It’s a fun dramatic media story. Just to add, the Chiefs did not have a great draft. I love Jaden Hicks and I think that he was their best pick. The linemen they added are meh and they gave up a third to move up a few spots. The TE is interesting. If Worthy is good, it’s fine. I would not trade our draft for theirs.

I think it makes a ton of sense to churn through late round RBs for 4 year rookie contracts and never pay any of them. In that case, his age really does not matter. The tread on the tire doesn’t matter. What does matter is that there is a maturity in his game and his body that make him plug and play and very cheap labor for the next 4 years.

I think it makes sense to check in on Simmons, Quandre Diggs, Eddie Jackson as possible starters. That’s if you want a true full time starter. Outside of those 3 I don’t see any true starters better than what we have. But I do think we are actually ok with Edwards, Bishop, Rapp. Lewis would be the fourth. I am not a Lewis guy, but they clearly are and he offers position flexibility. Bishop is going to start somewhere imo. You could add some functional young depth like a Terrell Burgess who is coming out of the Washington system, so would be familiar with the concepts here. He is also excellent on special teams. Another guy who makes sense on some level for depth is Will Harris. He has position flexibilty as a safety, outside corner or nickel where he has played predominately the last couple of years. So I think there could be room to add a starter if the price is right and there are some opportunities to add depth out there.

This is why I don’t bet. Didin’t have Quintez Chephus on my bingo card

So in my opinion, your starting center does not have to be versatile. He can be a center only guy. However, your backup center cannot be a center only guy, he should really have position flexibility. Let’s say McGovern starts at center and Edwards at LG and lets say Edwards gets hurt…this regime is not going to want to move their starting center over to guard and stick Van Pran in there in the middle of a game. That just becomes a messy move. If it becomes a long term injury, you can make that switch during the week. Van Pran either needs to win the center job, or needs to prove he can do enough at guard to get us out of a game. I do not think he has a chance to start at LG. Cross training him makes a ton of sense in that regard, but this is a polished center who I do think has a chance to start right away at center.

I love that comp

To me, they believe Coleman is their X, Samuel is the Z or the other receiver and Shakir is the slot. Beane has talked in the past about the “4” that they look for and that was Harty last year. A guy who can play inside and outside, kind of knows all the positions and if he comes with return ability, even better. That is still missing from the roster, though KJ Hamler could fill that role. Mecole Hardman makes the most sense with the speed and return ability. I am guessing he is a bit too expensive. This would also be pretty high profile so I feel like someone would have reported it. But I like that fit. Jamal Agnew is probably in the same category, same type of player with a ton of return ability as well. He’s got all pro return ability. Kind of a poor man’s Hardman. Similar size and speed, Agnew is a bit older. If I were a betting man, I would say Agnew was here today. With the new rules for kickoff this would be a dynamite add. I am a Jalen Guyton guy. Good size and speed combination. He tore the ACL a couple of years ago so should be fully healthy at this point. Small guy who is stupid fast and fills that “4” role that Harty was in and would be cheap is Scotty Miller. 4.28 with some big play ability when he was with Tampa. MVS makes some level of sense. He, like Chark are big and fast so they fit. but both are probably out of the price range.

Really great feet. Nice punch and gather. Didn’t know much about him, but he’s definitely interesting and this is the type of guy Kromer can mold.

After how things went down last year I hope they carry 6. But this dude is much cheaper than a guy like Matekevich and has way more upside.

FWIW I don’t think Browning has a chance to unseat Martin, but he holds, kicks FGs, punts, and handles kickoffs, so he’s interesting. He was Ariza’s holder before taking over the job.

Man people were excited for that one Yes! Hopefully he keeps his pants on.

He’s better than a lot of the guys drafted in those last couple of rounds.

Everybody happy now? We got a receiver named Xavier!

Ryan Rekhow is interesting and probably draftable. Matthew Hayball as well. He’s a lefty.

McGovern is going to start. Van Pran would have to beat out Edwards/Collins imo and McGovern goes back to guard. I love Edwards, but I do think Van Pran has a chance to push to start.
