The Broncos all out blitzed him several times and Mahomes made excellent plays. He was a badass against Von/Barrett in week 17 last year.

The Chiefs are going to play 5 wide and force Denver to only rush 4. And if Denver is stupid enough to leave single coverage on Kelce/Hill/Watkins, Mahomes will destroy your secondary.

One of those three will always be open if they are single covered.

PFF take on a few Donko picks...interesting

The question for Chubb is whether or not he’ll ever become an elite pass-rusher as his peak college pass-rush grade of 86.4 from last season is more indicative of a mid-tier rusher at the next level.

Freeman ranked 14th in elusive rating last season at 76.1....Hunt was #2 the year before.

They gave the Donks a "good" rating...unlike all the drooling fanboys on other sites.

That's true, but I don't see anyone posting pictures of Keenum in here to strike fear in the hearts of KC fans.

Hmm. So KnowShits Bible doesn't talk too favorably about Chubb. I guess that KnowShit is going to have to figure out how to spin that one now.

We're not trying to strike fear into you guys. We just want you to be prepared for what's about to be unleashed on your pitiful team and the rest of the league. I'm glad to hear that those videos strike fear into you guys though. It means that you're paying attention.

Thats how I see it. A good solid draft with solid players and most likely not elite players.

Denzel Ward looks ****ing amazing

I think the Browns did the right thing with that pick. I was worried Donkos were going to pick him and instill a great secondary like they had in 15 and 16.

Nope.

And then when you realize that their entire draft was based upon correcting past draft **** up's, it loses it's zing...

I said it before, I loved Chubb (especially in a weak class), but he’s not going to be an elite pass rusher.

He’s a real safe bet to be a great against the run and a solid pass rusher though.

The odds of Sutton and Hamilton replacing two pro-bowl WRs without a major drop-off is pretty low. The odds of Freeman being the 9th highest rusher arent very good either.

Donkos spent the draft getting replacements for some of their best players...good luck breaking even on that front.

That was my impression. Not a bad year to draft and build depth. Veach knows what he's doing.

From Bob McGinn...

1. BRADLEY CHUBB, North Carolina State (6-4 ½, 270, 4.66, 1): Consensus pick as the best defensive player in the draft. “I did five games on him but I knew what he was in five plays,” one scout said. “There’s the Clowney’s, the Garrett’s and now the Chubb’s. They’re the great ones … He’s hard to pin down because he’s so slippery with his feet. He runs 4.66, which is good-plus, not great. But he’s so much quicker than he is fast. I mean, this guy is a cat. He could play in the 3-4, too.” Jadeveon Clowney (6-5 ½, 266, 4.52) was the first pick in 2014. Myles Garrett (6-4 ½, 270, 4.64) was the first pick in ’17. Garrett’s arms were 35 ¼ inches, Clowney’s were 34 ½ and Chubb’s were 34. “Little bit like Garrett but probably has a little more grit,” a second scout said. “He’s got a full game. Plays hard. Sets the edge. Has range. Physical, strong, quick, fast as a rusher. He’s long. He can bend. Good contact balance. (Jason) Pierre-Paul (6-4 ½, 266, 4.72) was probably a freakier athlete but this guy is ready to go.” Finished with 204 tackles (60 for loss), 26 sacks and nine forced fumbles in 49 games (38 starts). Scored 19 on the 50-question Wonderlic intelligence test. “He’s got a little stiffness but he’s OK,” said a third scout. “He’s a 4-3 right end. He’s got tenacity in his heart. I like that.” From Marietta, Ga.
