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. I'll also be starting player threads for each of our picks as they are made, with videos and notable stats/takes in the OP. These separate threads will be made as soon as the news breaks, outside of this thread. I will link the threads below. Pure knee-jerk gold to reference in the future.
Happy NFL Draft Day...looking forward to covering another Chiefs Draft Day where they serve us the filet mignons tonight. Here is hoping they take a wide receiver at 32 and that that receiver is none other than FSU's All-American, Keon Coleman. That is all. pic.twitter.com/nRFZ7s34MQ

That's all it comes down to for me.
It's not like they're unaware that drafting a project like Mims might be bumpy and it might not give us our tried-and-true LT of the future on day 1. But - especially if they trade up to get him - it would certainly indicate that he's their guy and they think very, very, very highly of him.
I want a WR in round 1. But I really just want us to trade up to get some player we really want. Last year's FAU pick was so underwhelming after the run on good players in the 20s that I'm hoping for something a bit more exciting this time around.
There's plenty to like about Coleman. He has some very special elements to his game. Not "my guy" per se, but i'd think there's good reasons to be excited about him if he were the Chiefs pick.
However, i do think he's a 2nd round talent, and i think he goes in the 1st half of the 2nd at the latest. So is it better to take that guy at 32, or trade up in the 2nd? Idk.... [Reply]

He's never going for 1300 yards, he's a 65 catch 700 yard 6 TD receiver.
So best case, his ceiling for production is peak Mecole Hardman. [Reply]
