Felix Anudike-Uzomah was drafted with pick 31 of round 1 in the 2023 draft class. He scored a 8.73 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 209 out of 1634 DE from 1987 to 2023. https://t.co/maz03OdBwqpic.twitter.com/xoMJ9ki2Pv
I would also consider the fact that Kansas State ran a 3-3-5 defense (or a 3-man front).
To put up those type of numbers while on that 3-man front (which invites more double teams, mainly the T & G), and winning the Big XII DPOY, kind of explains it.
To put it in another way, when he gets into the 4-man front in Spags scheme, he won't have that double team issue because they also have to account for Chris Jones in the interior. [Reply]
I feel like this is totally underwhelming for a pick. Would they reach for a player in a draft in Kansas City because the player was from Kansas State? Feels like they did.
But I had my sights set on the previous 4-5 players that were literally picked in a row + Mayer who we passed. [Reply]
For pick 31, I'm pretty happy with this regardless of being a K-State homer... Guy has very high motor, and I think he can potentially put on another 10-20lbs and be a beast. [Reply]

I think thats my issue as well.
Im good with FAU and he was realistically one of the picks we expected, its just thinking for a little bit that Murphy, Nolan Smith, Mazi Smith, Anton Harrison, Bresee were all there. Hell at pick 19 it looked like a different draft for us, it was falling perfectly.
Hearing Veach say that they had 16-18 first rounders and FAU was one of them, makes me feel much better. They really liked him and thats great to hear. [Reply]

Pretty meh pick.
No, I'm not a K State fan, but I did call this fucking pick because it's not at all surprising. The Chiefs didn't draft this guy because he's from K State dude. That's retarded. [Reply]
