*****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, #228: Brashard Smith

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

You don't run to get lots of yards. You run situationally.

A high YPC RB is good to use on first downs and when it is 3rd and 17 and you are giving up. Since you don't want to run on 1st downs anyway when you have the 2nd best QB of all time there is no reason to use one (a high YPC back) for the Chiefs.

Stupid. This is stupid.

Pretty massive drop off after that. I just can't convince myself that Neal would matter a single bit. He's not going to do anything Pacheco can't. And less than a healthy Mitchell would.

So gimme Smith's explosion.

I was about to say the same. Smith is the guy left I'm interested in, after that I've lost interest and resigning myself to it.

Did Martinez get taken? Decided to hit the gym berm during our lull

Will you stop trolling

Neal is a better back than Pacheco. Vision and instincts way better. Love Pacheco, but he has always been a try hard JAG.

If we get a sudden trade-up it has to be for Neal

Another 7th round RB.

I would move up for Jaylen Reed. Can't believe he's still on the board.
