00:00:46,920 –> 00:00:49,360

00:01:48,040 –> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: support over the years. Well they’re awesome and appreciate their sponsorship. 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

00:31:00,840 –> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: sponsored that trip as well. And that’s the folks at
