Chiefs | Team meets with Otah
Thu, 27 Mar 2008 16:40:13 -0700

Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Sun-Times, reports the Kansas City Chiefs met with University of Pittsburgh OT Jeff Otah Monday, March 24.

I think the chiefs hope they can grab him in the second, wich is considerable since we pick early in most rounds.

Why is that?

Because they weren't drafted early?

Niswanger and Taylor COULD turn into Pro Bowlers. Or, they could be duds.

We won't know until we play them.

Agreed. I should have been more specific in my post.

Did you not notice him disappearing in the second half of games this past year?

You weren't before. But at least you are agreeing with me there now. Congrats. If we want to give him all of next year, then I'm sure you also agree we need to put him behind a REASONABLY DECENT O-LINE!!

What if we drafted Eric Young in the 4th, John Sullivan in the 5th, and Chad Rinehart with our other 5th?

We've just rebuilt the entire right side of our line.

That's pushing it when it comes to being realistic.

Less development time for higher rated linemen, short of rare exceptions.

Kinda like Long falling to the Chiefs, or taking Clady at 5?

No.

I'm shooting you down because no one is saying that the rookie with a great year is a fluke, and the subpar years for others are total trash.

They are simply saying that guys like Bowe have to do it for more than one year before you label him a star, and Hali needs to step it up another level, as does Pollard.

As for Croyle, there are those who never believed he would amount to anything, and those that have high hopes for him.

The opportunity he had last year hasn't really changed anyone's stance.

It only sounds "dense" to you because somehow you are taking the total opposite meaning of my post. I can't help you there.

Every single one of those players produced from DAY ONE, with the exception of Rivers. Most QB's don't even play in their 1st year.

I'm sure you are not saying that with the benefit of hindsight!

He'll find a way to translate into: You think the entire team sucks.

He's done it consistently in this thread.

People are using it as validation to draft him. College success does not guarantee NFL success.

He'll be facing the best of the best, week-in and week-out. Not some true sophomore from Eastern Michigan who's a walk on.

Robert Gallery was very impressive in college.

Now that he has a few years under his belt, was he worth the 2nd overall pick?

So, you have a way of guaranteeing a college player's success or lack thereof? Man you could make millions working for any NFL team.

The point: No college player is ever a sure thing. They all come up and have to prove themselves against top competition.

I'm sure I'm not as well.

I'd bet I watched more Chargers games last year ALONE as you have in your life, not counting games against KC.

The bottom line is that from 2000-2005, the Chargers drafted exceptionally well, and continue to do so.

During that same time frame, KC might have conducted the worst drafts in the league.

That is why they have young talent up and down their roster, while our cupboard is nearly empty.

You repeatedly miss my point and then call me dense. My point is OUR D-LINE, while far from perfect, IS IN WAY BETTER SHAPE THAN OUR O-LINE!!
