I’m going to be patient with Worthy and Wiley, so I view whatever good stuff they can bring to the table year one as frosting on the cake.
Yeah, I'd say he's the one we NEED to pan out the most right? [Reply]
Worthy excites me. Nice to see some lethal speed back on the offense. Supposed to be a helluva ball tracker too. With Mahomes throwing to him...holy shit this dude could go the fuck OFF this year.
Wiley intrigues me. He's important, as he may be the new Trav, or as close as you can get.
Kingsley because by all accounts he could have gone in the 1st to us, and instead we get him at the end of the 2nd. He's a big dude. If he works out...we're good to go at that position for a long time. [Reply]

I agree with that mostly out of the nature of the position. It's one position that needs to be filled by one guy. There's no committee or rotation or corps of LTs like you have with WR. Plus we've already seen the team win a Super Bowl without great WR play. If LT quality isn't reasonable bare minimum, we've seen what happens, and it's not pretty. [Reply]
Insanely tough choice because I think highly of all of the top 5 picks. I mocked Worthy and Wiley so much this season and I feel like I have more expectations than excitement with those two. In the end, I went with Suamataia. I didn't think we had a shot to get the kid outside of taking him in the 1st and there could be growing pains, but he could be a legitimate franchise LT. If we can get that from a guy taken in the late 2nd, it's a major win no matter what the rest do. Filling pillar positions at a value is incredibly difficult. [Reply]
Hadden is my sleeper here. Would be great for Veach to find another quality DB late and make us feel better about the Sneed trade. I think we found another one.
Kingsley was my pick though. If that pick hits, it solves a major need for years to come. Sign me up for a young LT to solidify the OL for the middle third of Mahomes’s career. [Reply]
I know it's a cop out, but I am excited for most of our draft picks, and some of UDFAs.
I really think that Worthy and Wiley are going to make a big impact on the offense, and I think Suamataia is going to have growing pains, but by the end of the season we will all see his potential starting to pay off.
And I think we have at least 2, but maybe 3 UDFAs that could make an impact this season.
I feel like Jacobs and Lovett could have been drafted, and we may actually have to elevate them from the PS or lose them at some point this season, however, I wouldn't rule out either making the initial 60 man roster.
I think that Bailey has an outside chance to make the team, or hang out on the PS. He is just an Andy Reid type player. Also, Phillip Brooks is an Andy Reid type player, and I would love to see him get a chance. He couldn't be worse than Skyy Moore.
A couple of players I think could be great developmental PS guys for the future are OL Ethan Driskell, and TE Baylor Cupp. I feel like Driskell has lots of upside, and it will be interesting to see if they move Baylor Cupp to tackle or guard, or really use him as a TE. He really isn't a pass catcher, and is really just a blocker, so a move to OL seems logical, but a Jason Dunn type TE could work as well. [Reply]

Can't wait to hear Punt God give the commencement speech at SDSU in a few years. Him and Butler should have some interesting conversations about the moral degradation of society. [Reply]
