He's similar to a younger Frank Clark to me, so Veach/Spags definitely seem to have a type at RDE.
My only real disappointment is passing on Hyatt. He could have put that explosive player back in the KC offense. But eh, there are plenty of WRs that might do that yet.
Kind of hopeful they make a move up for Benton tomorrow, really want that cat on the interior DL.
You are not wrong, his weakness is the run, but that's to be expected as he only played 2 full seasons at Kansas State. But his pass-rush toolbox is definitely advanced for his age and has a high motor.
His best position appears to be when he is aligned on the outside shoulder of the tackle. That's his strength. His effectiveness does decrease if he has to play inside shoulder of the tackle.
Overall, if the Chiefs keep him as strictly an outside edge with an occasional inside on obvious 3rd and long passing downs, I think he'll do just fine in Spags aggressive scheme. [Reply]

The Chiefs just won the SB with how many first round players on offense (not counting Mahomes)? [Reply]
