Dude my boner is fucking enormous for this guy. And I didn't give too much of shit about him 5 hours ago. Just listening to his mindset will show you that we've got a stud back there for a while. His tape is good too. [Reply]

I never researched any draft prospects this year.
After reviewing Juan's film, id say we have db who can actually make a tackle for once.
Looks like a ball hawk, and looks like he should have been picked early 2nd or late first time will tell... great value late 2nd for sure [Reply]

Thornhill wants to play football so badly that he basically said he’ll play every position in the secondary & be the Chiefs’ kicker if needed.” —Nate Taylor

Take this with a grain of salt, since I'm no expert, just an avid student of the game, but there are still some concerns at LB and corner. If the LBs play no better than they did last year, and whoever is the no. 2CB (likely Ward?) plays no better either, we're probably a 10th or 12th best defense. Likely more than good enough to go to the SB though.
In two years, if this unit stays together and progresses . . . it might be a top 5 or better. It could be the best Chiefs D I've ever seen anyway. [Reply]

This kid is going to make quarterbacks lives difficult and may pick off Rivers 657 times per game.
Rivers is going to literally shit himself when he sees Khalen Saunders, Chris Jones and Frank Clark on the line and Honey Badger/Thornhill roaming the middle of the field.
He may die if PP also breaks out of the huddle. [Reply]
