When DraftPlanet is in the shadows, the talk there is better. Dipshits who want to take Chase Daniel with a 1st round pick either don't know that it's there, or don't take the time to post it there - let that crap clutter the Lounge.

Leave the serious talk to DraftPlanet.

We're still seeing draft threads in the main forum, though. Either way the dumbasses will post crap like that in one forum or the other.

The convenience far outweighs the quality, I think. It's not like the quality posters will go away. We'll just see extra stuff around it.

One last thing.

Seriously?

You can't ignore someone's unintelligent ramblings about our first round pick for the sake of getting more people involved in discussion? There are plenty of fantastic posters interested in the draft that the forum doesn't see otherwise. They'll be there if the direct link is there.

Yeah, God forbid there be a prominent place on a FOOTBALL forum to talk FOOTBALL without having to get threads bumped over the newest recipes, grooming techniques or the latest fake story about our GM hire.

Hey those recipes KEEP ME ALIVE.

Seriously though, I mainly come here to learn about Chiefs football. It's time for Draft Planet.

PREPARE TO BE NUKED

I've said my piece on this. Knocking a forum from the top obliterates it. The Draft Forum gets no traffic whatsoever because, as milkman's said in the past, "out of sight out of mind."

All I know is that I get a huge difference posting a mock in Draft Planet and posting one here in DaFace's prefixed wet dream. Posting one in DP invites conversation, and criticism. Posting one here, as I've done a couple times in the heavy traffic of the evening, elicits two-word posts, simple insults, and shrugs. The breakdowns, as I always love doing them, are few and far between because they get washed out.

And hiding the forum like it is now kills it.

The talk either gets washed out in the heavy, mindless traffic, or gets killed in an isolated forum. The happy medium is elevating the separate forum.

Jesus CHRIST JUST BRING IT BACK.

Yep.

I'm surprised this is even an issue. There has been a seperate draft forum now for the past 3 seasons on Chiefsplanet, and every year it's a great success. People simply want a quick rundown on draft news and opinions, and the quick link of the draft forum provides that. The main forum otherwise gets cluttered with other important things, like Pioli head coach threads and poop posts.

I don't even do that much research or post my own mock drafts or anything. But I love READING others' opinions on these college players. It really educates me well when the day comes in April.

If it hasn't been seconded already, I second putting the draft forum up as a link on the main forum page

Here's my thoughts.....like anyone cares.

Bring it back.......but at least make it simple. I just get tired of seeing 20 new threads with everyone's personal mock drafts. Create a mock draft thread and merge all of the mocks into it if need be. Shit....I'll volunteer just to merge the shit together.

Don't worry, this will happen.

I'll help if you need anything. I'd rather see DraftPlanet then the ****ing DC.

I love personal mocks. They're a great endorsement of certain players at certain rounds.

Because most of the time, people will largely agree on players, but disagree on value. I don't think most of us would say no to Tebow, but is Tebow really 1st round talent? If not, 3rd? 7th?
