I remember most thinking it was a really strong draft, definitely at the top and deeper at areas we needed help in. I haven't formed any opinions yet on this year's class, but I don't recall anyone saying last year's class was bad. For the most part I remember folks saying this may be the last truly loaded class we see for a while as it was the end of the COVID classes and maybe the last class before the NIL money makes staying put cost-effective. (By the way, Emeka Egbuka looks pretty much exactly the same as he looked last year. Still looks like a damn nice option for us)

Since the Chiefs obviously aren't picking early, people calling this a shit draft because the QBs suck has literally nothing to do with us. |

Definitely a rental. He will seek and get a major long term deal from someone next year. It wont be us. Thats not the Veach way.

This is the perfect low risk/high reward trade. KC helps their chances this year without giving up a ton of future picks. Great move by Veach.

Well, I guess this explains why they had no interest in MVS!

Another bit of good news is, this buys us another week to evaluate further. I feel like we were really up against the gun this week with Juju out.
If a week goes by and it's clear Juju isn't progressing quickly, and more teams get comfortable with selling and lower their asking prices, and another week of remaining '24 comp falls off the books, perhaps we dip back in and grab a Demarcus Robinson or someone else.

Cause then you aren't dealing with the headache of trying to get the deal done right now mid-season and all that might come with that. It'd be tremendous to get to the draft and have Johnson, Hollywood, Rice, Worthy and JuJu all rostered. |

I disagree and I think it's mostly about the QB position, because that's all people care about when they're judging the top of a class. Last edited by staylor26; 10-23-2024 at 10:24 AM.. |

But who grades a draft based on its strength after the top 100? I mean I just look specifically at WR, for instance. WR 10 last year was, depending on the source, Pearsall, Coleman, Worthy, maybe Mitchell or McConkey. The board for most folks went 10-12 deep with guys considered a possible 1st round WR. This year WR10 may be, what, a 3rd round pick? I think this year's draft is definitely a pretty significant step below last year's draft. And I think the consensus opinion on last season's draft was always that it was a pretty damn strong one. I just look at someone like Theo Wease out of Mizzou - he was going to MAYBE work his way into the top 20 of the WR class, IMO. Around that Brenden Rice range. This year he's looking like he could be as high as 10-12.

Which means the talent, especially in the middle rounds will not be as deep. |

My point was that both narratives are silly and have no actual impact on the Chiefs. |
