Meh, I'm sure you can find hall of fame guards that were early picks too.

The Chiefs problem is thag they e sucked at drafting. No matter what position, they've sucked

I'm sure you can as well.

Again, I believe it is MUCH easier to find a fatty that can start for your organization in the late rounds than it is to find a playmaker/difference maker late.

You have to go back to 2008 for the last difference maker we've drafted in the 4th or later. (Carr)

In that same time period, we've used NINE picks on OL/DL in the first three rounds.

Makes a ton of sense, I'd have to agree.

I'm not disagreeing with that premise, but the chiefs problem again, hasn't been position picked as much as just taking poor players, and moreso, having a shitty organization to develop them after they've been pIcked.

I think that's the bigger issue, in that between marty and andy, there wasnt much development of said players once picked.

I believe that's changed with this regime in that they have a good staff in place to develop players. Now they need to keep acquiring talent. Position wise I don't really get to hung up on, but I wouldn't be too excited about a first round center, that's for sure, but I wouldn't reach for a wr or whatever just because he plays a premium position.

1st Rd - OLB/S Shaq Thompson
Can fill Eric Berry or Derrick Johnson spot
2nd Rd - Best WR
2nd Rd - Best OL or CB

Chiefs picks:

1st round - OLB/S Shaq Thompson
2nd round - TE Maxx Williams

Why would we draft an OLB in the first?

Go look at the first round of that draft and tell me who has been the best player since that was taken in that first round.

We need help at LB and S, he is both

Damn near anyone would have been a better pick than Tyson Jackson.

Couldn't have done much worse.
