There really is going to be a lot of pressure on all three of these guys to pan out and produce. The Chiefs had the least amount of roster turnover in the entire NFL (the Bills the most; who we traded up with for Mahomes interestingly) but this is going from calculated with the Mahomes trade to a bit cavalier in draft strategy. Can't say I dislike any of the picks, but the risk is palpable.I like what the Chiefs have done but trading up for a project QB, taking an upside player in rd2 and trading up for a running back...it really means they have to hit on these players. Like all 3.
I'm a fan of Hunt but there were still some good running backs on the board. In Dorsey we trust, I guess.
Thats exactly where I'm at. I like the picks but they have to stick.Can't say I dislike any of the picks, but the risk is palpable.
Jake Butt is still on the board, no? I would love him this late.Chiefs traded O'Shaunnessey TE to new England to move up in rd5. I suspect 1 of those 5th rounders will be a TE
Chesson had me a bit perplexed as well. They must think he's more of the guy from 2015 pre-injury. After the first 3 picks I am not very impressed either. The new LB might be better than DJ Alexander as an ILB but that's a pretty low bar to clear. The safety is ST fodder.Walterfootball thinks Hunt is a great receiver out of the backfield and KPass is good against the run so there is a good chance both of those players could work out well considering what Ive seen of their college play.
I think the Chiefs absolutely bombed the rest of the draft. They basically went all in on the Michigan WR and picked up what Id imagine 2 players that could have been UDFAs.
Jehu Chesson looks slow to me on tape. I don't think he is ever going to challenge for #1 WR nor do I think he is a YAC player at the NFL level at all. What I do see is 2 things: great blocking and good agility. Chesson is such a good and willing blocker that when he was healthy it was the expectation of the defense that he was going to be run blocking. Because of this, he was able to make some crafty plays to get open. So he is in the same ballpark as Albert Wilson except maybe slightly better at blocking.
A weird player to go all in on, imo. He does allow the Chiefs to run more out of 3 WRs sets so maybe thats something.
Yeah, I watched one of the games pre-injury to see if there was something more there but I really do think they drafted him mostly for his blocking. Which considering how well the Chiefs can run screen when they have Hill, Kelce, Ware, Hunt, etc makes sense.Chesson had me a bit perplexed as well.
