NFL Draft *****2021 NFL DRAFT THREAD - NO SPOILERS***** - Page 202

Version 2021 - REVENGE TOUR EDITION

Let's ****ing do this.

Rules for once the draft begins:

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 So and So to Green Bay) 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 player 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.

Here is our current pick order:

Round 2 - Pick No. 58: Nick Bolton, LB, Missouri
Round 2 - Pick No. 63: Creed Humphrey, C, Oklahoma
Round 4 - Pick No. 144: Joshua Kaindoh, Edge, Florida State
Round 5 - Pick No. 162: Noah Gray, TE, Duke
Round 5 - Pick No. 181: Cornell Powell, WR, Clemson
Round 6 - Pick No. 226: Trey Smith, G, Tennessee

Here is a list of the prospects the Chiefs have shown interest in this year.

I would as long as he’s medically cleared.

I’m quite pleased with this draft. Like I said before, not a lot of sex appeal but this was all about solidifying the team. They got some anchor pieces early and some high upside chess pieces late.

Maybe not the home run people wanted but a solid triple and with this team’s current situation, they’re setup to score.

LOVE the OP (on the Hill, of course).

I get that in the short-term but since the Buck position is the Will, I'm still not completely understanding why we wouldn't try to have him play Will full time and develop a full time Sam LB for run downs.

Because you have a guy in Gay that can do both. It allows you to use more personnel packages without having to use subs. A big thing with Spags is not locking guys in. Gay can play the sam and the buck which allows them to mask coverages and do other things to confuse opposing offenses.
