I just can't ****ing take it anymore; this draft needs to be done, dead, and gone. I see statements like the one above and it just......**** me; enough!

Enough.

:D

How does my ass taste?

If the Lions do pass on Stafford and Sanchez, I would not be totally opposed to drafting one of those two at #3 even though we spent our 2nd rounder on a QB. Especially if we are not able to trade down. I would much rather hedge our bet on the QB spot, and make sure we have the right guy for the job for the next decade or so, than to have the opportunity to do so and wind up finding out we missed out be picking the wrong guy (Cassel).

You gonna pay them both as well? That No 3 pick is quite expensive, and that franchise number is quite expensive...

What franchise number? You cant be serious about paying Cassell franchise QB type money? The dude is nothing more than a stop gap QB. No way he should be paid anywhere near the top 10....

Average at best, but if you have a chance to develop and draft a franchise QB, you better take that opportunity and get your QB...

The franchise number the Chiefs are currently on the hook for, whether you think he's worth it or not.

Stafford had a poor offensive line and a defense last year that was horrible. He did have some skill players around him, but not enough to overcome for those two issues. He also played in the best conference in college football.

This isn't Sanchez who had a great offensive line and a great defense and just had to manage the game most of the time.

$14 mil per year?

If Cassel is worth 14$ mill per year to the Chiefs, I see no reason why you and I couldnt be on the sidelines stealing at least $1 mil per year...

We are worth at least $1 Mill to the Chiefs if Cassel is worth franchise money...

Just saying....

The thing that you just don't seem to get is that the draft isn't the lottery. You don't just buy a ticket hoping to win. You have to have faith in the guy you draft. That doesn't make you 'scared'.

Now, if YOU were GM, and YOU drafted Sanchez, I couldn't bash you for it, because you clearly believe in the kid. But, to bash someone else for not believing in him or Stafford is silly.

Personally, I believe in Stafford. I would have liked to see the Chiefs draft him. In fact, with every loss, I thought 'we are closer to Matt Stafford'.

But, even though I personally think he is going to be a great QB, I understand the concerns and the questions about him. I don't think those people are 'scared'.

And, it would be dumb to draft a QB over a guy that you thought was better just because he was a QB. That is rationalization and hope.

I know that runs rampant on this board, but it isn't a way to run a franchise.

Mayock should just STFU and quit trying to ruin shit for us Chiefs fans

I don't think any team should be risk adverse. I mean, if that were the case, no one would ever draft anyone because EVERY pick is a risk.

With that said, you assume that these guys are scared. I think they just want to take a risk that they believe in.

I am, by nature, a huge risk taker. I like to gamble, I own my own small business, I own a lot of rental property. If I have the choice of a sure three dollars, or a good chance to make six.... I nearly always the six.

But, it is something that I have to believe in.

If you bet football, you don't just bet every game just because you 'could' win. You bet the games you believe in. This is similar to the early rounds of the draft. The more money you are betting, the more you have to believe in the game.

I think late picks are like the lottery. If I play the lottery, I don't 'believe' in the numbers, but the money gambled is so small and the potential payoff so large, that it makes sense to me.

I just don't know why you assume all these teams are 'scared' just because they don't believe in these guys.

Never been a Stafford fan for precisely the reason Mayock states, "played with two elite receivers and an NFL-caliber running back and "sometimes he looked like Superman and sometimes he looked average." I think Stafford and the offense looked average far to often last season.

If the Chiefs get Curry I agree he should play SAM with Vrabel at WILL. DJ would be good inside playing much the same position Scott played with Baltimore. That leaves a big hole on the inside next to DJ that I don't believe anyone on the current roster can adequately fill.

Any fan can only watch so much college football, and we only see the network TV footage.

These analysts get to watch coaches tapes, talk to the coaches about these kids, and break it down as their career.

Not a single one of us on here is that adept at the draft.

And, from reading Mecca, yeah, he knows the basics, but he is by no means an expert on anything other than rationalizing the selection of a QB at the top of the draft.

If they go to a 3-4, there is no traditional SAM linebacker.

They can put him at ILB on the strong side which would be the most similar to SAM in the 4-3. It will come with many of the same responsibilities, only he will have to cover more to the inside as well.

What do you call the OLB on the strong side in a 3-4? It is the ILB on the strong side that I feel would be the big hole.
