I don't think spending 2 picks in the top 2 rounds, over 2 drafts, is pissing away picks.

The Rams NEEDED a LT. They thought they were going to get that in Smith.

The Rams NEEDED a RT. They thought Saffold was going to play there.

Saffold played at LT, Smith at RT.

And those two guys are the only starters the Rams have on their OL that they drafted.

Jeez...

Tannehill has only been a QB for 1.5 years and will be a much more productive player than Ricky Stanzi.

The last time a Top 5 pick was traded in the Draft was 2009.

The Jets gave up their 1st and 2nd round picks, and 3 other players.

They just went (predictably) from a rebuild to a win now mode. Need butts in the seats! Its the Chiefs way, and I predicted it several months ago.
The definition of insanity, maybe they will get lucky and get different results this time.

Pioli ain't trading up, he will bring in McDaniels to save face with his Cassel debacle trade plain and simple. What coach would want to come here being told make Cassel successful except for McDaniels.

We're trading down if anything.

If you read the message I responded to, you'd see they were suggesting the Rams would take Matt Kalil.

I get that.

My reading comprehension is 0.

But there isn't anything wrong with selecting Kalil if they are able to redo Smith's contract.

Just my $.01(yeah, I went there).

And most people agreed that they raped the Browns in that trade to acquire Sanchez, because nobody wanted to move up.

Of course, with the new Rookie slotting, the picks are more valuable and more people will be willing to move up.

Why do you like him? He doesn't impress me that much. He looks like Blaine Gabbert, only less spectacular.

Chiefs will be 5-11


Skins getting to 6-10 wins vs eagles and vikes
Panthers getting to 6-10 wins vs texans and bucs

Like I said he's a project but I like the guys size and can make any throw. I was pretty impressed with him when A&M played LSU he was hitting guys who were covered. He did throw a few picks that game but it was like his 7th game as a starter.

Drafting is not the same as developing. The Chiefs went from 1987-2007 without starting a QB they had drafted. BTW, that QB in 1987 only threw one pass, Doug Hudson. Mike Elkins threw one pass. Matt Blundin had 9 attempts and was given up on after 2 seasons. Steve Matthews had 48 attempts all with other franchises. Steve Stensrom didn't even make the roster though he was in the league 4 years after with over 300 attempts. James Kilian didn't make the roster, Pat Barnes didn't make the roster.

The Chiefs didn't even draft a QB from 1998 until 2005.

Tannehill would be a typical Chiefs pick. A converted player.

He's not really a converted player. He went to A&M as a QB. They used him as a WR and now he's back at QB.

Huh?
