That's what I'll say to people who get on here and go "Dline, Dline, Dline", if that Dlineman is the 35th rated player while the 15th ranked corner is there picking a Dlineman isn't a good idea.
As far as Sims goes, no it wasn't a "reach" and yes it was really stupid to trade up. Numerous people had those DT's all rated differently. Personally I wanted John Henderson, now hindsight is 20/20 on that but I thought he was a much safer pick he'd produced his entire college career. I just think the Chiefs and namely Vermiel bought way to much into what Bunting was telling them. If your picking top 10 the guy you pick should start right away because if you suck bad enough to pick top 10 most anyone going top 10 is going to be good enough to start.

Hindsight is 20-20, but it was not stupid for KC to trade up to grab Sims. He was the #1 guy on their board and they went and got him. The Vikings were going to take him if KC didn't move up.

Q: Herm, back on December 25th you were asked if Trent Green was your starter going into next season and you said, ‘yeah, why wouldn’t he be?’ Have you changed your mind on that?
EDWARDS: No, I have not.”
