Conley was okay at 3 but there were guys available who had nearly the same measurables with substantially more production. Nobody knew who Conley was until his numbers at the Combine. Guy was a pedestrian receiver in college, despite his prodigious physical gifts. And we lost a pick moving up for him, which doesn't help the draft grade.
Nelson is a returner and nickle CB. How many more guys like that do we need on the roster?
Wilson is an inside/outside guy that doesn't make any impact plays and all of his tackles are past the line of scrimmage that he's joining in on. He was the one ILB prospect that I hoped we didn't draft.
Alexander, like a lot of Dorsey picks to date, is a walking wounded. He's had multiple injuries over his college career and, despite Dorsey's seemingly reliance on measurables, doesn't measure very well.
Plus three small school dudes who don't have any elite traits.
It was a shitty draft.
Free agency was ridiculously bad considering what holes the roster had and who we picked up. A bunch of try hards from Outer South Eastern Mongolian Community College.

See, everything about this post goes back to the arrogance I was speaking of. This is just a classic example of how YOU are a better scout than the pros. No, they are not always right. You may end up more right. But this goes back to you having your own firm conclusions of who is good and who is not... and it contrasts with the KC decision-makers.
At least consider the possibility that they have far more resources and knowledge of these prospects than you do. I get it... believe me. I would do the same thing as you in older times. I get so fixated for months about these prospects that I convince myself of who we should have selected.
Now, it's probably time to just concede that just maybe... we.. the arm-chair, draft enthusiasts love the process... but the actual results wreck our little fantasy land of thinking we know much.
