NFL Draft *****2021 NFL DRAFT THREAD - NO SPOILERS***** - Page 149

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.

If you think Bolton is going to be out there a ton next year, you're kidding yourself.

He's the new MLB and it's going to be a full year before he fully assumes the role.

And if you think they’ve drafted a LB in the 2nd in back to back drafts to trot Niemann out there again, you’re crazy.

Yep.

Surely the coaches has to know that Niemann is a huge ass liability at this point. They can't be this dense....

Niemann played 466 snaps last year. Wilson played 526. Hitchens 601.

Gay played 267.

Bolton will eventually replace Hitchens but it won't be in 2021.

:-)

Bolton doesn't even play the same position as Niemann. People are getting their hopes up for something that's not going to happen, especially not right away.

Maybe, but Bolton played in over 30 games in college. Gay barely played a single season. Not much of a comparison there.
