Same thing happened to Stanzi. Teams that NEEDED QB's took them early. Not only that, but he was passed up for guys he was ranked higher than universally b/c they were several picks. i.e. He doesn't have a hand cannon, but gets great placement on the deep ball. |

Those guys both went a couple of rounds later than anyone thought they would because there just isn't an incredible need for 3-4 NT. So a guy like Chapman that's not going to be exciting for a 4-3 team or even a 1-gap 3-4 team is going to slide because the Chiefs are about the only 2-gap 3-4 team that was stupid enough to go without a NT for 2 years. I think Pioli just completely blew the demand for the NT position and reached on Poe. Kid had better end up a hell of a lot more than just a serviceable NT. We've had our shot at several serviceable NTs in this draft and the last couple.

And if he's not the answer leave it to the ****ing Colts to get lucky again and waltz into the draft next year with one of the better NT prospects in a few years waiting right there for them. Draft an outstanding prospect at the most important position on offense: Check Draft an outstanding prospect at the most important position on defense: Check In two years they have two of "their guys". Realistically if both Luck and their NT pan out, they don't need much of a team around them. Those two guys alone plus the skeleton of a team they have right now will get them 7, 8, or 9 wins- records that we consistently strive for and embrace. I love being a Chiefs fan. |

With a OT, QB and NT set, that's a nice foundation to work with. Then they pick up two stud TE's and grabbed a very nice running back in Vick Ballard in the fifth. Colts had a nice draft. It's funny that some teams just stay competitve all the time and others suck dog nuts all the time... |
