Case Ruckman

@ArrowheadLive @Royals_Jun Trade back is C.

Plan A) Bain/Bailey Plan B) Downs Plan C) WR1 Plan D) Delane Plan E) Trade back

@ArrowheadLive I need you to admit the best idea is Sarratt at 74 after three straight defensive picks.

If the Chiefs don’t take a WR at 9 or 29, I’m coming around to the idea of taking Chris Bell at 40 if he is there. Undoubtedly a 1st round pick if he had not torn his ACL in November. Recovering really well and should be ready by week 1. Reminds me of AJ Brown, but more explosive

@HawkEmDownChris Rafael Furcal

Age yourself by naming an MLB shortstop you grew up watching. I’ll start: Derek Jeter.

@TheParTrain This is good BUT....the real quote I took was just to Shift where you have high expectations. He expects a lot of himself in terms of preparation, commitment to shot, commitment to mental processes....Can't just not think about bad stuff. Have to replace bad thoughts w/ something

Maybe the greatest thing I’ve ever heard in a post win presser:

@kerrodgraygolf And doesn't your slope negate the wind?

@kerrodgraygolf Wouldn't DECADE tell you to miss right or long right of green? Looks like a decent size bail out area right of the green. With a left pin there's no short side issue.

This Is a Trap... Here’s Why 👇 230 to the pin. Water left. Wind right to left. Fairway slopes with it. 💨🌊 Risk the green? Not worth it. Even with a lofted iron, you’re fighting wind + slope = double trouble. ❌ 🎯 Smart Play: ➡️ Take less loft ➡️ Swing slow ➡️ Punch it down

@LouStagner @Golfingbrock Fun Fact: Lou invented 80085. You’re welcome.

@Golfingbrock Must have one of these.

Blade users trust feel. Mallet users crunch numbers.

@teja_dash @ConcernsChief Macdonald/Banks, safety or LB. Save CB till 74/109

Pop quiz, hotshot: The Chiefs picked a receiver (pick your poison between Tyson/Tate/Lemon) at 9, and then Edge rusher TJ Parker at 29. Now these two are on the board at pick 40, what do you do? What do you do?

@priceacarter Wouldn't Woods play the same position as Jones and ONL? Redundant? Thought we should treat Tonga as a great role player we can pair with a guys like Banks, Macdonald, Jackson, Orange, etc

Peter Woods might be there at 40 the way things are going

Damn

Going on a golf trip. Playing Charleston Muni, True Blue, Caledonia and Pawleys Island. Any tips? Flying out on Thursday.

@LocalLegendCoop What's the hardest to get outside of Rd1? Edge. It's that simple. If Bain isn't there is the real question.

Honestly a terrifying spot to be in.

@EliteGolfDad @chadmumm And then let them through right? I don’t want to have to hit into you twice.

@chadmumm If it’s the first time, assume accidental. Leave it alone. Move on. If it happens again, leave the ball alone and talk to the people calmly like an adult.

Question: if a group behinds you hits into you, do you…

@Arrowhead_Adam Great draft. Even tho I like Halton wouldn't he be redundant behind Jones, ONL? What about one tech instead?

The “if Kelce leaves” mock draft.

@bturner23 Tim Settle

Who are some sleeper free agents you want to see the Chiefs sign next week???

Chicago Golf Club, Aug. 1909, American Golfer, colorized. Bring back hollyhock as a hazard! @lbt3um

Pick 29 I don’t like these options

@ArrowheadCorner @ByNateTaylor Tim Settle? Need 2 one techs not named Nnadi/Pennel. We don't want to use two draft picks.

The #Chiefs could target players such as: DE Jaelan Phillips DE Kwity Paye DE Bradley Chubb DE Boye Mafe DT John Franklin-Myers Per, @ByNateTaylor.

I ran a poll asking what the most important factor in a junior golfer’s development is. I was shocked that everybody didn’t pick Parenting. Because after 25 years in competitive golf, having 3 kids of my own play D1 golf, coaching at Duke and Ohio State, and working with hundreds of junior golf families, here’s what I’ve observed, researched and learned: How you parent is the single biggest factor in your child’s junior golf success. Almost nobody shows parents how to do this well. I’m on a mission to change that. So, here are the 10 most important factors in elite golf parenting. From my chapter on Parenting in Becoming Elite: 1.Create a Safe Environment. Your home must be a safe harbor, not a pressure cooker. Your love is unconditional and separate from their golf score. Same affection after an 85 as after a 65. If your mood changes with their scorecard, you are creating a toxic environment that destroys their love for the game. And eventually your relationship. 2.The Car Ride Home. This is where most parents blow it. The car ride home is a sanctuary. A no golf talk zone. Enforce the 48 Hour Rule. Let them decompress, listen to music, stare out the window. The post round autopsy is one of the most damaging things a parent can do. 3.Body Language. Your kids are reading you on every single shot. Every. Single. Shot. A fist pump after a birdie tells them birdies are what matter. Slumped shoulders after a bogey tells them you’re disappointed. Your expression must be the same after a birdie as after a double bogey. Calm, positive, steady. You are the emotional thermostat. 4.Communication. The most important words when they come off the 18th green: I love to watch you play. Not “what did you shoot.” Not “what happened on 12.” After 48 hours, ask open ended questions. How do you feel about your round? What were you most proud of? What do you want to work on? You are a facilitator, not a judge. 5.Creating Ownership. A player led journey is sustainable. A parent led journey leads to burnout. If you are more invested than they are, that is a red flag. Motivation must come from within. Great parents ask questions instead of giving answers. The player who owns their development keeps improving long after the lessons end. 6. Giving them Freedom. Be a lighthouse, not a tugboat. At tournaments, stay at least 50 yards away. Do not walk the fairway with them or stand behind every green. Give them space to breathe and compete. Do not talk to them during the round unless they initiate. They are in their performance bubble. Do not burst it. 7.Allowing Them to Fail. Failure is not the enemy. It is a prerequisite to growth. Your child is more resilient than you think. They can handle failure and disappointment. They need you to believe in them and let them learn, not protect them from every setback. Removing the opportunity to fail is the real enemy. 8.Staying in Your Lane. You are the parent. Not the coach. Not the caddy. Not the swing analyst. These roles do not mix. Constantly offering swing advice creates a toxic triangle of confusion. Hire a professional. Trust them. Stay out of the way. Your job is love and support. Period. 9.Building an Identity Beyond Golf. If your child’s entire sense of self worth is tied to their golf score, you are setting them up for misery. They are a person who plays golf, not the other way around. Encourage other interests. Protect their social life. Let them go to school dances. Family vacations and time with siblings are sacred. A one dimensional identity is one of the three ingredients that causes burnout. 10.Playing the Long Game. This is a 10 year journey, not a 10 tournament sprint. You are not in a race to be the best 12 year old golfer. You are on a patient journey to see how good they can be at 18, at 22, and beyond. Slow down. The car rides, the early morning tee times, the post round ice cream. These are the moments you will remember. Savor them.

@Arrowhead_Adam As fun as this is I do want people to get on board with defense first three picks being ideal.

Is this what it felt like when Indiana Jones held the Holy Grail?
