I'm ok with that, couldn't keep him, Wagner and Reed now Wilson has been paid and getting a first round in return (plus a second next year even if it will be a late second in all likelihood) is huge. Gives us so much more room to play with in this draft considering we only had 4 picks before this, now we've got two first rounders we can trade down.

Frank Clark is really good don't get me wrong but that's a bit of a rich trade and contract.

 

[Phil]

I didn't want to lose him but it was inevitable with those demands and Wagner and Reed's contacts coming up.

This haul will certainly help ease that pain.. And 12 picks for next year.

I’m with you. That’s insane draft capital more than anything. The contract, meh, every Tom Dick and Harry seems to be getting paid these days. But that’s a steep price, especially when there is a rich defensive class a couple days away.

Is that a good deal for the Chiefs? For that price you can move up and pick one of the top DL rookies who will be on a rookie contract.

 

[mav_9me]

Couldn't they have used the same deal to move up this draft a bit higher and get somebody good on a rookie scale? I guess not as good but cheaper?

 

[Eboue]

Not great, KC.

Yep, the 1999 NFL draft was just as crazy as you thought

Did Bill Polian Make The Right Trade With Marshall Faulk?

In 1999, Marshall Faulk almost got traded to the Baltimore Ravens instead of the St. Louis Rams

 

[HTG]

That’s a horrible trade and contract for the Chiefs.

Guessing they are thinking that given they have a couple of years of Mahomes on a rookie deal, better to spend more on a proven player who can guarantee 10+ sacks next year than gamble on a rookie. Still think it's a poor deal for them though.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Assume Seahawks would trade that away for more picks this season...

Can't wait to see how badly Gruden and Mayock feck up the draft for the Raiders. I'm guessing they either needlessly trade up for one of the poor QB's in the draft, or trade out of 4th spot, miss out on a premier pass rusher in the quest to get day 2 picks, and end up with more receivers and o-line. Still going to wait up to watch it... or at least the first half dozen picks

Fecking drama queen with his retirement bullshit every other year. I hope they finish last in the AFC North.

So I am currently sat at Nashville airport (gf’s cousin wedding) and a massive guy in blue tracksuit with an orange tiger on (tanned skin, looked almost Samoan) walked past with cameras following him as he talked about it being a blessing to be drafted into the league. Any ideas?

From his build, possibly a lineman

 

[Ayush_reddevil]

That big Ben contact is bonkers

 

[Eboue]

On January 17, 2015, the Buffalo Bills reached a two-year deal with Kromer to be the team's new offensive line coach.[8] He was later suspended for 6 games by the Buffalo Bills after punching a child in the face, throwing his fishing pole in the lake, then threatening to kill his entire family.[9]

 

[ha_rooney]

That contract for Ben is ridiculous.

 

[altodevil]

I usually stay up for the draft, but can't this year due to work. Anyone know anywhere I can rewatch/download spoiler-free?

 

[Eboue]

probably

this is really cool and further evidence that picking running backs in the first round is stupid

[Rado_N]

Why was he 'running' with such tiny strides?!

 

[RoadTrip]

Yeah I didn’t really understand that video

He looked impaired for some reason

 

[Eboue]

I think I'd run like an 8 second 40

 

[Rado_N]

Zeke looks like Questlove.

Honestly some of the worst running form I've ever seen. Virtually zero knee lift, and little skipping steps.

He looked like he really needed to get to the bathroom.

 

[MrMarcello]

5.5 is impressive for that form.

“I am 180...”

Meanwhile...

 

[Carolina Red]

Side note... my head coach is at the draft tonight. He saw this guy...


Felt it was worth sharing

 

[Organic Potatoes]

I don't get it.

 

[Carolina Red]

I don't get it.

This is terrible

 

[gormless]

Murray first pick. In other news Tyreek Hill’s Chiefs career is surely over with the leaked audio from tonight

 

[backofthenet]

Murray as #1 then

“Ass eatin’ season” - popularized by the Barstool Sports website

Ah... 'season.'

There's Kyler. Was a first for two different consecutive Heisman winners from the same school, now 2 consecutive first-overall picks. Replicating all that will take some doing...
