@Daily_Chiefs_ @hbtCHIEFS If Brashard makes the 53 man in August for a second year in a row, he will be the Chiefs’ first 6th/7th rounder to do so since Pacheco and Watson

I think Brashard being a draft pick (with how Veach/Reid treat their draft picks) he is 100% safe, plus he is PR/KR1.
So that leaves Demercado as the RB that may be left off if a surprise shows up from UDFAs.
He’s on a cheap contract, so it doesn’t affect the cap if he’s cut, and he’s in the EXACT spot that Elijah Mitchell was last season where everyone just expects him to get opportunity.
Don’t forget, Andy is really slow bringing in guys that don’t know his offense and Brashard is the only RB that knows it currently.
English
The 3 RB's that are most likely to make the 53 are:
Kenneth Walker
Emmett Johnson
Emari Demercado
Brashard Smith is RB4 and active on gameday if he earns the starting PR/KR spot.
Daily Chiefs@Daily_Chiefs_
Hot take 🔥👀 I’m lower on Emari Demercado than most Talented player, but I view him more in that Elijah Mitchell tier — not a clear difference-maker Feels like an RB4/inactive most weeks… and if a UDFA pops, he could even be on the bubble 😬
English
@hbtCHIEFS @TupeloDylan Knowles just has the misfortune of the Chiefs drafting two DBs while McDonald appears firmly in the plans with no linebackers take
English
@TupeloDylan He didn't make the initial 53. Signed to their PS in August. He eventually worked his way onto the active roster in October though
English
LB Cooper McDonald worked his way up from a minicamp invite and eventually made the 53. I believe he was the only UDFA to make it.
Rookie minicamp is this weekend. Lots of guys will aim to make a lasting impression. I wonder who it will be this year?
Matt Derrick@mattderrick
LB Cooper McDonald from TCU has signed with the Chiefs' 90-player roster, per source. He's the third minicamp tryout player to sign with the Chiefs, along with S Major Williams and WR Jimmy Holiday. I expect a couple more signings are possible.
English
@hbtCHIEFS Just hope we get some clarity soon on who is and isn’t actually signed.
English
@Arrowhead_Adam Brashard Smith is easy to figure out. Either he separates from the pack of return game hopefuls and hangs on in a gadget role or he loses his job. I don’t think it matters if he’s listed at WR or RB. He has to be the top returner to factor into anything
English
Demercado is the only clear pass pro back in the bunch. Brashard Smith is more on the bubble IMO. The Chiefs put a premium on protecting 15. Even more so post-surgery.

Just reading through a few draft articles at @ArrowheadPride and I found this little gem from my old mucker @stagdsp 😊 Thanks bro!

@DMacWake316 Becoming probably the best player of the 2022 draft really made people forget the Jordyn Tyson level injury panic Stingley had coming out of LSU
English
@TrumanChief That’s fair I was focused solely on the tape I’m sure the injury affected the Stingley grade for teams
English
Stingley and Sauce
Witherspoon is a debate

How many of these 1st round CBs from the last 5 drafts would you rank ahead of Mansoor Delane as a PROSPECT?

@jessenewell Love your stuff but think the biggest question about the specialists easily is if Butker can rebound. I was wondering if the Chiefs would add a UDFA kicker to push him after seeing the pressure approach work for Araiza last year
English
Here’s a fresh look at each Chiefs position group — with one looming question about each (free link) nytimes.com/athletic/72376…
English
@ArrowheadLive Would have ranked Delane third behind Gardner and Gonzalez. Stingley’s became a stud but I feel better taking Delane than I would have Stingley at the time in 2022 because of the injury risk he entered with. Obviously that would change now

@GlydeKingdom @ArrowheadLive @RealBirdLawyer @LanceZierlein Stingley kind of had some of the scrutiny Jordyn Tyson had this draft cycle. He only played 10 combined games his last two years at LSU and was recovering from a broken foot much of the 2022 draft cycle
English
@ArrowheadLive @RealBirdLawyer @LanceZierlein Stingley wasn’t 1 with a bullet and not even on the same level as the other elites? Kinda surprising.
English
Here’s how NFL network’s @LanceZierlein graded each of them, for reference
Delane 6.77
Gardner 6.72
McDuffie 6.70
Gonzalez 6.70
Stingley 6.50
Witherspoon 6.47
Mitchell 6.47
Arnold 6.45
Wiggins 6.43
Barron 6.42
Elam 6.38
Hairston 6.37

Use one word to describe Joe Burrow's new look

@BKLando_ Cole Christiansen has literally never played a defensive snap for KC. All special teams, usually as a replacement when injury forced an existing special teamer is needed as an injury replacement on defense. Also appears to have no career penalties. He’s never been the problem.

Cole Christiansen and Jack Cochrane played football for them last year I promise my standards aren’t All Pro or bust

@RichOToole At the one on southside Dallas I once saw Roger Creager drink so much through the show he forgot the lyrics to one of the last songs he sang. Was happy to see it looked like he was taking better care of himself last time we went to one of his shows.

I wish they would open back up 🙏🏽🎶

Any of y'all ever go to Gilley's?

@Slack4Tim I don’t think they need to consult Jones before restructuring. The unknown with him is over half of his money for the 2026 cap comes via a roster bonus that may or may not have already been paid. If they’ve already paid him that, there’s not much left to restructure
English
@TrumanChief restructure Jones, but hes never been a team player in that regard, even when hes campaigned to sign players that they'd need him to restructure in order to get
English
I have the Chiefs needing $10.165 million in top 51 cap space to sign Mansoor Delane, Peter Woods, R. Mason Thomas and Jadon Canady. Chiefs currently have less than $7 million in cap space.
Contracts for Emmett Johnson, Cyrus Allen and Garrett Nussmeier will fall outside top 51
English
@HisDirknesS I like Allen better than I ever did Royals. He runs a much better route tree.
I got fooled by Moore, but the Chiefs tried to make him Tyreek Hill. Let Allen run real routes and don’t worry about the YAC stuff.
English
I was in on Skyy Moore.
I was out on Jalen Royals.
I'm thinking I might be in on Cyrus Allen.
English
If only someone had explained the UDFA process before 3 year contract for Diego Pavia click bait started.
Jared Sapp@TrumanChief
After Rd 7, teams transition to UDFAs Every UDFA in 2026 will sign for 3 years @ $3.1 million (combined minimums thru 2028). Plus maybe a small signing bonus. That money means nothing without making a team. Flashy salary guarantees usually offset with practice squad money
English
@RichOToole Written long before DFW, Austin and Houston built palace high school stadiums to attract kids to lie about their addresses for football
English
And the farmers bitched, we’re no good at football anymore. 🙏🏽🎶
English
@josh_zylstra Always like to keep that on the down low.
Also, Tyreak Sapp is not related to Warren Sapp in spite of being a pass rusher who grew up in Florida. Sure that would have been really hard on Greeny.

Hopefully a host who doesn’t look at a dude’s last name and assume his dad must be someone with the same last name who played the same position 20 years ago

What does the future of NFL Draft coverage look like in a post NFL Media-ESPN merger? Joel Klatt on potentially his last time covering the Draft at the NFL Network desk @joelklatt | @heykayadams
English
@NicWestin They are. I didn’t see them make that mistake, but they also weren’t in a position to have to tell people’s stories on national TV.
If Greenberg wasn’t prepared or media notes were flawed for a top 50 prospect they knew they’d talk about, he and ESPN deserve to be called out
English
@TrumanChief The beast is released two weeks before the draft! We are talking about draft research back in JANUARY. You don’t think Trevor Sikkema and Connor Rodgers are well respected draft analysts?
English
@Nate_Knows_Ball Probably only set up to where there’s more of an option to ride out 2027.
I have no idea if something like this is happening. But how much longer Jones wants to play could make a big difference on what the Chiefs do
English
@TrumanChief Would it be something similar to what they did with Kelce you think?
