onejayhawk Posted October 29, 2022 Author Share Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) A bye-week article grading the class. It's a bit harsh. In particular, Skyy Moore has not been that bad.https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/grading_the_chiefs_2022_rookie_class_at_the_bye_week/s1_16631_38053883 Pick 21 Trent McDuffie CB - Washington - Incomplete Pick 30 George Karlaftis EDGE - Purdue - B- Pick 54 Skyy Moore WR - Western Michigan - F Pick 62 Bryan Cook SAF - Cincinnati - C- Pick 103 Leo Chenal LB - Wisconsin - D Pick 135 Joshua Williams CB - Fayetteville State University - C Pick 145 Darian Kinnard OL - Kentucky - Incomplete Pick 243 Jaylen Watson CB - Washington State - B+ Pick 251 Isiah Pacheco RB - Rutgers - B- Pick 259 Nazeeh Johnson CB - Marshall - Incomplete This one has a breakdown of the playing time and results of the rookie class. https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/lists/kansas-city-chiefs-rookie-report-card-2022-nfl-season-bye-week/ Edited October 30, 2022 by onejayhawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefs82 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Thought GK played well tonight and McDuffie was that dude. If he can be that #1, it’s gonna make life so much easier for Sneed to blitz and cover #2 WRs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted November 7, 2022 Author Share Posted November 7, 2022 Sneed blitzing has got to be hard to gameplan against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onejayhawk Posted November 8, 2022 Author Share Posted November 8, 2022 McDuffie was everything they wanted with the trade up. GK had a good game as well. I will be looking for the snap counts tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingseanjohn Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 A good sign for a rookie. Now he just needs to keep improving and get those sacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to have him really low in run defense. Like, really low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingseanjohn Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) Just to update my post from a month ago of Karlaftis vs Walker vs Hutchinson: Walker: 13 pressures, 5 qb hits, 2.5 sacks, 7 hurries, 3 knockdowns, 511 total snaps Hutchinson: 14 pressures, 9 qb hits, 4.5 sacks, 5 hurries, 4 knockdowns, 479total snaps Karlaftis: 11 pressures, 4 qb hits, 0.5 sacks, 8 hurries, *2 knockdowns, 385 total snaps *PFR showed 5 knockdowns previously, now 2. Not sure why and they don't break it down by game. Just looking at the stats, you'd think he isn't doing well. But look at those snap count differences. He's more efficient. Hutch has the most sacks but they've all come from two games. I haven't really watched either other player to truly compare; although we get the chance this week with Walker.

kingseanjohn Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) Saw this tweet. I have been using PFR for my stats - which show 11 prior to Sunday. I'm curious what source he is using. Edit: It's PFF. There's no way I'm paying for a subscription though. Edited November 15, 2022 by kingseanjohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 GK is not going to challenge for the ROY award but he is one pick I have no second thoughts about. McDuffie might have if he were not injured. Day #1 was a fantastic haul for us. Day #2 not so much. Skyy is not fitting in smoothly. Perhaps a year of experience is needed. WR often take time to figure the league out. Cook has been solid. He plays a decent S and is valuable on ST. Chenal is the disappointment in my book. I expected him to be a force against the run already. It took Gay two full seasons to figure it out so I guess it's harder than it looks.

onejayhawk Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 Re GK and batted passes, that seems to be a speciality of this DL. Chris Jones saved the SB with a couple of deflections. Often excitement in training camp fades and disappears when the reality of NFL competition Often August heroes only make PS and rarely or never play a regular season down. Devon Key comes to mind. That seemed to be happening this year with Isiah Pacheco but a funny thing happened. Pacheco kept doing well in his bit parts and we watched his role grow. Make no mistake, the best RB on the roster is McKinnon because he is an outstanding pass blocker and a very good receiver. However, Pacheco has become a very good power compliment to McKinnon's technique and finesse. On top of that, he is becoming dangerous with the rock in his hands.https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2022/11/23/23473078/chiefs-film-review-rb-isiah-pacheco-unlocks-running-game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingseanjohn Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Update time: Walker: 19 pressures, 8 qb hits, 3.5 sacks, 10 hurries, 5 knockdowns, 699 total snaps Hutchinson: 23 pressures, 13 qb hits, 7.0 sacks, 10 hurries, 5 knockdowns, 766total snaps Karlaftis: 15 pressures, 8 qb hits, 3.5 sacks, 8 hurries, *3 knockdowns, 586 total snaps *PFR knockdowns changed over a month ago Stats still on par or better than the other two when you consider the snap counts.

onejayhawk Posted December 15, 2022 Author Share Posted December 15, 2022 Hutchinson is for choice of the three but it's close. GK stacks up quite well with Walker. The thing not covered is the impact on the running game. Which sets the strongest edge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
