I likened him to Breaston because of his build and style of play. Also, he kind of came from nowhere and is a guy that Haley has stuck his neck out for...like Breston a couple years ago. It sucks that we dont have a real quarterback, Id like to see how good this receiver corps could be with a legit guy throwing them the ball with this running game. |

He was never productive He played in a far worse conference and was never a factor. 4.69 at a Pro day isn't lighting the world on fire. Besides, if you are going to tout something about O'Connell, tout his leaping ability, which of course he has demonstrated numerous times while blocking as the third TE on 3rd and short while the Chiefs run away from his side. Hell, there were a number of TEs who were the same size with much better speed who actually produced in major conferences. The stupidity of drafting Jake O'Connell was a perfect storm of idiocy. 1) You give up multiple picks for a bad player 2) Said player never produced, 3) Said player never played in a major conference 4) Said player doesn't have a great athletic profile. Problems with some of the above four are excusable. All of them aren't. Keeping the guy on the roster for two years is even dumber. I'm sure he makes a mean pot of coffee, though.

Hopefully, Tucker continues to deliver and as I've stated repeatedly, I think Horne may have a place as well. |

The guy got cut by two or three other teams after us because of what is likely the same thing. the learning disability makes sense though, he didnt seem like he was 100% there like a NFL quality player is when I was able to talk to him. Almost Junior Siavii esque I have liked Tucker for some time now, it only has part to do with what Haley has said...what he said seemed to confirm what my eyes told me. You like Will Franklin because he went to Mizzou...if he went to Iowa or Texas, you would slam the pick to this day for all the justifiable reasons. If you cant understand how talking to a player and seeing how he responds to stuff in person as a huge part of the equation of how to judge a players demeanor, you arent as smart as I once thought you are so "get the **** out with that reeruned shit" Im talking about talking to him right after practice and asking him questions about practice that he should have been able to answer and seemed weak minded in the way he answered them...and not just to me either. |

I'm hoping Tucker makes the most of his time and pushes Chambers off the roster.

Bullshit.
Franklin was a physically talented player. He didn't work out. He obviously wasn't 100% dedicated (weight) and he had a learning disability. I don't give a shit that he went to Mizzou. If you knew my posting history, you'd know that I've been a longtime critic of guys like William Moore and Chase Coffman, two of the more prominent recent MU players in the NFL. I was super high on Weatherspoon and Maclin. Why? The latter guys are good, or have the ability to be good. Moore always played like he had shit for brains. Franklin flashed a lot of ability, didn't get as many touches, but was the deep threat on that team. It's a risk worth taking. We had good implied odds. Finally, 25 pounds is not "slightly bigger". 25 pounds is the difference between TO and Jeremy Maclin.

Here's a post about Moore's draft stock falling at the Senior Bowl:

We didnt trade "multiple picks" for him either, we traded a future 7th rounder for him FFS. This has been brought up many times. It was a bad pick, but lets not stretch the facts. He was/is a failed pick (if thats what you chose to call a 7th rounder thats still around for whatever the reason, that I dont even know) but my point is that he was a 7th rounder that you bring up all the time as a guy that symbolizes the failure of our ability to draft while, on the other hand, call Will Franklin a good pick at a very high 4th rounder. He was cut by multiple teams in his second year, right? I didnt even know about his learning disability, but it was evident by talking to him that he wasnt a very smart dude. Quote:
haha I dont even remember Purdum though, that must have been during the couple weeks that I had to put a lot more time in at work. |

Nobody that wasn't a Mizzou fan would have even thought of doing that. Its ok dude, it happens to all of us. I have a thread about taking Ricki Stanzi (who had another clutch game winning pass this weekend) in the late second round, we all have a special place in our hearts for our favorite players from our college team. Just like all the poundings I got this time last year for all my Moeaki Talk (and Pat Angerer) |

Verran Tucker has one catch this year. He's a glorified special teams player.
The Chiefs should look into a trade. The Anquan Boldin deal has been huge for Baltimore.

Fans are still desperate, but at least Tucker is an upgrade from that piece of shit Jeremy Horne. But I'm still going to laugh in their faces if they make him out as anything more than a special teams player, like you said. I agree. We should've looked into acquiring Boldin. |
