JJ Birden did a AMA on /r/NFL if anyone wants to read.

Always amazes me to see former players say they would NOT want their kids to play the sport. Must be injuries all the time.

That Reddit was pretty cool. Thanks for posting, Davos

Haven't paid much attention to the draft, who the chiefs looking at, who do you guys want?

 

[OnionKnight86]

What did you guys think of the first pick?

 

[FLYOVER BOSSMAN]

I wanted the Chiefs Strategery Office to draft a playmaker: they did.

Peters issues scare me, but being with Andy Reid, Bob Sutton, Emmitt Thomas, and Al Harris is a place where I feel that he can get coached up and be a productive player.

Our biggest issue on defense was lack of turnovers. Peters makes INTs and recovers fumbles.

Hope they get WR, ILB, or C help in rounds 2-3

Al Harris works for the Chiefs now? Oh man Peters better not fuck around

I was hoping they'd go WR... but I guess taking a high risk/high reward type guy at that spot isn't too bad. I'll be curious if they'll take a 2nd gamble and go with DGB in the 2nd round if he is still on the board....

I'd be ok with that. If He's gone more O-Line help would be nice.

Could I get some info on the guys kc drafted last night

 

[Cantalope]

Pretty solid draft imo. We got a starting Center,CB, and WR plus some depth on defense.

 

[metal]

I was damn happy with KC draft this year.

How's the first preseason game looking?

 

[FLYOVER BOSSMAN]

Not good...will update later

Not good...will update later

It's only preseason but if that flows into the regular season

SO...after the 1st half, Davos, here's my thoughts:

-The 1st team oline didn't look very good
-Jeff Allen got hurt with a knee injury, he's the starting RT...not good
-Pederson called vanilla plays- it's the preseason, par for the course- but looking for Maclin deep on the 1st play was a little canned.
-Alex Smith looked for his 1st read too much. May have been a product of the subpar line play
-Charcandrick West has had a good game so far. More versatile back than Knile Davis.
-Knile Davis is like a stronger/faster version of Trent Richardson, and is slow through the hole. Once he gets going, he obviously has big play potential, but behind this o-line and a lack of field vision- his 3.5 YPC lifetime isn't improving
-Chase Daniel looked great
-Fred Williams (who?) looks like a guy that could make the team as a 5th/6th WR. Caught everything his way and looked open (creating seperation, hopefully)

Defense:

-great to have DJ, Devito, and Berry back
-Abdullah tried to make a pick on a crossing pattern and didn't get any ball. Went for a gain of 57. Not mad about the aggressiveness
-Jamell Fleming running with the 1s at CB was weird
-Ramik Wilson doesn't look great. (where's Mauga?)
-Justin March (ILB) does look good. Good reads and looks fluid out there. Impressive for an UDFA.
-Don't know how Jaye Howard looked replacing Poe. Didn't really watch a lot.

 

[FLYOVER BOSSMAN]

Feel good post

 

[FLYOVER BOSSMAN]

Ramik Wilson almost with a pick 6. LOL.

 

[OnionKnight86]

Some ups, some downs. Good to get the bad plays out

thanks for the write up.
