ChiefsPlanet - NFL Draft ****Official NFL 2012 Draft Thread****

Do you think taking Vontaze Burfict in the 5th would be a good choice? Yes he has off the field problems and failed drug test (like Houston) however as a 5th round pick, I think it is worth the gamble. I doubt he makes it to the 7th round and would be surprised if he makes it to the 6th honestly. He has to much potential to pass up and contracts can be written to protect the chiefs organization if he pulls the same off field shit as he did in college. We took a gamble with Houston and it paid off, might be the same with Burfict and if the gamble works, talk about an amazing LB core!

Ben Roethlisberger?

Since 2007, Devon Wylie has touched the ball only 58 times. It resulted in almost 1,000 yards, 7 td's, and a lot of excitement. Wylie missed the 2010 season due to a surgically repaired navicular fracture in his left foot. In 2011, he will return to the field potentially faster than the 4.25 forty that he ran in 2009

Nice pick by Cleveland in James-Michael Johnson. He would have fit here.

Yep. One plays RB, the other WR. We just added more speed. I don't know why this picks means they need to get rid of Dex.

Because he is a shitty RB who now has no other value to the team.

A 5' nothing WR is not a legitimate deep threat with Matt Cassel as his QB.

I woke up in a good mood today because it occurred to me that this draft has RAC's fingerprints all over it, which leads me to believe that Pioli might be deferring to him more. Romeo had no problem yanking Charlie Frye after he sucked in the first game and putting DA in in Cleveland. It gives me hope that the best QB on the roster might actually play most of the season (I realize that better than bad doesn't equal good).

I may be totally off base here but I'm rolling with until proven otherwise. :D

Agree, No.

Burfict's issues go much deeper than just some smoking.

His issues are mostly football (on-field & practice) related. Complete opposite to players who have off-field issues.
