Late night bullshit: the best player in the 2013 draft.
Not the best player the Chiefs could draft.
The best player. Judging all positions the same. Who is the best player in the 2013 draft? I shot this question to Sorter the other day, and he struggled to answer. It's a tough question to answer this season. Even most of us Geno lovers frequently name other players as the best pure football player in this draft is. I know that's a tough question to negotiate an answer for, since "best" can be interpreted multiple ways. So interpret it however you want. This is a bullshit thread, not a legal document. |

This....maybe Nassib by the time it's said and done.
Sucks that the Chiefs picked the worst year to tank.

My interpretation of best player = who has the best combination of football instincts & acumen, and who manages to succeed despite certain physical limitations that may be present (or, if physically gifted, who doesn't just coast on that physical ability). In other words, who plays the game the best (not necessarily with respect to NFL projectability).
For me, its probably Tavon Austin or Barrett Jones. Kevin Minter is up there too. Geno Smith, yes (partly because he makes up for iffy lower body mechanics with accuracy and intelligence). By my own criteria I have to include Joeckel. |

My only thing with those guys is Austin is tiny (there are exceptions to the rule, Desean Jackson); and Jones had a lisfranc injury if I'm not mistaken, which are a bitch to come back from. If Jones' spine wasn't an issue, I'd say toss-up between him and Jordan. But since it is, I have to go Jordan.

I think Tavon Austin is the best player in the draft.
He's versatile, faster than lightning, and surprisingly durable. |
