1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: Hang get down until the day when you get off. 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,400 Speaker 1: During this game, you may can play. 3 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 2: Don't do what touchdown? 4 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: Chansas City the chants, all right, the thick of a baby, 5 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: all right, welcome to this edition. I'm defending the Kingdom 6 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: a little different. Look here for you. We're just outside 7 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: the draft room here in the practice facility near on 8 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: the Chiefs Complex, near gha Field at Arrowhead Stadium, and 9 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty three NFL Draft is underway. The first 10 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: round is in the history books. First of all, Kansas City. 11 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: It's just a it's just such splendor to see what 12 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 1: Union Station, the National World One Museum, the Liberty Memorial, 13 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: and just how that has been portrayed to the football world. 14 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: I'm just so proud of what Kansas City is doing 15 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: here and what they've done. 16 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm blown away by it. It was just amazing 17 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 2: and fantastic. Ever since this got announced back in the 18 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 2: summer of twenty nineteen, we were all excited. We knew 19 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 2: Kansas City would show out, but just seeing it all, 20 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 2: I think it's gone beyond all of our expectations. And 21 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 2: it's so cool that Chiefs Kingdom represented the way that 22 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 2: they did down to Union Station, tonight. Coachrie just mentioned 23 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 2: that in his press conference that it looked crazy down 24 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 2: at Union Station to have all that read down there, 25 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 2: And honestly, we just celebrated the Super Bowl again. We 26 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,759 Speaker 2: had a second Super Bowl parade just a couple months later. 27 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 2: And it's just so awesome to see how Kansas City 28 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 2: showed out for the draft here tonight. Now let's go 29 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 2: do it tomorrow. 30 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: And the imagination and the setup and the artistry the 31 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: lighting is just phenomenal. What the league has done and 32 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,759 Speaker 1: what Kansas City has then, it just feels like it's 33 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: taken the production up another notch. You know, we saw 34 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 1: Nashville do such a great job with it. But I mean, 35 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: this first round was a show in a show of 36 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: Kansas City irony of ironies in the night that the 37 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:55,559 Speaker 1: Kansas City community the epicenter of the Chiefs Kingdom. Host 38 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty three NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs, 39 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: with the thirty first pick, the last pick of the 40 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: first round, choose a person who played high school football 41 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: in Kansas City, at least some in high school and 42 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: became the Big twelve defensive player of the Year at 43 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 1: Kansas State. The Big twelve champions, Felix and a duque Usama. 44 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: And there are a lot of folks in the Kingdom 45 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: that are excited about King Felix being a part of 46 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. 47 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of people. You being number one. This 48 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 2: guy's trying to keep it inside of it. He's freaking 49 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 2: out right player. I'm excited as well, though. I mean, just, 50 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 2: first of all, an awesome story. Like you said, the 51 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 2: Chiefs are Super Bowl champions, so they're picking last in 52 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 2: the first round. They get to celebrate with the Lombardi 53 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 2: Trophy on stage as they make their pick in Kansas City, 54 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 2: the first time the draft has ever been here, and 55 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,959 Speaker 2: you take a kid from Kansas City. I mean, that's 56 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 2: just remarkable. You can't draw that up. If this was 57 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 2: in Draft Day two, the movie, we'd be like, Okay, yeah, 58 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 2: I'm sure that would happen. It just happened in real life. 59 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 2: And not only is it a great story, Felix is 60 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 2: also a heck of a player who's going to help 61 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 2: us win right away. Coachrie just said that in his 62 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,239 Speaker 2: press conference he thinks Felix can help us on Day one, 63 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 2: both the versus the Pass and versus the run. Let's 64 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 2: talk about his career a little bit at Case State, 65 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 2: the twenty twenty two Big twelve Defensive Player of the Year, 66 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 2: a second team All American last season, very productive in 67 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 2: his career. A lot of times we see players that 68 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 2: have a great skill set but it didn't really translate 69 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,959 Speaker 2: in college, but the coaches say, hey, we can get 70 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 2: the best out of this guy. That's not really the 71 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 2: case with Felix. He has a great skill set and 72 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 2: it translated to college. He had nineteen and a half 73 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 2: sacks and twenty five and a half tackles for loss 74 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 2: over the last two seasons. Played in thirty three career games, 75 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 2: including all fourteen of Case States games last season. A 76 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 2: very productive player who's going to be productive hopefully right away. 77 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: Here for the Chiefs, defensive line coach Joe Cullen did 78 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: an incredible job last year with the defensive line. Think 79 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: of Chris Jones having the best year of any interior 80 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: defensive lineman in the league. He's going to have a 81 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: lot of fun with Felix and Yuduke Uzama. But he'll 82 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: also see that he's already in CALC two. When you 83 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: study the video of King Felix, he does a lot 84 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: of NFL things already, meaning move setup, moves, counter punches, 85 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: good on twists. Watch his plays against Tulane. There was 86 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: a twist they ran against Tulane, a really good team. 87 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: He wrecked Texas Tech. I mean he just obliterated sometimes 88 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: with different moves against an offensive tackle. And then in 89 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: the Big Twelve championship game when they beat TCU, there's 90 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 1: a great rip up and undermove that he makes. So 91 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,239 Speaker 1: when you watch Felix, you see a guy that already 92 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: seems to be ahead of the learning curve in what 93 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: it takes to be successful as an edge rusher and 94 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: as an edge defender. Because he'll play the run as well, 95 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: he seems to be ahead of the curve coming out 96 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: of college. 97 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 2: He has a great toolbox already. The reality is a 98 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 2: lot of times these edge rushers who are so much 99 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 2: better than everyone else in high school and in college, 100 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 2: they have like one or two moves that they just 101 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 2: always work because the players around them aren't as good. 102 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 2: But once they get to the NFL, everyone's good and 103 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 2: it doesn't work all the time and it's much more difficult. 104 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 2: Felix is not that player. He has a ton of 105 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 2: pass rushing moves already and is very cerebral. He has 106 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 2: a plan of attack whenever he's going against the opposing 107 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 2: offensive lineman and tries out all these different things to 108 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 2: find success, and that will work in the NFL. Daniel 109 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 2: Jeremiah from NFL dot Com wrote this about his pass 110 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 2: rushing toolbox. He said, and I quote, he has a 111 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 2: violent slap rip move, a nifty spin, and a quick 112 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 2: handswipe maneuver. He is also effective as a looper, so 113 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 2: he can do a whole bunch of different things. He 114 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 2: doesn't have just one thing he's really good at. He's 115 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 2: not just a bull rusher or just a hand fighter. 116 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 2: He's a defensive end that can do a little bit 117 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 2: of everything, and that's what you want in the NFL, 118 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 2: particularly in a first round pick. 119 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: It's a great point, Matt, because in my brief twenty 120 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: nine previous years in the NFL, I'll see edge rushers 121 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: that'll take two to three years to get those moves down, 122 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: or at least to develop those moves. Because you're right, 123 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 1: one or two moves can get you through college. King 124 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 1: Felix is already ahead of that, and you see how 125 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: he'll use things to He'll have a plan. Hear about 126 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: guys when they evaluate, hey needs a better plan. Felix 127 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: will have a plan going in and I love it 128 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: the fact that some of his biggest games were against 129 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: the biggest opponents, and that's a good sign. The other 130 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: thing a ballhawk when Daniel Jeremiah made that evaluation six 131 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 1: force fumbles led FBS in doing so at Kansas State. 132 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: When you look at the fact that he had four 133 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: sacks in one game against TCU as a junior. Originally 134 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 1: it was going to be an NCAA record six sacks, 135 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: and then reviewed that and thought, well, maybe that's not 136 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: a sack, so that reduced it to four, but still four. 137 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: I mean, there were times he would just take a 138 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: game and dominate it. 139 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 2: And he has a great blend of power but also bend, 140 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 2: which is hard to find. Sometimes you have a player 141 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,479 Speaker 2: who has great power, but they're not very athletic, they're 142 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 2: not getting around the offensive tackle. Or you have a 143 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 2: player who is very athletic they're going to run right 144 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 2: by the offensive tackle, but not a lot of power. Well, 145 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 2: Felix really has both. So here's a few things from 146 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 2: some draft guides. This is from Dane that Brugler from 147 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 2: the athletic, he said in I quote, he plays hard 148 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 2: and mixes up his rush to keep his pursuit alive, 149 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 2: which is what he does best. He projects as a physical, 150 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 2: face up power rusher with the impact potential to compete 151 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 2: for an NFL starting role as a rookie with big 152 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 2: time power and strength. But he's more than just a 153 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 2: power rusher. This is from Pro Football Focus, who called 154 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 2: him one of the bindiest defensive linemen in this entire class. 155 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 2: And Udique Uzama is one of the best edge benders 156 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 2: in this draft class. He is the type of edge 157 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 2: rusher that is going to convert a lot of pressures 158 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 2: to sacks. Because of that of his eighty nine pressures 159 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 2: the past two seasons, twenty one ended up as sacks. 160 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 2: He's one of the higher floor pass rushers in this class. 161 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 2: How often do you see it that a player has 162 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 2: so many pressures and never translates to sacks and you 163 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 2: have to be like, well, he's getting pressure on the quarterback. 164 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 2: You want them to finish those plays, and Felix did 165 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 2: that in college. 166 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, Felix is definitely a finisher. A lanzerline gave him 167 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: the comp of Dante Fowler Junior. The Dallas Cowboys. And 168 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: if the Chiefs get that, the other thing to think 169 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: about is who he's in the same rule with. You 170 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: now have in consecutive classes here George carloftis and edge rusher, 171 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: and you've got Felix and u d. K Uzama. You 172 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: take that with some of the veterans center Mike danis 173 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: now a veteran. But you have two guys now that 174 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: are in staggered years in their NFL careers who could 175 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,119 Speaker 1: be not only great individually, but great as a team. 176 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: I could see these two guys being an awesome duo. 177 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 2: This reminds me of what we did at linebacker a 178 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 2: couple of years ago, where you take Willie Gay Junior 179 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 2: in the second round and then take Nick Bolton in 180 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 2: the second round a year later, and we had the 181 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 2: same conversation, We're going to have two really skilled athletic 182 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 2: linebackers growing together in the middle of this defense. And 183 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 2: they just won a Super Bowl and both guys played 184 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 2: a huge role in winning that Super Bowl. Now we 185 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 2: have the same thing happening at defensive end, where you 186 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 2: have two very young, talented, skilled defensive ends that are 187 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 2: going to grow together in this defense and also add 188 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 2: in Charles, a miniheu in this who's still a pretty 189 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 2: young player, who's under contract for a couple of years 190 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 2: here in Kansas City, who can do a lot of 191 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,719 Speaker 2: things on defense as well as a versatile player. So 192 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 2: the future is so bright for this defense. Already, so 193 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 2: many young players that made giant contributions last season to 194 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 2: help this team win a Super Bowl, and now add 195 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 2: King Felix to the mix. The sky is the limit 196 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 2: for what this defense can achieve moving forward. I'm so 197 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 2: excited to get to training camp in just a few months. 198 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: Curious to see how the broken hand is doing. He 199 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 1: broke his hand late in the game against Alabama and 200 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,559 Speaker 1: the Sugar Bowl, and so that might hinder a little 201 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: bit of his productivity right away, but he's also won 202 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: and again won in big games a champion team. Matt 203 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: is getting a champion player, and so that's what's really 204 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: exciting it really is. 205 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 2: I love his mindset, I love everything about him. When 206 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 2: he was at the local pro day a few weeks ago, 207 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 2: coach Reed just mentioned in his press conference he had 208 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 2: a chance to speak with Felix and kind of figure 209 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 2: out what he's all about, and just loved meeting with 210 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 2: him and getting to know him, and now he's a 211 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 2: Chief and gets to join his hometown team and hopefully 212 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 2: go get another Super Bowl. 213 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,959 Speaker 1: So you leave some with Tiger fans. You know what's 214 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: Drew Locke thinking? He was there? Right? Yeah? I remember 215 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: he's a little kid like walking down the hallway at school. Uh, 216 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: and he was a little bit undersized when he came 217 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 1: out of high school. 218 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 2: Not anymore, not anymore. 219 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 1: Nope, King Felix is in the King dumb So ladies 220 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: and gentlemen, Uh, just do your own little study. You'll 221 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 1: like what you're seeing. For the newest Kansas City Chief, 222 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: the Chiefs first round pick, the first ever draft held 223 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: in Kansas City, a Kansas City player who was a 224 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: champion at Kansas State. Felix and Duke Uzama talks down, 225 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: wash it down, and the celebration begins to their head.
