*****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.

I just pray Burkholder and the docs are smarter than the rest of the league's med staff

Or a Tanya Harding on Saquon from the sidelines

Worth the risk. I’m assuming that team doctors have rated his knee on the plus side of Joe Namath.

[Wisconsin_Chief]

I mean, you have arguably the worst OT situation in football. You can’t really complain about getting a top 10 talent at 32. Obviously, their doctors are comfortable with him.

Your ceiling on the left side with Mahomes going into his 30s with Simmons at LT and Kingsley at LG is astronomically high. There’s going to be plenty of WRs, RBs and DTs available in rounds 2-3.

It’s not a sexy pick, but it’s the kind of pick championship teams make.

Dude's got Brian Bosworth shoulders though...

And if they are wrong and they screwed the roll of the dice we just wasted a 1st round pick on a guy who could get hurt on the first play of the season.

Yep. Im sick...

[VAChief]

I wonder if Connelly was there if they still make this pick.

Very disappointing. It could have certainly put the finishing touches on whether or not the pick will pan out.

Inaccurate oversimplification of how the draft transpired. Having a pro bowl left tackle on a five-year rookie deal will be part of the Chiefs’ future success.

We have wasted 1 round picks before and still won SB

I remember Carl.

Good question. My first instinct is to say I bet not. But who knows? I'm just not in a good place right now because of this pic. Very disappointing.

This will be a great thread to bump in two years...

[TambaBerry]

Yep if he doesn't get right from that injury we have failed multiple first round picks. FAU, CEH we have gotten some good ones though
