How are our 2023 rookies doing?

[Womble]

2023 Chiefs Draft Class

Felix Anudike-Uzomah Kansas State · DE
Rashee Rice SMU · WR
Wanya Morris Oklahoma · OL
Chamarri Conner Virginia Tech · DB
BJ Thompson Stephen F. Austin · DE
Keondre Coburn Texas · DT
Nic Jones Ball State · CB

How have they done? Apart from Rashee Rice (really impressed) and a few FAU tackles I haven't really noticed any of the other rookies. Admittedly, I'm not the most observant person when it comes to O-linemen and D-linemen. I'm wanting to know how you all think they're doing because I don't have a clue.

I’ve barely seen any of them on the field yet….but in reality, on a young Super Bowl team, who exactly are they going to replace for playing time?

Are the rookies failing or are the chiefs just really deep? You know the answer.

Let them learn and filter in as needed.

Part of having a damn loaded roster is that it’s hard for young guys to find the field.

Our weakest position (WR) has presented a massive opportunity for Rice. He’s done really well.

Looks like a top 5 rookie WR this year. Right there behind guys like Zay Flowers.

Danna and Karlaftis are playing really well. I'm not worried at all about Felix's lack of playing time. He HAS flashed when he's been in the game, too.

Morris actually came into the game when Smith had to go out for a play or two, not Niang. That's a good sign for him.

I think I've seen Conner in there once or twice? He's done well, I want to say? Thompson is whatever. Nic Jones is injured.

Coburn, unfortunately, is dead to me. Die, Donk scum.

Wanya came into the game and didn't get his ass beat by Mack so that's a good sign.

Veach is a criminal mastermind on par with Lex Luthor and Carlo Gambino...they're doing GREAT

VERY!

[MahomesMagic]

Yeah, Wanya coming in first at left tackle is a great sign for him.

Rashee Rice, everyone can see he looks like a hit.

I also was a huge fan of FAU and expect him to get more snaps as we get deeper into the year.

That was such a brilliant play call too. Immediately went right over Bosa’s head with that pass cuz Andy knew he’d be aggressively attacking the LT.

Rice is a hit, Conner looks pretty good the rest don't really play much

Oh, I assumed that it was Prince who came in. That was Wanya?

It looks like Prince is on the injured list. I missed that development.

Overall, the group has been pretty quiet other than Rice looking good in limited opportunities. But that's to be expected. Rookies often have a hard time cracking the lineup on a Super Bowl champion team. They'll come along.

Keondre Coburn got picked up on waivers by the Broncos

[suzzer99]

FAU is 21 years old too. Lots of room for growth.

BJ Thompson has all the speed and needs to fill out.

[Why Not?]

Great! Rice is a stud in the making and everyone else is learning the league and the system. Coburn is gone but whatever on that.
