Now, 32 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: like a Kansas City Southern train rolling down the track, 33 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: this draft is getting ready to start, the virtual twenty 34 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: twenty NFL Draft, and our continued prayers I know from 35 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: me and my family and yours and your family to 36 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: all the folks to stay safe and just stay online 37 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: here with this protocol and we'll get through this. But 38 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: this draft now looks to be crazy. The first quarter 39 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: of our podcast is going to deal with looking at 40 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: our division opponents one through nineteen is where we're going 41 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: to break this first quarter off because the Raiders have 42 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: two picks in that first nineteen. This is paying off 43 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: of the Khalil Mack trade with the Bears. The Chargers 44 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: set at number six and the Broncos set at number fifteen. 45 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: We have talked now people can go back and look 46 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: at our past podcasts and archive about the different positions 47 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: and the strength. Let's talk about it now one through 48 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: nineteen and the division opponents in specific and how they 49 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: approach it. Well, one of the things we got to 50 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: look and see how each team is going to try 51 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: to defend the championship chiefs, right, and that starts with 52 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: how are you going to defend Mahomes? So each team 53 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,399 Speaker 1: has made some additions, right, we see the Raider added Littleton, 54 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: they added Collins, Eli Apple, Jeff Heat calling the scene. 55 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: They've added some defensive weapons to try to get to 56 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: the quarterback to stop our passing game. And with them having, 57 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: like you saying, multiple picks in the first nineteen, where 58 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,959 Speaker 1: are they gonna add You would have to think that 59 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: if they have an opportunity, they would add a cornerback. 60 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: And then even if you stop my homes and keep 61 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: us to thirty or so points. You have to continue 62 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: to score points. So adding a defensive back and maybe 63 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: a wide receiver at twelve and nineteen that puts him 64 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: in position to get a top corner and also one 65 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: of those top four wide receivers that everybody is coverting. Yeah, 66 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: with the corner is o'cuda is going to be the 67 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: first one off the board. Henderson will be the second. 68 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: But Henderson couldn't drop to them based on what happens 69 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: in front. We're gonna get to the craziness that I 70 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: think we'll start at pick number three. But let's pick 71 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: up on your point that you said, which is I'm 72 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: going to tweet the shot I think after we get 73 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: done here is the fact that when we get to 74 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: play this year, it'll be my twenty seventh year as 75 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: the voice of the Chiefs. I spent twenty four of 76 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: those chasing with the Chiefs, Chasing, meaning go back in 77 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: the day when Elway was a quarterback and not at GM, 78 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: chasing the Broncos, drafting to fit a team that can 79 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: beat the Broncos. When you played for the Chiefs, it 80 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: was chasing Peyton Manning or chasing Tom Brady now of 81 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 1: a sudden, the world is chasing us. And I don't 82 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: say that in an arrogant way. It's just this different 83 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: mentality because you just mentioned these teams going into this 84 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,559 Speaker 1: draft are going how are we going to compete against 85 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and all of that speed, And so it 86 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: dictates the way they think where they might they might 87 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: be having a different strategy if they're in another division 88 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: and not with Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, when you're in AFC West, 89 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: you know you're gonna face them twice, one of the 90 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: most potent offensive weapons with one of the most creative 91 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: offensive minds. And then now that we've added a defensive 92 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: scheme that you can bring pressure from any area that 93 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: has a a stackload of Swiss Army Knights all over 94 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: the field. Yet corners that can play linebackers, safeties to 95 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: play corner, corners to play safety, everybody can play in 96 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: any position. It puts so much pressure on a team 97 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 1: to not just think about what's best for their organization. 98 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: But what are they gonna do when they come to 99 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: Kansas City. What are they gonna do when Kanns City 100 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 1: comes to their house? How are they going to stop 101 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes and our offense, and then how are they 102 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: going to score points against our amazing pressure we put 103 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,919 Speaker 1: on them as far as defensively, and so it forces 104 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 1: you to go out there. Even if you're a front seven, 105 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: your offensive line isn't where you want it to be. 106 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: If you see one of these prime position skill players, 107 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: a difference maker that can stretch the field, that can 108 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: score points, or they can lock down a potential wide 109 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 1: receiver threat that we have because we have so many 110 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: of them with Cheetah Watkins, Robinson Kelsey, even our running 111 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 1: backs or receiver threats, if you can get a defender 112 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 1: that can lock down, have to feel like some are 113 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: saying one of these top corners, can you have to 114 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: go grab him. It puts a lot of pressure on 115 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 1: you to kind of go away from your big board 116 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: and now you're drafting not based off of team needs, 117 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: but the need to stop the Kansas City Chiefs. And 118 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: that's my point, and that's the life that I lived 119 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: for most of my time as the voice of the Chiefs. 120 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: Because sometimes you can make a mistake doing that by 121 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: chasing instead of just staying. That's what Andy Reid did 122 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: when he came here. Instead of chasing Peyton Manning at 123 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: the end of his career. He was putting in place 124 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: the team that has now become the number one ranked 125 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 1: team in the National Football League. Okay, one final thing 126 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: before we go to the second quarter of this Defending 127 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: the Kingdom podcast. Let the craziness begin of the twenty 128 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: NFL Draft, and that is the wild card that starts 129 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 1: at number three. You know, everybody thinks Burrow is going 130 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 1: to go to Cincinnati at one, Chase Young goes probably 131 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: at two to the Washington Redskins, but it's Detroit. It's 132 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: the Detroit City Lions that maybe start the craziness at 133 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: three because we're seeing all this chat or intelligence wise 134 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: back and forth, people wanting to trade down. But I 135 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: think this thing gets wild starting with the third pick. 136 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 1: It definitely does. And now I think a hot take 137 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,679 Speaker 1: last night with the Redskins are actually fielding calls about 138 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: Chase Young at number two. The forty nine ers are 139 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: thinking about moving out of the first run altogether with 140 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: their two first picks. They want to move up to 141 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: get an impact player. So with all, like you said, 142 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: a lot of coming in, it puts the Kansas City 143 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: Chiefs organization in a great position to sit back and 144 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: kind of watch these teams take each other out over 145 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: paying too much for a certain guy, not getting enough 146 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: back for a certain draft pick, allowing guys that are 147 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: very talented possibly to slide into the late thirties with 148 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: that ability to sit back not having any glaring hole, 149 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: having twenty of twenty two starters, return to your roster 150 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: where you can go play right now, we could go 151 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: play a game today and and and be favored against 152 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: everybody in the league based off of the return starters 153 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: we have. It puts you in a prime position to 154 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: always be ready to add value to your picks, add 155 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: value to your overall drafts. And like you said, when 156 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: that number without a trade, when that number three pick hit, 157 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: if the Lions decide to go away from Akuta and 158 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: maybe pick a backup quarterback because they see that Um 159 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: Stafford with his back injuries, might not be the quarterback 160 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: of the future, so they're forced to think about their 161 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,079 Speaker 1: future and not go with a prime position that I'll 162 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 1: even start more a more craziness um with that with 163 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: that third pick. So you never know what's gonna happen. 164 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: But no matter what happens, we're still sitting. We say 165 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: in the rooster's chair. We're sitting twenty feet up, looking 166 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: down at everybody and just waiting for things to fall 167 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: into our laps. I like that chair, by the way. 168 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: I like the feeling of setting in that chair. All right. 169 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: The second quarter now deals with getting close to the flame. 170 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: The first order, get used to it. Study him because 171 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: your future division opponents are going to be in those 172 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 1: first nineteen picks. Picks twenty to thirty one. Now starts 173 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: to dictate what happens for Brett Veach and does he 174 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: strategize either in a position to move down and move up. 175 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: We'll get to that in the third quarter, but the 176 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: second quarter involves now Jacksonville has two picks. I'm sorry, 177 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 1: they're at twenty in this Minnesota has two picks in 178 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: this realm of twenty one, twenty to thirty one, They've 179 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: got the twenty second pick. In the twenty fifth pick, 180 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: here's Miami again. Who knows what happens above it? But 181 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 1: to me, it is who values the one guy or 182 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: two guys that other teams may not value as much. 183 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: Jordan's love to me is exhibit A. Here the quarterback 184 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: from Utah State. I've heard everything. He's the next Mahomes 185 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: so people wouldn't touch him and the kids an interesting study, 186 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 1: good talent here, or a guy like even a chin 187 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: of Southern Illinois Jeremy Chen or you look at who 188 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: drops me from the corners or the linebacker position. Something 189 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: Patrick McQueen or Murray of Oklahoma could drop in here. 190 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: But twenty to thirty one now starts the heart starts 191 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: to pump faster if you're the Chief's kingdom, because it's 192 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: getting closer to the flame. Well, when you see five 193 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: or six guys that have fallen out of the top 194 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: team and they're available at the twentieth pick, now you 195 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: have to start to use your algorithms. You're a rhythemis 196 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: pick all right? These five guys are the teams that 197 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,599 Speaker 1: are drafting in those eleven spots. Do they have a 198 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,199 Speaker 1: need for this guy? Are they in a position to 199 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: to to be a and ignore they have no They 200 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: have no starting cornerback, they definitely need a linebacker, they 201 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 1: have no edge rusher, they're missing an offensive tackle. Whatever 202 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: that individual's team's need is. Can they ignore that need 203 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: in a first round pick to get this valuable piece? 204 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 1: I don't think so, And I think that's how you. 205 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: You know, you start off at pick twenty with five 206 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: or six guys that are valued in the top fifteen, 207 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: and they continue to drop every year. We see somebody 208 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: sitting in that green room at pick thirty, at pick 209 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: thirty one that post have been a top fifteen guy, 210 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 1: and we say, how in the world can somebody that 211 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: talented fall so many picks. Teams have needs, and teams 212 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: have to fill those needs to win. Now. Fortunately for 213 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,079 Speaker 1: the Chiefs, we're coming off a Super Bowl, we're trying 214 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: to run it back, we're trying to go back to back. 215 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: We have no glaring needs, so we can be one 216 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: of the teams that are fortunate enough to just let 217 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 1: things fall into our lap. And I think that's exactly 218 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: how things gonna unfold tomorrow. And let me in this 219 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: realm now in the second quarter here it picks twenty 220 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: through thirty one. Let me give you some examples. Justin Jefferson, 221 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 1: the wide receiver of LSU, seems to kind of fall 222 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 1: in here. Perhaps Brandon Ayu could kid at errors on 223 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: the stage, just had the core surgery but looks to 224 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: play for her and Edwards are a kid that can, 225 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: great guy that fights for the football te Higgins numbers 226 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: the boundary should not. The kid from Colorado also had 227 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: core surgery in February. But another guy that's Harlette highly regarded. 228 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: And then possibly some of these offensive lineman. A name 229 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 1: that comes up as Andrew Thomas aut of Georgia. Some 230 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: having way high, some have him slotted right in here. 231 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: But those are the kind of guys that I think 232 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 1: of that could slide up or down. But if they 233 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: move into that position now, and let's say they push 234 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: some linebackers back, that's to the advantage of the Kansas 235 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: City choose. Yeah, definitely. You know, we know Queen is 236 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: probably the cream of the crop. When you talk about 237 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: a linebacker UM coming out this year, but uh, Cavan Chasing, UM, 238 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: Kenneth Murray, UM. We got linebackers out of Wisconsin, we 239 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: got linebackers out of app State. We got linebackers. UM. 240 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,599 Speaker 1: A bunch of guys that are Mississippi State. They have 241 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,959 Speaker 1: some off the field issues, but their talent levels is 242 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: off the charts, and so when you can start I'm 243 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: looking at these guys and realizing they have top twenty 244 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,599 Speaker 1: talent on the field. They have they can bring in 245 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: or Zach Bond. We've seen certain character ricks, of characteristics 246 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: of you guys being able to be an impact day 247 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 1: one on our roster, whereas some other teams they might 248 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: just be a situational play. And when you take a 249 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: team that's already a great team and you start adding 250 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: great situational players, that's when it starts to get really scary. 251 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: And I know people have mock draft Swift to the Chiefs. 252 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: They've mocked draft, like I said, the lineback from Wisconsin 253 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: to the Chiefs. But you know when we talk about 254 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 1: old lineman, the number one center, interior offensive lineman, sees 255 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: the Ruez. I mean, he's a guy that you think 256 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: about our offensive line, how they've got it done so 257 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: far this year with miss quarters and people having to 258 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: switch different positions, having swing players all across the board, 259 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: you get a guy like him who can play center, 260 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: or guard, back up all three of those positions. And 261 00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 1: that's like one player taking a place of two. And 262 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: if we can use those two players, that other positions 263 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: get more depth. It's it's it's a domino effect of 264 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: how how good this team can really be going into 265 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Are defending that the Kingdom podcast, It's get ready, 266 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: let the craziness begin of the twenty twenty NFL Draft halftime. 267 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: Right now, you know of NFL games a twelve minute 268 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: a half time, we get one second. That's how we 269 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: do it here under defending the Kingdom. There, you got it. 270 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: But it also gives us a chance. I'm I'm pumping 271 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: out the Mexico code to get from the Mexico City 272 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: game in November, because that game, as well as our 273 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: draft coverage is brought to you by pre draft coverage 274 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: brought to you by Kansas City Southern Railroad. They're amazing 275 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: Kansas City based company. That's it's really taking all the 276 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: goods and services that we can provide here in the 277 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: Kansas City area and being a conduit to our neighbors 278 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: to the south and the country of Mexico and the 279 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: major ports there to really then affect the world the 280 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: rest of South America, but for Kansas City Southern the 281 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: cross border Railroad in it for the long haul, safe, sustainable, efficient, 282 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: essential Go Chiefs. All right. If the first part of 283 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: this podcast is talking about hey, get used to them 284 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: because the division opponent's going to get some good players. 285 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: Second would be as close to the flame. The third 286 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: quarter is the light is on. Let's say everything stays put, 287 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: Chief stay put at thirty two and now the light 288 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: is on bread Veach in his staff and to me 289 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: first overall global view of this pick because of the 290 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: depth of this draft, and we might have mentioned this 291 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: last week on the podcast, even at thirty two, you're 292 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: gonna get a guy that in other drafts might be 293 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: considered to be as high as a mid round guy 294 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty. That's how much I think people think 295 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: of this twenty twenty draft. It's a deep draft. And also, 296 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: what's another fact that it's going to push those positions 297 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: of need for us, the positions we want a value 298 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: is that everybody's gonna be chasing for what they see 299 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: as the next Patrick Mahomes. You can't be a GM 300 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: seeing what we've done over the last two years with 301 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: this guy and let a Jordan Love let heb it 302 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: from Oregon. You can't. You can't let those guys just 303 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: just sit there and not feel tempted. If you don't 304 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: have a guy who's a quality, elite level a you know, 305 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: top five or six quarterback in the league, you can't 306 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: sit back and let a guy who potentially could be 307 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: that fall and go by you in the draft. Even 308 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: some teams we feel like are comfortable. We talk about 309 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: the Raiders with Derek Carr. They're comfortable at the quarterback position, 310 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: but you know they would like one of these butting stars, 311 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: the next to Sean Watson, the next Lamar Jackson, the 312 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: next Patrick Mahomes. And if they have any feeling from 313 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: their scouting part, Mike Mike Mayo, if he feels like 314 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: one of these top four guys has that kind of talent, 315 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: it would be definitely worth it to package them picks 316 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: together and get into the top five to make that happen. 317 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: And so when you see emotions like that happening, um, 318 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: it just it forces teams to do things that they 319 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: are not natural ready to do. But what it does 320 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,479 Speaker 1: is it makes a run on the quarterback position. Then 321 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: you see a run on the wide receiver position. Then 322 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: we always know there's a run on offensive tackles. Well 323 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,719 Speaker 1: after three positions have it runs and you're sitting there 324 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,959 Speaker 1: at thirty thirty two, Well, there's great value leup at 325 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: the defensive back position. There's great value leup at the 326 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: lineback of position. And even though this draft is then 327 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 1: at age rusher because of what happened with these other positions, 328 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: you might get a top three edge rusher available at 329 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 1: thirty two. Yeah, and I'm gonna tell you guy, when 330 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: you talk about the quarterback analysis and you brought up Herbert, 331 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: he'll go earlier. I think we didn't even mention to 332 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: a tongue of Valoa, who now has become kind of 333 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: a lightning rod too. Some think he's going to be 334 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 1: the overall pick in the draft till he got hurt 335 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: against Mississippi State. But then all of his other injuries 336 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: situations have come up and bubble to the surface, and 337 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: some have him slipping into the mid first route. But 338 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 1: to me, in this thirty two pick range, now where 339 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: the light is on here the third quarter of our 340 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: podcast is the Chiefs picking at thirty two. You to 341 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,880 Speaker 1: me Distant Hurts, the quarterback from Oklahoma who some think 342 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 1: is the next Lamar Jackson. If that's the case, now 343 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you have value. And even though 344 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 1: the Chiefs may not take Jalen Hurts, now they've got 345 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: an opportunity to move down and get extra picks. Keep 346 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 1: in mind, the Chiefs only five picks in this draft, 347 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: rounds one through five. Nothing in the sixth or seventh, 348 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: no extra picks in the second, third, fourth. But now 349 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: let's say at Jalen Hurts is there and some team 350 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: values him as being the next Lamar Jackson. Here come 351 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: your trade partners. Perhaps we mentioned Detroit. You talked about 352 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 1: Matt Stafford and his back issues earlier. With the third slot, 353 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: they're also setting there strategically. I think at thirty five 354 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 1: here where it'd be easy for the Chiefs to switch 355 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: spots with them, get an extra pick and still get 356 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 1: the guy you wanted. And we'll get to the DBS 357 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: here in a second. But let's say it Jalen Hurts 358 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 1: is there now all of a sudden, that pick at 359 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: thirty two. You gain some equity in this spot because 360 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: of what other teams would value. Yeah, and we look 361 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: at what the demon Broncos didn't do a few drafts 362 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: ago when they picked Lock. They waited until the second round. 363 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: They got Locked still, but what they lost out was 364 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: that fifth year option by not trading up and getting 365 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: him with one of those last picks in the first round. 366 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: They're gonna be in a situation contract wise in a 367 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: few seasons where they're gonna have to make a long term, 368 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: contributing a long term to sitution with him a year early. 369 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: They're not gonna have the luxury of keeping a round 370 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: for a fifty year with that fifth year option. And 371 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 1: that's why you see so many teams that are riding 372 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: that that fence about a quarterback. They jump up into 373 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: that thirty thirty thirty, first thirty second pick grabbed themselves. 374 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: That's what the Ravens did with Lamar Jackson. If you 375 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: remember Ozzy, when you know late in that draft, when 376 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 1: Lamar was dropping, he was sliding, the Ravens traded back 377 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: up to get into one of the last picks of 378 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: the first round, just so they had that additional fifth 379 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,160 Speaker 1: year option with the quarterback position. So if a quarterback 380 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: is still available one of these first round picks and 381 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 1: even a second round pick, you don't be surprised if 382 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: teams start calling the chief's phone line trying to work 383 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 1: out a trade deal to have us move back gain 384 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: a couple more picks so they can go up and 385 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: jump up and get that quarterback. Yeah, some teams here, 386 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 1: when you look at it, they could be of interest. 387 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,360 Speaker 1: Detroit is in this discussion. Miami's in there again. They've 388 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: got a zillion picks plus three three first round picks, 389 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: but they'd be right in there, possibly willing to trade 390 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: up depending on what they do in the first round. 391 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: Then you look at Carol Line at potentially as being 392 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 1: a draft even Chicago. You move down to forty two, 393 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,120 Speaker 1: you don't want to move down too far, I don't think, 394 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: but you could still move down and get extra picks. Now, 395 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 1: let's say the chief stay put. This has been our thesis. 396 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,199 Speaker 1: You and me are an agreement on this, and had 397 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: been for a month that you're gonna to me if 398 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 1: you're saying, Mitch, what would you want out of this 399 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: draft with a thirty two pick if you stay there? 400 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: To me, I would like a Day one starter if 401 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: that is a and I'm going to define starter here 402 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 1: as a Kendall Fuller replacement. If a player could have 403 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: been me imediately be in your nickel package or dime 404 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: package Week one against whomever the Chiefs are going to play. 405 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: And there's a whole list of corners in here. Dig 406 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 1: mcnanny from Auburn maybe not a first strong talent, but 407 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: somewhere he's going to enter this discussion. Trayvon Diggs could 408 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: fall Stephan Digg's brother out of Alabama. Looking at Jeff 409 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: Gladney at a TCU, he's been in this slot and 410 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: a lot of mock drafts are Neette the kid from 411 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: Ohio State, Jalen Johnson from Utah. But all of a sudden, 412 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,239 Speaker 1: now you get a nickel corner, dime corner that right 413 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 1: away you factor in in week one is helping you 414 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: win games and on special teams. Yeah, the cornermacquisition is 415 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: one that you feel like it's a strong positionship, but 416 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: it's being shadowed. It's it's kind of like the little 417 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: brother of the wire receiver. The wire receivers are being 418 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: talked about, and because they're gonna go fast and furious, 419 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 1: there's gonna be some second round wide receivers to get 420 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 1: pushed up into the first round. Because the first couple 421 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: of ones go so fast and nobody wants to miss out. 422 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 1: You're gonna get some wide receivers that probably should have 423 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 1: been second round talents that end up going into the 424 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: back end of the first round. Well, that's gonna do 425 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: is push you know, dbs cornerbacks and safeties that are 426 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 1: really top level cornerbacks, they're gonna be pushed down in potential, 427 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: striking potential for the Chiefs. You named a handful of them, 428 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: but I even think the fourth and maybe even the 429 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 1: third corner off the board will still be available by 430 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 1: the thirty second pick. I'm with you, that's why that's exciting. 431 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 1: And depending on what happens, go back and listen. The 432 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 1: first and second quarter could push that player that you 433 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 1: just described to the Chiefs quickly. The end of the 434 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: third quarter will be looking at linebacker here at that 435 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: thirty two pick you mentioned Zach Bond at Wisconsin, he 436 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 1: could still be setting there. Marie and Queen could be gone. 437 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,400 Speaker 1: By the way, He'll be long gone by this point. 438 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:48,880 Speaker 1: But we got to mention him because he's a laith 439 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 1: and North kid and you know him. Isaiah Simmons will 440 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: probably be a top ten pick in this draft. But 441 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 1: what a phenomenal talent coming out of the Chiefs Kingdom 442 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: and at a Laitha North high school, played at Clemson. Yeah, 443 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 1: a local gun man. We give him all the love. 444 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: But he actually gets gets his haircut. You can't tell 445 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 1: now because I got an afro due to the COVID stuff, 446 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 1: but he gets his hair cut with us. A purple 447 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: labeled barbershop by Duan Bonds. He's a he's a guy 448 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,719 Speaker 1: who does Kelsey's hair, he does my homes, he does 449 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 1: all the guys. So the Simmons family has been His 450 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 1: dad used to work actually Nebraska Furniture Mark. When I 451 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,640 Speaker 1: got to Kansas City, he was a guy that sold 452 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 1: us our our furniture to moving in town. So I've 453 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: been connected with this young kid for the last twenty 454 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: years and seen him developed from a little a little 455 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 1: run track star, fast as all get out, to now 456 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,880 Speaker 1: a football frame, two hundred forty pounds, six foot four, 457 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,880 Speaker 1: dominating the field, super range, super athletic, athletic, It's off 458 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: the chart. He I mean, do I see him having 459 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: a smooth transition into the NFL? Not really, because there 460 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 1: is no true position for a guy with that kind 461 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: of skill set the defensive. Defensively, you don't ever dream 462 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: of having somebody that skilled in so many different things, 463 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: so nobody ever the design the defense to take advantage 464 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: of his skill set. But where he end up going 465 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: to a team thirsty for a defensive star like the Giants, 466 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,959 Speaker 1: like the Carolina Panthers, it would I can't see him 467 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: ever getting past the Panthers if he's available at the 468 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 1: Panthers pick, they grab him up. They've lost Luke Keeckley, 469 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: a defensive star on their on their roster, and the 470 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: first thing you can do is to replace one star 471 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: with a rising star. And this young man is a 472 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: rising star. Yep, and power to him. Now we go 473 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 1: to the fourth quarter, so the first quarter is get 474 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: used to him. Our divisions picking in that first nineteen picks, 475 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna see some of our future opponent's twenty to 476 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: thirty one close to the flame. Quarter number three, thirty 477 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: second pick. The light is on, and now quarter four 478 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 1: is the rest of the draft. This could get real 479 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: exciting if the Chiefs, let's say, trade out of thirty 480 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 1: two and into the early second round with the Carolina 481 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: or a Detroit Man. It makes that second day really 482 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 1: exciting because now all of a sudden, the Chiefs are 483 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: poised two early round picks. Think again, I gave him 484 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 1: the example before, but when the Chiefs got Chris Jones, 485 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: they dropped from twenty eight to thirty seven early in 486 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: the second round and got Chris Jones an extra picks. 487 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: But there's a bunch of guys here. While we're on 488 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 1: the linebacker page, a guy that's coming up the board. 489 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: I wish I could ask my homes about him. Is 490 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 1: Jordan Brooks of Texas Tech. Now, you don't think a 491 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: Texas Tech defenders very often. They're always out there in 492 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: some crazy game seventy to sixty five and they're just 493 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: chasing guys around. But this Brooks kid has shot up 494 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: the boards and he kind of feels like an early 495 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: second or third round pick to me, and a guy 496 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 1: who could be a guy that ends up starting pretty 497 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: soon in the Chiefs defensive scheme. Yeah, and that's what 498 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 1: I said. One of the tools you have when you 499 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: have such a young team as we have guys that 500 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: are starters on our team. They have played college football 501 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: with guys that are coming out this year. You talked 502 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 1: about one Thornhill, he's you know, he played with Hall, 503 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: the cornerback coming out of Virginia. You talked about the 504 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 1: linebacker from Texas Tech. My Holmes knows this guy. So 505 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: when you have a team as young as we do, 506 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: we can you know we don't. We can. We can 507 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: use the film, we can use our evaluations, but we 508 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 1: can also use our current players. Tap him on the 509 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,719 Speaker 1: show that what was this guy like in the locker room. Um, 510 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: and even though it's only his sophomore or maybe his 511 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 1: freshman year, you can find out some of the what 512 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: makes him work, what motivates him. Is he a dog? 513 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: Is he a alpha? Does he love the weight room 514 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: or that? Those things probably mostly they don't change in 515 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: a four year span over college. And if you can 516 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: get a little bit of insight on a guy hidden 517 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 1: jewel at the linebacker position, um, think about you know 518 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: what we did last year, I mean last few years 519 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:42,880 Speaker 1: with Hawkeye, you know, been Nieming from Iowa. Um, having 520 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: a Hawkeye in the room already with Hitchings as Hitchings 521 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 1: about him a little bit, and Hitchings was able to 522 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 1: kind of give you the hey man, you know, you 523 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: know we're coaching a certain way at Iowa. And watch 524 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: this guy on film. He's doing an awesome job and 525 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: he's just he's shot up the board, he's making plays. 526 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: He has such great football instinct. And we can find 527 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 1: other hidden jewels like dead at positions and add some 528 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: great depth quality special teams. Guys, Hey, just the harp 529 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 1: of win. Do you love to play football? If the 530 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 1: answer is yes, let's bring him here. Let's see. Yeah, 531 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,479 Speaker 1: the third round for the Chiefs historically has really been 532 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 1: the gold money round for the most part. You think 533 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: of Travis Kelsey, you think of Will Shields. I mean 534 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: the third round. I think Bobby Belt was a third 535 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: round or even back in the nineteen sixty three draft 536 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: became a Pro Football Hall of Famer if I'm not mistaken. 537 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: But the point is, we get so much emphasis on 538 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 1: the first round, all the mock drafts, first round, first round, 539 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 1: all hear about for months of the first round. But goodness, Sean, 540 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: you played with some great dudes that were picked in 541 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: the third, the fourth, the fifth, and the sixth. Just 542 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,880 Speaker 1: look at this Chiefs Tyreek Hill was a fifth round pick. 543 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: I mean, you've got to pay attention to this draft 544 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: because of its depth all the way through Saturday, in 545 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 1: my opinion. And then to your point, and this is 546 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: where our COVID nineteen situation of being in the protocol 547 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: that we're in, not having pro days, not getting to 548 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 1: go on campus. I can't go to Richmond and work 549 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: you out to find out more about you, or having 550 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 1: you come here so I can find out more about you. 551 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: Those the more intel you can get. Hey, I know 552 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: this guy, I know a guy at Richmond. Who's gonna 553 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: give me the scoop? He goes, Yep, Barbara is good. 554 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,439 Speaker 1: You can sign him as a college free agent. Because 555 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: the other fascinating part about any draft, but to me 556 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: is more fascinating this year, is the mad scramble after 557 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: the bell stops and now all of a sudden, the 558 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,360 Speaker 1: guys that were not drafted and you're basically college recruiting them. 559 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 1: And we have Priest Holmes was in that discussion. Dudes 560 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: that weren't even drafted. I think Harrison, the linebacker for 561 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh wasn't even a drafted player that becomes a Pro 562 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: Football Hall of Fame caliber player. I mean, you're looking 563 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 1: at guys down through the years. So you've got to 564 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: pay attention to that as well. And that starts Saturday night, 565 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 1: it does. One of the key assets to that ability 566 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: is to be able to call a team and calling 567 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: the agent early before the draft is even over. You 568 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: can start to use your charts and use your formulas. Hey, 569 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 1: we got a handful of guys that are gonna be 570 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: you know, it's the beginning of the seventh round, but 571 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: we should start calling these guys because if they don't 572 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: get drafted, we want to be on high priority. And 573 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: what better call is it if you're an undrafted free 574 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: agent to get a call from the Super Bowl champion 575 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 1: team that say they want you to be one of 576 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: their priority free agents and you have a You get 577 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: to play with a young mad and all star, the 578 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 1: guy that's got the rocket arm. You get to play 579 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 1: with the honey Badger, you get to hunt with the 580 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 1: honey badger, you get to play with the shark Frank Clark. 581 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: The basana of being a part of Chief's Kingdom and 582 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 1: being a part of playing under Andy Reid and coach 583 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 1: Bagno's and Eric b Enemy, right, all these young, exciting 584 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 1: personalities that are just springing coming. You know, it's coming 585 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: out of everywhere. Pat phone call has to be one 586 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: where once that offer is made, you don't even need 587 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: another offer. You're you're you're almost hoping that you don't 588 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 1: get drafted in the seventh round. If the Chiefs call 589 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 1: you say they want you as an undrafted free agent, 590 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 1: that that decision is so crucial to building that that roster, 591 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 1: that back into the roster, turning over those special teams players. 592 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: And I think we have such a great advantage at 593 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: that point and even now because we have no seventh 594 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 1: round peak right without a seventh round pick, we can 595 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: start making this these projections so much earlier than other 596 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 1: teams that are still wheeling and dealing to finish off 597 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: their draft. So we not only get a head start 598 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: because we don't have a seventh round pick, but just 599 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: being who we are, the champion, the Super Bowl champion. 600 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: Can't see the Chiefs that phone call, I think waste 601 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 1: heavy on these free agents. All right, let's close things 602 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 1: up here, let the craziness begin, And again a big 603 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 1: shout out to the folks who have sponsored our draft 604 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 1: coverage all throughout the week.
