Keyton and Castles still on the board.. I'm surprised tbh, especially Castles, I would have thought he would go in the 5th

Good for him. Interesting.

He will love playing for Coach Spags defense. Love this pick by the Chiefs.

Another draft steal for KC for wisely choosing a TN Vol. When is the rest of the league gonna catch up? Don't pass on these guys!

Glad Castles played for the Vols.

But what did he ever do to make you think he was an NFL draft pick?

All those dropped passes in key moments came back to bite Keyton.

He is a good player. The people that handle combine invites also agree (he showed out at the combine btw). this year was just super light in tight ends only 12 drafted but looks like the Eagles immediately picked him up.

FYI just because players don't put up huge numbers does not mean they are not NFL caliber.

68 catches 797 yards 7 tds career best season at UT 39 catches 493 yards 5 TD's Jason Witten

92 catches 1226 yards 14 td's career best season at UT 22 catches 2283 yards and 5 td's Castles

Not saying he is even in the same zip code as Jason but their stats are comparable, especially seeing as Castles split snaps. Tight ends to a lot more than just catch passes.

Kid came a looong way his last season. I was proud of him. He handled due criticism well and became a stud.

That said EIGHT UDFA??? Is that not a lot more than usual? That’s 10 guys to the pros.

Congrats Hadden! You're joining a top-notch team.

Probably didn't help. He should have left least year and he would been seen as Velcro hands.

Trey will be a good mentor. He was drafted 221 or 222 and will be able to get him through the process.

Had Haden not gotten injured he would have gone higher (obviously). But he’s really got to clean up his tackling technique. He lowers his head and tries to tackle with his crown way too often. His coverage isn’t the problem, his poor tackling fundamentals are something he really needs to fix, to not only get better, but more importantly stay healthy.

I really think, hope the light was coming on for this guy before he got hurt. Totally possible KC got a steal here.

 

[GritNGrind1906]

This is a great fit for KC and Hadden. Hadden has a similar skillset and tools as L'Jarius Sneed. I think Hadden will blossom with this coaching staff and defensive scheme!

Congratulations to Kamal!

In the seven games he played, his Pro Football Focus coverage grade (90.4) ranked second-best among SEC cornerbacks and fifth-best nationally. He led the Vols with three interceptions, delivering key picks in wins against South Carolina and Texas A&M, and eight pass breakups. The eight PBUs were sixth-most in the SEC despite him missing the final six games after undergoing surgery.
