As Petro always says: Reach, and steal are words that draftniks use when things don't fall the way they thought they would or should. In reality, things fall exactly the way they should. Players go where they should have gone, and where they were always gonna go, based on the 32 teams and their rankings.

If I'm Hali, DJ, Flowers, Bowe, Charles or any other vet I am pissed KC basically played the entire offseason for the future and not now.

If they're really pissed about the Chiefs planning for the future they could rework their contracts to help get more players for now.

Others would be teams "reaching for a qb" such as in 2011 when Locker, Gabbert, and Ponder were selected in the first round despite major flaws or limited college experience. |

I know the cap can be "massaged" but at some point you can't keep turning salary into bonuses and pushing the cap hit for that money down the road. You going to have to pay the piper at some point. We have Alex Smith, Justin Houston, and Eric Berry that are about to get large contracts as well. I just don't see where in FA we could have done much that wouldn't have hurt us in the next couple of years with the cap. The exception being a stop gap one/two year player that might still be available or come available in the coming months. In the draft what position would have been a better choice other than pass rusher, other than S Jimmie Ward with our first pick? I think he was the only quality player for that position, a position of need, left when we were on the clock. I also think that is the other position that could have had an immediate impact on this next season. WR sure would have been nice for the offense. The WR position normally doesn't produce at a high level in the first year for sure and maybe on the 2cd year. A WR in the draft would not have helped those guys this year or maybe even next year. Evidently they are not worried about the OL. I think most of us are uneasy about it and understandably so IMO. I still don't think they would have taken a RG with our first overall in this draft. They sure know more than we do, whether most want to admit it or not. At least a couple of those 4 won't even be on the roster after this upcoming season anyway.

The primary flaw in your logic is that you are attempting to realistically assess and extrapolate upon a speculative discourse. As such, your response is, by the very nature of attempting to apply cognitive reasoning to a literary hypothetical, what I would term a logical fallacy. If wishes were horses... |

I'm pretty sure that my response was quite concise. As far as it's sentence structure, I'd be more than willing to see what you would have come up with as a response. I'm always open to enlightenment from a master such as yourself. Teach me, oh literary guru.

I think the combination of Ford/Gaines is better than if they went Dennard/????.
