Speaker 1: of Defending to the Kingdom and Choulters with your Voice

00:00:21,079 –> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 1: of the Chiefs along with Chiefs reporter Matt mcmull A

8
00:00:23,120 –> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: little sleep deprived, but that’s okay. An exciting round one

9
00:00:27,440 –> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: for the Kansas City Chiefs. So we’re entitling this episode.

10
00:00:30,720 –> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: We weren’t kidding. Why go back if you haven’t watched

11
00:00:34,800 –> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: last week’s episode where we talked about this draft of

12
00:00:37,440 –> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: being a draft of volume for the Chiefs, having twelve

13
00:00:40,600 –> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: picks entering the draft value there’s players wow all throughout

14
00:00:45,360 –> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: this draft and then three victory. How do you win

15
00:00:47,520 –> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two NFL Draft. So it starts Matt

16
00:00:51,040 –> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: with the two first round picks, and I think that

17
00:00:54,160 –> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: all three boxes are checked there with these two picks,

18
00:00:56,920 –> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: with the Chiefs getting cornerback Trent mcduffee from the University

19
00:00:59,360 –> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: of Washington trading up to the twenty one to get

20
00:01:01,800 –> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: him and then having George call off just fall to him,

21
00:01:04,760 –> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: to them the Chiefs at pick number thirty, it’s tremendous value.

22
00:01:08,360 –> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: We’re going to talk all about it, because the draft

23
00:01:10,319 –> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: is all about value, right, It’s just as much about

24
00:01:12,800 –> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: value as it is about the talent that you’re getting,

25
00:01:15,040 –> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: Because if you’re selecting talent at a spot where maybe

26
00:01:18,120 –> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: they could have been available later, it’s like, well, was

27
00:01:20,240 –> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: that a good decision with this draft? That’s not the case.

28
00:01:23,319 –> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: The Chief’s got great value and great talent at both

29
00:01:26,360 –> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: of their selections. But first, Mitch, even though this is

30
00:01:29,400 –> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: kind of like trip around the world, this is like

31
00:01:31,040 –> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: an emergency podcast kind of episode, which we never really do.

32
00:01:33,840 –> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: You know, we’re kind of on a schedule, but this

33
00:01:35,680 –> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: is like an emergency podcast. But still we’re gonna go

34
00:01:38,280 –> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: around the world because we should so, and we’ll throw

35
00:01:40,600 –> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: in Austin wood Austin Woodard who came from Joplin. We

36
00:01:44,040 –> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: set up our board, so yeah, Joplin’s not far away,

37
00:01:46,560 –> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: but we’ll put him in there just because we need to.

38
00:01:48,320 –> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: We should have Austin on DTK sometimes people will I

39
00:01:50,760 –> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: should Yeah, yeah, I think that’d be great. Okay, so

Speaker 1: the Yellowstone. Chiefs Big Sky Kingdom on the Yellowstone. Very cool.

63
00:03:22,440 –> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: Then we have Kyle declared Memphis as Chiefs Kingdom Mid South,

64
00:03:26,560 –> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: but Anthony checked in and said maybe that should be

65
00:03:28,800 –> 00:03:32,800

00:03:32,840 –> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: from Chino, California. Jonathan is listening from Wichita. We have

67
00:03:36,360 –> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: a listener in Ohio, a fan of twenty five years.

68
00:03:39,160 –> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: And then Mark declared Montana as Chiefs Kingdom North. But

69
00:03:42,080 –> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: he said he declared this years ago, so we’ll give

70
00:03:44,720 –> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: him credit there. And those are all our people around

71
00:03:47,040 –> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: the world. You’ve been to Smith Center, of course for

72
00:03:49,040 –> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: the Home in the Range Springs celebration that was last week,

73
00:03:51,240 –> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: and Tray Smith was there, by the way, fabulous, awesome dude.

74
00:03:55,040 –> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: But Matt Lyon has a thirty minute commute every day.

75
00:03:58,160 –> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: To ward. He listens to every Defending the Kingdom podcast,

76
00:04:02,200 –> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: sometimes twice over, and his son I believes in like

77
00:04:05,280 –> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: seventh grade or sixth grade is the same. They share

78
00:04:08,440 –> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: it by listening to Defending the Kingdom. It’s awesome. We

79
00:04:11,320 –> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: appreciate that. We love it so big. Shout out to

80
00:04:14,120 –> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: our folks around the world. Nothing from Shingle House, Pennsylvania

81
00:04:17,040 –> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: this week, Not this week, Okay, Yeah, hopefully we’ll hear

82
00:04:19,400 –> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: from them since we’re gonna have another episode on Monday

83
00:04:22,240 –> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: recapping the entire draft, So let us know where you’re

84
00:04:24,640 –> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: listening from and we’ll check in again on Monday. That’ll

85
00:04:26,960 –> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: be important because when we close this episode, we’ll tell

86
00:04:29,920 –> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: you what these next two days could possibly do for

87
00:04:32,560 –> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. But now let’s review quickly what happened last

88
00:04:35,560 –> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: night and Trent mcduffey. It’s very, really interesting we talk

89
00:04:38,839 –> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: about value in this draft or any draft. McDuffie was

90
00:04:43,080 –> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: on most boards, rated as the eleventh, twelve, thirteenth player

91
00:04:46,800 –> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: on our board, of course, which is you know the

92
00:04:49,360 –> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: board bulletproof yestuboard. You me and Austin Woodard, a little

93
00:04:52,839 –> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: bit of Rob Alberino. We had him right during that

94
00:04:56,400 –> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: eleven twelfth thirteen range. He drops ten spots. But let’s

95
00:05:00,240 –> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: just talk about Trent mcduffee first. I’ll start and why

96
00:05:03,000 –> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: does he scheme fit the Chiefs Kingdom of the Kansas

97
00:05:05,320 –> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: City Chiefs and Steve Spagnolo’s defense. First of all, the

98
00:05:08,480 –> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: dude is fearless. Three year player at the University of Washington.

99
00:05:11,960 –> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: Some knocking that he’s not a six to one corner.

100
00:05:14,920 –> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: He’s five eleven, but there’s enough girth. But he is fearless.

101
00:05:18,640 –> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: He even he compared his game to the honey Badger

102
00:05:21,600 –> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: Tyrn Matthew last night. A hundred tackles. That fits. If

103
00:05:25,160 –> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 1: you’re gonna play corner for Steve Spagnolo, you’ve got to

104
00:05:27,920 –> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: say what I say on the air. You got to

105
00:05:29,800 –> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: put your nose in the apple butter. You cannot sit

106
00:05:32,120 –> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: there and just fly around and go, hey, you tackle him.

107
00:05:34,920 –> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: I’ll just run around three good enough man defender, good

108
00:05:38,839 –> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 1: man defender. He has man Tomand’s skills. Some say, well, gosh,

109
00:05:41,920 –> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: at Washington he played a lot of his own. This

110
00:05:43,920 –> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: guy has man to Man’s skills. Trent mcduffee dropping to

111
00:05:47,720 –> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: the Chiefs enough for Brett Beach to trade up with

112
00:05:50,400 –> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: New England to get him. It’s just crazy value once again,

113
00:05:53,320 –> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: and we have been talking about like twenty to twenty

114
00:05:56,160 –> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: five guys that made sense that we’re realistic, and the

115
00:05:58,880 –> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: range for the Chiefs at the back ended the first round.

116
00:06:00,880 –> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: We’ve been doing this for months, and we never talked

117
00:06:03,320 –> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: about Trent mcduffee, not because he’s not good, it’s because

118
00:06:06,520 –> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: he’s so good. It was unrealistic he would even be

119
00:06:08,920 –> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: close to that point. We just never thought it was

120
00:06:11,440 –> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: a possibility, and Brett Veach admitted as much last night

121
00:06:14,240 –> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: in his post draft presser. He said, we didn’t have

122
00:06:17,040 –> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 1: a scenario where trump mcduffee was available this late in

123
00:06:20,080 –> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: the first round because we just didn’t think it was plausible.

124
00:06:22,520 –> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: He mentioned some of the rankings. Pro Football Focus had

125
00:06:25,080 –> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: him as the number eleven overall player, number two corner,

126
00:06:28,440 –> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: behind only Sauce Gardner. The Athletics same thing, number twelve overall,

127
00:06:32,600 –> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: number two corner behind Sauce Gardner. Derek Stingley is behind

128
00:06:36,360 –> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: him in these rankings, and he went third overall, and

129
00:06:38,680 –> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: then Daniel Jeremiah had him at number fourteen overall, the

130
00:06:41,520 –> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: number three overall corner. He’s five foot eleven, one hundred

131
00:06:45,160 –> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: and ninety three pounds. You mentioned that, but he plays

132
00:06:47,040 –> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: bigger than his size. All the draft experts mentioned that

133
00:06:49,560 –> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: he plays bigger than his size out there, as you

134
00:06:51,320 –> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: can’t just look at the measurables and his stats last

135
00:06:54,080 –> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: season speak for themselves. I mean, he only allowed sixteen

136
00:06:57,080 –> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: catches on thirty six targets last season for one hundred

137
00:07:00,560 –> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: and eleven yards the entire season. All right, that was

138
00:07:03,720 –> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: the fewest yards allowed for any corner that played that

139
00:07:06,640 –> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: was targeted at least thirty times in all of college football.

140
00:07:10,120 –> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: Zero touchdowns allowed in each of the last two years.

141
00:07:14,120 –> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: He only allowed two deep receptions, so passes of twenty

142
00:07:17,600 –> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: or more yards his entire career, so you couldn’t target

143
00:07:20,880 –> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: him deep. He had a fifty two passer rating allowed

144
00:07:24,160 –> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: last year across two hundred and ninety six coverage snaps.

145
00:07:27,320 –> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: That’s fantastic, and he allowed at three point one yards

146
00:07:31,120 –> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: per target last year, also best in the FBS. I mean,

147
00:07:34,800 –> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are getting perhaps the best corner in all

148
00:07:36,800 –> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: of college football over the last three years, and they

149
00:07:39,360 –> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: got him at pick number twenty one. This is again

150
00:07:42,080 –> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: what the draft is all about. You’re looking for exceptional talent, yes,

151
00:07:45,920 –> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: but you also want value and if you can find

152
00:07:48,320 –> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: a guy that could arguably be a top twelve pick,

153
00:07:51,040 –> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: a guy that everyone thought would be a top twelve pick.

154
00:07:53,760 –> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: You can get him at twenty one. That’s a steal.

155
00:07:57,280 –> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: Two thoughts here too, as we close on Trent for

156
00:07:59,400 –> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: this episode one the Path or the Future and to

157
00:08:04,040 –> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: the past. What the Chiefs have done now really over

158
00:08:06,240 –> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: the last three drafts, and for sure the last two

159
00:08:09,440 –> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: is drafted culture builders. You look at a Nicko Bolton

160
00:08:12,800 –> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: on defense and what we’re gonna get the carl off

161
00:08:15,240 –> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: this here in a second. These guys are wicked smart,

162
00:08:18,280 –> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: wicked smart, tough, They’re agile and versatile. Plus they love

163
00:08:24,800 –> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: to play football. I know that sounds cliche, but in

164
00:08:27,880 –> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: this day and age, when you look at a good

165
00:08:30,440 –> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: deal of compensation for high round draft picks, who is

166
00:08:33,800 –> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: doing it for the money and who is doing it

167
00:08:35,840 –> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: for the money and loves to play football? Nick Bolton

168
00:08:39,280 –> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: loves to play football. So does one Thornhill. Justin reads

169
00:08:42,800 –> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: the same way. And then you look at these two

170
00:08:44,960 –> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: guys they love to play the past and I put

171
00:08:48,960 –> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: this out on Twitter, the Chiefs have had four corners

172
00:08:51,559 –> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: selected in the first round. You saw this. It created

173
00:08:54,120 –> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: some stir a little bit, but these four real quickly.

174
00:08:57,280 –> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: James Jim Marcellus take a number in the first round

175
00:09:00,400 –> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: of nineteen sixty nine AFL draft. He was the final

176
00:09:02,880 –> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: piece for the Chiefs to win Super Bowl four. Really

177
00:09:05,840 –> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: ahead of his time as a shutdown corner, multiple Pro Bowls,

178
00:09:09,800 –> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: All Pro two. Gary Green, He’s in the Hall of

179
00:09:13,320 –> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: Honor nineteen seventy seven out of Baylor, multi time All

180
00:09:16,800 –> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 1: Pro Pro bowler, third Dale Carter at this Dale the

181
00:09:20,880 –> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: different personality than Trent mcduffey, but he was a defensive

182
00:09:24,280 –> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: rookie of the year. And then Marcus Peters taken in

183
00:09:26,880 –> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: the first round of twenty fifteen, the defensive rookie of

184
00:09:29,120 –> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: the year. Now do you dub same school? One hundred

185
00:09:32,360 –> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: and three interceptions combined with those guys and multi Pro

186
00:09:36,040 –> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: Bowls and All pros? All right, So there is a

187
00:09:37,960 –> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: precedent here, at least some tradition for Trent mcduffy to

188
00:09:41,080 –> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: walk into as a first round corner. All right, let’s

189
00:09:43,640 –> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: segue into the second. Now pick in the first round,

190
00:09:46,400 –> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: and you and I in Austin, we’re watching the picks

191
00:09:49,280 –> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: after mcduffey was chosen. So now, from twenty two to

192
00:09:52,200 –> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: twenty nine it got a little weird. Yeah, okay, but

193
00:09:55,920 –> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: the unwird part of this was the fact that George

194
00:09:58,720 –> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: Carloft this falls to the Chiefs at thirty and most

195
00:10:02,600 –> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: of the boards, and we had him on our board

196
00:10:04,760 –> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: in the twenty to twenty two range. So much like

197
00:10:08,240 –> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: mcduffey falling ten slots, here’s Karloft just that falls about

198
00:10:12,520 –> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: the same number of slots. Yeah, it gets back to

199
00:10:14,360 –> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: the value and I think we saw some interesting things

200
00:10:17,840 –> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: happen around one that we can talk about. But when

201
00:10:19,880 –> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: players are drafted in the first round that people maybe

202
00:10:22,520 –> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: didn’t expect to be first round picks, all of a sudden,

203
00:10:25,040 –> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: that pushes the chalk guys, guys like George Carloftis, who

204
00:10:28,440 –> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: everyone agreed would be a first round pick, pushes them down.

205
00:10:31,240 –> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: And all Brett Veach had to do was stay at

206
00:10:33,200 –> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: thirty and George Karloftis falls in his lap and he’s like,

207
00:10:36,200 –> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: all right, let’s do this. I mean, this guy is

208
00:10:38,400 –> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: one of the best pass rushers in the entire draft.

209
00:10:41,240 –> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: What I love most about him though, is he is young.

210
00:10:43,320 –> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: He’s twenty one years old, very new to football. He’s

211
00:10:46,080 –> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: a super interesting story where he moved to the United

212
00:10:48,640 –> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: States from Greece when he was thirteen years old. He

213
00:10:51,559 –> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: was a water polo player in grease and did track

214
00:10:55,320 –> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: and field and shot put in high school in the US,

215
00:10:57,960 –> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: but didn’t start playing football until pretty late and realize

216
00:11:00,679 –> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: he’s pretty good at it. And I was a first

217
00:11:02,520 –> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: round draft pick. But this guy, I think his best

218
00:11:04,960 –> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: football is ahead of him. And Brett Veach coach read

219
00:11:07,520 –> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: even George post draft all said that, so you don’t

220
00:11:10,800 –> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: find guys like this very often that are as powerful

221
00:11:13,120 –> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: and strong as George Carloftis is, and when they feel

222
00:11:16,360 –> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: like their best football is ahead of them as super exciting.

223
00:11:19,120 –> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: I also love just his attitude about football. I mean,

224
00:11:21,840 –> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: I was reading some things from his head coach at

225
00:11:24,080 –> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: Perdue about how even though he was the best athlete

226
00:11:27,600 –> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: out there, he was the first guy at the facility

227
00:11:30,360 –> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: every day trying to get better, and like you said, yeah,

228
00:11:32,559 –> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: that sounds cliche, but those things are important. I mentioned

229
00:11:35,440 –> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: on our livestream last night that a lot of these

230
00:11:38,040 –> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: prospects and a lot of the players that will be

231
00:11:40,000 –> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: taken in this draft have been the best athlete that

232
00:11:42,840 –> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 1: all of their friends and competition have known their entire life.

233
00:11:45,600 –> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: All they had to rely on was their own ability

234
00:11:47,640 –> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: their whole life, and it wasn’t very hard, right Well,

235
00:11:50,400 –> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: the NFL isn’t like that. Everyone’s the best athlete in

236
00:11:53,440 –> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: the NFL. But if you already have the mentality of

237
00:11:56,240 –> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: I have to outwork everybody to get better every single day,

238
00:12:00,080 –> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: that’s going to help you a ton in the NFL.

239
00:12:02,559 –> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: And I think George Carloftis has that mentality. He said

240
00:12:05,440 –> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: last night after he was drafted. I mean, he’s just

241
00:12:07,679 –> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: been made a first round pick, right You’re feeling like

242
00:12:10,000 –> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: you’re the man, Right Well, he said, I’m gonna come

243
00:12:12,120 –> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: in and be at the very bottom of the totem

244
00:12:13,960 –> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: pole and I’m gonna earn my stripes. I just love

245
00:12:16,440 –> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: that mentality from a guy that’s already uber talented. So

246
00:12:19,800 –> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: very excited for George carloftas a great college player. PFF

247
00:12:23,400 –> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: said that he was the steel of round one. He

248
00:12:25,640 –> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: was the number ten overall player. But is what he

249
00:12:29,120 –> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: can do in the future. I think that excites me most.

250
00:12:31,640 –> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: You just described though, the characteristics of Trey Smith, Creed Humphrey,

251
00:12:35,520 –> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 1: and Nicko Bole. That’s why these two guys McDuffie and

252
00:12:39,480 –> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: Karloftis fit right in his culture builders not just on

253
00:12:42,080 –> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: the defense, your subculture. We talk about subcultures that are

254
00:12:44,840 –> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: within a team. Not only Steve spegnoll is subculture, but

255
00:12:47,720 –> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: really one, even with the young players, that can spread

256
00:12:50,120 –> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: throughout the entire team. Karloftas is versatile. He can play

257
00:12:53,960 –> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: on the edge, he can play inside. There have been

258
00:12:56,080 –> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: Ryan Carrigan comparisons, there have been Trey Hendrickson comparisons. He

259
00:13:00,200 –> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: also is durable. People kind of snicker and laugh at Oh,

260
00:13:03,160 –> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: this is a Greek guy that played water polo. You

261
00:13:05,440 –> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: ever tried playing water polo? Lasted like ten seconds. I go,

262
00:13:09,480 –> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: you don’t get a touch, Like if I can touch,

263
00:13:12,200 –> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 1: you know, let’s go, I can wing the No, you

264
00:13:14,000 –> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: don’t get a touch. You’re treading water the whole time,

265
00:13:16,559 –> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: catching the ball, taking the ball in the face. You’re

266
00:13:18,960 –> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: swallowing water. Not fun, it’s snow fun. It’s like, I’m

267
00:13:22,440 –> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: done with this, Like, where’s let’s go play polo ball.

268
00:13:26,240 –> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: But you have to be incredibly Your lung capacity’s got

269
00:13:30,440 –> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: to be amazing to do it. And here’s Karloftis. You

270
00:13:33,840 –> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: mentioned it last night, But this guy was averaging fifty

271
00:13:36,880 –> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 1: snaps a game and every week. So he’s durable. He’s versatile,

272
00:13:41,679 –> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: He smart, and he’s tough, and I think a great

273
00:13:43,920 –> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 1: scheme fit in the word that he kept using to

274
00:13:46,600 –> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: describe himself, the word that Brett Vitch used and Coach

275
00:13:49,720 –> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: Reid used one word to describe this guy, relentless, And

276
00:13:53,240 –> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: I think it applies to every aspect of his life.

277
00:13:55,960 –> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 1: And that relentlessness is because he is so versatile. Can

278
00:13:59,240 –> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: play outside on the edge or play inside. He’s big.

279
00:14:01,960 –> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 1: I mean he’s six foot two, two hundred and sixty

280
00:14:04,240 –> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: six pounds, so you can bounce him inside and play

281
00:14:06,360 –> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: him three tech when you need to, particularly maybe in

282
00:14:09,000 –> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: passing situations. But he’s also an iron man, like you said,

283
00:14:12,600 –> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he played at least forty nine snaps in

284
00:14:14,679 –> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: all but one game last year. He always wants to

285
00:14:17,040 –> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: be on the field, no matter the situation. Sometimes you

286
00:14:19,640 –> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: have passed rushers that just want to get sacks and

287
00:14:22,680 –> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: they want to be on the field on third and

288
00:14:24,240 –> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: long and you know, tee off and get a sack,

289
00:14:26,720 –> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: and that’s great, but that’s not always a football player.

290
00:14:30,120 –> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: Like you want a football player who no matter what,

291
00:14:32,560 –> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: if it’s third and one, first and ten, third and fifteen,

292
00:14:36,200 –> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: they want to be on the field. And that’s George Karloftis.

293
00:14:38,720 –> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: He’s relentless and wants to be out there no matter

294
00:14:40,800 –> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: what and do whatever you can to help the team.

295
00:14:43,240 –> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: And that’s what I love about this dude. I mean,

296
00:14:44,880 –> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: that’s what you want in the NFL, and the Chiefs

297
00:14:46,840 –> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: are trying to really remake their defense here have a

298
00:14:49,400 –> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: culture shift and adding a guy like that that wants

299
00:14:51,920 –> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: to be out there no matter what and we’ll give

300
00:14:53,640 –> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: it his all no matter what is very exciting. Yeah,

301
00:14:56,320 –> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: if you Chiefs, Kingdom fans have got to love the

302
00:14:59,280 –> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: fact that this defense could really be something and changing

303
00:15:03,560 –> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: the way kind of we viewed defense really over the

304
00:15:06,240 –> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: last couple of years with the Kansas City Chiefs of

305
00:15:09,680 –> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: being just good enough. This group can take that past

306
00:15:12,360 –> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: that and who else wants to watch one on ones

307
00:15:15,160 –> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: when Carloftus is going to rep inside against Tray Smith

308
00:15:18,080 –> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: and Saint Joe. I’ll be there on that day to

309
00:15:20,360 –> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: see it. Is he rerapping outsidurday it’s all rights against

310
00:15:22,720 –> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: Tray Smith. I’m in you know, so that will be

311
00:15:25,640 –> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: fun and worth the price of free admission or or less.

312
00:15:29,080 –> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: It’s one of those special days at Saint Joe at

313
00:15:31,280 –> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: training camp. But so excited about Trent mcduffee and George

314
00:15:34,240 –> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: Carloftas to go back to last week’s podcast, there’s a

315
00:15:39,120 –> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: volume in the draft that Chief said volume in the

316
00:15:41,960 –> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: with coming in with twelve picks, use that collateral to

317
00:15:44,320 –> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: make the trade up to get mcduffee who fell to them.

318
00:15:47,320 –> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: Two in the fact that there is value, all right,

319
00:15:50,440 –> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: that leads us as we close out this edition of

320
00:15:53,200 –> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: Defending the Kingdom. Now some of you will watch this

321
00:15:56,200 –> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: after Friday and after Saturday. Keep in mind, we’re gonna

322
00:15:59,760 –> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: have an another the thing that the Kingdom on Monday,

323
00:16:01,400 –> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: where we’re going to look back at everything that happened

324
00:16:03,400 –> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: over the weekend. But as it stands right now is

325
00:16:06,000 –> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: we’re recording this. The Chiefs are getting ready to go

326
00:16:09,760 –> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: into Friday with picks fifty sixty two and one oh

327
00:16:13,360 –> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: three strategically placed, very strategically placed. And let’s just give

328
00:16:17,800 –> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: a global view here, Matt. People have said, well, what

329
00:16:20,760 –> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: are they targeting, Well, here’s what’s available inside back or

330
00:16:23,200 –> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: wide receiver, quarterback, inside technique edge again if you’re looking

331
00:16:27,200 –> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: at maybe a compliment to karloftis and then the return game.

332
00:16:31,000 –> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: The return game could be addressed on Friday by the

333
00:16:34,360 –> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. So it’ll be fun when we go

334
00:16:36,440 –> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: back and do our show Monday to see what happened.

335
00:16:38,640 –> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: But still people go gushes, there anybody left, there’s there’s

336
00:16:43,640 –> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: complete ten laptops full of guys left. Yeah. Brett confirmed

337
00:16:48,440 –> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: after the draft after round one yesterday that really any

338
00:16:51,800 –> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: position was on the table except for quarterback. Shocking, no

339
00:16:55,040 –> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: quarterbacks probably for the Chiefs today. But to your point,

340
00:16:57,120 –> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: but to your point, the quarter there’s gonna be a

341
00:16:59,040 –> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: quarterback run. Look who’s left? That’s uh howell? Yeah, yeah,

342
00:17:06,080 –> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: so they’re all left. That’s that’s if you’re watching this

343
00:17:10,280 –> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: before round two gets started and you’re a Chiefs fan,

344
00:17:13,359 –> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: be hoping for that quarterback run because it will push

345
00:17:15,840 –> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: talent down the draft. Lots of good players still available.

346
00:17:19,040 –> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: We’ve been talking all along that the real strength of

347
00:17:21,400 –> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: this draft is really on Day two, and Brett said

348
00:17:23,960 –> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: as much yesterday because he said, we love Thursday, but

349
00:17:26,880 –> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: we’re really excited for Friday because you have three picks

350
00:17:29,920 –> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: in this range of players that are just really good,

351
00:17:32,680 –> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: solid players. I think a lot of depth in this area.

352
00:17:35,480 –> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: And Nakobe Dean is somehow still available. I don’t know how.

353
00:17:39,359 –> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: He’ll probably go early. Um here in round two. But

354
00:17:42,800 –> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: George Pickens still out there, Sky Moore, Christian Watson, some

355
00:17:45,840 –> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: very good receivers still available, and some good edge rushers

356
00:17:48,720 –> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 1: if the Chiefs want to continue to add to their

357
00:17:50,240 –> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: defensive front. Guys like boy Mafe, Arnold Ebequide and David

358
00:17:54,000 –> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: Ajabo still out there. I could go on and on,

359
00:17:57,160 –> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: but lots of good players still available. I’m so excited

360
00:18:00,400 –> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: for Round two and I can’t wait to recap it

361
00:18:02,440 –> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: after the fact because I’m really pumped about the first round.

362
00:18:06,240 –> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: But truly, the depth and strength of this draft and

363
00:18:08,840 –> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: where teams can win this draft, I think is Day two,

364
00:18:12,760 –> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: and you could find a really good, perhaps a starting

365
00:18:16,359 –> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: right tackle on Day two of this draft. There’s a

366
00:18:19,200 –> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: bunch of really good tackles left on the board on

367
00:18:22,000 –> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: the offensive line, at the very least a young swing

368
00:18:24,440 –> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: tackle who can eventually move into a starting role. You know,

369
00:18:29,320 –> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 1: I was on earlier today on our flagship station of

370
00:18:32,200 –> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: the largest network of the National Football League on the

371
00:18:35,200 –> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 1: Chiefs Radio network, six ten Sports Radio here in Kan’t

372
00:18:38,440 –> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: City on All with Bob Fesco and Josh Klingler. I

373
00:18:41,680 –> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: listened on the way in. Well you heard me say,

374
00:18:44,400 –> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 1: today feels like another first round. Yeah, usually you don’t

375
00:18:47,640 –> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: feel this like the first round is just full of

376
00:18:49,320 –> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: all these guys and you’re like, Okay, what are we

377
00:18:50,840 –> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: gonna do in the second? I have the same feeling

378
00:18:53,200 –> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: today of the Chiefs making as much of an impact

379
00:18:57,960 –> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: today and tomorrow as they did on Round one. This

380
00:19:02,000 –> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: is this is just a very different draft. But don’t

381
00:19:05,600 –> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: you feel a Day one excitement even though it’s Day two? Yeah?

382
00:19:08,080 –> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: I really do. Now. The one thing with the Round

383
00:19:10,080 –> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: one guys that really excites me with McDuffie and carloftis

384
00:19:13,400 –> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: is we get that fifth year option. I think that’s

385
00:19:15,440 –> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: something that really to keep in mind there that you

386
00:19:17,160 –> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: get an extra year basically of each of those guys.

387
00:19:19,880 –> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: So I’m excited about that. But once again, there’s the

388
00:19:22,320 –> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: strength of this draft is on day two, and for

389
00:19:24,800 –> 00:19:26,959
Speaker 1: the teams that aren’t picking until pick like one oh

390
00:19:27,080 –> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: five on day three, that’s problematic because you’re missing out

391
00:19:31,359 –> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 1: on just a lot of good, solid depth in this draft.

392
00:19:34,920 –> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 1: The Chiefs have three picks on day two, what fifty

393
00:19:38,760 –> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 1: sixty two and one oh three, and they have these

394
00:19:43,480 –> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: picks where they can really do some damage here and

395
00:19:45,400 –> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: I can’t wait to see what direction they go in.

396
00:19:47,560 –> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: I’m excited because we went edge in corner and address

397
00:19:50,680 –> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: those two spots, spots we really felt like we needed

398
00:19:52,840 –> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: to address because there’s just not a lot of depth

399
00:19:55,040 –> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: there right now. But when you do that in the

400
00:19:57,119 –> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: first round, it opens things up on day two where

401
00:20:00,480 –> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: if there’s two really good players, one is position A,

402
00:20:03,359 –> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: one is position B, you’ve already addressed one of them,

403
00:20:05,920 –> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: so you feel comfortable going with the best player available.

404
00:20:08,440 –> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: And that’s really the hope with the Chiefs in the

405
00:20:10,600 –> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: second and third round. So we’ll see what happens. They

406
00:20:12,520 –> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: can’t wait to talk about it in just a couple

407
00:20:14,280 –> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 1: of days. But we’re going to be in the conference

408
00:20:16,520 –> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: room with our board upstairs, crossing off names and we’ve

409
00:20:19,000 –> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: got to redo our board, right, you always have to

410
00:20:20,680 –> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: adjust the board for day two. That’s where we’re going

411
00:20:22,600 –> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 1: right after this. Yeah, but it’s gonna be a lot

412
00:20:24,240 –> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: of fun and just seeing what happens. But if you’re

413
00:20:27,240 –> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: a Chiefs fan, buckle up for round two and round

414
00:20:29,960 –> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: three because we’re gonna get some good players and good

415
00:20:32,000 –> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: wide receivers are still there. So people have like, oh,

416
00:20:34,800 –> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: wide receivers are all gone. Even with the run in

417
00:20:36,920 –> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: the first round, no, there’s a punch that are still there.

418
00:20:40,680 –> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 1: Make sure that you whip around again with us on Monday,

419
00:20:44,760 –> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: because we will redo or I’m sorry, we will recap

420
00:20:47,400 –> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: everything that happened on Friday and Saturday on Defending the Kingdom.

421
00:20:50,880 –> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: But you know there are times, Matt, when we do

422
00:20:53,880 –> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: Defending the Kingdoms where we’re not kidding, and when we

423
00:20:57,400 –> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 1: do last when we did last week’s show of volume

424
00:21:00,720 –> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: value in victory, we weren’t kidding. Well, it’s like when

425
00:21:03,480 –> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: we do field pass before games, and it doesn’t always work.

426
00:21:07,080 –> 00:21:09,479
Speaker 1: Sometimes we make predictions and it doesn’t go that way.

427
00:21:09,520 –> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: But more often than not, though we make predictions and

428
00:21:13,119 –> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: say things and have a hypothesis and it actually plays

429
00:21:15,560 –> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: out in the game, and then on rewind we can

430
00:21:17,400 –> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: be like, see this is great. Well I kind of

431
00:21:19,520 –> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: feel that way going into this draft because we talked

432
00:21:21,560 –> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: about the volume and the value and that’s how you

433
00:21:24,480 –> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: have victory, and this draft is capitalizing on those things

434
00:21:28,240 –> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: and in that same vein That’s why I’m glad that

435
00:21:30,800 –> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: Chiefs didn’t give a whole haul to trade up to

436
00:21:33,840 –> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: like ten or something. You know, that would have been

437
00:21:35,880 –> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: really exciting to get a player that high. But they

438
00:21:38,400 –> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: didn’t have to do that. They got a guy in

439
00:21:40,000 –> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: Trim McDuffie who probably should have been picked that high.

440
00:21:42,880 –> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: They got him at twenty one and still maintained a

441
00:21:45,480 –> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: bunch of their picks. And that’s the beauty of this.

442
00:21:47,800 –> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: They still have a bunch of picks to go and

443
00:21:49,680 –> 00:21:52,719
Speaker 1: they can still do some damage. We weren’t kidding now.

444
00:21:52,760 –> 00:21:54,719
Speaker 1: We’re not always right. If we’re wrong, you never hear

445
00:21:54,760 –> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: from it again. But when we’re right, we’ll remind you

446
00:21:57,119 –> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: he’s Matt McMullen, the Matt standing himself. Chiefs Reporter Ima

447
00:22:00,520 –> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: Chulter’s voice to the Chiefs again. We’ll have another defending

448
00:22:02,920 –> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: the Kingdom that we will post on Monday to review

449
00:22:05,520 –> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: the entire weekend. Touch down down and the celebration begins

450
00:22:12,560 –> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: in their head
