@HartzellForKC ...This IS NOT how you recover tax revenue from these people. There are a million ways to arrange your wealth to avoid this. Your heart is in the right place, but my god, you are running the same worthless playbook.

When WE get to Congress, we are going to introduce legislation to tax billionaires 100% on all income above $1 billion.
No family or individual should earn more in a year than most families can in a lifetime, while working class people struggle to pay rent, groceries, healthcare, and tuition.
When we say billionaires shouldn’t exist, we mean it.

@LanceTHESPOKEN It's a deep draft at EDGE....they've also made no move at OT....
English
@teja_dash I sadly agree that this front office has sucked at DE….putting a premium on traits and body type over production hasn’t worked out well at all. IMO they won’t abandon their preference for body type and traits but will quit trying to find raw prospects who didn’t produce.
English
@Hamilton2R We have not had good luck with DEs, period. Other than Karlaftis (Gillotte is TBD), where have we hit on DEs?
Kaindoh

Tanoh
Danna is the best & we just released him for lack of of production
Even our trades and FA pickups: Clark/Omenihu never lived up to expectations
English
Mesidor will be 28 when seeking an extension
Let’s say he lives up to 1st round expectations. Will anyone disagree with him getting an extension at age 28?
Hendrickson-31 & just got $28m APY
Chubb-29 & just got $15m APY
We gave Tamba an ext at age 28 & re-signed again at 32
Check the Mic with Steve Palazzolo & Sam Monson@CTM_Show
Marcus Whitman explains why, if he were the Chiefs, he would take Akheem Mesidor over Keldrick Faulk “Faulk doesn’t do anything for me at 9. I have him more as a high 2nd or late 1st… I think Mesidor, if he were 2 years younger, we’d be talking about him as a top-10 pick.”
English
@teja_dash guys, especially having one of the best teams in terms of availability/injury. I wouldn’t expect that anything would have changed to have them consider deviating from something that’s been working well….long arms, young draft picks have worked. Going cheap at RB has not
English
@teja_dash They decided to pay a premium to ensure they wouldn’t be left shoppping in bargain bin again and having poor production from the RB position now that teams are shutting down big play passing games. I think the Chiefs have been successful drafting young guys and long arm —-

@Renatta @HoorayBacon He forgets thousands of sick and tortured children all the time.

@teja_dash McDuffies arm length wasn't in the bottom 1pct of all NFL CB's ever measured at the combine. He was slightly less than what KC tends to draft at CB. The SLIGHT difference wasn't a dealbreaker.
English
@Hamilton2R This draft is different & so are our needs
This would be the 2nd time I can remember us being so reliant on the draft to completely retool our roster
We drafted McDuffie despite his arm length because we needed a day one starter to come right in & contribute at a high level
English
@teja_dash The Chiefs have been a team that doesn't draft old college dudes. They go young. It's part of their core values, along with the arm length thing.
English
If he’s anything like the 90% of the 2022 class, then we’ll have him for 4 great years & let him walk
I don’t regret drafting any of those guys 4 years ago, & if Mesidor is what you’d expect out of a polished 1st round Edge, then he’ll be good for 4-8 years with no regrets.
English
@_chandler_____ Fields is only under contract for this season...how do you got a 2028 3rd round pick out of that?
English
@ConcernsChief Wouldn't it be fair to say that Fields was a great college QB who isn't.....or hasn't been a good NFL QB....who has yet to give anyone good snaps?
English
@Hamilton2R Henne wasn’t nearly as talented as Fields. He gave us great snaps in the playoffs, but henne wasnt a good nfl qb. Great college QB tho
English
Easily the most talented backup QB we’ve had in the Mahomes era. Another good move by Veach.

Trade: the New York Jets are finalizing a deal that will send QB Justin Fields to the Kansas City Chiefs, pending a physical, per ESPN sources. Other teams were interested, but Fields’ preference was to go to Kansas City.

@teja_dash @SteinerHereford @ConcernsChief This, being a DEEP DE draft, I think the Chiefs, if Bain is there, would take Lemon or some WR and wait until later for a guy like Zion, who fits their body type later. The 9th overall pick has to hit. I think there is an element of uncertainty with Bain despite his production
English
@Hamilton2R @SteinerHereford @ConcernsChief If Bain and the top WRs are available at 9, then passing on Bain likely means they value the edge rushers projected in the 20s more than the WRs in that range.
English
Bain dominated college football all season, including the title game. To no surprise, a month later his arms measure sub-31”, & now he’s not worth a top-10 pick?
That’s just as dumb as a DE wrecking the NFL all year & the Super Bowl, but missing out on top FA $ cuz of arm length
Price Carter@priceacarter
If your entire analysis around Rueben Bain is "but the arm length" you need to turn on the tape. No player is boiled down to a single threshold or measurement.
English
@teja_dash @SteinerHereford @ConcernsChief I agree with your assesment here, it's a big reason why I bet you guys on this. The Chiefs have traditionally been a team that puts a lot into arm length. I think Bain is an outstanding player. I won't be mad if they draft him....I just think they stick to their guns on this.
English
@Hamilton2R @SteinerHereford @ConcernsChief When you start balancing out risk/reward vs other players risk/reward, other guys might be a better bet at 2.
I still love Bain, and would take the bet, but I can see how other prospects might make a team feel safer.
English
English
@SteinerHereford @ConcernsChief Historically,most short arm rushers aren’t one of the most dominant players in CFB, nor are they the reason their team is in the championship (& dominate the championship)
Bain has already been the exception, why can’t that continue?
Maybe not worth the bet at 2, but it is at 9
English
@teja_dash There is a case to be made that this is a deep DL/DE/Edge draft and that it is a week OT draft. If they went OT at 9 and then at 27 or 40 or both...could get a solid prospect later. Certainly, when you are sitting at 9 and your choice is short arm Bain or highly rated OT :D
English
Sure, the Chiefs will always want MORE protection for Mahomes. But there is a difference between what you want and what you need.
Where is the need vs best player available:
Pass rusher-Bain > RT protection-Mauigoa
NFL on ESPN@ESPNNFL
Will the Chiefs go O-line in the first round of the draft? 👀 @nfldraftscout breaks down why he’s on board with @FieldYates’ mock pick ⤵️ 🙌
English
@Hamilton2R Yep. Same as last time🤝. Remember, the deal is, if he is there. If he gets selected beforehand, deal is null
English
I see this 2 games a year for the next 5 years 😤😤

@ConcernsChief This is all I see
English
@ConcernsChief @JasonLaCanfora @DashOfNews @BleacherReport Everyone keeps approaching this like Simmons will move to RT and all would be good. I can’t help but think they want insurance when/if Simmons flakes out (again)
English
REPORT: The Chiefs are ready to pounce on Trent Williams if he becomes available, per @JasonLaCanfora.
Our @DashOfNews breaks down KC’s interest in the OT market and why Josh Simmons potentially sliding to RT isn’t as crazy as it sounds for @BleacherReport.

@klseaboldt It's kind of funny because they had just redone that uniform a few years ago and it had a million sybolic elements to it. They toned this one down and still has too many :D
English
@Hamilton2R The sleeve stripe is silly because no one is going to make the connection. Teams have too many symbols in their logos and uniforms.
English
@klseaboldt Thoughts? I like it overall. 17 looks like Josh Allen. only thing I really hate is the "sleeve" stripes. Modern uniforms do not have sleeves but too many teams (KC included) insist on putting stripe above the armhole that really doesn't fit. x.com/Titans/status/…
