I am thinking 12-5, 13-4 is challenging but possible, will depend on contribution of new players.

@mayjay said in Chiefs Draft: @rockchalkjayhawk said in Chiefs Draft: I have to admit…I’ve never ever heard of Fayetteville State! Chiefs took a bigger CB from there. Crazy. How do you scout a kid at that small of a school? From ChiefsWire on USAToday.com: “The Chiefs had a big presence at the HBCU combine, the HBCU Legacy Bowl and made it a point to really dive into these prospects this year. They were able to see Williams at both the Senior Bowl and 2022 NFL Scouting Combine as well.” HBCU coaching has really taken it up a notch recently. Not just the high profile coaches like Deion Sanders and Eddie George, but other, less famous, but equally skilled coaches as well. This has brought attention to those players. There’s significant talent in those ranks, and more top recruits are choosing that route for college, so this won’t be the last time you see the Chiefs take an HBCU player.

Ross is a very good pickup. No risk because he was basically available for nothing, but a potential elite level talent if he’s healthy. This may be the last time we ever talk about him because his body may not hold up, but he could just as likely be in the Pro Bowl in two years.

Not taking anything away from Bengals, Chiefs just choked. I think that coaching staff blew this game away, that play right before halftime was the turning point.

RB position is tough for injuries, unfortunately, CEH, has had a large number of them in his young careers. I am certain that he is under pressure being a first round pick. As an insurance policy, Chiefs have signed Darwin Thompson to the practice squad, he was released earlier by Tampa Bay.

@rockchalkjayhawk said in OBJ — yay or nay to Chiefs: Well, there ya go. OBJ to Chiefs was just clickbait. Rams? didn’t see that coming. I never wanted him anyway. Just an unproductive headcase. Don’t look now but Baltimore lost last night. With a win against the Raiders and some help from the Vikings vs. Chargers this week suddenly things aren’t as dire as they were two weeks ago. I think this is the week Mahomes puts it all together and we go on a run. He’s just too talented to be this pedestrian.

Wonder why big red didn’t challenge that earlier catch?‍️

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Possible some set back for the Chiefs: Gonna be a weird season, if any! The new back should fill in nicely. gonna be interesting how the Season plays out. Looks like it might very well be like baseball with no fans , or very limited. I myself am still trying to come to terms with the Packers, as people know huge GB fan BUT with the way they are trying to screw Aaron around , almost a repeat of Jordy - -this case with Aaron they needed to draft receivers to help him out , so what they do - - they draft a QB , pretty much seals Aaron not finishing out his career with the Pack - - I just don’t get it-v - Aaron is another case where he wanted to finish as a Packer , he is 36 wants to play into his 40’s. - -He says he hold no ill will , understands it’s a business how they ever went 13-3 last year is beyond me , for sure going to be a hard year 0 0really challenges my dedication with the decisions they have made these last few years. Glad I DO like KC fun to watch and explosive, so I also pull for them to win EXCEPT win they play GB So at least I’ll have at least a team that goes far again , but yes your right going to be very interesting year.

@dylans I really hope they are able to keep both players, it will be interesting to see if they wait til after the season starts to offer Mahomes a contract. I’m hoping he wants to continue winning and doesn’t sign a max deal. He seems smart enough to do so. LeBron and Brady had big endorsements that helped. Mahomes already has State Farm, Adidas, Hunts, Amazon and Head & Shoulders. I think they need to bulk up the offensive line first and foremost, then secondary and get some linebackers. Would be tough to do all but if they resign most of the current guys and do 2 of 3. They have a good shot at a repeat baring injuries.

Kietzman was constantly over the line. If he didn’t have an ownership stake, he would have been canned years ago. He’s lucky he lasted as long as he did.

@BShark I do like the RB pick quite a bit.

@wissox Ain’t no seats!

Montana, Green, and Smith were decent. It’s Bono, Cassel, Thigpen, Croyle, Huard, Palko, Orton, and the crap coaches that went with them (Crennel, Cunnigham, Edwards, Haley) that caused the dark ages. IMO

Awesome! I doubt I make it to a game this year. Just too busy and broke. Normally it’s just one or the other lol.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I would be quite pleased with that roster, regardless of which recruits would be added.

Well here to say Congradulations to KC Chiefs - - -yes I know - -that you know that KC is not my top Choice - -I live and die with the Packers - - and yes we sucked for sure this season. Yet hey I’m a true fan - -a true fan sticks with your team through good times and Bad. Yet I still root for KC unless they are playing Green Bay. - -I think we all knew this from watching him for Tech - -Patrick is an absolute stud. - -Great job for KC Organization - - -Good for all KC fans , you are going to have a unbelievable QB for the next several seasons - -hope you all do well in the playoffs. I think IF and again I’m saying IF - -there is anything at all to keep KC out of the Super bowl - -it will be your defense - - - Again before you maul me - -I said IF there was one thing that would keep you out lol Oh one interesting side note – interesting : - -None of the top 6 paid QB’S in the league made the playoffs. - - Aaron 33.5 M - - - - - - Matt Ryan 30 M - - - - - Kirk Cousins 28 M - - - -Jimmy Garoppolo 27.5 M - - - -Matthew Stafford 27 M - - - & Derek Carr -25 M -crazy - -Good luck to ALL the KC fans - -you deserve it. – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Or maybe that guy was the team tailor, trying to get started on attaching the cape…

Offensively, the Chiefs are in good shape. Yesterday we got to see what Hill can do. The safeties were both really keying on Kelce in the middle of the field, and they were trying to take away Hill’s deep ball, so Hill was open underneath (his long pass TD was a lot of RAC yards). As @BShark and @Kcmatt7 said, Kelce and Watkins opened things up for KC against the Chargers. Once teams are having to dedicate an extra guy to control Hill, Watkins will open up, and Kelce will get one on one coverage again. And that doesn’t account for Hunt getting going on the ground. Teams can’t put extra guys in the box, because Hill is too fast to walk up your safeties. The Chiefs offense is going to be very good. Now that defense…

9-7 seems about right based on what I have seen so far…
