The Official "I was wrong/I was right" thread.

[Ralphy Boy]

Man up drafturbators. Post your pre-draft predictions that proved to be wrong here. If you want to be real shitty, if someone won't man up then post a link here.

I'll start.

Wrong:
1) Washington will not pass on Okung for Trent Williams
2) Dan Williams won't get past Miami at 12
3) Clausen won't make it out of the top 10

Right:

1) In the same thread about Washington not passing on Okung, I said Detroit will not pass on Suh for Okung. Frankly that isn't very impressive since everyone but Pawnmower & Saccopoo knew it
2) No way Pioli takes an O-lineman at 5.

More wrong than right:
My mock on 1st Round, how I think it will go (http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?p=6688116&highlight=draft#post6688116); outside of getting 4 out of the top 5 right, I only got picks 21 & 23 right.

I knew there would be trades but I wouldn't have guessed that many.


The one prediction I never made verbally, is: "No way in hell that Tim Tebow goes before Jimmy Clausen. There isnt a team, owner, coaching staff AND personnel department combined that is stupid enough to let that happen."

I would have been wrong about that.

[Rams Fan]

I said Clausen would slip to the 2nd round and no one believed me.

[The Franchise]

I said Clausen would slip to the 2nd round and no one believed me.

Yeah...and you started a thread about it. You're cool....we get it.

[Mecca]

Miami had a horrid round, they took a DE when that's one of their strong positions.

[Rams Fan]

Yeah...and you started a thread about it. You're cool....we get it.



Sorry about that, I'm just a bit optimistic in being right once. I like the Berry pick the Chiefs made, though.

[keg in kc]

I thought St. Louis made a huge mistake taking Bradford instead of Suh, even before it turned out that Clausen was going to be available at 33. That guy's going to be a beast in the NFL. Despite Gunther Cunningham.

[CaliforniaChief]

I'm not sure how much of this I posted, but here's my slate:

WRONG:
1. I thought the Redskins were going to trade with Cleveland to pick up a 2nd rounder and let Cleveland get Berry.

2. I thought the Seahawks would take Spiller.

3. I really thought the Bills would take Clausen.

Right:
1. Suh to the Lions.
2. Berry to the Chiefs.
3. Tebow in the first round.

[Ralphy Boy]

WRONG:

2. I thought the Seahawks would take Spiller.

3. I really thought the Bills would take Clausen.


Yeah I didn't think they would pass on Spiller either. Given how in love with Reggie Bush that Carroll was, I thought they'd jump all over him.

I'm not shocked that Buffalo took Spiller. He's a good pick for them.

I just remembered another wrong. I said Spiller would end up being a top 5 pick.

[DJ's left nut]

WRONG:
1. I thought the Redskins were going to trade with Cleveland to pick up a 2nd rounder and let Cleveland get Berry.
Right:
2. Berry to the Chiefs.


So you were wrong in that you thought Cleveland would take Berry and yet right in that KC would take Berry?

Uh...something doesn't compute here.

[CaliforniaChief]

Sorry, I didn't say that correctly.

I thought that if he was available, they would take Berry. (The Chiefs)

But I believed that the Browns would move up and get him first.

So I was going to be wrong on one of 'em. :D

[Mecca]

I was right that Jerry Hughes had no chance of making it to the Chiefs 2nd round pick, I was wrong in that Pat Robinson went in the first, I thought that had no chance of happening.

[Dave Lane]

I thought Clausen would go 13 to SF but after that I thought it would be a free fall and that Minny was the only one that would jump in. I still think they take him if we let them. I say burn our top 5th rounder and go get him.

[B_Ambuehl]

Wrong: PeeHoli could throw darts at a draft board the entire draft and still have a difficult time screwing this draft up.

[Frosty]

I was wrong when I thought this draft would be significantly better now that Pioli had his own scouts and a competent coaching staff.

[Chiefnj2]

I was right that there would be a run on CBs in the first round. I was wrong that McCoy would fall to the 3rd. I didn't predict it, but there is no way I thought KC would let Clausen get to 48 without taking him.

[Ralphy Boy]

Clay Harbor went in the 4th to the Eagles. So far, the Eagles have taken the linebacker I wanted, the safety I wanted if we passed on Berry and the TE I wanted.

I don't believe Kam Chancellor has been picked yet. If not, I can just see them taking him.

[Ralphy Boy]

Freaking Seattle took Chancellor. They too are having a very good draft.

[Ralphy Boy]

And the Eagles get Ricky Sapp. Wow. Very impressive for them.

[Dr. Van Halen]

I went around promising people that no one would ever draft Tebow in the first round.

[philfree]

I said the best OLB for the 3-4 would be gone by our pick at #36 and they were. Maybe Sheffield will be a gem.


PhilFree:arrow:

[Ebolapox]

I was wrong: I thought pioli would be the gm to take us to the super bowl. well, he could I guess: he makes enough money to buy tickets enough to give to a stadium full of chiefs fans.

[Ming the Merciless]

I was wrong, I thought there was no way the Chiefs would pass on Okung if he fell to 5...

I knew we weren't drafting Clausen though.

The weird thing is I thought we were gonna draft Okung (if he fell to 5) and Thomas...and the Seahawks did that with the next pick...

I had no clue we were gonna draft MCluster or Arenas so I suppose I was wrong there too.

[RustShack]

I was right there was no fucking way we take Okung. I was wrong that we would take McClain or Clausen.. but we did take the third guy on the list of guys we could/should take and thats Berry.
