Chiefs focused on Mahomes, McCaffrey, and Cunningham in RD1

[pugsnotdrugs19]

SEE POST #11 FIRST

... the word in the Chiefs building is that they would like to trade up for QB Patrick Mahomes or RB Christian McCaffrey in the first round. If this falls through, he said they like ILB Zach Cunningham a lot as well.

If the Chiefs manage to grab Mahomes I officially claim him as my "adopt a Chief".

Yes they do. It is their 2018 2nd rounder that was sent to Cleveland.

I imagine the Chiefs will be talking to teams about possible trades all this week before the draft ever even starts. They might have already contacted certain teams about whether they would be interested and how much it would cost. That's probably where all these rumors are starting from.

Hey pugs, we used to have an "insider" who offered a news letter with all the inside info but only to peeps that were the cool kids. That was never ridiculed at all, you should try it.

Oh, really? Damn. I read on here a few days ago that they didn't have one. My bad.

I wasn't sure either until this morning. I had to look it up because I had been reading the same things you were.

Rico posted something in the draft forum about 3 weeks ago that we are very interested in Kizer.

According to Walter Football, Kizer and Deshaun Watson are the only QB's the Chiefs have met with multiple times.

If we take Kizer I will throw up. He has shitbag bust written all over him.

I don't think this is true. The Chiefs met with all these QB's at the combine and then private visits.
I believe some of them like Peterman, Webb and Dobbs were also talked to at the Senior Bowl

Just to clarify, Garrett Fugate is a QB; so that makes three QBs that we've met with more than once: Fugate, Kizer and Watson.

Lol @ KnowMo and the reddit user just assuming Walter's info is 100% accurate. We definitely met with all the top QB's more than once.

He's a weird, weird prospect. I like him, but I can certainly understand why some don't. I just take some umbrage with the idea that he's Ramik Wilson picking around the pile or Donnie Edwards getting carried 5 yards past first contact. What he does, he does on purpose and not because he's tentative. He's a willing tackler, he just appears to have always gotten great results with this odd technique of his so he still uses it.

It's Hawk Tackling. I haven't checked, but would be willing to bet the majority of the team tackles similarly. Get used to it... everyone will be tackling similarly within 10 years. I just started teaching it this year.
