Awesome article Kent, looking forward to following this new project! I've gotten you guys' draft guide the past 2 years and love the Chiefs centric view of these prospects.
One thing I've been meaning to ask, why do you think the Chiefs didn't go for Brevin Jordan when his freefall was happening? I definitely understand the upside Kaindoh pick, but I thought Jordan was arguably the top mortal (aka non Pitts) TE in the draft and was pumped when he was still there with that 4th rounder.
I definitely get the skillset preference with adding Gray and that they'd already been sold on him, plus the high ceiling of Kaindoh being itself a solid 4th round pick, but I feel like the talent of Jordan that late at such an important position to KC should've been too tough to pass up.
Thank you so much for the kind words, Rob! I certainly can't speak for the Chiefs, but I think where he was selected tells a story. The talent was certainly there (although he would've been lower on our board had his athletic testing come before we locked the guide in), but there were question marks that teams had to gauge their comfort level with.
It took one play, atta boy and this article. Powell will be a star.
