Yep. Hope they are both HOF

Hope the teams become bigtime rivals. Enough Pats vs. Colts/Broncos/Steelers


Bring on Chiefs-Texans

I don't care if he fails or not. I'm saying he will. That's my prediction.

The NFL Draft is over, so of course sites are starting to put out their power rankings. Bleacher Report’s power rankings has the Kansas City Chiefs at number nine.

Spoiler!

Whenever a key event happens during the NFL offseason, the popular thing to do these days is to release power rankings after said event happens. That’s the case with the 2018 NFL Draft, which just wrapped up this past weekend.

With the draft over, Chris Sims of Bleacher Report released his power rankings after teams added new, young talent to their rosters. The Kansas City Chiefs were ranked quite high, sitting ninth on these particular power rankings.

9. Kansas City Chiefs
The big thing to watch with the Kansas City Chiefs this year will be the switch to Patrick Mahomes at quarterback. I'm excited about it because Mahomes has Brett Favre-type ability and can be one of the best passers in the league early.

The Chiefs had a phenomenal free agency too. Adding Sammy Watkins gives Mahomes another downfield target, and bringing in Kendall Fuller and Anthony Hitchens should help improve the defense. I know Kansas City lost Marcus Peters, but I believe the defense will be better.

Kansas City didn't have a first-round pick but still landed two of the best defensive tackles in the draft in Breeland Speaks and Derrick Nnadi. The Chiefs needed depth and talent up front, and they got it.

If the defense can take even a small step forward, the Chiefs will be extremely dangerous. With Mahomes at the helm, the offense is going to be one of the most explosive in football.

The blurb about the Chiefs discussed mostly how the future of the Chiefs depends on Patrick Mahomes and Sims isn’t lying. We all know that Mahomes is the key to whether the Chiefs are good for the next decade or not. If he’s good, the Chiefs will be primed for success for a long time. If Mahomes fails, however, then it’s back to the drawing board in a few years.

Here were two sentences that stood out to me in this particular blurb,

If the defense can take even a small step forward, the Chiefs will be extremely dangerous. With Mahomes at the helm, the offense is going to be one of the most explosive in football.

That describes the Chiefs to a tee. The offense, barring any injuries, should be on fire this year and it’ll be the defense that we’ll all be complaining about week after week. Just picture this though – What if the defense isn’t as bad as we think it’ll be? How good could the Chiefs be then?

The national pundits all seem to agree that Mahomes is going to be good and the offense will be clicking on all cylinders. It’s an exciting time for Chiefs Kingdom.

As for the rest of the rankings, the Chiefs were the highest ranked AFC West team. The Chargers came in at 12th, the Raiders 24th, and the Broncos 26th.

The teams ahead of the Chiefs in the NFC were the Eagles, Rams, Vikings, Saints, Panthers and in the AFC were the Patriots, Jaguars and the Steelers.

The Chiefs play four of those teams in 2018.

Even though these power rankings are meaningless even during the season itself, it’s still nice to see the Kansas City Chiefs getting the respect they deserve this offseason. They may not have had a first round pick, but they still added good talent in this draft and should be able to stay in the top ten when it comes to best teams in the league.

Do you think ninth is too high, too low, or just right for the Kansas City Chiefs right now?

Because I want to be right that no successful NFL QB can only throw 48mph.

Watson will be successful when he can be as accurate as Drew Brees.

He's not, and accuracy is a very difficult thing to develop. It can be done, but it takes awhile.

Josh Allen will be interesting to watch.

Whoa? He flipped his take on Mahomes today? Nice cover up for when he's successful if so.

He switched?

If so, it's enough to make me want to fly to KC and introduce myself.

[Mother****erJones]

I meant in a bad way guys. Calling Mahomes a mistake if he doesn’t win the division.

[KCrockaholic]

Doesn’t win the division his first year as starter = failure. Ok. I honestly never listen to 810 but Keitzman sounds like the most ignorant sack of shit in KC media.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

If I was Mahomes, I’d stop taking those interviews with his ass. Why should he waste his time to go on there and bring attention to his program just so KK can kiss his ass and hide his real thoughts? If you’re gonna be that guy, the Mahomes hater, then own the shit when you have him on the show or .

Such a goofy view of things. Personally I expect them to win the West, but he’s a mistake if they don’t? What the hell has the division title gotten us the past two years in the playoffs, KK?

We want Super Bowls. Plain and simple.
