He can't hit me with that because I liked Matt Ryan...

Pretty good, considering he recorded Rock Me Amadeus.

Pretty damn good. I'm not shy about atoning for shit like some of the other draftniks around here who believe their reputations depend on the myth of infallibility.

I can understand that to a certain degree, because nobody cares when you get stuff right, and draft opinions are inherently "gotcha!"-inviting. I mean, I was right about a bunch of shit that everybody else was wrong about, too, but nobody gives a shit about that. They want to peg me for the many things I get wrong rather than the many things I get right.

That's the necessary evil, and I embrace it rather than shirk it.

I hated our first day last year, other than Dorsey. I loved our second day.

I really like this draft this year. We'll see if I'm remotely correct.

This is pretty much what I'm talking about.

I like our draft. I don't know a ton about the folks we drafted, but this draft has a very different feel to it than any I remember under Carl.

I would have rather drafted Sanchez and taken Maualuga or someone different at 2, but I don't see much sense in complaining about it now. Our GM has really hitched his train to Cassel, I'd imagine he knew that before he traded for him.

My guess is a few years from now people will look back at this draft as a very important one that got us several key building blocks.

Well, I wasn't impressed, but I also concede that I really don't know shit. I hope you're right and I'm wrong. All I do know, is who do you take at 3 if not Jackson? If the thought process is you're gonna put Dorsey in the middle BJ Raji has no value there. Who do you go with? I wasn't happy at the time, but in hindsight, if they're hell bent on going 3-4 it was the most logical pick. It beat Curry IMO.

In my opinion, I wanted Raji. Jackson was the second or third player I wanted after him, if we couldn't trade down.

I never believed Dorsey fit the 3-4, unless we stuck with a hybrid version or go occasionally with pure rush packages like the Cards did with Dockett. Dorsey cannot be our full-time NT. Raji has all the tools, however generic it is to say that.

For me, from the Pioli point of view it was Raji vs. Jackson. It's possible he liked Raji more, but considering we've already spent high picks on DT (Tank, Dorsey), he figured he might give them a shot and opt for Jackson since we really only have one player that made any sense as a 3-4 DE (McBride).

I'd been rooting for Raji for months.

I'm not saying he wouldn't have been the best pick, but I would be pretty upset if this new regime just came in and abandoned Glenn Dorsey. If that turns out to be another waste of a top 5 DT I am going to burn somebody's house down.

I think the Chiefs offseason in 4 years will be looked back on with a vile feeling.
