*****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.

He took the TYPE of player I wanted even then.

Honestly I think I was about perfectly dialed into the chiefs outlook on the players in this draft.

I just wouldn't have taken that risk in the 1st.

Seems like the Chiefs elected to draft high ceiling, high potential athletes in several places in this draft. Cant blame them, if they produce, its a big win! Filled several places of need for this team, possibly. Im ready for training camp to start, to see what we've got!

I really want coobie Bryant

But I suppose JuJu and Brown are gone after this season so he could find playing time then.

2026: Rice, Worthy, Bond, Royals…I guess I’m talking myself into it lol

I could see Brown possibly sticking around if he can log more snaps this year and has the right price in mind. Juju might be in a wheelchair by 2026, yes.

Nobody ever brings him up but love Luke Grimm from KU as possible UDFA

If I'm bringing in a receiver with an eye on the practice squad it's Restrepo or Wease.

Several good KU UDFAs… OT Logan Brown, CB Kobe Bryant, CB Melo Dotson… I want all these guys!

See I think everyone they grabbed can point to at least being a niche contributor. I don't think there's actually a ton of risk in any of their picks apart from Simmons and maybe Royals.

I would love to see Wease get a shot....

Wouldn't mind seeing Nate Noel be invited as a UDFA

[BryanBusby]

Would like to see some OL and DB depth from the UDFA pool and maybe a little more DL.

[Mosbonian]

Lachey just got picked...

Bumping again as the draft is just about over!

[RunKC]

I think every single pick could make an impact this year, Bassa and Smith likely on ST’s. It’s gonna look a lot like 2022 IMO.

It feels so good having smart people run this franchise

[Anyong Bluth]

I'd love to sign Cobee Bryant, please.

Thank you.

KU has a legit handful of guys that are really good still available

[smithandrew051]

Call Logan Brown immediately.

Given the outcome of the draft and the other picks, that only lends credit to them having thoroughly done their homework unless people think they spent the least amount of time scouting their 1st round selection and it appears he was their plan for quite some time?
