1:36

Draft from the team at KC Sports

1:38

Network, your home for Kansas City

1:40

Chiefs coverage. One

2:01

spot back there's continuing to trade

2:03

with rivals They

2:05

trade with the Buffalo Bills and

2:07

now they have traded up one spot with

2:09

the San Francisco 49ers They

2:13

are You know that

2:15

there's been a small run on tackles here You

2:18

kind of wonder if maybe that's a that's a route

2:20

that this team is looking to take I'm kind of

2:22

curious what the compensation wound up being for this election.

2:24

Yeah, but the the Chiefs are on the board Looking

2:28

to make a pick they have all right. So Wow They

2:31

okay, so they have traded 63 and 211

2:33

or though the Chiefs are acquiring 63 and

2:35

211 Giving

2:39

up 64 and 173 so they're doing

2:41

the pick swap thing, but they are moving

2:43

on life That's a big move for that

2:46

was still a six-round pick correct. Yeah six-round

2:48

pick They fix around pick swap to move

2:50

up. Yeah, that is that's

2:52

just interesting. That's uh Brett

2:55

said that he didn't like the depth in this class

2:57

and then yet here he is continuing trading

3:00

back for as for It's

3:05

like I've seen you looking at this I just want to say like we talked

3:07

about things we saw Matea as being a target here 42nd

3:10

over all the consensus board that's pretty high up there

3:12

for this value Troy Franklin still available I bet she's

3:14

already took a wide receiver, but he's already night and

3:16

Maddie. We have the pig Sure.

3:18

Yes with the V63rd pick in the

3:21

2024 NSL draft the

3:23

Kansas City Chiefs have selected

3:25

Offensive tackle Kingsley Sue Mattia

3:28

out of BYU Maddie Lane quick thoughts

3:30

on Kingsley Sue Mattia I

3:33

mean Kingsley Sue Mattia is a super athletic

3:35

offensive tackle that kind of fits the Length

3:37

the size thresholds that the Kansas City Chiefs like

3:39

in the position. He's a suit the athletic guy

3:41

He needs some development But with experience playing on

3:43

the right side the left side you 100% get

3:45

this pick. He has the power He

3:48

has the explosion he can play out in space.

3:50

He fits all the criteria for a good tackle

3:52

in the NFL. It's just there's need Some work

3:54

needs to be done to get him there and

3:56

you kind of have to trust. Andy Reed and

3:58

Andy Heck were great offensive line coaches. To. Get

4:00

up to that point? Yeah, absolutely. I have

4:02

a athletic developmental we're going to be able

4:04

to play in a zone scheme. Gonna be

4:07

able to get out and run, you know

4:09

he. He's gotten really terrific movement ability, can

4:11

really drop into a pass at pretty quickly.

4:13

Their doesn't have a ton of experience robbie

4:15

of those paths as but the true ones

4:18

that we do see from that he does

4:20

look really good. getting into their you are

4:22

gambling on a guy with. Terrific.

4:24

Feet, Footwork. Good. Athletic

4:26

ability and length. those are things that eighty

4:28

read absolutely covets at a single one of

4:31

his offensive tackles and fits in a lot

4:33

of the schematic aspects of it. With a

4:35

little growth is not that a tackle of

4:37

forward top twenty five prospect in in college

4:40

football as a recruit so use you started

4:42

his career organ allows it going back closer

4:44

to home to play for be why he's

4:46

played on the right side, played on the

4:49

left side. Arm that she's had

4:51

him in for a top thirty visits and

4:53

turns out that mattered this time to T.

4:55

So comfortable taking kings we see on the

4:57

tire player that allowed zero sacks and twenty

4:59

twenty two. At. Pass protector

5:01

that potentially could maybe play on both sides of

5:03

the ball that are both sides of the that

5:05

the line a little bit if they need. Love.

5:08

The pick things as a really great guy here.

5:10

Sixty three for the Kansas City Chiefs. So.

5:13

We're sitting here. And it's use

5:15

of doubt taken. By. Think what we've

5:17

all considered the two biggest needs off

5:19

the board I would agree on and

5:21

so they've knocked out the two most

5:23

important positions. I think when you're walking

5:25

into this trap we we had these

5:27

conversations. We walk, look and see like

5:29

how can this team navigate the board

5:31

to walk away with great value at

5:33

wide receiver and it tackle and understandably

5:35

there is a little bit of people

5:37

split on the development of a kingly

5:39

seal messiah. Like you said Dale Dear

5:41

my as I'm down in the one

5:43

twenties. Ah, we adam significantly higher in

5:46

the case yes and draft guy We kind

5:48

of proceed and as a more worthy developmental

5:50

swing and someone I can be a good

5:52

contribute sooner rather than later. That. Sees

5:54

do a fantastic job here. I think I'm just

5:56

making sure that they're locking up both of their

5:58

the most of their team. So this is the

6:00

I think this is a great pic. I'm really

6:02

excited about it Maddie! The. I

6:04

think we're The first question people are going to ask

6:07

is like when you were looking through how the team

6:09

is going to navigate this board there either they go

6:11

and they they take the wide receiver. Now they're taking

6:13

the tackle it sixty three. This.

6:16

Does validate. I think that this is a

6:18

developmental type player rather than someone that they

6:20

may feel comfortable walking in day one and

6:22

being the starting tackle for this day. I.

6:25

Think self and like It clearly shows you that they

6:27

liked him sand or they had a pool of often

6:29

to tax they like because they did freed up to

6:31

makes least a guy like with worthy they traded up

6:34

to secure that they get that layer. so whether it

6:36

was maybe it was the guy the talk tackles that

6:38

went off the board right before they picked the kind

6:40

of limited their selection pool or whatever it was but

6:42

they liked them enough to trade up form. But your

6:44

point they did it. Cel is like this sure fire

6:46

locked in starter from day one where they probably would

6:49

be gone up a lot for the get up. They

6:51

wouldn't be waiting to see if they can collect them

6:53

at the end of round to this is an era

6:55

you probably. Start to feel of the they're like a yet.

6:57

Com day one of t of you can compete for a

6:59

starting. Job but you don't really get it. you medical

7:01

take that earn it from somebody and I think. The

7:03

draft slotting here tell you that any that's perfect,

7:06

that's what he needs. Here's a twenty twenty one

7:08

year old with the season. Gets going methodical.

7:10

He just turned twenty one on

7:12

January eighteenth. This is a very

7:14

young prospect. The anti super. Young

7:16

pup fights over group. With the Organ.

7:18

Started out there before transferring to be why

7:21

you played right tackle switched over to left

7:23

tackle. He's bounced around from multiple positions, multiple

7:25

coaching. Staff There's work to be done in

7:27

his game he clearly doesn't understand or the

7:29

undersea of it. Does it have the technicalities

7:31

lockdown yet but that's what you're going to

7:33

get Will be Nfl so you picked as

7:35

bad as a surprise feeling, you get a

7:37

better value. that makes a lot more sense that

7:40

bit that where the position in the draft slot

7:42

a line better with how you going to using

7:44

this year as go to two thumbs up for

7:46

everybody gap use a redshirt sophomore last year yeah

7:49

so an early entry into the draft does not

7:51

have a ton of experience in the same way

7:53

that you would expect some of the other guys

7:55

some the other guys we're talking about were much

7:57

older prospects had a lot more experience It

8:00

shows. It really does show at times.

8:02

The lack of experience that occurs there.

8:05

But the traits in

8:07

themselves are the makings of a

8:10

franchise live tackle. If Kingsley Suamataia

8:12

hits his ceiling, he is

8:14

one of the better offensive tackles in

8:16

this class because guys at that size

8:18

with his movement ability, with that athleticism,

8:21

I believe ESPN after the Chiefs picked

8:23

him, showed him jumping out of the

8:25

pool, you know, basically water that was

8:27

up to basically right here at his

8:29

chest, he jumps out of the pool

8:32

as a huge individual, a 6'4", 326

8:34

pound individual here. You

8:39

know, he's got bloodlines as well. I think that

8:41

that's the other part of this. I

8:43

subscribe to this theory as well. You

8:45

get those sort of bloodlines there. His

8:47

cousins are Pennae Sual and Noah Sual. Like

8:50

these are guys that he's got this

8:52

history. He's got these bloodlines, got the

8:54

athletic ability. Again, it's just going

8:56

to be when can he start

8:58

for the Chiefs? So I guess

9:01

my pivoting question here, are

9:03

we certain that the Kansas City Chiefs are

9:05

going to add a veteran offensive tackle to

9:08

this roster or do

9:10

the Andes turn around here, Matty

9:12

and Kent, and say, Wanyae Morris

9:15

versus Kingsley Suamataia, whoever

9:18

wins, you're the left tackle this year. You

9:21

know, I could see them, I could see them

9:23

letting it, you know, not getting too

9:25

sensitive, but let's call it a deathmatch. Just

9:27

as this is the left tackle deathmatch of

9:29

2024. I could see this

9:31

team, I could see the team letting two

9:33

young guys kind of just battle it out,

9:35

right? The heat is on for Wanyae Morris

9:37

now. We've seen him play left tackle capably

9:40

for stretches, maybe not perfect, but if you

9:42

feel comfortable about the other four positions on

9:44

your offensive line, this is a good place

9:46

to step in and give a young

9:49

left tackle an opportunity and get some protection

9:51

and get some help from the scheme, from

9:53

the coaching staff. This

9:56

is now, though, two offensive tackles that, you know,

9:58

Andy Heck has to develop and to

10:01

get his hands on. I don't

10:04

know. I could see them trying to write it

10:06

out. I think we'd all feel a little

10:08

bit less comfortable with that. But I

10:12

mean, I wouldn't be stunned

10:14

if that was the route that this team ultimately took.

10:19

I think that they should still bring in a veteran. I think that

10:21

you want to have somebody that can come in and provide you a

10:23

safe floor. Like I think even just the way Andy Reid spoke about

10:25

it, what Juan Yemores was able to

10:27

do last year and what we saw when Juan

10:30

Yemores as his staff size increased, as the sample

10:32

size increased for him, it was getting, and not

10:34

that things won't get better, but it was getting

10:36

increasingly farther away from the level that Donovan Smith

10:38

had given you up to that point and after.

10:40

And so I think you'd be a little too

10:42

worried that Suema Taya, a 21 year old rookie

10:44

without a ton of experience playing just left tackle

10:46

is going to come in and win that starting

10:48

role and be in there right away. Or your

10:50

only other option is Juan Yemores, a guy

10:52

that was benched but lost his

10:55

starting role to Donovan Smith, who we all did at

10:57

Love last year. I think that you would feel a

11:00

little bit more comfortable if there was a veteran that

11:02

those guys had to be that give a bar, set

11:04

a bar, and then say you can beat that bar.

11:06

You start if you can't keep working. I don't think

11:08

Morris did enough to be that bar. I think that

11:10

would be my concern. I don't think Morris showed us

11:13

enough to be that bar going into the

11:15

season. You still got to find someone to

11:17

set it there. Yeah, I will say

11:19

it this way. I

11:22

think that they probably need a

11:24

little bit higher. Basically

11:26

level playing field there. But

11:30

at the same time, I don't know that I

11:32

want to stifle the growth of a Juan Yemores

11:34

or a Kingsley Suema Taya. Now if you told

11:36

me that they were going to take Juan Yemores,

11:38

now all of a sudden they're going to say,

11:40

okay, cool. We like what we got out of

11:42

you. Thank you so much for your efforts this

11:44

year. Let's move you inside. Let's

11:46

start getting you reps inside, maybe as a right

11:48

guard or something like that. You Know, coming off

11:50

of Oklahoma, we played it right tackle. Not Saying

11:52

you can play tackle, but maybe they look at

11:54

him a little bit more as a guard. They've

11:57

certainly done that with all kinds of tackles that

11:59

they've drafted. Darien Canard. Comes to mind their

12:01

maybe a guy that they seem more comfortable

12:03

moving inside. Now the said it paves the

12:05

way I Don Smith showing up there with

12:07

a Kings resume attire you can still use

12:10

one year more than a specific way there.

12:13

I. Would just be very concerned about.

12:15

Really? Squashing the developmental arc of

12:18

one more both of the it

12:20

Neil Young tackles there's if you

12:22

brought in a Donovan Smith. And

12:24

both of them were still plan of attack

12:26

for you that she's brought Kingsley Cele Mai

12:29

Tai in for one of their thirty visited

12:31

this year. I'm there's obviously some Byu connections

12:33

that you know exists between Andy Reid in

12:36

that program and you mean B Y U

12:38

players even Steve Sarkisian. We don't a the

12:40

top but the can access to start you

12:42

aren't easy and had with with year with

12:45

with Andy Reid. B. Y U

12:47

ties there as well so you know that that

12:49

runs deep in I think there's lines of communication

12:51

we see that play out and to pick so

12:53

far for the Kansas City Chiefs. Ah,

12:56

Up with Kingsley with T, they did many whether

12:58

guy. Do. We know of kings. The fisher

13:00

was a dude. many whether my the. Many. Whether

13:02

guy. And. Don't

13:04

know for sure and I don't know either. A Bj.

13:07

Will ya? Know Okay, Legacy.

13:09

Of be day I will figure it out for you guys should

13:11

figure that out because there's been some the. Would

13:14

Alga. Half on be to be the

13:16

curtain Kings assume that Islets as we speak isn't

13:18

you have any good at Pearl is a real

13:20

on him that you'll see on Casey Sports network

13:22

makes your hidden a like and subscribe but my

13:24

you're hanging out with a celebrating the selection of

13:26

thing Lucille Messiah. This. Is a

13:28

player that we talked about being a target potentially

13:31

for the teeth At take thirty two I did

13:33

there was a lot of people the targeted kings

13:35

was yet i epic thirty to because they it's

13:37

I'm sir Etti they make the logical he but

13:39

B Y u and eighty read as well get

13:42

even often to tackle as well. but. The.

13:44

T for interested in this guy. Clearly were

13:46

interested in this guy. You've are a lot

13:48

of connections between the It for between the

13:50

teasing Kingsley and they make. There's the logical

13:53

sense there. I.

13:55

Am as if you stack the a yeah

13:57

it would. Stalking this last few group of.

14:00

That was Blake Fisher. Patrick.

14:02

Paul going off the board, Roger Rose and

14:04

guarding kings assume attire. There's a way that

14:06

there's a world where I could see kings

14:08

the of donning are done earlier than Sixty

14:10

Four is is like. What? All

14:13

these tackles, where are all the teams are Valuing

14:15

is tackle eight or whatever we want to call

14:17

his eight. Whatever you want to call it. There's

14:19

a world where Kingsley's tackle seven for a different

14:21

for the eat out for maybe even that sees

14:23

a me that she's valued team that kingsley above

14:26

some of these players by maybe that it yet

14:28

l. On. But. Yeah

14:30

the getting him down here it's easy to it. Three

14:32

pretty good vibe and now you're a to cook I

14:34

can tell I but not as a I don't think

14:36

the key is one of the office of lie but

14:39

that is working our way. It would do many whether

14:41

guys yet say for certain by I can't see anything

14:43

that has a way to hold the know he is

14:45

preparing for the drugs. Maybe it's it's it's hard to

14:47

say because he's worked with eating dies and he wasn't

14:50

some a that Duke brought up at an article what

14:52

he was talking to with a ruler around the shrine

14:54

will time. He wasn't mentioned that there but it does

14:56

sound like he is told people he that we saw

14:58

the some work down there would. You betty Whether bare

15:00

minimum sediqi has worked out with a little bit. We.

15:03

Know that she's like the right emergencies are big

15:05

fans. The guys that have worked out with Dupe

15:07

are many weather down there. They seem to trust

15:09

the process that they are going therapy so that's

15:11

a good start. That's a good start. Get down

15:13

there, you're working on it. You know he's getting

15:15

these things done. He's getting better. As you go

15:17

from college to the pros, these guys are kind

15:19

of hitting the ground at a level that she's

15:22

like. We seen the success come through with a

15:24

trace, mess with the creed hum freely. We seen

15:26

that success directly to carry over south. We.

15:28

Can also say we've also seen it baby. not. Have.

15:30

The results you want with the guys like a dairy

15:32

to Nord or a want you more like they still.

15:34

those guys are still developing. they're still working through some

15:37

of the process we did. she's Italy so keyboard back

15:39

to the well. There's a comfort level there and so

15:41

if he isn't working down there lot as he does

15:43

make a lot of sense I think he's a guys

15:45

can connect to the Chiefs for. Months. Now

15:47

because he makes so much, That's when I mean. This.

15:50

Is a car? Have it. When we finished up

15:52

the draft yesterday they they take save your where

15:54

the I think all of a say here and

15:56

with. Yeah. node pick sixty four of

15:58

the teaser able to walk Matiah.

16:02

Those are the two names that I think that

16:04

everybody had thrown around a lot. We

16:06

were going to be excited. Now, obviously, they don't quite make

16:08

it to pick 64. They had to trade

16:10

up to pick 63 to make

16:12

this happen. But overall, a good

16:15

move based on what we saw

16:17

on the board. Again, he I believe

16:19

he was offensive tackle eight in the

16:22

Casey draft guide somewhere and you know,

16:24

gave him a second round grade

16:26

at that point. So the

16:29

right spot for a Kingsley-Sew and Matiah to

16:31

go off the board here goes

16:33

off to Kansas City. We're going to take a

16:36

quick break and we will be back right

16:38

after this. Craig

16:40

is usually a fan of water cooler

16:43

talk, but it's draft season

16:45

and that's all anyone wants to talk

16:47

19:00

the seeds he's had treated up one

19:02

pick with the San Francisco Forty Niners

19:05

to select Qingli Seal Messiah. The.

19:07

Roof and to Tackle at Byu And one other thing

19:09

I'm kind of looking at a little bit more you

19:11

as we think about this and we're talking about conviction

19:13

and we're talking maybe how the type of board with

19:16

that? Maybe they felt comfortable with the pocket of tackle

19:18

that were sitting of are they available form. What?

19:21

I can tell you though

19:23

is. They. Gave up a

19:25

lot. To. Move up one

19:28

spot. So. They went from

19:30

pick one seventy three to pick to

19:32

eleven. So they went from getting from

19:35

a a late fifth to elite six

19:37

to get Kingsley Sewer Messiah. That's actually

19:39

a value. Ah, roughly five

19:41

points to move up one spot in

19:44

the second round. So. They're.

19:46

Giving up surplus value, their tana given

19:48

up roughly the value of like as.

19:51

You. know lump of a of a late. Sixth.

19:54

Round pick to move up, so they felt

19:56

pretty strongly about making sure that they were

19:58

getting a kingly some. Well,

20:02

it means the 49ers- You're

20:04

paranoid to move up one spot. You want this

20:06

game. Yeah, absolutely. It means the 49ers had an

20:08

offer on the table. Somehow, we're going to come

20:10

up and take Kingsley-Sou football

20:26

game. But, you know, we've been talking about. We've

20:28

been talking about. You know, we've been talking about it twice. The 49ers. That's

20:31

not the best set up in the first round. That's essentially the same value give up. of

20:34

round two? Sure, but I think, Craig's point was right.

20:37

That clearly means the 49ers were shopping this pick around

20:39

to any team out there that maybe wanted to come

20:41

up. The Chiefs were probably nervous somebody was coming up

20:43

to get Soumatayah. We've been talking about it. They're going

20:45

to have a pocket of tackles. If he's the

20:48

last one on there, that's who you gotta

20:50

go with, right? If he was the last one on there, you

20:52

have to go and make that trade. So I get it. I

20:54

think it's a little bit much, but I do get the concept

20:56

of trading up to go get him. Sure. I

20:58

do as well. And again, you go and you

21:00

get your guys. These are premium positions. We're not talking about,

21:02

you know, all and they traded up for running

21:05

back or a linebacker or something like that.

21:07

They are premium positions and they are young

21:09

players with lots of developmental arts. If both

21:11

of these guys catch a second contract with

21:13

Kansas City, both of them will have that

21:15

happen before they are

21:17

26. Right. If

21:20

each loves, loves, loves,

21:22

loves projects like this, loves

21:24

athletic players that are younger,

21:26

talented players. And now

21:28

you've added those with wide receiver and offensive tackle.

21:31

Again, if it's a swing and a miss on

21:33

like your Kingsley Soumatayah, it's not going to really

21:35

hurt you, but you like

21:37

the gamble. You like the approach. The approach

21:39

is very sound for sure. No,

21:42

they've, they've selected two of the youngest

21:44

prospects in the entire draft at

21:47

positions of need, at clear positions of

21:49

need, at very valuable positions. That is,

21:51

and so there is a trend that

21:53

we are starting to recognize here. There's

21:56

one every year with Brett Beach is there does

21:58

seem to be more. functionality on taking

22:00

younger prospects because they did it last year

22:03

with Felix and in DK Uzama another

22:05

premium position and These

22:07

are guys that you might be able

22:09

to give two contracts to because the

22:12

Chiefs have seemed to be pretty content

22:14

pretty intent on Not paying

22:16

players into their 30s like almost at all into

22:18

their 30s almost feel as Jones unless you're Chris

22:20

Jones We're not if you're a Hall of Fame

22:22

defense attack The

22:25

last few years as they've had some of

22:27

these early selections There's there's been it. I

22:29

mean even Leo Chanel another younger prospect. There's

22:31

been there's been a lean on some younger

22:33

prospects here in their early picks remarkably

22:36

young Brandon Coleman has just

22:38

gone off the board as well one of Maddie's

22:40

potential tackle targets by the way We lost a

22:42

bunch of my guys are still during the second

22:44

flying off the board here. We lost

22:47

Renardo green to the 49ers I didn't know

22:49

are we talking about the night not quite yet But I just

22:51

why I just saw another tackle guard whatever you want to call

22:53

him coming off the board and just thought that was kind of

22:55

interesting You know, which I

22:57

the way the the way this draft is

22:59

gone so far Like I mean, it's it's

23:01

wild to see these big swings on and

23:03

a lot of players going Anyways,

23:06

yeah, well draft has been runs the

23:08

positions I'm right if the whole thing has been has

23:11

been runs on positions and I think the Chiefs are

23:13

both of them But I'm more or less so with wide

23:16

receiver wide receiver the Xavier worthy more felt like they were

23:18

targeting him as a specific player They wanted to go up

23:20

to get it feels like with suma to you here though

23:23

They said hey this pocket this realm of tackles that

23:25

we want is going off the board these guys that

23:27

we really like are going Off the board. We need

23:29

to make sure we get one because we don't want

23:31

to be left on the outside yet again And so

23:34

I like the concept there. This is

23:36

my question. I had posed before we don't know where

23:38

Tuzi's gonna be on their slot Right he can clear

23:40

he could be ahead of every offensive tackle for them

23:42

that went and they did and we'll find out That's

23:44

a that's a possibility However, like we're

23:46

now at the point again This kind of is

23:48

what happened to keep you years ago when they took

23:51

sky more as the wide receiver They took the final

23:53

guy in the run now wide receivers And I'm not

23:55

saying that's what made him not work out, but there

23:57

might have been a reason sky more was the

23:59

final wide receiver and the run. Hopefully that's not the

24:02

case. I want to get the final guy in the

24:04

tackle run for a reason and they just did a

24:06

good job of scouting them. They know it's a good

24:08

fit. I'm not saying it makes it a bad

24:10

pick. It's just I think it's worth notable if we

24:12

see tackle stop coming off the board now and it

24:15

feels like they got the last guy of this group.

24:17

That is something to keep in the back of your

24:19

mind because they did want to make sure they

24:21

get. We'll get to grades in a second here. Ian

24:23

Rappaport is reporting that the Chiefs did try to move

24:26

up in the first round for an offensive tackle. That's

24:28

something we already knew. We did know that. But

24:30

it is worth it's just confirmation additional confirmation

24:32

that the Chiefs were trying to move up

24:34

to get an offensive tackle and they make

24:36

a difference. Yeah probably in merry

24:38

steps. They make a small

24:41

one here to make sure that they get one

24:43

of the tackles that they coveted remaining in this

24:45

draft. It is time to grade the pick though.

24:47

So we will start there. We're going to start

24:50

with Craig Stout here on on your pick for

24:52

Kingsley Sule Matayo at pick 63. It's another

24:54

A. It's another A for me because it's

24:57

a young player. It's a talented player.

24:59

It's a quality mover. The ceiling is

25:01

high. You're taking him in an appropriate

25:03

spot where if you have to basically

25:05

sit on this for a year and

25:07

say we are going to

25:09

develop him behind another veteran it

25:11

does not kill your ability to

25:13

do so. There's no urgency behind

25:15

any of that. You

25:18

are hoping that an Andy Heck maximizes this individual

25:20

that he gets the most out of him because

25:22

if he gets the most out of him it

25:24

is an absolute slam dunk. The Chiefs

25:27

barely moved up. Like barely moved up. Again that's a

25:29

low grade. That's a low grade sixth that they gave

25:31

up in value. I mean I know

25:35

I give it an A because I just think this

25:38

is smart decision making for project

25:41

tackle as it stands right now

25:43

being at pick 63. Matayo.

25:47

For me I was going to preface this. A

25:49

C to me is a completely average grade which

25:51

means that was exactly the value that you took

25:53

the player you got exactly what's expected. So I'm

25:56

giving this pick a B which is still good.

25:58

That grads a plus value I think. He he

26:00

went about where I would have my Adam is a

26:03

late second round grade. That's where I thought he should

26:05

go off the board That's what the Chiefs got him.

26:07

I do think the small trade up which it's not

26:09

insignificant It's not a ton But that small trade up

26:11

losing essentially a sixth round pick in value does matter

26:13

a little bit But I think the upsides really there.

26:15

I think you have a lot of development to go

26:18

But if you hit it, this is a great pick

26:20

I just do think that inherently a developmental tackle that

26:22

you're taking in late round two There's gonna be risks

26:24

and rewards to it. That doesn't make it bad I

26:26

just that's what stops it away from I think being

26:28

a little bit higher But I think it's a good

26:30

solid B to go along with what was a good first

26:33

round pick Which I gave like a B plus slash a

26:35

minus good trash so far I think this

26:37

is a really great trash so far. I'm gonna give it

26:39

an A minus I think

26:41

this is a young projectable player

26:43

with a lot of upside He's coming into

26:45

a great system and a great infrastructure that should

26:47

help maximize his strengths The Chiefs got a

26:49

guy that when you talk about the

26:52

pedigree of a player, he's got you know,

26:54

the bloodline, you know He's got the

26:57

pedigree as a top tier college prospect You

26:59

know one of the top or one of

27:01

the top, you know high school recruits out

27:03

of his class a top 25 consensus player

27:06

Coming out of high school He's

27:09

got some positional flexibility playing on both

27:11

sides of the ball and

27:13

he's really really young One

27:16

of the youngest players and I think the youngest tackle

27:18

that's been taken to this point one of the youngest

27:21

players in this entire draft So I

27:23

think it's an A minus for me I think the

27:25

Chiefs have done an outstanding job to start this draft

27:27

not only addressing to their two most

27:29

important spots They take the two most

27:31

about in the most important positions to

27:34

high value positions with young players that

27:37

are in a offense and infrastructure that

27:40

should help them have their strengths and

27:42

point exploited and Allow

27:44

them to develop nicely. I

27:46

am over the moon with what the Chiefs have done to this

27:48

point. I think they've crushed it I'm so happy

27:51

to see the players that have been selected These are players

27:53

that we spent a lot of time talking about all over

27:55

the last three months That's always

27:57

fun to happen to There's

28:00

been years where it hasn't been like that. Yeah,

28:03

28:06
