For a Defensive Minded coach, and I use this term loosely, why not draft depth on the defensive side of the ball? I know our offense was horrendous last year and we need to spark it but with backups I dont think we'll get it done. If you wanna sign RB and TE's do it after the draft dont waste picks. And now we snagged DeJuan Morgan a safety which isnt a bad pick to compliment others but we still havent addressed our DE or Oline since the first round.

Ugh.

I think the players selected had value where they were picked, though I think that Cottam went too high.

I like the Morgan pick.

But for the Charles and Cottam picks, I would have gone a different direction.

That's the only pick so far that's bugged me. I would've preferred OL with that pick, too.

[ChiefsCountry]

Wesley ass his out of here for sure.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Guys, if Cliff Avril or Zuttah is there in round 4, we have to take them.

We better just have filled safety and TE for 10 years. That's all I'm sayin.'

[ChiefsCountry]

Kiper is loving the Cottam and the Chiefs draft.

[Coach]

Zuttah gone.

replacement for Wesley?

[Basileus777]

Zuttah to Bucks...

[Delano]

Dang. I was hoping Zuttah would drop to the fourth.

[DaKCMan AP]

Kiper loves the Cottam pick.

[chagrin]

this thread is full of ass kissing, repetitive nonsense - if you were sitting around in a circle with this redundancy, you'd be all alone

Yeah, Cottam's not a blocking TE... he just pancaked the living shit out of a LB.
