We don’t ask for permission, or forgiveness either.

With the 18th selection in TBD Mock Draft….the 3 time, and current Super Bowl champion, Kansas City Chiefs, select……. Calijah Kancey, DL, Pitt RATIONALE for pick I don’t like any of the remaining OT, and feel like we can get a quality WR and edges later. Cancey is an absolute interior pocket destroyer. We don’t care that he’s small for a DT. KC rotates and moves DLine around a lot, which is why they deploy large EDGE players, that move inside from time to time. KC will deploy Kancey all over. One of the very few players I have as a bonafide rd 1 talent for what my roster and scheme does. We are elated to get him here. Overview Undersized, one-gapping defensive tackle who is explosive and productive. He’s a strong and determined player, but Kancey is still going to be a hit-or-miss run defender due to his lack of mass and length. While he will get pushed around at times, his first-step quickness and short memory allow him to make tackles in the backfield. He’s a nightmare for offenses as a pass rusher. His twitchy feet can slide and reset points of attack. His leverage and motor are often too much for guards to handle alone. Kancey might be most effective as a rotational run defender and full-time, sub-package rusher, but his size will not define him in the NFL. Strengths Posted 14.5 sacks and 27.5 tackles for loss in two years as a full-time starter. Combination of first-step burst and contact balance stands out. Captures easy wins against leaning interior blockers. Excellent change-of-direction quickness and reactive athleticism. Terror in the pocket as a pass rusher. Laser-sharp focus on fastest possible way into the pocket. Slide speed to start at B-gap and finish rush in the opposite A-gap. Forward-charging attack eventually finds an edge or angle to exploit. Gets to quarterbacks with a top-flight closing kick. @Yantha is on the clock

@Virgil

@mannc @Yantha mu guy is on the board still. I’m willing to send 31 and 63 for your pick

It's literally never happend....per the article.

yes, but of the coaches that took a long time to get the first ring...the QB they paired up with....they were never a duo more than 5 years. That's my point here with McD and Allen...this is year 6 together. Andy Ried didn't win his first SB until he'd been a head coach for like 20 years...but it was his 3rd season paired up with Mahomes.

Direct quote from the article: Call it The Five-Year Rule: No team has ever started the same quarterback under the same head coach for more than five years and seen that duo win its first championship. As you can see in the table, some really great duos just got their title together in the fifth year, but all 35 duos required no more than five years together. This is what I meant to say...if that wasn't understood.

........winning NFL titles together during thier first years together is the point here......

There is a first time for everything, and just becasue something hasn't happened before doesn't mean it won't happen. I get it. But, I wouldn't dismiss this stat as meaningless. It stongly indicates that 5 years is enough time to know if you have QB problem, a coach problem or both. The Bills have the 3rd best SB odds this year...it's ENTIRELY possible McDermott and Allen become the first QB/Coach duo to make it happen after 6 years together.

....Maybe I should have worded this better....but Brady and Belichic were together just a year and won their first super bowl. That's what I'm talking about....No coach and QB ever paired up has gone more than 5 years without a SB win, and THEN won it in later years. If your coach and QB hasn't gotten it done after 5 years together, in history, none ever have. This will be McDermott and Allens 6th season as a QB/Coach pairing.

Also worth noting.....NEVER has a coach / QB combo that had been together more than 5 years, ever won the Super Bowl. If McDermott and Allen were to win one at this point, it would be the first time a QB/Coach pairing that had been together 6 years or more, won it all. It's kind of weird to say McDermott, head of a very good team, is on the hot seat, but in reality, the situation of being all in, and not getting over the hump so far....it might be McDermotts last shot before maybe you put a new set of eyes and ideas around Allen and see what happens.

Where is the write up and rationale for this pick?

quick question.....do the picks get posted in this thread or a separate thread?

Chiefs are targeting a certain player. If he makes it to about 19-20, Ill be looking to move up.

Who is getting all the hype that isn't deserving? Who is destined for a bad situation never to live up to their potential? Who just plain sucks? Make your call here. 1. CJ Stroud. QB, Ohio St. He played great VS Georgia, but I see the same one read guy that Ohio St. always has throwing to NFL WR's behind and NFL line. 2. Tyree Wilson. Edge, Texas Tech. I just don't see it. For being the size and measurables he is, that guy should have been killing it in college. 3. Peter Skoronski. OT, Northwestern. I'm not guying that he can play LT with his T rex arms. I'll believe it when I see it. I wouldn't risk a top 10 pick to find out. 4. Darnell Wright OT, Tennessee. This one is more situational than others..but he needs to be on a run heavy team IMO. I'm not sold on his pass blocking as a LT in the NFL. 5. Adetomiwa Adebawore, DL, Northwestern. Pains me to say it becasue he's a Kansas City kid, but dude was destined for 4th or 5th round until the combine. Workout warrior. 6. Luke Musgrave, TE, Oregon St. Will join a long list of athletic TE who actually were never good at plaing TE but get drafted like they are. 7. Cody Mauch, OT, North Dakota St. Getting WAY too much hype. Played small school that RUNS most of the time. This is not an NFL caliber pass blocker.

Sleepers 1. Carter Warren - OT - Pitt Experienced starter that can play both right and left side. MASSIVE wingspan. Season cut short by injury... 2. Eli Ricks - CB - Alabama. Immature kid, but loads of talent with speed, ball skills and 6'3. LATE deep sleepers - 1. Cooper Hodges - OT - Appalachian St. Highest graded RIGHT tackle in FBS. Flies under the radar becasue of smaller school and not LT. 2. Desjuan Johnson - DL - Toledo. Very producitve versatile Dlineman from the MAC. not getting the hype he would if he was at a bigger school 3. Khalef Hailassie - CB - Western Kentucky. Transfered from Oregon. Physical, gifted CB...that you've never heard of. 4. Jerrick Reed II - S - New Mexico. Solid overall safety, with experience and decent measurables.

You're the best Happy Days! THANKS!

1. Christopher Smith, S, Georgia 2. Juice Scruggs, C, Penn St.

Chiefs Broncos Rams But heart has been set on Chiefs since I inquired about this a while back.

Chiefs if they are available Would you be willing to allow me to have the Chiefs?

That isn't a typo. Josh Allen is elite now. Diggs served his purpose, much like Tyreek Hill served his in Kansas City. They gave shooting star QB's reliable, talented targets they could confidently throw to, helping to establish confidence and develop the QB's mental game. Hill complained after being traded (at least he watied to make this public when he was already gone) that he wasn't being focused on enough, or getting enough targets...etc. The Chiefs traded him away, used the assets and cap space to improve other parts of the team, AND then went out and performed even better on offense. I strongly believe that a reason why this happend is becasue Mahomes was entirely free to run each and every play with the idea that making the most optimal throw is what mattered. Not to massage an ego or placate a guy wanting a larger role etc. You can make a strong case KC's WR room isn't any great shakes. I'd agree with that. They don't need to be. Zach Wilson isn't our QB....and he's not the Bills QB either. Josh Freaking Allen is. Allen doesn't need elite, high cots WR's to shine now. I know the Bills are committed to this season as an all in, all chips to the middle of the table type season....that's fine. I wouldn't even say that it's a bad idea....but I think it would be better if you moved Diggs for all you could possibly get, go sign a couple vets who need to prove it, who have maybe some low self esteem because they've fallen out of favor due to injury etc....get a couple mid level guys who you know are good pros. Let ALLEN run the team.. let HIM dictate the best place for the ball to go. It's his job to run as efficient, well managed offense as he possibly can....not make sure pouting WR's see the ball X number of times a game. Use the resources to add to your team in areas that Allen doesn't directly impact, like the defense etc. If the guys work out...they move on, sign big deal somewhere else...and you reload with a couple more dudes who need to prove it again. There is never a shortage of these guys and they overplay their contracts consistantly. Plus, you'll be supplimenting these WR's with WR's you draft who are cheap and cost controlled. ALLEN is it. He's why you are 3rd best odds to win Super Bowl this upcoming season.. LEAN INTO IT.

He's not. KC isn't going to trade high draft picks and pick up that contract. I assure you, KC isn't his destination. The only vet WR KC is in on, is OBJ...and that's only if they can wait him out and get him cheap.

I'm going to agree with the long term builder stance on this. IF you believe...as I do...that ALLEN is the big driver behind the Bills being a Super Bowl contender, and not the roster around him...(It's ALLEN) then you ought to be looking at every single season as a shot to win a trophy and not loading up for one year. I also agree though, that since the chips are already forward on Miller, etc....that since youa re committed to an all in type sceanrio, committ all the way. I still think even given this, that Hopkins costs too much for what you get. I'd wait until the Cards come off the high asking price at least.

Watkins was injury prone....and remained so in KC. He cost a ton and we didn't even have to give up draft capital for him. Mahomes was every bit as good in games with him as without him. That money would have been better spent elswhere. Hopkins is a 10 year vet who has been a great player....but he's missed 11 games to injury the last 2 years and his YAC has been declining recently. He's best knowns a a contested catch guy, but those numbers in sutations regarded as contested throws, have also been in decline. I'm not saying Hopkins can't help. He's still got gas in the tank....but for what his contract is, plus the draft picks. NOT WORTH IT. you aren't getting any kind of big ROI on this at all.

The Bills should move to Toronto ***DUCKS and runs out the door as quickly as possible***
