Adibi or Nicks or Collins seem to be much better fits.

I don't think Collins projects very well to the NFL, he may be a guard.

And Carl Peterson makes his first appearance of the draft

DT58HOF · 04-27-2008, 10:09 AM

Will Franklin, what a homer pick with all the other players still available

siberian khatru · 04-27-2008, 10:09 AM

When this is all over, the first question I'd ask the Chiefs braintrust is what they didn't like about the mid-round OLs.

Croyle isn't going to be throwing to anyone from flat on his back because our O-l still has holes.

**RealSNR** · 04-27-2008, 10:09 AM

It only makes sense I guess. Samie Parker's gone, we need another fast short stone-handed receiver

Tits McGee · 04-27-2008, 10:10 AM

He has a track record of kicking ass at Arrowhead.

Yeah, not sure why people keep calling it a reach. NFLDC has him as the 16th WR and everyone in front of him and a few under him are gone.

Mecca · 04-27-2008, 10:10 AM

If Franklin can be a productive slot guy it's not that bad of a pick, I liked Adibi more but it isn't a huge reach.

KevB · 04-27-2008, 10:10 AM

Franklin's 6'0, 215 and ran a 4.37. He's made plays and ran a number of different routes in college. I'm not going to criticize this pick, because WR is about as thin as any other position on this team. He was one of, if not the best, WR left on the board.

Anyone think Carl said to Herm: "You can have day one, but I want day two selections." Today screams of a Carl led draft.
