Noooooo doubt!! I drove to Vegas to watch the draft with my boys last year. Got a hotel room and had to wake up at 4am to drive back to St George for work the next morning. I was going to do it again this year….but thought better of it. I’ll watch it in the man cave for the first time in a couple decades

The Thiefs double down on OL and select Tate Rutledge- OG- UGA. Josh Simmons and Tate Rutledge make up the new left side of the KC OL. @Mike in Horseheads is on the clock

Good one- sanders was going to be the Thief’s pick. hold

I feel he’s destined to be a Bill

As the GM of the KC Thiefs, I propose a trade to the Bills. Thiefs receive pick 62- Bills recieve all of the Thiefs 2026, 2027 and 2028 draft picks. And Steve Spagnuolo.

If we lock him up: He’ll be worth it if we win a Super Bowl. If we don’t, he won’t be worth it.

Imagine having both Grant and Harmon on the board and they take a corner? 😳 But rest easy- its my belief that the top 4 DTs will all be off the board in rd 1- likely before 30

That’s where we differ- I think Collins is more like Jordan Phillips than Sanders is. I probably hold Sanders in higher regard than most when it comes to pure 3T disruptive play. I do like the thought of lining up Collins next to Grant in certain situations, but give me the guy who specializes in making plays in the backfield. Collins is a guy I’d be happy with in rd 2 in every case- except this one.

Torn between Sanders and the WRs. I think Harris is the better WR but i’m a huge fan of watching Royals. I’ll go with Harris due to the size component. Not sure why you guys want to double down on 1T and draft Collins here. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I think sanders would be better for our D after the drafting of Grant

I’m not against drafting one either, but we’d be neglecting one of our biggest needs- someone to keep the opposition off of our mini injury prone LBs that at made to fly around. I don’t consider Burch and Sawyer DTs and I wouldn’t draft Phillips in rd 2. Looks like we just differ in our opinions of what this team needs most on D. To me, DTs that hold their ground vs doubles and have the ability to get after the QB are more valuable than corners. If you can’t move the QB off his spot- it doesn’t matter who’s covering. It’s my opinion our lack of pass rush has led to our demise the last handful of seasons. I think a legit dual threat DT would have an greater impact on our defense. But I suppose some can say the cornerback play is of equal blame.

Yet we said the same exact thing but in reverse in 1.0. There weren’t any Dts worth a dam and Porter was there waving at us. Everyone just had to have Amos and we drafted a safety and a 3T in rd 2. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Use one 4th to move up in rd 2 and the other packaged with later picks to move up in rd 4. I have a feeling he may go in rd 3 though.

Which works for me. My point in all of this is that I think it would be a mistake to pass on Grant or Harmon because they are the only 2 1T, that may be available to us, that have the pass rush upside. Maybe Tyliek can push the pocket some and I’d be ok with drafting him in rd 2…. But we’d likely have yo trade up for him too. That said- if we’re going to have to trade up in rd 2- I’d rather it be for a corner while taking grant or Harmon rd 1.

Does that mean that Harmon can’t play 1T or does that mean that they had 2 capable DTs and played both of them? Caldwell certainly isn’t a candidate for the 3T. He looks capable to me from what I’ve seen. You don’t think so? Pretty much every scouting report I’ve read says that he can 2 gap, is very stout and tough to move. He’s just not a good finisher vs the run- more of a clogger.

Well, you are proving my point. This is why we shouldn’t pass on the opportunity to land Grant or Harmon. I think both of them have pass rush upside along with the ability to be the run stuffer we need. I don’t think we should be looking for another 3T or any pure pass rushing DT.

He’s my pick too, but not at 62. If we draft 2 positions before corner, we best not miss on the guy we want. I have a feeling all the 1Ts with the slightest pass rush ability and starting caliber CBs are going to be selected before our picks. No clue which one- but I’d be happy with any of them if we can land Grant or Harmon in rd 1

And which DT to you land when Grant inevitably gets drafted before our pick? it seems to me that we’re going to have to trade up in rd 2 if we want to land a CB and a DT that we’d be happy with. I think there will be a handful of corners we’d be ok with in mid rd 2- I really only see 1 DT (Tyliek) and he might go rd 1 too. The more I watch Collins, the more I think he’s just a rotational guy with no pass rush. Which other 1T capable DTs will be there for us in rd 2 if we don’t move up? CJ West? Based on the draft class- I think it would be a mistake to pass on Grant or Harmon if either are available @ 30. Trade up for one of the corners.

I have always disliked Doug Flukie

Yeah, I couldn’t believe he was still available. I was about to accept your trade but thought to myself “hmmm let me just check to see if Simmons is still available”. Made it easy to decline the offer.

The KC Theifs (sp- yes I know) select Josh Simmons OT- Ohio St. Obvious massive need still imo. Watching lots of niner games, I’m of the belief that Jaylon Moore is a backup caliber LT. I hope this doesn’t happen irl

Grant is the obvious choice imo. If he weren’t on the board, I would be good with the trade down.

guys that I’ve watched: Gilmore Benford Tre Clements Winfield Odomes

Oh for sure - hence the “certainly different situations as one was a looney toon”. but he was in the midst of one of the greatest 6 year WR runs ever

Antonio Brown? Same age at TJ. Came off 100+ catches, almost 1300 yards and career high 15 TDs certainly a a different situation as one was a looney tune, but he was as good as it gets as a WR when he was traded.
