A guy who had 377 yards receiving last year and a 4th round pick are going to feast!

I remember the Chargers and Raiders running single high last year in the games we scored 31 points

Exodus of talent from a defense that was already bad.

Bottom half OL.

ZERO stars on offense.

Rookie QB who threw a third of his passes behind the line of scrimmage and got eaten alive by the SEC.

Q Joe: "I have extremely high expectations"

You can't make it up. :-)

Coverage Against profile for the @Chiefs offense last year. Teams played a lot more man (Cover 0, Cover 1) than in years past, and vs. the League average. pic.twitter.com/a5aIryy2VQ

In other words, two guys who have proven absolutely nothing.

Bet you that 34-35 year old Kelce will have more yards than both of them combined.

There’s a reason he left the SEC. Real college defenses cooked him

Interesting videos showing the flaws in Bo Montana.

From Mel Kiper:

Denver Broncos: C+
Top needs entering the draft: Quarterback, cornerback, edge defender

A year after picking just three times in the top five rounds, the Broncos were without their Round 2 pick in this draft. I never felt confident they'd take a quarterback at No. 12; they had too many roster questions to reach for a passer, too many holes to fill. Right? I thought they'd either take the best available cornerback there or trade down to build up their capital. If they really wanted to add a passer to compete with Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson, they could have landed one later in Round 1.

And I was wrong. Coach Sean Payton & Co. saw the run on quarterbacks -- five in the top 10 -- and stood pat, selecting Bo Nix (12). I wrote at length about the move on Thursday, but to sum it up: That's way too high for Nix, who put up massive numbers at Oregon but played in an offense in which he wasn't asked to go through read progressions. There's a ton of risk here. No one will remember that this pick was questioned if Nix becomes an immediate star, but Payton's Denver tenure is now tied to a passer with question marks...
