*****2024 NFL DRAFT THREAD - NO SPOILERS*****

[Dante84]

Version 2024 - PATRICK MAHOMES & THE HUNT FOR THE THREEPEAT

Let's ****ing do this.

Rules for once the draft begins:

1. No spoiled picks in this thread, all weekend. This means that as tweets are leaking picks a few minutes before the selection is announced live, you don't post it in this thread (ex: embedded tweets), reference it in this thread (ex: Joe Slapdick says it's So and So to Green Bay) or hint at it (ex: "it's a RB!").
   
2. Don't be a dick.

Otherwise, have fun, talk shit, freak out and lose your goddamned minds. It's Draft Weekend. The hot takes in these threads are so funny. I'll also be starting player threads for each of our picks as they are made, with videos and notable stats/takes in the OP. These separate threads will be made as soon as the news breaks, outside of this thread. I will link the threads below. Pure knee-jerk gold to reference in the future.

Here are our picks:

Round 1, #28: Xavier Worthy
Round 2, #63: Kingsley Suamataia
Round 4, #131: Jared Wiley
Round 4, #133: Jaden Hicks
Round 5, #159: Hunter Nourzad
Round 6, #211: Kamal Hadden
Round 7, #248: C.J. Hanson

Here is a list of the prospects the Chiefs have shown interest in this year.

I agree, Pacheco just runs full steam into the defense like he has been doing his body is taking a beating, hasn't he already had a couple surgeries?

We need a big RB for the short yardage situations IMO.

[smithandrew051]

Without getting into specific names, here’s what I’d like to see in the last 5 picks (assuming these are also the BPA; wouldn’t reach at this point):

1. RB to take touches from Pacheco
2. Big bodied run stuffing DT (if he can provide some pass rush, all the better)
3. DB (just whoever Veach wants that I’ve never heard of and becomes a good DB right away like always)
4. IOL (depth this year with maybe a chance to start in the future, think Allegretti)
5. Another pass catcher (best WR or TE value available)

[ThyKingdomCome15]

If I had to pick a weak link amongst the starters on the team I'm looking at the DT lining up next to Chris Jones. Generally we have a big run stuffer there like Nnadi and Pennel. However Nnadi is average and Pennel is pretty old (but still good.) A strong DT who is a hammer in the run game isn't asking too much.

RB2/RB3 is certainly a position to monitor. McKinnon hasn't been resigned but he's not young anymore and his injury history is a little concerning. (Still love to see him back.)

Chiefs lost Willie Gay so the depth at LB'er isn't what it was last year. A smart, athletic, high upside player could be a welcome addition.

The Chiefs lost a quality back up in OG in Nick Allegretti who started and played well in the Super Bowl. Obviously depth on the OL is very important so I expect us to address that at some point on day three.

Overall this roster is set and it's absolutely STACKED!! (Best team in the Mahomes era.)

We're on the same page for sure.

Yup. Good stuff.

I’d probably target RB first. There’s some really good ones left and I think that’s where we’ll see the most bang for our buck.

Really depends who’s there.

I really don't understand how Franklin and Sanders haven't been picked.

The non PM results....I still think it is a dream after 50 years tho. Not a nightmare I had 4 years tho.

The money they were getting in free agency would make me pretty nervous about what it would cost to keep one.

Esp since a RG we paid.

Franklin had a late first round grade by PFF. IDK, something is going on there.

He's this year's Jalin Hyatt

Kiran Amedjwhatever is where I'm leaning. Troy Franklin would not receive a complaint from me either.

I could be Wrong, but is Franklin the one that could need shoulder surgery soon as the draft is over? I've heard some podcasts mention it

Good list.. Everything the Chiefs need now is rotational/depth, or future planning ready for 2025. Great place to be in.

January.

It's Lamar. Compare his postseason to regular season numbers

When did Ballard turn into a bad ass? He seemed like a prim and proper guy when he was here. I like the new greasy foul mouthed Ballard.
