Chiefs 2013 Draft in Review - Page 2

**FRCDFED** · 01-29-2014, 04:00 PM

I know there were a lot of mixed opinions on here regarding taking Fisher at 1.1 last year. Some loved the pick and some wanted Geno Smith.

I ask each of you to analyze what we accomplished this season and look back at ALL the 1st round picks. Knowing what we know now: Fisher didn't make a huge impact (same for other rookies); our defense folded like a cheap tent down the stretch after starting off strong...........

Obviously all of our OT's played at some point during the season but which player drafted in the 1st round of the 2013 draft would've arguably made a bigger IMPACT?

1 1 Kansas City Chiefs Eric Fisher OT Central Michigan
1 2 Jacksonville Jaguars Luke Joeckel OT Texas A&M
1 3 Miami Dolphins Dion Jordan DE Oregon
1 4 Philadelphia Eagles Lane Johnson OT Oklahoma
1 5 Detroit Lions Ezekiel Ansah DE BYU
1 6 Cleveland Browns Barkevious Mingo DE LSU
1 7 Arizona Cardinals Jonathan Cooper G North Carolina
1 8 St. Louis Rams Tavon Austin WR West Virginia
1 9 New York Jets Dee Milliner CB Alabama
1 10 Tennessee Titans Chance Warmack G Alabama
1 11 San Diego Chargers D. J. Fluker OT Alabama
1 12 Oakland Raiders D. J. Hayden CB Houston
1 13 New York Jets Sheldon Richardson DT Missouri
1 14 Carolina Panthers Star Lotulelei DT Utah
1 15 New Orleans Saints Kenny Vaccaro S Texas
1 16 Buffalo Bills E. J. Manuel QB Florida State
1 17 Pittsburgh Steelers Jarvis Jones LB Georgia
1 18 San Francisco 49ers Eric Reid S LSU
1 19 New York Giants Justin Pugh G Syracuse
1 20 Chicago Bears Kyle Long G Oregon
1 21 Cincinnati Bengals Tyler Eifert TE Notre Dame
1 22 Atlanta Falcons Desmond Trufant CB Washington
1 23 Minnesota Vikings Sharrif Floyd DT Florida
1 24 Indianapolis Colts Björn Werner DE Florida State
1 25 Minnesota Vikings Xavier Rhodes CB Florida State
1 26 Green Bay Packers Datone Jones DE UCLA
1 27 Houston Texans DeAndre Hopkins WR Clemson
1 28 Denver Broncos Sylvester Williams DT North Carolina
1 29 Minnesota Vikings Cordarrelle Patterson WR Tennessee
1 30 St. Louis Rams Alec Ogletree LB Georgia
1 31 Dallas Cowboys Travis Frederick C Wisconsin
1 32 Baltimore Ravens Matt Elam S Florida

My vote would have been for Vaccaro, Elam, or Reid.

Once again.....different offense....different QB.

Ogletree looks like the real deal, he had a great rookie year.

Idk, with the new CBA, should teams really care so much about which positions to draft high anymore (outside of the obvious K/P)?

Take this hypothetical situation: Say you have the #1 overall pick and you know who out of the entire draft class is going to become a perennial All-pro at a given position, lets say Safety to keep it more relevant, but you need a LT and you have a time machine so you know that the best LT available in the draft will only end up being a solid but unspectacular LT for the rest of his career (he'll make a few pro-bowls and maybe one All-pro). Would you take that All-Pro and "less important" safety or settle for the "more important" LT player?

After what happened to the secondary/defense against the Colts, I would take Eric Reid/Lotulelei/Richardson in a heartbeat. We would have been fine rolling with Donald and Albert on the OL.
