No, the cruel truth is that this was a lackluster draft class. Again, what was your alternative? I laid them all out for you and they were no better than picking Fisher.

Wrong. This draft was rich in OL talent. The stuff that allows those skill players to use their skills.

Shit, that would have been masterful.

Yeah. Maybe. Fact of the matter is, most of the QB needy teams passed on Geno twice.

That's telling.

If he is, then that's the guy you draft, if you believe that Eric Fisher is Branden Albert's equal.

You don't use the #1 overall pick to ****ing stand pat.

The only way that Eric Fisher is a fine pick is if you believe he significantly upgrades the LT position.

If you believe that he doesn't then you simply pissed away the pick.

This is not a commentary on Eric Fisher, or an opinion of his potential.

This is a comment about the sheer ****ing stupidity of your post that I originally responded to.

You're a ****ing idiot.

The Chiefs aren't standing pat. They're getting 7 years younger at LT, potentially bringing in a lineman that more fits the attitude/scheme that Reid wants to run, and in the process might end up getting an extra pick and saving $5-6M which you can invest in somebody else. And with Fisher's upside, it's possible that you improved at the position.

Look, I would agree with you if there was a key skill position player in the top 10. Our choice was to find a younger replacement for Albert, draft a depth pass rusher, draft a QB one round too high, trade down and grab a crappy second rounder, or draft a non-elite CB who's had 5 surgeries. We made an average decision among a bunch of shitty scenarios.

They haven't played a down of football yet, so it's pretty presumptuous to say it is a shitty class. Plus, it's their job to find BAMF, like when teams passed on Russell Wilson. If the GM of the decade was worth his salt he would've noticed his talent and selected him with the 11th overall pick last year.

It's a shitty draft class. We don't have to see a down of football to know this.

I don't understand why Green Bay would be criticized for passing on Russell Wilson.

We haven't played a down of football so we have no idea if we passed/found BAMF. We know from the draft that the guys we thought were BAMF were apparently not viewed that way by scouts.

What? I'm referring to Scooter, and do you have Miss Cleo on speed dial to foresee how the 2013 season will play out ?

The 2013 class is going to be shitty. You don't have to be a fortune teller to see that. This isn't complicated. The correlation between how high you're drafted and how likely you are to succeed is stunningly high. If skill position players aren't getting drafted high, they are far less likely to succeed.

This is a shitty class. I'll repeat that again.

Wish Albert would suck it up and just move to RT.

That would be the very definiton of "bookend tackles".

Instead he's gonna whine like a bitch and get traded or leave next year.

Federal warning, multiple probes follow allegations of Nevada 'patient dumping'

Thought it was worth noting that we haven't had to talk about Fisher once this preseason.

Cue gif.

People should be very thankful that we took Fisher instead of Joeckel. He was directly knocked on his ass at least twice last night. Once by Atkins and there by Johnson.

Fisher whiffed badly on that club move but he's been solid thus far.

Schwartz has not disappointed either


Our run blocking really needs to improve though

Always like to see improvement but thankfully we have JC. He can find those creases and take what most backs would be lucky to get 2 yards on and consistently churn out 4-6. Throughout the course of an entire game he's likely to break at least one long-ish run as well.
