*****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.

Ehhhhhhh. Their draft has been good but their FA class was pretty meh.

There are a half-dozen guys on the board in the 4.3/low 4.4s. Including the guy he wanted (Lane).

And hey, maybe Brown was still dinged up - but his legs shoulda been fine and he definitely wasn't moving the needle much.

I mean the biggest issue may have nothing to do with the WR room and everything to do with offensive design. We still ran through Kelce. And the guy is running in quicksand these days.

You could probably run an offense with the personnel we have that gets itself into open space better by just not running it through TK anymore. Because on paper there does appear to be enough speed there.

But in the field, I just have a hard time saying that it didnt look DAMN slow.

Believe it for RB. No so much for WR

Chiefs Sr. Director of Player Personnel Mike Bradway on RB and WR: "There were some high-end running backs that went. I like the depth of the position and think there's going to be good depth there tomorrow. Same with wide receiver. We like the way it looks. We're not going to…

They still aren't winning again any time soon.

[BryanBusby]

Now for a very under the radar but excellent draft so far, the Arizona Cardinals are ****ing crushing it.

Nolen, Will Johnson and Burch are 3 great picks on that defense.

Go draft Tuten and that 4.32 speed tomorrow.

He lacks vision and fumbles

No reason to draft a RB this year. Draft one next year to replace Pacheco. No need this year.

So glad the Chiefs didn't listen to you guys and waste a Top 3 Round pick on running back.

[el borracho]

Well, we can debate about the specific players but the positions Veach drafted are pretty unassailable. All positions of need, all strengths of this particular draft.

[bigjosh]

I love how the defense is looking. High potential players at positions that have:
- aging veterans
-upcoming free agents

I think all three defensive picks will contribute day 1.

Im ecstatic if we come away from today wit guys like damien martinez and jaylin conyers

Why do all my local kids end up playing for teams I don’t like? Landon Jackson to the Bills.

No need to take one early, I agree, but absolutely want one today.

YOU see a full RB room, I see a lack of juice. I'd like a BETTER option than high mileage Hunt and Pacheco.

[FloridaMan88]

Anyone who thinks the Chiefs RB situation is fine as is, is completely ignoring the fact that the Chiefs longest run last season was 34 yards.

That’s historically awful.

I wasn't just that. They had like 17 plays all season of over 15 yards. Like you said, historically bad.

I'm really pleased with the Chiefs' draft so far. It all hinges on Simmons. If he becomes the starting LT, this draft looks like a home run. I really love what they did with drafting defense.

[RunKC]

LT, explosive playmakers, CB and pass rush

I thought those were our biggest glaring weaknesses. We’ve addressed 3 of 4 in a big way. I hope we address WR and RB today.

Get more speed and playmaking ability
