Jamal Charles type guys are luxuries which we can't afford and the TE goes against everything that Herm preaches about the draft....He hasn't produced, has had more surgeries than touchdowns, and if he doesn't run a 4.6 he's more of a 7th round guy.

Why cut McGraw? He's a solid special teams guy, plays well when called upon, is a smart player, and a character veteran in the locker room.

Assuming the 1st round tradeup was not inevitable, I would have gone:

1a. Glenn Dorsey, DT
1b. Brian Brohm, QB
2. Limas Sweed, WR
3a. Roy Scheuning, G
3b. Kory Lichtensteiger, C
3c. Anthony Collins, OT
4. Dwight Lowery, CB
5a. Andy Studebaker, LB
5b. Owen Schmitt, FB
6a. Taylor Melhaff, K
6b. Colt Brennan, QB
7a. Chris Harrington, DE
7b. Eric Young, G

That is an awful, awful draft. I love Lichtensteiger, but he's a 6th round pick at best...we're just lucky Denver took him in the 4th. You picked Brohm 40 places above where he went, Sweed can't run routes, you should never draft fullbacks or kickers...just ugh.

That's a purely need-based draft and it's why we are in the position we currently are.

that's where I disagree, you can never have enough talent...and Charles was clearly a better talent than any OL left at that point...

RBs get injured all time...and this guy gives a home run threat we lacked with potential to grow...

i love that more every day

I believe that this draft was the best in KC Chiefs history. I do think some picks were crappy like the Merrit kid and Will Franklin. I say we couldve gotton Booty Flynn or Johnson in those rounds. The pick that made me mad the most was Merritt. We dont need 4 TE's. But overall Id give KC an A-

I'd have to say that the 1961 draft that included EJ Holub, Jim Tyrer, Jerry Mays, and Fred Arbanas was a pretty good one.

Although, technically, that was while still the Dallas Texans.

All part of the core that played in two SBs.

Also included in that draft was Bob Lily, who signed with the Cowboys, and Curtis McClinton, who was pretty productive in his short time.

Give them a couple of years, and you'll see my genius.


And as a clarification, I'm not panning the Chiefs draft with this. I'm just saying that I, as a visionary and brilliant GM, would've gone with these guys.
