Notes and observations from Day 1 2024 Senior Bowl practices: Battles between the offensive and defensive lines impress right away

With the 2024 NFL draft on the horizon, the NFL world has gathered in Mobile, Ala. this week for the 2024 Reese’s Senior Bowl. Teams will be watching how some of the top draft-eligible players across the country perform as they compete against each other in practices leading up to the all-star game.

The first day of practices are always interesting. Players and coaches are just getting to know each other, so it’s more of a light practice. Here is our notebook for the day from both the National and American Team practices:

Chiefs injury, absence updates from Day 1 of training camp

The #Chiefs held their first full team practice at training camp on Sunday and there were only a few injuries/absences to start the year:

The Kansas City Chiefs finally held their first full training camp practice of the year on Sunday, again gracing the practice fields at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Missouri.

There were two expected absences to start off practice, one injury-related and one contract-related. Tershawn Wharton is on the active/PUP list due to last season’s ACL injury and is not yet ready to return to practice. Chris Jones did not report to training camp with his veteran teammates as he seeks a long-term contract extension. He’ll incur a mandatory fine of $50K for missing practice on Sunday.

With Jones absent from training camp, former Kansas Jayhawk Daniel Wise wound up as the starting defensive tackle opposite Derrick Nnadi according to multiple reports. Wise spent time on the practice squad in Kansas City last season.

Other injuries include rookie OT Wanya Morris, who left practice early to go to the injury tent in Friday’s pre-training camp finale for rookies. After practice, Chiefs HC Andy Reid gave a quick update on Morris, saying that he suffered a minor hamstring injury.

According to several reporters in attendance, Chiefs second-year RB Isiah Pacheco was still wearing the same yellow non-contact jersey that he wore during the past three days of closed practices. He’s out there working during individual drills, but he’s sitting out team drills until he’s ready for some level of contact.

One player who didn’t seem to get much work on the day was WR Kadarius Toney. He caught kicks ahead of practice in special teams drills, but he was held out of teamwork during practice. Reid updated reporters after practice saying that Toney “tweaked” his knee during warm-ups. We’ll see just how long he’s out of practice, but it feels like caution was key here.

Chiefs predictions for Day 1 of the 2022 NFL draft

Our writers take a crack at predicting how Day 1 might play out for the #Chiefs:

The Kansas City Chiefs will make their first selections in the 2022 NFL draft on Day 1. They’re slated to make two picks in the first round at picks No. 29 and No. 30. That is, of course, assuming that Chiefs GM Brett Veach doesn’t decide to trade up and be selective or trade down to acquire more picks.

There are a number of ways that the draft could unfold for Kansas City. Below you’ll find some predictions from a few of our writers on how it could turn out for the Chiefs:

How Saints fans can watch, stream, and listen to the 2022 NFL draft

The 2022 NFL draft is rapidly approaching, and the New Orleans Saints have already made moves to garner excitement. Their trade with the Philadelphia Eagles put picks Nos. 16 and 19 in hand and indicates head coach Dennis Allen isn’t taking his foot off the gas. While known for their aggressiveness in trading up, rarely is it set in stone weeks prior. What’s curious is exactly how they’ll use those picks: select two starters, or chess pieces to trade up.

And they’re well-prepared for it. The Saints currently hold seven draft picks as they look to reload at several roles — with three selections in the top 50. Key positions to watch are left tackle, wide receiver, and quarterback. But safety and defensive tackle shouldn’t be discounted as early round targets.

There’s a sense of intrigue fans haven’t had in years with these premium picks and a new head coach. You can tune in to ESPN, ABC, and NFL Network when the draft starts on Thursday, April 28 from Las Vegas, Nev. Here’s the full schedule of the event:
