Despite Don and Sancho's blusterings, I'm okay with the linemen we have on this team. And I think that they will be a lot better playing with a real QB. I've already said that I think this could be one of the upper echelon offensive lines in the NFL with a quarterback with a remote degree of pocket presence, which neither Cassel nor Quinn exhibit at this point.

The problem lies in the fact that Albert and Asamoah were the first two guys we've drafted on the offensive line that high in the draft in a long time and no one wants to spend high round picks on more linemen at this point. And I agree. (Although I would have loved Alex Mack in 2009 and Zane Beadles in 2010 to go along with Rod Hudson in 2011.)

In fact, my current mock on the Draft Planet doesn't have a single offensive lineman on it.

I'm pretty okay with the guys we have and with a quality QB, a lot of the current sins get washed away.

They could have drafted Okung in the first, TJ Ward in the second, moved Albert inside to guard and upgraded three positions substantially better than what they currently have.

Then they could have used that third that they used on Asamoah on Andre Roberts, who currently has five TD's and 540 yards at the halfway point.

But I'm sure you and Pioli have reach arounds about that kick ass 2010 draft.

Listening to it today, Jaycie Pearson said he talks with someone in the know and they told him Pioli's the only real talent evaluator and the rest of his guys are just number crunchers. Thus the Poe pick.

Name one QB the Chiefs have ever drafted and been successful with? Name just one? The Chiefs have always taken veteran quarterbacks and struggled along. The last veteran QB the Chiefs have had that took them to the AFC championships was Joe Montana. The only head coach since Hank Stram to take the Chiefs to a string of playoffs is Marty Schottenheimer. Anybody who thinks the Chiefs are going to draft a young QB and be successful should know that history is against them.

We can't forget that factor.

An even bigger factor than that is how god damn fast Manning is at dropping back and getting the ball out. Many people were calling Clady a bust (other than his BS rookie year) and was a below average LT until fivehead rolled into town.

Yeah, it's really nice that a small group of us said this very same thing in 2009, but were summarily dismissed.
