*****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.

Well thank God for that! Great pick

[BryanBusby]

It's over folks

[Rain Man]

I kind of wanted the excitement of having two more picks.

[smithandrew051]

A lot to like in this draft if Simmons works out

[Dunerdr]

ABC just skipped the pick entirely **** me. Almost went the whole draft without KC getting that treatment.

[Couch-Potato]

What a great ****ing draft!!! Simmon, Williams, and Smith were all “my guys”… LOVE IT!

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.

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.

Told y'all.

There was no reason to take a RB in the 5th.

And we got the only one left at that point that might actually matter.

[Mecca]

I'd like to think maybe Allen and Bond will be UDFAs and we can add them.

[smithandrew051]

Hit every need without a disgusting reach, right?

Potential LT.
2 guys who can get after it on the DL.
Versatile LB.
WR who feels Chiefy as some have said.
Another CB who can play right away.
RB with burst.

I just really hope Simmons works out.

Johnny Walker would be a great addition.

This is why you don’t draft RBs early.
