So who won the draft?
 

Normally there are 13 million threads discussing who had the best draft (almost never the Chiefs), but I can't seem to find any this year. I won't lie, I haven't read several of the draft threads, so maybe it is all buried in there.

But who do you all think had good/bad drafts?

THE CHIEF5

Rams and Ravens stick out to me as winners

Hrm...best drafts

Cincy
Seattle
San Francisco
Rams
Green Bay

Isn't it obvious? Dante Hall's mullet.

Rams. No excuse for Bradford now. None.

Ravens
Vikings
Chargers
Jets
Steelers
Titans

Ravens always seem to have a good draft. Not a coincidence.

I don't care how many times I watch that, it always gives me a chuckle.

And now this is exactly how the world views all Chiefs fans. Like it wasn't bad enough before this...... now we're the midwest US McKenzie brothers from Strange Brew..

I thought the Saints did well with limited picks. Minnesota, St. Louis, Az, SF.

Jets

I'm still holding out hope that this is a parody.

like the jets draft too, and not just because of Geno either.

Buffalo won the draft for me, but I think they lost enough pieces in the offseason that there won't be an appreciable difference this season.

Cincy might have had the best draft, given where they started. Already had talent and all they did was get better.

Rams
Chargers
Vikes
Steelers
Bills

Rams
Jets

Jets.

They get the best QB in the draft in Geno Smith.

They get the best DT in the draft in Sheldon Richardson.

They get the best CB in the draft in Dee Milliner.

They get the best FB in the draft in Tommy Bohanon.

They get two really good, really nasty offensive linemen in Oday Aboushi (NFL.com had him being taken in the first 75 picks and Jets stole him in the fifth round) and Brian Winter that will probably start Day 1.

And they get a really high upside player in Will Campbell that can play either side of the ball on the line.

Geno, Richardson and Milliner were all players who were spoken of as being potential #1 overall picks in this draft and the Jets got all three - and all three (six including Winter, Aboushi and Bohanon) are all at positions of need. Six potential Day 1 starters. That is NFL Draft Gold if you ask me.

The Jets and the Chiefs are basically in the exact same situation. Both fired incompetent general managers who basically ruined the franchise. However the new regimes have taken two different approaches to rebuilding their franchises: the Chiefs decided to build the team through free agency, signing QB Alex Smith, TE Anthony Fasano, DT Mike DeVito, CB Sean Smith; the Jets have gone the route of building through the draft at the same positions as what the Chiefs picked up in free agency. Geno Smith vs. Alex Smith. Sean Smith vs. Dee Milliner. Sheldon Richardson vs. Mike DeVito.

It will be interesting to follow both and see who gets the most success. (I'm doing this as I was on the Geno train very early for the Chiefs and am interested in seeing his NFL career progress.)

St. Louis Rams is #2.

All really, really good players that were drafted and all at positions of need. High impact, high ceiling players on both sides of the ball.

I would have taken both teams players in each round over what the Chiefs ended up with.

Exactly the way I look at it.
I'll be watching both teams this year in comparison.

The Jets, Redskins, and Rams had the best drafts IMO.

I agree they do draft well, but their FO is not without it's problems. They were butt****ed from the cap and had to let a lot of good talent walk.

The Rams and Vikings loaded up.

Every team that drafted a QB before the 5th round lost.

The Vikings were on the "We are winning the Draft" path until they gave up all their decent round picks to move up for Patterson, who wasn't even the best receiver on his college team. It was a ton that they gave up to get him in the hopes that he is the second coming of Percy Harvin.

But at least they were trying. I would have taken Barkley/Smith 1.1! /cp

Can never really say until you see them play a couple of years, but excellent post on why, right now, their draft looks pretty solid.

Doesn't sound like the Panthers gave Cam Newton any weapons and that leaves Steve Smith as his primary target. Steve Smith is getting old especially as WRs go. I don't see how Cam Newton is going progress any better with out help.



So I'd put the Panthers down as losers.

Rep for sure. Really subjectively (I personally was a Geno fan) and objectively it is hard to argue this was a quality Jet's draft.

Losers:

Chiefs

They basically drafted potential backups with every single pick.

Fisher isn't guaranteed to beat out either Albert or Stephenson.

Kelce is going to have to beat out Moeaki and Fasano.

Davis is definitely a backup and who knows if he can even beat out guys like Grey and Droughn for even rotational time.

Sanders Commings is third down guy who we took because Berry can't cover anybody.

Kush and Catapano? Who the **** are these guys? You're telling me that all the really good football players end up at U of Cal Pennsylvania and Princeton? Jesus...

Johnson is the only guy in this entire draft who has any starting potential at all outside of Fisher. A bunch of special teamers at best.

Some of the biggest winners of the draft were Planeteers who refused to buy into the argument that it was worth using the 1.1 on a QB just so the Chiefs could say they tried.

Some of the biggest losers? Well, you know who you are.

Season tickets on sale now! Free high fives at the draft party!

If I heard correctly, Kiper did. He guessed 2 right in the 1st round, while McShay only got 1. Not to worry they'll keep their jobs and be quoted as the truth for seasons to come.

The Jets have a bad offense. They didn't do anything to help prop up Sanchez or Smith. On one hand, yes they drafted good players, but on the other hand they didn't do much to improve the O.

Just because you haven't heard of them, doesn't mean they aren't any good.

Rams

I'll let you know in 3 years ok? I promise.

WE DID

I ****ing hate the Rams but they've killed it two years in a row...

No doubt....really? Buffalo? Good one.

Rams
Vikings
Jets

I love how it was a constant mullet cam when they showed chiefs fans, way to keep the stereotypes alive!

It's equally awesome that the are fat as ****. Way to represent the midwest, assholes.

It would be funny if these guys were actually in the back of the room. Maybe the production crew saw them and thought "I bet these fat idiots will make for better television."

this is probably closer to the truth sadly

Aaaaaaand I stopped reading right there.... ROFL

Potential backups with basically every pick?

Nico Johnson, Eric Fisher, Braden Wilson and Sanders Commings (pfft like Kendrick Lewis will beat him out) will all start and Kelce is gonna get a ton of playing time.

And how can you say that Kush and Catapano suck? You don't know anything about them. Reid said Kush was a sleeper in league circles and everyone was impressed with Catapano.

I'm not saying they are world beaters, but good God.

Got our starting FB.

TO THE FLOTATION DEVICE!

No team in the NFL screws fate like the Kansas City Chiefs. We should have came out of the draft with Fisher and Geno as our top two picks. If we had done that, we would be one of the teams listed as winners of the draft.

The football gods did us a solid and we laughed in their faces and traded for another backup from San Fransisco.

This.

I was happy that we drafted Fisher over Joker, but for real??? Wtf??? What are they celebrating? I don't recall winning the Super Bowl.

This gif cracks me up...

So it looks like Kelce might be more than a tight end and can be a reciever.

we will know in 3-5 years.

This. We have heard for so many years, the Chiefs were screwed for drafting late. But it would appear, at least now, that the team drafting last had a better draft than the team picking first.

Anyone know what year and what pick this was for?

The video has the NFL Network emblem in the corner, but God help us if that is from the last 10 years. :facepalm:

It's probably a replay, and someone erred by sticking live down there. Has to be somewhere between 1983-1991. Todd Blackledge draft maybe?

Number 82 with the mullet and fat dood with a tucked in shirt from the 80's. Just the way they're over excited and high fiving, and pumping their fists. (notice I didnt say fist pump, as this term was coined decades later). This is how people looked and acted 20-30 years ago. There's no way that was in the past 5 years, even 10. Just look at them.

Oh, I don't know...

Have you seen the pictures of draft parties and tailgates and such?

That gif is totally appropriate for 2013 as it was for circa 1989 Kansas City.

I hope so. I don't want to be a part of a fanbase that looks like the crowd at Talladega.

If were talking offense and the Chiefs then I can't help but think of DVs offense with that O line, Jason Dunn and T Rich paving the way for Priest Holmes. If we put that in front of Jamal Charles he'd rush for 2000 yards at 7 yards a carry.

I think that's Wilford Brimley from Coccoon on the left?

He found the youth after all.


Thought he was dead?

Rams raped the draft

Jets
Bills


I'd trade our drafts straight up for them, particularly rams and jets


but hey we got a game changing LT to replace the hole we don't have at LT, and didn't doing anything risky...

avoiding risk is the reason we've had such success over the years.../all chiefs fans

So you think the Rams made up for giving away the second pick of the 2012 draft? They took in a heap of picks from the Redskins. RGIII is big risk (injuries) but huge reward imo but he is only good if he can stay on the field.

Tooooo Late, ROFL Have you been to a game lately?

Why? He's the best QB from this draft. He didn't say best PLAYER.

2006 Baltimore. We got anally raped, and I vowed that I wouldn't be back until we got a franchise QB.

Sticking to my guns.

Exit aging Ed Reed and one dimensional Bernard Pollard, enter Michael Huff and Matt Elam. WIN!
Exit aging Ray Lewis, enter far cheaper and expected to be very solid ILB Arthur Brown. PUSH?
Exit overrated Paul Kruger, enter steal of the off season, and HUGE upgrade in Elvis Dumerville. WIN!!
Traded Anguan Bolden for a 6th, which they used to trade up and steal Arthur Brown. LOSS (slight one)

Other losses:
- CB Cary Williams
- LB Danelle Ellerbe
? LT Bryant McKinnie

Other additions:
+ DE Chris Canty
+ DE Marcus Spears
+ DL Brandon Williams (draft)
+ DE/OLB John Simon (draft)

Ravens have always been a team to have youngsters ready to step into starting roles, which they will need at CB and ILB, since it already appears the Rolando McClain project is a bomb, and possibly WR, as I do not see Jacoby Jones as an full time starter. However w/ Rice, Pierce, Smith, Pitta and Dickson, and Jones/Streeter to fill in WR2/3, I don't see a problem in the receiving corp.

Overall, I hardly see a team getting butthurt here.

This imo is far closer to the truth than any anti true fan will ever admit. I'm in the camp that Kelce will beat out both Moeaki and Fasano for the majority of passing reps.

While wilson may very well be our starting FB, I would sure preferred something else.

Davis was the only true why TF would they do that pick for me. Why not take an edge tweener in DE/OLB Alex Okafor as well as ILB Niko Johnson with those 2 picks end of 3rd / beginning of 4th, and pick a RB later in the 6th instead of drafting a FB for cryin out loud? FBs should be UDFA, imo.

Anyway, I give KC a B- grade, for the late 3rd RB and failure to obtain a 2nd round pick fails, but plus grades for Fisher, Kelce, Johnson, and I'm kinda excited about the C Kush, really like what i've heard about him. Better pick late in the 3rd would offer a solid B and a better pass rush prospect than 7th round guy from the Ivy League might have gotten B+ grade. He may be a fine project (Catepano), but gotta believe we could have done better (e.g. Okafor).

Kush is short for Cushman... :)

Arizona, STL.

That NFC West is gonna be fun to watch.

They are paid actors.

Good for you. I am not going until they approach things differently either.

Well the girl behind the guy pumping his fist is taking a picture with her phone. So god help us.......

What is this from?

I believe NFLN played that at the draft. I assumed it was the chiefs sponsored draft party

Oh.....****.....:facepalm:



Sigh

The way these shows often work is that they coach the audience to react with enthusiasm when the camera goes live. It's not always spontaneous.

Yeah that was live from the Fisher pick.

This years draft when they selected Fisher.

True fans celebrate.

I still think the guy in the white tshirt is Hogfarmer. Look at that powerful stroke and we know how pumped he was to get the Fisher pick right.

I think that's a well practiced pump from years of hog jacking.

This exultation is for the Eric Fisher pick, but the year doesn't matter. For them, it will be always be 1980s-ish

This. The camera guys tell the folks in the front row that they are going to be on national television and to act all excited when the network cuts to them. The cool people don't sit in the front row usually, so that's why this horrid clip was spawned.
