I'm pissed about not drafting Moncrief as much as you. And I'm probably the biggest hater of the De'Anthony Thomas pick of anybody on this board. But I can at least recognize the value and thought process behind Dee Ford, Aaron Murray, and the two fatties we drafted. You're off your rocker about every pick just because he wasn't the guy you wanted.

The fatties we took are no different than the fatties on our roster. Probably worse. Rokevious Watkins was a first team All-SEC level player. Fatty pick #1 didn't even make Honorable Mention in the same conference.
Fatty pick #2 at least has some mystery and excitement about it.
Murray is a complete piss away of a pick. He's the same guy as Daniel. What the hell do we need a fourth QB for at this point? Total waste of a pick.
I'm okay with Ford. However, it's a luxury pick and he's got a whole lot to prove in terms of doing anything other than rushing the passer to make the pick worth it. Just because Dee Ford says he's the best pass rusher in the draft doesn't make it so.
And I liked Jackson over Filo anyway, though I understand that Filo gives you a bit more flexibility scheme wise and was probably the best guard prospect in this draft from a total skills standpoint.
Best guard prospect versus the third/fourth/fifth best pass rusher, when the Chiefs had a serious hole at the OG spot versus Houston and Hali under contract? I'd be inclined to take the guard with the #23 pick at that point.
And I'd be penciling Reilly in at ILB instead of Mays and dropping him in as pass rusher situationally. Guy had 9 sacks last year, to go along with 100 tackles, 16.5 tfl and an interception. By comparison, Ford had 10.5 sacks, 29 tackles and 14.5 tfl. That's a one trick pony. I mean, seriously...29 total tackles? That sucks. He's got a long way to go to be effective at the next level other than a situational pass rusher.
