Chiefs listing McCluster as a WR
 

Just reported on 810

slot guy

I said this the second they took him. They view him as Percy Harvin, not a running back.

Of course. We didn't just draft a 3rd string RB.

Small size, particularly height worries me. He better be open cause he isn't going to catch any of Cassel's rainbow brite, jump balls.

In hindsight, this shouldn't be surprising:

1) Haley expressed the need to become more explosive on offense and in the kick return game

2) They value guys who are versatile and can create matchup issues

3) Appears that they really wanted to get Sproles in the offseason before he got tagged, and they were rumored to be really interested in Cribbs.

This pick only ends up being justified if he can have the same game breaking ability on the field as Charles provides.

Also, this is a copycat league. I think the Chiefs looked at what Reggie Bush provided the Saints offense last year and probably see the same type of deal here in terms of how they want to use him offensively to create mistatches...

A slot guy makes more sense than a guy on the outside anyway, given what Cassel's woes are. Shorter throws will lead to more completions.

Cassel got the ball to Welker's 5-8 ass just fine.

Can't wait to see the return of the Dante Special Midget dump pass.

I like this kid more and more as I'm watching video.

Obviuosly they didn't think he would still be around at 50. Probably why it took so long to make the pick. They were probably trying to see if they could trade down and still get him.

Told you guys. This is Pioli's Wes walker.

Philly was going to take him with the following pick from what I heard.

How is wes welker doing now days?

Our head coach is a former wide receivers coach.

I'm going to trust him on this.

He was a key part of me winning my FFL last year.

He's no Dexter McCleon!!

How about instead of trying to draft clones, we just take the best players.

I think they really see this as a guy that is going to be quick out of the slot and return punts and kicks. We were HORRIBLE in that area that year and badly needed to upgrade that position along with WR.

Philly was set to take him if we didn't. They were going to use him a bit like Westbrook was used.

Lance Long approves this message.

Well, now that I've calmed down and looked him over a little more, I guess he's going to be a Dante Hall clone. Maybe this pick wasn't so bad...
Then again,

**** you Pioli. We should have gone Defense with that pick.

Hey I'm not saying its a good pick, just saying that this has Pioli's signature all over it. What he's thinking with the pick.

But Haley and Pioli are ****ing idiots. We could do better than them. How dare you agree with them.

You guys were just originally pissed that you didn't know anything about him. Pioli probably doesn't know shit about your jobs, but.....

Lots of crying girls here...

And how do you know who the best players are there you message board scout?

All of these picks are all Pioli. I mean, it's not like the guy doesn't have a history of completely ignoring his entire scouting department.

The Chiefs could have accomplished both of those goals by trading for Ted Ginn, Jr.

And it would have only costed them a 5th round pick versus using a high second round pick on what will amount to a third string RB.

Say hello to Derrick Blaylock Part II

pocket macklin

We had to get him there if we wanted him. Case closed.

Was it worth using a high second round pick on a slot WR, return guy?

The Chiefs could have traded for Ginn... a proven guy in BOTH of those areas for a 5th round pick.

Fat Scott is disgracing himself with this abortion of a draft. First passing on a franchise left tackle for a safety and now using a high second round pick on Derrick Blaylock the Sequel.

It isn't a good sign when you make people yearn for Dictator Carl on draft day.

You sure seem to know alot of details that only professional scouts or an employee of the Chiefs could know.

Please tell me your secret... My guess it is just arrogance.

His dropped passes killed too mnay drives. Plues there were locker room issues and coachability.

lol

now I'm just going to get high and laugh at this shit

Hydro/cods needed with wine chasers ....

I also have to check the sanity of picking a slot receiver or 3rd down back, whatever you want to call him in the second round when you have so many positions of need.

Why don't you let the player establish himself rather than comparing him to a bunch of assholes?

I'm ok with this pick even though I wouldn't have made it. This guy made all kinds of plays in the SEC. With all the screens we like to run we need someone like this. I think we probably could have got him later though.

I have no defense for the Arenas pick. That was ****ing reeruned.

Duh

Glad our defense is set and we can use picks on 3rd on the depth chart WRs. Whew, for a minute, I thought we'd waste a pick on a NT.

the second that Arenas guy steps on the field as part of the defense to cover a WR is the second we watch the career day defense back in full force.

I'm thinking they are gonna try Dorsey at NT

This is the big mystery. We need a DT badly and we went with 2 small guys. Baffling to say the least.

Although, with all the needs for the team it seems they are spreading the pics out evenly...

just costs 5 cases of muscle milk

Yup, I didn't want to trade anything for that failure.

Then we'll still need another DE. We still NEED an OLBer. Value was there and we chose a 3rd on the depth chart WR. No regard for value. NONE.

Chiefs version of sproles I think

Funny, Im listing him as yet another WASTED SECOND ROUND DRAFT PICK.

The guy fits this team's needs in a lot of ways. I don't get the hate at all.

Might not be the guy you wanted, but a guy that does this isn't a "wasted" pick, I don't care who you are.

against SEC teams this year

Arkansas - 260 YDS
Auburn - 203 YDS
Tennessee - 342 YDS
LSU - 164 YDS
Miss St - 145 YDS
Vandy - 176 YDS

and against Big XII teams

Texas Tech - 180 YDS
OK State - 229 YDS

Also the only SEC player in History with 1,000+ yards rushing and 500+ yards receiving in a single season.

Chiefs got a huge offensive weapon.

This.


He was the pick that upset the Clausen fans.

Thanks again. Hopefully you are getting across to people.

Well, there weren't many people who were more vocal about wanting Clausen than I was. Thing is, this team needed PLAYMAKERS everywhere. That's what this guy is.

Two concerns:
1. not sure how his size will translate to the NFL.
2. not sure how often he will see the field. 2nd round is a premium price to pay if the guy is going to be on the bench most of the afternoon.

wow!!!

Listed at 165 lbs on the Chiefs website.

:eek::eek::eek:

Ted Ginn Jr. hasn't proven dick.

I think we will see a lot of 3-wide sets this year.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was our base set.

When was the last time a 165-pound weakling made it in the NFL?

There's one example.

He's a bad ass that line up all over. Fast with good cut ability. He destroyed my beloved Razorbacks damn near by himself. This kid can flat make things happen.

Whoops!

that's what I tried to tell the morons in the draft thread but like they'd listen

The only worry about size is durability. Dante took some hard hits and got right back up. Once you get the ball in the hands of some of these smaller guys they can be extremely good and illusive to the bigger guys. Darren Sproles is listed at 5-6 185. So I'd say he is closer to 170-175. And the little ****er is damn good.

I'm a huge fan of McCluster. I'm not a big fan of the Arenas pick (or that Iowa TE), but think McCluster (along with Charles and a hopefully improved Bowe) helps our offense quite a bit. If Cassel fails with the guys we've picked up today along with the FAs, then he's a lost cause.

You're really going to compare a guy that ran a 4.31 to a guy that ran a 4.58?

He is not DeSean Jackson, I'll eat my shoe if he's that.

cool

is there 2?

I get so sick of this shit. There is the 40 speed then there is what you do on the ****ing field. 2 1/10's of a second is not something I am going to bank an argument on.

can we stop with the 4.58 40 time BS?? He's clearly faster than that, and ran 4.4's at his pro day. The Indy track is now SLOWER than the old one. Noticed EVERYONE's 40 times at their pro days were faster than the combine? And if you cant see he's faster than 4.58, than your ****ing blind.

how many 165 lbs guys haven't made it in the nfl?


all but 1?

isn't Percy a lot bigger and faster? McCluster doesn't suffer from migraines though so I guess that's a bonus

Get sick of it all you want.

In the pros, there's a huge difference between a 4.31 and a 4.58.

Jackson is successful because he's faster than everyone else on the field.

There are guys that weigh 75 pounds more than McCluster that can run a sub 4.6. And he'll find that out very quickly.

Harvin is like 6' 200lbs and ran a much better 40.

It's not a good comparison.

He ran 4.4's on his pro day. Happy now?

Dwayne Bowe's 40 is better than McCluster's for comparison sake.

he or we?

No, I'm not.

And he outweighs him by over 50 pounds.
