How many players have they drafted only to change their postions? Was Warfield the only successful one? The dreaded project pic

I never said that CP was good or bad at evaluating talent, only that he made a mistake in NOT taking away power to the coaches (Gunther, DV) that have no eye for talent. There are plenty of coaches in the NFL that aren't neccessarily the best talent evaluators. But they have a strong scouting and personnel department behind them. |
Draft by far.
Out of all the draft picks between 1999 - 2002 we got Dante Hall and Greg Wesley to show for it. The failure to hit on at least one of the 4 DT picks in the first and second rounds is why we have issues now at OL. If just one of those hits we could have been drafting the OL that we knew we would need in 2 years. You can't draft a pro bowler once every 5 years like Tony G or LJ and say you have done a good job. |
Geez isn't it obvious his Drafts... but influenced by coaches/talent evaluators that suck hasn't helped.
and relying on his good old boy college coaches. |
I'm too confused to vote in this poll thing. Some say Carl wears panties. Some say he overrides HCs on pics (see LJ). Some say he lets the HCs decide on pics (I think even Carl says this). Some say he eats dead babies.
Does anyone really know? FAX |
Yes.

Can I vote agian?

offensive coach = bad defense defensive coach = bad offense that fact that our drafting seems to go into the crapper depending on strength of our head coach indicates that carl lets the head coach heavily influence the draft. personally i don't think carl WANTS the the responsibility of the draft on him ..... it's too difficult. He much rather let the head coach do it so that he doesn't have to take responsibility. |

The good old boy system has been the underlying downfall of the Chiefs these past 10 years. That philosophy that applies to the good old boy drafts, has been the same philosophy Carl has used to hire the last few HC's.... and co-oridinators on both sides of the ball as well. And we have had to give up draft picks to get those "buddies" as well. Not saying other franchises do not use that system as well, but IMO, we need to start fresh with a GM who does not bring in his friends to coach, and have friends in the college ranks who's players are taken in the draft. |

The failure at DT is also what stands out to me. We have paid and are paying for that in several ways. The draft has been CP's greatest failure. |

It's so sad. Back in the day (when Carl first arrived), I think his first pick was DT (was it not?). There's the high bar. But, prior to Herm, we've probably had well over 100 picks during that time and (with precious few exceptions Gonzo, LJ, Szott, Carter, Shields, Edwards, Dante, Allen, etc.), it's been mainly an exercise in disappointment. Of course, some of our picks were traded, but it's probably safe to say that, whatever it may be, our drafting methodology is very poor. I don't know the record of other NFL franchises, but our group can proudly say that far fewer than 10% of our actual draft day picks work out at all. FAX |
Clearly the draft. Head coaching choices have been solid even Herm and Gunther, if you consider the time they were hired.

chicken or the egg ....... which came first, the crappy draft or the head coach who ran the crappy draft? |
I've decided that since Mr. htismaqe isn't posting, I'd resurrect some of his old posts and apply them as warranted. That way, it's almost as if he never left.
Mr. htismaqe: "The ineptitude is a symptom, not a cause. In fact, the problem that Laz mentioned is also a symptom rather than a cause." FAX |
I voted for coaches, but it could easily be both.
