Draft Reality Check
 

I'm thrilled with this year's draft as many of you are. However...

Reality check:

KC allowed 55 sacks last year (T-last)
KC rushed for 78 YPG last year (last).

I'm all excited about the DT, CBs, WR, RB, etc... but this was supposed to be the draft that addressed the OL.

Right now we are looking at just 4 starters: Albert, Waters, MacIntosh and Niswanger. No telling who will play what and there ain't crap there for depth.

Remember, Gailey will run a lot of 2-TE sets with downhill rushing plays. I'm not seeing the kind of top tier OL that can get that done here.

Jesus Christ....

I knew I should have stayed away from this place today.

8-8 NOW!!!!!

:banghead:

That's okay.

You thought Donnell Bennett was a hell of RB, so clearly, your vision isn't all that good.

How many posts are you going to make whining about the draft?

Seriously, just tell me a number so I know when to stop ignoring you.

We aren't going to fix this team in a year. Reaching for needs is how we got in this mess to begin with.

Build. For. The. Future.

FFS.

:shrug: I guess we're starting Wade Smith at center and Niswanger at guard. I was hoping we'd pick up another guard or center, but we had to have that blocking TE in the third.

this was not supposed be anything other than a chance to draft the best talent available....

we had a great draft precisely because we ignored the true fans plea to "fix the OL"....

Herm said explicitly that they draft for value, not need...the smartest thing a KC coach has said in years....

Psh, this team needs TALENT everywhere, no need to worry about any needs. These next couple drafts are about stocking this team nothing else. You do that by getting the best players.

Herm understands, like most of us, that this is a 2-3 yr process...there are no shortcuts...

I take the fact that he doesn't like it as the surest sign of all that it's a good draft.

ROFL

Wait till Frankie bitches that will make it a lock.
