More mobility and accuracy than Russ is a tall order. But more Christian? That’s just crazy talk.
lolol this delivers
Update from Chiefsplanet: So far we’ve drafted Darrelle Revis, JJ Watt, Tyreek Hill, Eric Berry, and Dick Butkus.

Mykal Walker gonna have a breakout season.
The 49ers draft another edge rusher. Their first pick of the draft since 2015 has been: DE, QB, DT, DE, T, DE, DE, DT. I guess you can never have too many of them. Whatever. And then they go and draft another fucking RB.
It‘s not like the secondary and O-line after years of neglect could use some help.
I know little about the remaining players now but it seems that the Giants haven’t seemed to waste a pick though that Wan’Dale pick could be the exception. No idea why they have it out for Toney.
butkus would struggle today, he’d get beat and flagged every play for taunting or unnecessary roughness
(he actually taunted during an interception of his at least once)
He evolved his game quite well. First acting, then portable newspaper grill pitchman (my dad bought it - it’s pretty good!), and now tweetmaster.

Mother of God. That could get some poor 8th grader killed if he fell on them.
Our starting nose guard in high school literally weighed 1/3 of that. (He was a state record-holder in pole vault and incredible athlete. He would just run around the center and get to the QB.)
I think Chiefs have had a great draft
I had forgotten that Chris Carson’s injury was to his neck, and that he’s still recovering from it. Neck issues ended the careers of Kam, Cliff Avril, Mack Strong, and others, so there’s a good chance Carson doesn’t play another down, making the pick look a lot less like there was no need there.
126 lb defensive lineman seems really hard to believe.

Let’s not get carried away here. Drafting RBs is generally bad strategy no matter what.
Disagree. The replaceable-ness of running backs does mean you need to replace them. Seems way worse to give an RB a second contract than to just keep drafting them.
Sure, but there are other ways to replace them besides drafting them in early rounds. This guy’s VORP over whatever they could get after the draft is minimal. Even 6th or 7th round would be OK.

The opportunity cost of not being able to draft another skill position has to exceed the value of a cheap RB.
It was a gimmick but it worked. They relied on LBs to stop the run. I think it was a thing HS teams were trying at the time - put your best athlete on the shortest route to the QB. I’ve heard of other teams doing it. He’d line up in a 4-pt stance and just shoot around the center in either gap on every play.
I remember his weight because the kid could bench almost 3x his bodyweight. Looks like he still has the 4th highest pole vault in the state (LaMont McClure):
First kickahhh goes in the 4th
First punter, too, but not the kid from San Diego St
might be 5 punters drafted in this one-- the san diego state kid isn’t the closest to pro ready so not shocked
boom penn state guy went first (actually two punters have gone off in round 4 and neither is that kid)
