He said, “The way we draft is what do we need and who on the board at the time we pick fits a need the best. For example, Calvin Johnson was the best player in the draft on our board last year but had we been Detroit we wouldn’t have taken him. With the huge needs at offensive tackle and middle backer, we would have taken Joe Thomas or Patrick Willis. Both had Pro Bowl seasons. Now some pundits would have said those guys would have been too high of picks for the money (and we would have tried trading down) but would the Lions have been better off with either those two than Calvin? I sure think so. We draft (and have been successful) at picking guys that meet needs with priority given to lineman if we have a need there. I based my list on who best fits needs.”

Why do the drafturbators act like insecure women? They are all catty and defensive all the time.

I think they scouted them they just don't see them as top 20 prspects.

Imagine an NFL scout saying that Curry can play all the LB possition in a 4-3 or a 3-4 defense. I know, I know people on the chiefs planet who live in there parents basements know better.

I don't doubt that they'll say it. But it's not their money that the Chiefs would be gambling with, now is it?

How many of the people that are against drafting Curry have said ANYTHING definitive about him? The answer is nobody. He COULD play any of the LB positions. And he COULD cure AIDS tomorrow. Without any historical evidence to support it, other than his workouts, it's not a gamble some of us are willing to take.

That doesn't say anything about what we think he can or can't do in the future. It's about getting value out of the #3 overall pick.

But FOUR unnamed scouts out of hundreds said it.

That MUST carry some weight, right?

Thanks Chiefnj, that's the kind of stuff I come to Chiefs Planet for. Makes me wonder if we're are misjudging Orakpo because he plays at Texas. Although it was mentioned I think he just moved up my draft board so to speak.

Same here. MY concern with Orakpo is injury. He seems to always have some little nicks etc as is the case useually with the "gym rats". I Dont get that he's a Gholston though.

Nobody knows what Gholston is in the first place. He was grossly misused last year, much like Glenn Dorsey was.
