face for a shit pick in the first round.

Mazi probably would have landed clark back here. Felix probably brings a run stuffer DT at vet min in.

I'm not buying that report at all about Mazi. It came from a Cowboys guy and reeks of the Cowboys trying to hype their pick up.

I'm wondering who we were looking at.

Nate Taylor said we loved him on the Times Ours pod. He also threw hints about Mazi Smith a few weeks leading up to the draft.

I think we did love that guy. I still wasn’t a big fan of the guy tho

Dude...Nate Taylor knows absolute dick about the draft. He also mocked Christian Watson to us last year the entire ****ing time.

My guess is from like 18-24 we were looking at WRs but no one was being serious about value. After that it was Myles Murphy.

When has Nate Taylor ever predicted literally anything about the Chiefs draft?

Where was he on the Chiefs being in on FAU?

He doesn't know shit.

Look at Franchise flailing around cause we wanted Mazi.

You really hate to see it man, have some self respect!!

Murphy is a force but I like Felix better as a guy to get the QB.

Murphy does fit the Cinci DL mold.

Better move on to trading first round picks for another position. You can't do it for DE anymore.

I've been vindicated in my analysis. It must really sting you guys asses.

He called the Josh Williams pick. He mocked him early but he mocked him to us.

I think he gets some info. Not a lot, but some.

But take him out of it for a sec. I 100% believe the Chiefs were in on Mazi Smith.

So I know as much as him then. I called Joshua Williams well before he did.

I've called much more than that over the last 5 years, and I still have absolutely no ****ing clue what is going on inside the Chiefs war room.

2 years in a row I've nailed the Chiefs 1st round pick, so maybe I should take Taylor's job!

:)

"The Chiefs will take (insert 7 different potential first rounders at various times throughout the offseason) !!!


Chiefs take one of the 7.


"I nailed the pick"

No dumbass, literally called Karlaftis and FAU in the call your shot threads.

Nice try though.

LMAO

I've explained before that my mock draft is a combination of what I would do/hope for and predictive.

Obviously, "call your shot" is 100% predictive.

I said before that I had to actually see Johnston fall to 31 to believe it, but I thought there was a good enough chance to put him in my mock. Is there any doubt he would've been the pick if he made it there?

Also, I had Karlaftis in my final mock AND in the call your shot thread last year. Not at all trying to hedge my bets.

Considering even Veach isn't sure who he'll end up drafting until he turns a name in, it's not surprising that nobody nails mock drafts on a regular basis.

I usually get one in my mock.

Just missed this year with Jerome Carvin, who I had the Chiefs taking in the 7th, but he was a priority UDFA for them.

Other guys I've nailed in my final mock or the call your shot thread:

Karlaftis
Thornhill
Gay
Sneed
FAU
