Not a speed burner but a playmaker with good hands.

He’s on fire!

KC started off a bit slow, but they are actually conducting a very intelligent draft.

The Coverage of the NFL draft was insufficient!!

There were many picks that were overlooked, not spoken about at all, there was no integrity to the full list of names being read.

We need More Reading of the names in the order they were picked and to the team they went!
The hosts were too cavalier and uncommitted to the seriousness of the process, it became very unprofessional!!

The reading of the names is Paramount!!!

Of course they would, why would we expect anything less than intelligience they are the Kansas City Chiefs franchise, it's not like they are the Cleveland Browns. There are 32 NFL teams and most of them can stick with a plan and continuity.

But not the first time we have questioned you.

Ok...being a bit harsh. Mostly kidding.

I see it that when we traded back it was a matter of the board not going our way and felt it better to trade back further in to a range in the draft where we have more targeted players.

As for who and why we drafted the players we did, the FO has studied this way more than any of us have, so TRUST is the word to follow, so I trust that 1-2 of them are going to end up pretty solid players, and i think they will.

I like the DB selected and he does fill a need,,,at least a need next year when both Green and Greedy's contracts expire. I doubt we can sign both of them. I also think the Bell pick was solid. He may not be a take it to the yard type player, but he will be a chain mover. I am good with that. The DE...??

I doubt that as I have a lot of respect for our FO. It does seem somewhat 'uninspiring' so far and frankly, put me to sleep. Outside of the trading action, this has been a very dull draft.

It seems like you sucked out all the juice from the last bag so here you go, another bag to suck on today.

I completely agree with but I think it has been happening for a few years and I didn't notice. They are doing to the draft what they did to the Super Bowl. It is not longer really about selections as the presenters have started getting more emphasis. What was with taht two guys , one on the other's shoulder. People complained about ED Marinaro for taking long but he was one of the least annoying to me.

I miss teh all-day events on Tuesday. Much more analysis and info.

I watched ESPN because it's really hard for me to watch Rich Eisen on NFL Network. I like the other guys like Warner, Mooch, and the Playmaker, but Eisen's arrogance is nauseating.

Louis Riddick and Mel Kiper did a great job on ESPN of analyzing the players. Very insightful and Greeny knows how to stay out of the way and keep things moving. I enjoyed it.

I waited a day to post because I was upset with what we did in the second round. I listened to Berry and now I don't feel any better. Hopefully we pick up some contributors with those extra picks. I understand what we did, I just don't agree with it.

The only reason I avoided ESPN was because of Kiper. I watched his shtick for decades and it just got old for me. I prefer both Todd McShay and Daniel Jeremiah over Kiper. So I watched ABC on Thursday with McShay but ABC kept him muzzled for the most part so the very person who knew the draft best spoke the least. I was very disappointed. I'm not a big Eison fan either, but I try to watch the draft for player information and player breakdown not so much the talking heads. That's why I tried the NFL Network last night. It was better.

The draft has just gone too Hollywood for my taste. I understand why. The NFL has made it into a giant three day event with two of those days being prime broadcasts. So the idea is to bring non fans and casual fans to view it. They know they already have people like us who have always watched it. So they "jazz it up" to draw a broader audience. But the fact that I understand why they do it doesn't mean that I like it. As fans most of us are information guys. Watching it now is more Hollywood and less football.

They are always trying to make things "better" and in doing so they make it worse. I don't care for the schtick either. All flash, little substance. I used to like the occasional retired player announcing the pick but I don't get these so called celebrities that I never heard of making the picks. I do like the Make a Wish foundation picks. How about insted of celebrities each team randomly picks a season ticket holder?

I want analysis and highlights of the players. THe draft should be about football, not the glitz.

Rant over -> for now

I record and watch all three channels

I suggest you skip even bothering with the ABC coverage. It was hot garbage.
