Like I said, the medical red flags alone justify an average grade.

And regarding need, in a draft that deep, there were players available that not only could have been considered BPA, but also played a position of need.

Everyone's idea of BPA is different. I don't recall taking a single guy of our first three picks that was a Mayock "10 best available" at the time we took them.

They just gave him a weapon. Jesus Christ.

It's not a matter of who's BPA on your board or my board or Mayock's board, it's who's BPA on the team's own board. They define their own selections.

My point is more that it seems that the Chiefs took whom they believed to be the BPA.

And I'm OK with this. Yes, there are legit concerns about all of these guys, but they play impact positions. It's not like they took a ****ing guard in the first, which is essentially impossible to defend with claims of BPA.

A ****ing guard is never the BPA in the first.

So, philosophically, I believe the Chiefs approach in terms of positional value was sound. And we've talked the merits of positional value every draft because of KC's penchant for ****ing this up.

And this is the less verbose version.

What about a MAC tackle #1 overall?

Again, using Mayock as an example, Dennard was the BPA at our pick. Calvin Pryor at 22nd and Marquise Lee at 28th would have been the next two where BPA and need intersected.

Ford was ranked 37th.

Mayock's last mock that considered both BPA and need had Ford falling to Dallas at 47.

All of this is amplified by the fact that the Chiefs typically don't utilize FA appropriately.

This is where you fills "needs," and you have to pay out the ass for it. Don't want to get ****ed over by the market? Then don't draft like shit and create holes for your franchise.

And the only way to do the latter is to consistently get the most amount of talent possible, which speaks to a BPA approach.

Which is why I said, everyone's idea of BPA is different.

Terrible. But last year's draft isn't the focus right now. Terrible, terrible draft, it appears.

I thought Poe was a bust his Rookie year, then he turned into Beast mode last year.
I'm hoping to see the same from Fisher this year... We'll see

I guess we disagree there at some level, I viewed another CB as more of want, it'd be nice kind of a thing... the needs in my mind were safety or receiver/tight end.

But with Denver looming around every corner, another solid CB can never hurt, so I'm glad we addressed it with Gaines, and sure, Dennard would've been even better.

Anyway, this is the first time that a draft totally didn't go the way I though it should/would, and yet I somehow ended up pleased with it... I saw a plan in action.

I wonder if people will poo poo the undrafted players we bring in?

"We could have got X off the streets-why did we take Z-God the Chiefs suck."

Lots of posters on here thought he was a Bust as well-dumbest pick of all time! :doh!:

A homerun hitter in every sense of the word.
