This. I had to walk away from a coworker cause I couldn't get it through his head Ford would play OLB.

Him: "BUT THE TV SAID DE!!!"

Me: "Yeah, he played DE in college, but he'll switch to OLB just like Tamba switched a few years ago"

Him: "BUT IT SAID DE!!!"

Me: :facepalm:

Let me guess, you said "He was a DE in a 4-3 defense" and they got all glossy-eyed...

My brother texted me after the pick, questioning why we would take another DE in the 1st round. I simply replied with "shutup stupid".

His mind would probably melt if I tried to explain the differences between a 4-3 and 3-4 to him.

At the end of the day KC was in a position to try to fill starting holes in the roster. Instead they went with a bunch of specialists, some of which had a history of missing significant time due to injuries. That just brings back bad memories of Croyle, Moeki, Bell, Kelce and just about everyone other than Roaf.

Personally, I have no idea what direction the team is going in. I expect them to extend Smith soon, but I have no idea why if they aren't going to protect him or give him weapons.

I actually agree with this.

I mean, he could be right but there's absolutely NO WAY he has sources inside the Chiefs telling him they didn't like that pick.
my thoughts exactly...

Fox Sports gave us a B, atleast they're being fair.

Who exactly isn't being "fair"?

When 4 of your 6 picks have significant injury histories and you didn't fill any needs - perceived or real - people aren't going to think much of your draft.

The medical risks alone justify "C" grades.

I find it very odd, though, that analysts consistently advocate "BPA, BPA" but then grade with a strong eye to need.

It's contradictory at best.

I really don't give a shit about "need" when it comes to the draft. FA is where a team should address needs.

I'll just go ahead and parrot Deez's post.

Most here seem to be pretty happy with this one OTWP, you're in the minority.

I think it's possible for need and BPA to meet, though. Dennard, for example, would have been my choice in the first round because I think he was the BPA.
