The draft isnt really as important as a lot of so called "geniuses" will proclaim. sure you can get some improtant pieces but its not going to make or break your team.

why do you think its pretty much the same teams picking at the top and picking at the bottom every year?

yep.
which is why the Chiefs (who are rarely this high in the draft) need to take a player who will impact the game; playmaker.

taking a tackle when you can lock up Albert long term is reeruned. (assuming no trades etc)

it'll be awesome in 4 years when our awesome #1 overall pick is a stud and wants a long term deal.....

Even if you're trolling, it doesn't matter. John Dorsey vehemently disagrees with you. The Ron Wolf philosophy is perhaps more draftcentric than anything else out there.

I do hope you enjoyed this offseason of free agency, because it's likely this kind of shopping list won't be happening again for a long time.

Not sure on the coaching thing, but there are a few who won it on their 2nd team. As for QB's, there are 11 out of the 46 Super Bowls that were won by retread guys. So 1 out of about every 4.

I'm not sold on Alex, but we will see. He might get it done. :shrug:

Good post. I'm not dejected about Alex Smith as some fans here. I just think we paid a little too much for him. That said I have a wait-and-see attitude about him with a dash of excitement added in due to Reid's resume with QBs.

The only thing Im dejected about is Reids man crush. He better take those ****ing blinders off. At least Dorsey is here to slap some sense in to him when the occaison calls for it. I hope.

And to think I wasted a lot of emotions pulling for losses after it became apparent we were going nowhere last fall. I think we would be better off if we were drafting a few slots back ...

I told you so...

I feel like this is one of the worst years to have the #1 pick I've ever seen. Chiefs luck. Gotta love it.

You are correct re: QB's playing in the SB ... but, I think the percentage is very small if you take into considerations all the retreads on teams that do not get close to a SB. For Alex see below ...

I have a small glimmer of hope for Alex ... his skill set just may fit into Andy's offense nicely and he could become Elite. But, as a Chiefs fan from their days in Texas ... I'm kinda jaded and this feels like the same ole same ole.

Hard to do but gotta admit you were correct, sir. It's not like if I'd pulled for them they would have won any more games. The point ... I was pulling for hope of advancement and drafting a LT when we already have a good one doesn't bring advancement. But, see below for more on the losing ...

Didn't think of this ... yes, pulling for them to lose at least got rid of a whole lot of problems or to put it another way ... it brought about positive change. I think Dorsey is the real deal and he has a chance to get the job done. Reid was the best rated coach out there. I'd love to have had a talented young coordinator as coach ... i.e. like the ones at Green Bay, S.F. (they've had at least a couple), Balti, New Orleans, Pitts, etc. ... but, not many assistant coaches succeed the first time out.

But, yeah, it probably took losing all those game for Clark to clean house.

Sweet Daddy Hate 04-12-2013 08:52 PM

I believe in Dorsey. Reid, not so much.

I think when draft day arrives, I'll get excited for a brief second and then realize there was nothing to be excited about. Like when you get an inch and you think it's on your balls but turns out, it was just on your inner thigh. :(

Super EXCITED!

You're just super excited because you're balls deep in your Mark Brunell plushie right now, about to send him flying into the ceiling fan.
