The Chiefs wouldn't have been any worse off by keeping Connor Barth and using that pick elsewhere.

ROFL...only you could find something to complain about with the very last pick of the draft. Especially when that pick becomes only the 4th one in NFL history to ever start a game when picked at that point.

Just remember, on this very site people wanted to use late picks on Wesley Woodyard, Dannell Ellerbee and Brandon Siler, if those had happened those 7th round and UDFA players would have made our MLB's significantly better than they are today.

Late picks do matter.

Add to the fact that 7th round picks are helpful in trade up scenarios.

I won't deny that, but the fact still stands that he's a contributing player whose success percentage was 12 percent higher than the guy we had before. You can play hypotheticals about "we could have had X" all day, but the fact of the matter is, there's no guarantee that we would have taken any of those guys (and probably wouldn't have). We got a contributor out of the pick - that's all you can really ask.

Amen. I see 3 7th rounders a 6 5 and a 4th. Seriously all of them are a long shot to make any big impact. It's at least 20-1 shot. Now McGee and Jackson should have been way better especially Jackson.

Teams that always miss in those rounds are teams that aren't that good, you need to hit on some late picks.

Hence 4-12, 2-14, 4-12

Mecca 09-05-2010 05:35 PM

Find me a consistently good team that doesn't have late round contributing players.

Bath was a horrible kicker at Arrowhead.

Agree but I'll bet if you looked at rounds 4-7 for the Patriots in the last ten years it's bust city. A good year is when you hit on two of the 6 picks the Chiefs had. Most is one or none.

DaneMcCloud 09-05-2010 05:43 PM

Toribio doesn't have any stats at NFL.com.

But he has the leadership of a youth pastor. Thats good enough.

The Pats drafts from the last 5 years in general are bust city, it's why their team is fading.

In their good years they got guys like Asante Samuel in the 4th round.

Titty Meat 09-05-2010 05:44 PM

I think you guys are too hard on the Pats drafts. Atleast the last few have been somewhat impressive from the games i've seen.
