Chiefs Draft Thoughts

Chiefs=Champions · 04-23-2010, 11:26 PM

It was the start of the draft and i was nervous as hell. Okung fell into our laps and i was sure we were gonna take him FML. Then the clouds parted as Berry was shown talking on the phone. I have never been as happy and excited about a draft pick, I was jumping around the room thinking not only did we draft a fantastic player, but maybe, just maybe Pioli actually knew what he was doing..

Boy was i wrong..

To be honest im probably not as pissed of with the draft as some, but im still left scratching my head over a few of the day 2 moves.

IMO we had the chance for the best draft in chiefs history and yet we came away with maybe a solid C+ at best..

Clausen, a guy that you reportedly were considering at 5 drops into ur lap in the ****ing 2nd round and you pass. Not only is he damn talented, showing all the traits of a franchise qb but he also played in the EXACT same offense that our new OC runs.. Seriously how that isnt a no brainer stuns me..

I do think McCluster may prove some wrong and basically act as a poor mans spiller, but the Arenas pick seriously pisses me off, especially after just taking McCluster.

Why Pioli thought that hes a better pick then some of the other players on the board i will never know.

Picking up Asamoah was a reasonable pick, as i think hes perfectly suited to our finesse scheme, but to pick Moeaki and not only that but trade up for him?

that is just plain idiotic. Seriously what made them think they had to trade up for a guy that most probably had rated as the the forth best TE left on the board? Not only was it a reach, but this is a guy whos been plagued by the injury bug his entire career...

In conclusion Pioli better hope these guys produce immediately or hes going to lose the last thread of faith i have in this team..

We also better have a ****ing dominant return game....

I say we trade up and draft another safety, as long as he is a nice guy that's all that matters.

As the shock abates and analytical thinking replaces choleric, boundless rage, I'm warming up to our draft.

Though the size of a penny, McCluster (sp?) has roadrunner speed. If Weis can figure out how to get him the ball in space, fireworks should result. Arenas has potential to help us in the nickle and appears to know how to castrate quarterbacks on the blitz. The TE guy is a puzzle, to be sure. With an injury history like his, you just hope and pray he can stay healthy ... that's an issue for the training staff as much as anything, probably.

After Berry, we picked up sleepers. Guys who are assumably dependable role players and we needed some of those. Not an exciting draft, but perhaps a better one than I originally thought. Besides, if I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times; "There's always next year."

Occasional choleric, boundless rage is good for a man's digestive system. If you don't have some now and again your intestines will get all tangled up. Chiefs fans are known for their healthy intestines. Mine are already looking forward to next year's draft.

some more thoughts on the draft:

mcaj22 · 04-24-2010, 10:53 AM

I really like that Asamoah pick the most besides the Berry pick. He seems like a pissed off player that will work hard. With that said if he comes in a competes at a high level than expected, and they have to justify starting him... do we see a guy like Brian Waters being traded/cut like this years Benard Pollard? I mean, I do think we might see some surprises in terms of the chopping block this year...rightfully so.

big nasty kcnut · 04-24-2010, 10:57 AM

I think we had a hell of a good draft we got some needs players. Also we we had one reach pick which was the te one but the other were good. Now get a big name still there and we be good.

mcaj22 · 04-24-2010, 10:58 AM

What I got out of the draft today is by the Chiefs taking 19 defensive backs, that must mean that

A) Donald Washington was a wasted pick last season

and

B) Dajuan Morgan sucks.

On a positive note - seriously - that might be a sign that Pioli is willing to recognize his mistakes, cut bait and move on.

I'll root for that.

we shall see.......there is still the Cassel thing in question. He chose not to create a controversy with 2 multiple chances to pick Clausen. Either Clausen isnt that good or Clausen is..........Pioli wasn't going to risk that so he could admit to another mistake.
I hope I am dead wrong about Cassel.
