*****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.

The bottom of his asshole can fall out and rot. **** anything remotely associated with Denver.

Especially that loser bitch.

Brooks is decent this late. Who’s left?

[xztop123]

Any running backs we can use for returns and hope he learns playbook?

Its just getting tiresome always having to dumpster dive instead of grabbing an elite player

I'd rather sink draft capital and cap space into the trenches and have a committee of backs than devote it to a rb.

There are a few elite rbs, and they probably will give you production above their cap hit. What I don't want is to be saddled down with a next tier RB getting overpaid when we all know that the line play is critical to their success outside a handful of rbs each decade. (Besides, we're talking about 4th round or later guys here anyway, and I thought our TE / middle of the field pass coverage last year was a bigger issue than the RBs) The bargain bin rbs isn't the magical missing thing, but I would have loved if one fell by dumb luck, but does it make sense to chase one? No, that's the exact opposite smart thing to do unless you have someone you see something in and covet.

If they solved their LT problem for the next decade, they just pulled off a minor miracle and they should install a glory hole in Brett's office and put a bronze statute of him outside Arrowhead.

Proly just gonna pick the left over Random’s who played for Oregon or Ohio state

I told yall

But BWillie is always wrong

[FloridaMan88]

Veach said pre-draft they were planning to draft an RB.

Maybe that was a smokescreen, but it didn’t seem like it based on need and how deep the draft was at RB.

Maybe this means a trade for a veteran RB will be in the works.

The argument is that we’re in win now mode and it’s unlikely that Simmons starts until mid season at the ansolute best. And even then we wasted a bunch of money on the other left tackle

Dumb. Really dumb.

[FloridaMan88]

These foreign fans announcing picks are impossible to understand.

I'm sure they had plans, it just worked out this way. Can't always get what you want.

Great argument. Stunning.

If we take treyvon we now have a pass catching rb day one with equal speed to Pacheco and better vision.

If we take Ohio state left guard we have our starting left guard as long as we need and the team has a better chance of being improved on opening day. Is this wrong? Or short sighted

[xztop123]

Since you’re so high IQ. tell me which player that we drafted starts opening day at his position.

There are certainly merits to your line of thinking, investing in the trenches through the draft is rarely a bad thing

I just believe Mahomes deserves an elite guy back there for once, it would truly unlock this entire offense IMO... not to mention backs are mostly what got me into football as a kid, so I'm kinda biased that way

Payton
Dorsett
Charles
Delaney

Just imagine the havoc a guy like that could create alongside all of our other weapons...

Let's go with incredibly short sighted.
