my point stands

yes thanks!

So does mine.

Hopefully, I'm right.

:D

I have to wonder about players like Tate.

Again, our OC has the best info possible about him and Clausen and we pass on both.

Twice.

And after the draft Pioli makes a big speech about character, talent, and intelligence.

I don't think Tate or Clausen fall short in talent. Tate perfectly fits the slot WR/KR role. When we pass twice on Tate and prefer to convert a HB to WR it makes me think there's a good reason behind it (despite my preferences.)

Yeah, and they'll continue to cover asses long after he's gone

I like the McCluster pick for a variety of reasons.

For one, I think he is going to make this team better in a lot of ways. He is an electrifying player that makes this team more dimensional.

He will be the solution to many problems. I think he has great vision and explosiveness which if you really think about it, those are the two attributes necessary that make a great returner, which I think he could be in the NFL.

Count him in as a possible solution to our special teams woes in the return game.
Besides that, I think he is very underrated as a route runner. Plus, the dude has pretty good hands. And if you think about it? What were our problems on offense last year? Dropped passes, too many slow players, oh yeah and Id also like to add he brings another level of toughness to our team. Something Bobby Wade or Lance Long couldn't do btw.

I think he will get plenty of playing time in the slot. So I expect our receiving corps to improve. I think he'll compete in the return game with Javier Arenas. Plus, I could see him getting a few carries here and there to compliment both Jones and Charles. Well, that is the least Id expect from him because of his size. I can't see him necessarily play HB in the NFL. But guys like Warrick Dunn did it at 185lbs. He could get thrown in there to possibly block and protect Cassel. He is a GOOD blocker.

He is listed as 172lbs, but he plays a lot bigger than that. He is an all effort type of guy which is what I really like about him. He doesn't take plays off. Which is what the Chiefs REALLY need. More of those type of guys.

*With all that being said, he could improve the return game, the passing game, add more stability to the receiving corps. Add more creativity to this offense, which is huge. I bet this team designs plays to take advantage of his quickness.

I know, it's all about Cassel. So what? We got speed and we got playmakers. The defense got faster and the offense got faster. It's good.

That'd be nice...

We passed on Tate three times. And I don't think that any of the offensive picks today were made without Weis being a major part of it. (Ditto Crennel with Arenas).

You get extra points for "bigger fish to fry".

LMAO

My bad.

Point stands.

And I agree. The whole "Pioli isn't listening to our OC/DC" is bull$#it. I think that's exactly what he did, looking back...

I agree with you, however, Haley and Pioli must really like this kid and had to pull the trigger then. I'd imagine they probably didn't think they'd have to take him there.

np man

McCluster was an awfully weird selection by Pioli, no doubt about that. Seems more of a luxury type of pick when the Chiefs lack the meat and potatoes.

It's already said and done though. With that out of the way, Dexter McCluster is ****ing insane and brings much needed speed to a slow ass Chiefs team. In the long run, this will be a nice selection.

I just watched 8 minutes of the video presented, and I didn't see him do a single thing that Jamaal Charles doesn't already do, or couldn't do.

The only point that video makes is that we just used the 36th overall pick to take a smaller, slower version of a player we took in the 3rd round 2 years ago.

Again, Charles is a RB, McCluster is a WR. Different positions.
