Yeah, because evening out a good year injury-wise is to have season-ending injuries to two if not three of the top five (top three?) players on the team. Oh, and to have them VERY early in the season.




The top of the draft that year has been pretty damn mediocre overall. You can argue for Sanchez, of course, but I'm not sure how many pro bowls the entire top of that draft has been to. It wasn't only the Chiefs struggling to make a good choice high in that draft.

Raji's been the only real stud out of teh top 10. So far, Sanchez isn't in that category yet due to pedestrian numbers in the regular season, and Stafford can't stay on the field enough. We'll see where those two go, of course...

Just sayin'.

Why? It's obvious ALOT of teams failed to do a good job of judging the talent there. You can't just look at the two or three good picks that were made later in the round and think that your GM clearly sucks. Clearly, as to 2009, MOST GMs sucked, under that theory.
