@hbtCHIEFS 1/3rd of GMs have Faulk a top 7 player.

[Clif Long @Clif_Long81]

@Conner_DKC What so many fans don’t realize if they get this approved in the next couple months and move forward with the site it would be pushing 2.5 years from announcement of the move. That's crazy fast, many of these city projects take over 5 years to put together.

[Clif Long @Clif_Long81]

@Matty_KCSN Appreciate all your draft work. Regarding Lemon, I assume you have heard about his major struggles on the white board and his “interesting” personality. Does stuff like that factor in your grade or do you just focus on scouting from the playing field?

[Clif Long @Clif_Long81]

@Conner_DKC My antenna went up when Titans beat admitted a week or two ago that Bain wouldn’t be pick at 4 due to fit and measurables.

That’s either a friend GM giving Veach a smoke screen or KC also won’t take him due to arm length.

[Clif Long @Clif_Long81]

@DMacWake316 Yeah because if KC had the first overall pick, they try to trade out and if they couldn’t they are taking Bain.

[Clif Long @Clif_Long81]

@Jtfawver @MoShady Sucks KC couldn’t leak it out, I get why they couldn’t, they knew before the lawsuit even hit.

[Clif Long @Clif_Long81]

@Conner_DKC Listening to a draft pod today, they mentioned this will be a boring opening of draft without trades popping up as most GMs already know picks 1-6 right now and down to 2 players each for commanders and saints.

[Clif Long @Clif_Long81]

@Conner_DKC Likely not in top 2 picks. Big speedy X in cards and Tyreek reunion.

[Clif Long @Clif_Long81]

@WhatsWrightShow @getnickwright Good pod. The Thunder would easily vote against expansion draft.  They have 10 good players and about to draft 2 more in the top 20. Another thought, they still have 11 first round picks the next 5 years. Do they start trading some of them into future if exp draft gets approved

[Clif Long @Clif_Long81]

@Conner_DKC Once I heard the media nugget that KC believes there are 2 pro bowl RTs in this draft and one has all pro potential in first round, I assumed they would target that player and that would be one of their picks.

[Clif Long @Clif_Long81]

@Conner_DKC Yes and the progress of Tyreek, a note from a couple KC media this week.

[Clif Long @Clif_Long81]

@DMacWake316 @JordanRaanan When Mitch Holthus said Cooper McDonald was a near locked in future starter for KC about 4 days into camp last year, I knew he blew away the staff and Chenal was gone.

[Clif Long @Clif_Long81]

@goldmctNFL You cooked…so you Russell Wilson’d it. I assume that means the mock was from his Seattle days, Mr unlimited mock sounds terrible, no offense. Haha.

You are right, nice mock for KC.

[Clif Long @Clif_Long81]

@_Gannon @Conner_DKC I'm not saying I agree with any of this, he is my desired target at 9, but many scouts don't view him as a great fit.

[Clif Long @Clif_Long81]

@_Gannon @Conner_DKC Yep. They explained Bengals allow DEs to wide 9 rush. Spags doesn't like to do that…

[Clif Long @Clif_Long81]

@Jtfawver The number of people not realizing Mahomes isnt running an under center type of offense more than a change up to what they do is amusing to me.

[Clif Long @Clif_Long81]

@Conner_DKC All about Mahomes, there was an interview year 1 or 2 and he said he didn't like that style of offense, putting back to D threw off his timing or something to that effect.

[Clif Long @Clif_Long81]

@RPatrickAllen Bailey doesnt fit, Downs isn't premium position, Tate is the pick but unless an offensive system change is coming he doesn't get the volume you would want to see (dont want a top 10 pick decoy). This situation brings the OT into play.

[Clif Long @Clif_Long81]

@kent_swanson @goldmctNFL @KCSportsNetwork Hurry up, Matty.
