Because of all the interest in this thread, I've place all of the video content of Patrick Mahomes II's college career, and draft day goodness into a single post that can be found here. Enjoy! [Reply]

This is like the assassination of Franz Ferdinand.
So they just ignore the fact that he was 5 yards behind the LOS when he released the bal to reduce it to 63 yards? Whoever came up with that must me a Broncos homer. It fits the crap that they've been spreading. [Reply]

If there's a poster team for this season's series of WR/CB matchup columns, it's the Chiefs. Kansas City's receivers face the league's toughest cornerback schedule -- and it's not close. The slate includes the hardest schedule overall and for No. 1, No. 2 and left perimeter receivers. It's second-hardest on slot and right perimeter receivers.
Coach Andy Reid moves his receivers around plenty, but Watkins (69 percent perimeter last season) and Hill (62 percent) usually line up outside. This will mean matchups with star cover corners Casey Hayward (twice), Richard Sherman, Chris Harris Jr. (twice), Jalen Ramsey, A.J. Bouye, Stephon Gilmore, William Jackson, Patrick Peterson, Marcus Peters, Aqib Talib and Jimmy Smith. And that doesn't even include a potentially lethal Cleveland group that includes Denzel Ward, T.J. Carrie and E.J. Gaines.
Kansas City will face nine of the top-11 cornerback groups and only three who are ranked worse than 15th. Hill and Watkins are both tremendous talents, but this is one of the hardest cornerback schedules imaginable. Both should be downgraded. [Reply]
