Like I said earlier, anyone past the second round is going to be a prospect. There getting picked in the third round for a reason. Most of them wont come in and start righ away,so why try? Why not get a few proven players, instead of one good 2 good players and a bunch players that may pan out,but probably wont.

The fact that the Chiefs suck in the 2nd and 3rd round doesn't mean you should be just giving those picks away.........that's a reason this team is like it is.

I guess I didn't know he was a bust too, damn. Well go for Ginn than Carl/mecca.....

I'm not saying that Webb won't be able to do the job.
I'm saying that I am not ready to simply hand a late round project pick a job without providing competition for the position.

Kid has to earn the spot.

If he doesn't pan out, he can't be considered a bust.

He was a late round project pick with no real expectations, only hope.

Why try?

Because proven players often never play at the same level for their new teams.

Because this team isn't anywhere close to actual contender status.

Take a look at the teams that have won SBs in the past.

They are teams that built through the draft.
They stockpiled picks, and grew their own talent.

They didn't start targeting certain players and positions until they had a solid core group of players to work with and build around.

The Chiefs need to find away to acquire more picks, not throw picks away to target a position.

They just aren't good enough for that.

Targeting a specific player or position and giving up picks for that is a sure way to continued mediocrity and prettender status.
