Last year was a one-of-a-kind, so let's hope the luck carries over to this year, with Brett Veach at the helm for the first time.
Rules:
1. No spoiled picks in this thread, all weekend. This means that as tweets are leaking picks a few minutes before the selection is announced live, you don't post it in this thread (ex: embedded tweets), reference it in this thread (ex: Joe Slapdick says it's McCaffrey to Tampa) or hint at it (ex: "it's a RB!").
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 threads for each of our picks as they are made, with videos and notable stats/takes in the OP. Pure knee jerk gold to reference in the future.
You can never have enough pass rushers, but damnit Id rather us go after a CB, S and DL over an edge guy this year. Let Ford play his contract year and see how KPass develops and then go target an edge guy in a hopefully much deeper edge class next year...
Pass rush will help the secondary. We've got three corners that should at least be solid and Fuller could develop into a stud. A lot depends on if we get a full year of Berry and Ford. The defense has potential if we do. [Reply]

That would be a goddamn homerun. Bryan is more athletic than Chris Jones. Imagine having Ford, Houston, Jones, Tanoh and Bryan rushing the passer.
He can day 1.
man, i dunno if we have bullets to get there for Taven. Would be badass...but I wouldn't get your hopes up. [Reply]

Yea, but he also said in round 2. I can definitely see it happening if Bryan falls out of round 1, but I still think that’s unlikely. [Reply]

Is there any conformation that Galko has a source within KC's scouting department? [Reply]
