*****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.

Especially after Reid and Veach acknowledged the lack of being able to lean on the running game as a real problem, not coming away with one 5 rounds in is a choice.

That’s a little much. Pacheco will return to pre-injury form, and Hunt will come into the season in much better football shape than last season. Mitchell could be fun if healthy also.

Let’s see what they tack on in the 7th.

I think milroe would be the best runner on the team day 1

If we wait until the 7th for a linebacker, I’d take a swing on Kain Medrano.

He sucks at football, but he’s super athletic. Maybe you can coach him up.

Had a feeling about Bassa. I like that pick.

Drafting all backups is boring but the sign of a good team I guess

They will draft someone like Ollie Gordon and people will chill out.

I just can’t fathom why this team refuses to give Mahomes the absolute gift that a decent running game would bring him. It’s a little ridiculous at this point. CEH has clearly scarred them for life.

I’m not sure anything left offered any upgrades. They could also add a free agent if they think they need another body. It all comes down to health. Can Pacheco and Mitchell stay healthy. Dobbins is still out there as a free agent, so is Chubb.

I like or accept all picks in isolation, but not getting a RB, with what we have, is pretty poor. Guess there's time but what's going to be left, realistically?

[xztop123]

It’s funny cuz in hs the best athlete typically plays running back. But financially it’s a pretty horrible choice given the current state of nfl dynamics.

I don't understand their thinking honestly. A great running game unlocks this offense but right now we have the worst RB room in the NFL.

You also can't have Mahomes continually be your leading rusher. I don't get it.

UDFA RBs must be as thick as ticks

I just can’t believe we’re passing on all of the rb’s.

Still could pair our 7ths to move up for one. But not giving my hopes up

I think the reason we're passing on RB now is that there's just not a lot of separation between them.

And a lot have come off so there are likely fewer teams still inclined to take one.

Think of it like taking a TE in fantasy football. You can take one of the top 3 in the first 5 rounds. Or take one from 4-8 in the next 4-5 rounds. Then you might as well just wait until the last round to grab another. Nobody else is taking one and there's not much of a difference either way.
