MEDIA REACTIONS: Chiefs Early Draft Losers on NFLN
 
Quote:

Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs had pressing needs after a rough free agency, and they still have massive questions on the offensive line and at wide receiver. Dee Ford is a nice long-term gamble, but should start his career as a part-time player. Third-round cornerback Phillip Gaines seems more like a developmental prospect. Fourth-round RB/WR/return/cornerback/football player De'Anthony Thomas is a wild card. This was a draft in which the Chiefs needed some instant-impact players, and it's hard to see them here.

Not going to buy into it one bit, its easy to label the chiefs as losers when you only get 1 pick in the first 80 picks.

I say this every year....but how can you grade a draft immediately after its finished?

These things are pointless at this juncture.

To be honest we didn't have an exciting draft. Media wants sexy picks, we didn't get one. Murray was the talk of our draft and he's a fifth rounder. Can't gloat too much over that.

Yep... Less than 24 hours after the draft is over, let's make pointless evaluations about a bunch of players who haven't even visited their respective stadiums yet. The NFL Draft is the gift and the curse.

Can't disagree...

Agreed they haven't even played 1 down in preseason yet it's just stupid to grade them now

Yep. It's simple math. Any draft where you're short as many picks as we were, it's going to be tough.

Personally, I thought they did well with what they had. I especially like the first 2 picks.

It's the instant gratification culture of the society we live in.

It's fun to grade them now. It's up to the players coaches and GMs and scouts to prove everybody wrong or right.

I think that is the point of it?

Prison Bitch 05-10-2014 10:27 PM

There's a lot that goes into wining beyond selection. Didn't the turnaround last year prove that already?

FloridaMan88 05-10-2014 10:29 PM

The draft is over and Avery or Hemmingway are still the projected starting WR opposite Bowe.

That is a big part of why the Chiefs draft is getting bad reviews.

The team's biggest need and they did nothing to address it.

I'd say one season doesn't make it a turn around. We went to the playoffs one year with Matt Casshole & the next year the bottom fell out.

I don't expect them to improve on what we did last year this year, but get past this year and move on drafting a top quarterback and have this draft with a year behind it is going pay off in the long run. That is my hope.
