Even despite the fact the Chiefs have Tamba Hali..........

would you be upset if they drafted Chris Long?

If he's available that is?

I knew they had their own draftees on the lines, but I didn't realize they had that many, Mr. ChiefsCountry. Thanks for the information. A guy can learn a lot on ChiefsPlanet.

I consider the bolded statement to be highly significant. It again illuminates our failure at the draft over the past 2 decades. I can't bring myself to hate Carl Peterson to the extent some others do, but his draft history is utterly abysmal, essentially unforgivable, and ultimately confounding. I frankly don't understand how anyone with that amount of time in this league can be so completely inept at such a crucial aspect of franchise management. It's inconceivable.

It also underscores the fact that good organizations recognize you must build a team beginning with the trenches. Yet, the Chiefs have a very highly paid RB with nowhere to run.
