I guess you don't keep up with all things Chiefs in the off season and you missed the draft.

So, who's replacing Joe Thuney?

It will be either Josh Simmons who they drafted #1 in the draft or Jaylon Moore who they picked up in free agency. Chiefs also drafted a kid named Esa Pole in a later round but I'm not sure what to expect from him. A healthy Hollywood Brown and Rashee Rice will be a huge boost as well.

Nice. Penix is worth the price of admission alone.

I saw him throw live twice while he was at UW. Throws such a pretty ball. I just wish he had stayed in Seattle. Guys a baller.

Atlanta might be decent this year. But if he had someone like Ben Johnson as his coach, I would feel much better about them moving forward.

I believe Penix and Atlanta are flying under the radar a bit. I can see them winning the division and making the playoffs.

Who's replacing Thuney at Guard? I liked the Simmons pick. But I'm not much of a fan of their other Tackle.

Surprisingly Jaydon Blue was left off the list. Pretty noteworthy.

Well, it's not an extension but Hendrickson is reportedly set to end his holdout tomorrow and finally show up for Bengals training camp.

Bucs are still the top dog imo. Atlanta is going to have a filthy offense but they still have a lot of work to do on the defensive end. I'm trying to get Penix and London in as many fantasy drafts as possible. Heck I might even give Pitts one last chance if the value is there.

I've done 4 drafts so far. In two of them I picked early in the draft and took Chase. Later paired him up with Burrow. Doesn't get better than that. :beer:

Most likely Simmons plays LT in the end. Scouting reports are now saying the Chiefs want Jaylon Moore to be tried out on the right side. The only guard I know for certain will start is Trey Smith. He just signed a 4 year 94mill contract a couple weeks go.

I think it goes without saying that's the best stack in ff, but I'm not a proponent on reaching for Burrow. I think the Bengals defense will improve (assuming Hendrickson is a full go) and Burrow wont be involved in as many shootouts. Expecting some regression from him and Chase.

Sleeper pick, Nix and Courtland Sutton. :wizard:

They would probably win more games if they could run, maintain possession, keep defense off the field.

They had a lot of big gain scores, Chase making long YAC plays for TDs.

That juiced up their stats, which will probably be hard to replicate this season. It also put their defense right back on the field.

For sure, just wish Sutton was more of a target hog.

Ceedee and Dak are my main targets. #1 overall player is in the range of outcomes for Ceedee and as long as Dak is healthy he should put up solid numbers with all those receiving weapons/lack of a consistent running game. Could be another one of those seasons where he stat pads while playing from behind.

Most of the time I prefer to draft later in round 1. This year there are 3 players in the top 5 that I really like; Chase, Lamb and Gibbs.
