Ok?

And Dexter was sure handed and pretty freaking good for us in 2013 IMHO

Solid 2nd round pick. He just was.

BUT AT LEAST WE DIDN'T TAKE GENO SMITH #1 OVERALL, SNR AND CLAY, DRAFT GURUS!!!

Try reading the thread. I've said this thousands of times last year and this offseason that Dexter was beneficial to the offense when Andy Reid figured out that he's NOT a gadget player, nor is he exceptionally fast, and CERTAINLY not that elusive.

He got used as a possession slot guy who was perhaps our best route runner on the team. If he had been used that way all along, I would sing a different tune on McCluster's time in KC.

But he wasn't. And he's not with the Titans.

And when we just discovered a talent like Jamaal Charles who does the things with speed and quickness and elusive vision that he did in 2009, it was stupid and irresponsible of Pioli/Haley to draft McCluster to take those plays and touches away from Charles.

Again, if we drafted McCluster and just said, "Slot receiver and return guy" and ****ing used him that way, I wouldn't have a problem. And I think he would have been helpful to the offense.

Before Andy Reid got here, he wasn't. He was a hindrance.

Want me to say it one more time, jackass?

Meh

I would be pleased if Dorsey hit on about half of his 2nd rd picks and roughly 65% effective overall in the first 3 rounds.

So far he appears to be on track for round 3 though.

Dexter would have been a solid 5th round pick. 2nd round for him was and will always be overdrafting on a biblical scale.

RunKC 11-01-2014 02:56 PM

DAT is a better player than DMC and he was a 4th round pick. DMC was a solid player on ST's but if I'm drafting a player in the top 40 I want a guy who is a fast, strong unique difference making caliber player on offense or defense.

Mr. Laz 11-01-2014 02:58 PM

wasn't Tennessee trying to use McCluster has a RB/Gadget guy instead of a WR/Gadget?

same stupid shit Haley tried

He doesn't have the ability to making people miss with the ball. You have to use his quickness to get to a spot and then throw him the ball behind the defenders.

So we have a homer, the ultimate Chiefs hater and a mellow middleground guy like keg in kc all shitting on the McCluster pick.

RECANT, HOOTIE.

No, because people clearly don't understand the value of certain draft picks.

Dexter in the 4th would have been a tremendously great pick. An awesome 4th round pick.

He was a slightly above average 2nd round pick. Albeit, again, forgettable.

Someday people are going to realize on this site that 2nd round picks are merely a coin flip, at best. Brandon Flowers' are about 1 in 10.

By "people" you clearly mean "I, Hootie".

TJ Ward
Gronk
Jason Worilds
Sean Lee
Golden Tate

All better than DMC. Golden Tate is a bigger, stronger better version of DMC. Not sure why he wasn't the pick. Remember him being very well liked pre-draft by analysts.

No shit those guys are better. You can play that game every single year for every single team

Simply Red 11-01-2014 03:07 PM

I think he's sort of mediocre - hell of a good NCAA player though - nobody can argue that much.

Pioli was enamored with Dex's boy scout image and team captain resume.

That's why I like Dorsey and his philosophy. He would never draft such a small guy like this.
Dorsey clearly likes the fast, strong playmaking players and DMC wasn't all that.

Hell we saw it in the playoff game. This ****er couldn't do anything running the ball and it killed us.
