Berry was a 'smart' pick; took the consensus guy.
McCluster is a useless POS that should never EVER have been drafted where he was. There is no greater example of getting 'cute' and ****ing your franchise.
Arenas is a nickle-corner and punt returner; a 4th round value we took in the 2nd - that's called getting too cute. Conventional wisdom has them taking Terrance Cody there - you really want to beat your chest over this pick?
Moeaki, well what do ya know? The injury prone guy is injured. And Hernandez (who went after him) was universally considered a higher value pick. Ultimately, I'd rather have Hernandez and by a fair margin. Hell, Jimmy Graham was considered a 2nd or 3rd rounder and we passed on him for Moeaki. Most folks had him around the 3rd best TE w/ Moeaki barely slipping inside the top 10. Uh...oops.
Asomoah was another 'value' pick; they just played the board and took a guy with a late 1st, early 2nd value in the 3rd round. A calm, rational pick.
Lewis is an okay safety they got in the late rounds. He was a decent scouting pick and about the only time I can remember the Chiefs leaving the board and not getting burned for it.
Once again, every time these guys try to prove how smart they are, they end up doing something amazingly stupid. If we'd have just 'played the board' we'd have Butler instead of McCluster, Cody instead of Arenas and Graham/Hernandez instead of Moeaki. Oh yeah, and we'd still have Asomoah and Berry.
