*****2025 NFL DRAFT THREAD - NO SPOILERS*****

[Dante84]

Version 2025 - PATRICK MAHOMES & THE RETURN TO GLORY

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!") or asking "questions" after the news is already out to make it seem like you're a genius guesser (ex: "Vegas gonna take player here?").
   
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.

NOTE: Like in year's past, I will be starting player threads for each of our picks as they are made, with videos and notable stats/takes in the OP.
These separate player threads will be made as soon as the news breaks, but outside of this thread. This means if you are in the lounge, you may see the player prior to the TV announcement.

I will also link the player threads below, shortly after they are drafted. Pure knee-jerk gold to reference in the future.

Here are our picks:

Round 1, #28: Josh Simmons
Round 2, #63: Omar Norman-Lott
Round 3, #66: Ashton Gillotte
Round 3, #85: Nohl Williams
Round 4, #133: Jalen Royals
Round 5, #156: Jeffrey Bassa
Round 7, #251:
Round 7, #257:

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

Here are our prior years' Draft Threads:

Hope so. That would make for a VERY entertaining first round.

It will also open the door to our Chiefs trading up to getting the player they really want, if everyone is so open to trading.

Could be a really fun night . . . . .

Henderson is considered a riser, and the Chiefs, who could be looking for more explosion in the backfield, are doing late homework on the position. pic.twitter.com/39wIeWH9uP

Being a complete back like he is it would be worth it. What’s everyone’s thoughts on the next best blitz pickup RB and fit for the pass offense after Henderson? In other words, is there another back that even comes close?

You wanna talk about a perfect fit for this offense this kid does it all. Exactly what Pat has always been missing. If they turn in the card im gonna go nuts.

My son and I were at a local event yesterday at City Stadium, which is where the Packers originally played and is now the field of one of our high school teams. We saw Mahomes' mom, it was dope!

Jumping in, wanting Luther Burden III please.


Not an MU homer, in fact the opposite.

The Old Fashioned Way

One longtime NFL assistant coach said his time with Sanders was "the worst formal interview I've ever been in in my life. He's so entitled. He takes unnecessary sacks. He never plays on time. He has horrible body language. He blames teammates. ... But the biggest thing is, he's not that good."

Hoping for a repeat success of the 21 or 22 draft.

Shockingly, I would not stand out very much. There are a lot of Chief fans here, it's fantastic to see! I ran into a few at Titletown yesterday (it's a giant park with a full size football field and tons of kids activities) and we chatted a bit.

Not sure I'm going to head down tonight as I expect it will be pure chaos, but tomorrow we're planning to head over in the mid-afternoon. I'll try to get some good pics, I can't believe how awesome everything looks.

Not a fan of taking a RB high unless they are absolutely special.

Gibbs or Brees Hall, sure.

TreVeyon Henderson would be special in this offense. He’s a perfect fit and he would immediately help this offense and team overall more than any pick we could make. He’s that good.

Unfortunately I think he’s going to Denver

The draft in general...

Fans actually at the draft will cheer as if they just won the Super Bowl regardless of who their team drafts

Draftaholics will mostly complain about some combination of who a team drafts, where they drafted them and what they could or "should" have done

Just about everyone will be cheering for whomever gets drafted once the season starts.

You think over Hampton?

Better than what we have on certain plays and downs?

Sure.

Special? I don’t see it.

Kind of what I'm thinking; would they really take him over Hampton? I suppose if they see him as a better fit, we know they will always value that over better raw talent.

Henderson is faster from what I've seen, so I think it's possible.

Payton would absolutely like something similar to Kamara again.
