You're saying Reid and Dorsey know more about qbs than Chiefs fans do?

My issue is that ChiefsPlanet's value as a source for good Chiefs news and discussion is rapidly falling. It's nothing but bitching and unsubstantiated posturing anymore.

Anyway, carry on with the bitching. People seem to love it I guess.

Agreed.

It's been stupid. It's a ****ing security blanket for sorry asses coaches to use down the road. But....but...but he was the BPA at the time.

Yup. DaFace nailed it...

I really don't see the problem with the Kelce pick. He has potential to be significantly better than anyone else they have.

Wait. I thought this guy was a raging alcoholic. Smoking pot when it can get you suspended is stupid but isn't that big a deal (Houston and Hali say hi). Just needs to put it aside until after the NFL.

Do I have this right? Kelce had more yards and twice as many TDs in his SR season as Eifert the 1st TE off the board 21st overall. Seems like a good pick to me.

Chiefs having to correct one of Fat Scott's many mistakes from a few drafts ago... passing on Jimmy Graham to draft Moeaki.

Kelce also looks like a monster blocker.

Reid's TEs almost always get over 600 yards and sometimes approach 1,000. You get that out of the TE and a terrific blocker and this is a terrific pick.

Draft Analysis


WHAT HE BRINGS
Kelce is an underrated prospect and is one of the better athletes in the tight end class. He can separate and create after the catch but could improve his strength and technique as a blocker. Still, he has a chance to be a difference-maker as a pass-catcher

HOW HE FITS
This looks like another value pick, rather than a need, as the Chiefs already have Tony Moeaki and incoming free agent Anthony Fasano. When you look at this offense, the Chiefs probably have a low-level need for a No. 3 tight end who can give them production in the passing game. Kelce will likely be a move player who will flex and line up wide to get good matchups. It looks as if new coach Andy Reid wants to use more multi-tight-end sets than he did in Philadelphia, and the addition of Kelce gives them a lot of flexibility in the short passing game.
Alex Smith fans will love that.

Keenan Allen, Damontre Moore, Bacarri Rambo, Terrence Williams, Barret Jones, Quinton Patton, and many, many others.

Kelce was somewhere between the 4th-8th TE in the class. Just don't see the upside relative to the investment, especially given KC's holes.

On the plus side, they could still take the guys in bold tomorrow.

Fairplay 04-26-2013 10:03 PM

I'm thinking this could be a great pick. Moieki is gone.

Mecca 04-26-2013 10:04 PM

I seriously doubt Keenan Allen was ever an option for this team, he's another big slow guy with a knee problem that also has a positive drug test.

Even without that, after paying Bowe you don't want a plodder opposite him.

It's hard to appreciate what Kelce does through just watching his receptions you tube. com/watch?v= gUj5zK06orY
You'll need to delete the spaces, apparently new users aren't supposed to post links.
In his time at Cincinnati, he took people's heads off on offense and special teams, he's been a great route runner, he has the kind of speed to challenge safeties, he's got great hands and is an incredible load to bring down.
He does not have a frat boy-ish personality, he was forced to sit through the 2010 season after he failed a drug screening for weed...
While I do not know the needs of the Chiefs, he's not way down the list of tight ends. Kid has everything you could want in a tight end, Scouts inc rated him the 4th best of a deep TE draft. Personally, I think he's 2nd. He may not be a pro bowler, he certainly won't hurt you. He's carved of wood and thus far, has not shown himself to be frail.

The only real knock with Kelce, is he is a hot head when he plays. He seems mellow off the field but he's incredibly competitive on it. Sometimes, to a fault.(Not like an every game thing though)


Interesting note, he came to UC as a quarterback...

You better ****ing shine b!tch.

You better shine...
