if we won more games we couldnt have drafted Sanchez

Everybody wants an "impact high level" player in this draft. No 1st round pick from Herm's time fits that.

Tank and Turk were the suck. Yes, yes they were and are. Pollard is average to less than average. Let's call him average with a shit attitude.There is a reason the Texan's gave him another 1 year contract. It's not because he is awesome.

Croyle is very talented? At what? Throwing hard and and rehabbing?

DJ is a huge disappointment. And it's not this coaching staffs fault he cant put together a ****ing complete mistake free game in 4 years. He started for 3 straight years and never lived up to the hype.

I don't see Herm being a draft genius.

DJ has nothing to do with Herm, that was a Vermiel pick. Turk sucked, I never disputed that. Tank doesn't. He's not a superstar, but he is a rotation-level player. There's value in that.

You're creating a false dichotomy with Herm much like you've done with Tyler.

It's not 'genius' or 'dunce' - there's a lot of room in between. Herm's draft, when compared to his peers (or Scott Pioli, for that matter), fall decidedly in the middle.

Though ultimately your argument that Pollard had a 'shit' attitude colors your entire argument. There was no indication, absolutely none at all, that Pollard was ever a bad guy in the lockerroom or on the field. He was a football rat that loved to hit guys. He had a coach that told him to go out there and decapitate guys.

Then he got frustrated in Mini-camp and the Chiefs used that as their excuse to cut him.

1 incident when he got pissed at a coordinator because he was frustrated while learning a completely new coverage package means he has a 'shit attitude'?

Just because that's what Scotty and his boys told you, that doesn't make it so. Pollard had a great attitude during his time in KC.

Look we have a lot of holes.

If I give another player 30 mil and he's invisible, the heat will really go up. Time to play it safe, maybe we can stop the run this year with McClain and a fatass to be named later.

Or he'd say, look I staked my rep on Cassel, if he fails I'm ****ed I need lots of picks to help him so I don't look like a dumb ****.

Look Pollard sucked ass before he got cut. Bottom line. I said average with a bad attitude. Like I said if he tore it up for the Texans why did they offer him a 1 year contract? Because they have their doubts as well.

And yes DJ was a Vermiel pick. Hali was a Herm pick and I like Hali but he isn't yet an impact player. I will say he shows potential but he cant carry a defense or probably never will so, not an "impact" 1st rounder.

I think Herm was marginally better than Vermiel overall so it looks better.

I do think we need to see something this year out of Pioli.

I don't see Herm being a draft genius.

Two playmakers in Charles and Flowers (and yes, Flowers is a playmaker). A solid starter so far in Brandon Carr. Two players who played well in the backstretch of last year in Cottam and Mike Cox. A Left Tackle I believe has strong upside in Branden Albert. A solid at least #2 WR in Dwayne Bowe. A solid but unspectacular DE in Tamba Hali. In Dorsey, you have a guy who played decent at 3-4 DE and probably would have played a lot better at this natural position last year at DT. And even in terms of quality depth, Tank and Turk, Page, Pollard are very solid rotational guys.

This is a team that was built exclusively on 3 drafts. Few players from the Vermeil era were good enough to be on the Herm roster. And Carl was too cheap to bring in elite, long-term free agent options. Considering that Herm had almost nothing to work with, that list above is pretty solid.

I'm sure that's what he is worried about, looking dumb to CP.

2007 was easily his worst.

McBride was probably the worst pick of his tenure. Medlock over Crosby was also beyond awful.

Ultimately I suppose that I'm giving them perhaps more credit than I should for Bowe, Tyler and Taylor. I think Bowe's being screwed with and Tyler/Taylor were coached and/or utilized right out of being viable, long-term NFL players.

I suppose I can see 'below average' but that draft will outproduce the 2009 draft and the 2009 draft came from #3 in the draft. As important as that is in the first round, it's perhaps more important in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th rounds.

If I see last season as an F draft (and I do), then when considering the relative positions in the drafts, I see the 2007 draft as no worse than a D+ (And apparently they give a lot fewer D+ than D-; it's not a grade they like to give out...)

Listen, Chiefs fans, if we stop the run and my boy Weis works his magic with Cassel, we can win 7 games and convince legions of fans to buy season tickets. Clark will give me a pat on the back and he'll never have to pay a top five pick ever again.

We'll enter 2011 needing only a right tackle to compete.

I'm sure he's pretty concerned about how he looks to Clark Hunt and to people that buy tickets...but lets ignore that.

I think a regime that hangs signs about "losers gathering in small groups" blah, blah, blah is a bit more worried about perception than one might initially think.

That's some embarrassing bullshit that Pioli and company were involved in last year.

Carr is solid. Hopefully gets better. I want to believe he will turn into a great player. He still gets torched at times.

Cottam is a bust, deal with it.

Flowers has not lived up to his reputation. Potential out the ass. Still hasn't made a game changing play.

Albert I want to agree with but not yet "impact". I want him to be the futire LT but there is a reason there has been a lot of talk of KC taking a LT. Because there are questions. Real or imagined.

Bowe I would love to agree with but a disappointment at this stage.

Lot's of if's and buts just like many other drafts before.
