Veach said the #Chiefs had 16-18 players with first round grades and Felix was one of them.

Also said a couple AFC teams weren’t interested in trading with Kansas City.

Naturally.

I don't see how he was better than Karlaftis, but I'd love to see some clips.

Nobody got a 'good' grade.

FAU -- 69.9
GK -- 63.8
Malik Herring -- 62.5
Chris Jones -- 61.0

And honestly, I have ZERO idea how they got there. 21 pass rush snaps, 1 total pressure. GK, OTOH, in 38 rush snaps had FIVE.

I really do not understand how they grade DL (or OL play) at all. It just makes zero sense to me and it is SO prone to confirmation bias.

But hell, the guy played 35 snaps and didn't suck. Regardless of what you think about his grade (total grade ended up checking out as decent), he most assuredly didn't suck. He was solid.

He’s getting better. If anything he’s not gonna be a Skyy Moore level draft pick. Dude was putting in work yesterday.

I've harped on FAU's get off all season. He has been MUCH better so far through this game. Great job here getting off the ball and staying low and underneath Trent Williams' block pic.twitter.com/4tzQ5k3fpr

FAU starts the game against a double team of Trent Williams and Aaron Banks. Part of FAU's year-to-year improvement has been in the run game, and he doesn't let either player climb. FAU and Chenal hold up and allow Watson to submarine in. FAU disengages to help with the TFL pic.twitter.com/FDO0mPgjky

He did line up inside a few times too and had some quality rushes. Maybe that’s where he can be effective?
