The following was posted in the Draft Talk post thread:

I like it. He has 4.47 speed and can catch the ball out the backfield. Here's some BIO:

Gray started 29 games, played in 49, collected 3,298 yards and 30 touchdowns rushing; 776 yards (103 catches) and six scores receiving; and 2,349 yards and two more touchdowns on kickoff returns. That totaled 6,423 all purpose yards at that rate of 131.08 per game.

He was projected as a 3rd or 4th rounder. There's been a lot of debate regarding the selection of Poe at #11, but since then, they have just ripped it a new one with getting not only need players, but good football players & things are looking good, not only now, but long-term.

Beautiful job by the Chiefs brass. I was apprehensive coming into the draft & after the selection of Poe at #11, but they've completely annihilated that apprehension in a resounding way since round 1.

5-10, 206 lbs, 4.47 speed, 21 bench press reps & last until 6th round? Go figure. No freaking way he should lasted beyond round 5.

The Chiefs brass has just ripped the guts out of this draft & I've been following their drafts for decades & this is looking like their best in a long time -- especially considering the talent level that was already there & the FA's they signed.

Sorry... just REALLY excited about this pick. The value alone is something to be celebrated!! Getting his talent in the 6th is laughable. I didn't even check to see if he was still available because I just assumed he'd been taken.

McNutt in the 7a and Burfict at 7b would be nice.

damn... Jeff Fuller would be a nice pick instead of McNutt

i hope we go o-line with our 7a and b. we need depth. maybe ILB

O-line in the 7th would just be camp fodder. I think teams need to be looking at high ceiling/low risk guys like Burfict, Fuller, etc. Guys with red flags but REAL upside that could see them become regular starters or potential stars.

Either low risk/high ceiling guys OR career special teamers.
