We'd play poker with the draft on, and make a point to stop when one of our teams was picking.

Last year, when TJ was taken, a buddy of mine decided the game would be ending quickly, and flipped over the poker table, sending a couple hundred dollars worth of chips to the floor.

He's the only one coming over this year, and he's not getting his hands on the remote.

Sure enough, he was the guy with me that sat in silence.

I have that same hat. I wish I had that mullet, that thing is impressive!

Ah, mullet envy! Actually the hair is that long all the way around. But, my wife did just lose a bet that will allow me to give our 3 year old son the 2010 version of "The Boz" haircut. I am scouring the internet for some "Land of Boz" posters for that momentous day!

my reaction was pretty much exactly the same. When the Chiefs went on the clock I remember saying, "well...the only sure thing is that we won't be drafting a RB." Pick is announced, all I can remember thinking was "what?" Not good, not bad, just..."what?"

I was happy right off the bat with Dexter. One of the commentators on NFL Network had brought him up a month before the draft stating how he could be a dynamic player for the right team. I had him in my sights as well as Arenas.

I was quite annoyed. mainly, for two reasons...

1) I REALLY wanted clausen. I have the feeling we'll live to regret that decision.

2) he was listed at RB. I went ballistic (MOTHER**** YOU, PIOLI! thread) because Rb wasn't worth wasting a pick early in round 2.

now, it's a success under the following three conditions...

1) he's a dynamic playmaker
2) jimmy clausen doesn't live up to the predraft hype
3) matt cassel improves to above average.

numbers 2 and 3 are essentially because you don't pass on the chance to draft a possible franchise qb. now, we should know better than any other team if jimmy clausen is a possible franchise qb (our offensive coordinator recruited/coached him, natch). however, if cassel is nothing more than merely turd sammich, and clausen goes on to be good, regardless of how good mccluster is, we done ****ed up. and I can say this with perfect hindsight, as a qb connoisseur: I've wanted, in teh past... joey harrington, byron leftwich, david klingler, sanchez, stafford, ****... even cade mcnown.

Yeah. I assume in this case the "W" stands for "who".

The reaction to McCluster is almost identical to the reaction to Matt Cassel.

Had you said before the draft that we were taking McCluster with the 36th pick, people would have gone apeshit.

When the possibility of Matt Cassel coming here was first discussed in January of 2009 - maybe earlier - people almost universally said things like, "**** no," "he'll never be a franchise QB," and "pass."

We trade for him, and people start justifying it and changing their opinions based on the compensation alone. Like spending a 2nd round pick instead of a 1st is going to make him a better QB all of a sudden.

People did the same with McCluster. From "apeshit" to "the black Wes Welker" in a matter of minutes.

Uh...no. Cassel had just led his team to 10 wins. ALL of the TV pundits said this was a good move at the time. You are playing revisionist history.

actually, not so much. I remember very vividly that the vast majority ON THIS SITE (which is all I can vouch for) balked at giving up the third overall pick for cassel (which was what it was rumored to take). lemme see if I can dig up some links

While the TV pundits said that, the vast majority here wanted nothing to do with Cassel. There is a thread on it if you want to revisit it.
