Yeah, but of all the teams that passed on Montana, the Chiefs were one of a select few that passed on him to take a different QB. In the 1st round. That makes the Chiefs blunder much worse IMO, since most of teams that passed on him didn't need a QB at the time.

It's reminiscient of our RB futility of the 90s. Carl just can't seem to find a good one.

When did 3rd round become a "latter" round?

And who the hell drafted Moon?

Well, to be honest, it isn't fair to just pick a player. Also, anyone picked in round 5 or later, shouldn't be allowed. Their chances of making the team aren't strong to begin with.

But, you have to make an honest assessment with each pick. For instance, Ryan Sims is everyone's favorite bashing toy right now. We moved up a spot to get him in the first round. We badly needed a Defensive Lineman that year, and we literally "stole" him away from Minnesota who took too long to make their pick. This doesn't look good.

BUT- you also have to consider who, of the defensive linemen ONLY, were taken after him. Is there another defensive linemen taken AFTER Sims from that draft year that is playing/performing better than Sims? If NOT, then you can blame the pick. Saying something like, Well Tom Brady was available in the 6th round that year...Well, here's something for you Sherlock- then that means that EVERY fuggen team *****ed up, not just the Chiefs.

It is not fair to say we missed players who turned out to be Pro Bowlers later when our needs that draft year didn't include those players. You have to be fair in your judgment here and if there was a defensive lineman taken after Sims that is performing well, then that only confirms the pick was a horrible choice.

I'm sorry, but I hate these stoopid "Who we shoud've drafted" threads, 'cause the fact of the matter is- every team is at fault for not picking up players they thought they should have drafted.

Think about every team in the NFL this past draft that drafted a WR and how all of them passed up on Marques Colston who is outshining every single WR taken above him. You don't think all of those team owners are shaking their heads in disbelief now and are considering firing their scouts, if they haven't already.

If you're going to go back and say Matt Blundin was a stinky draft choice, then you must be fair to yourself and first ask: Did we need to draft a QB that year, and if we did- then did any QB drafted AFTER him have any success as a starter. If so, then Blundin was a bad pick, if not, then Blundin's pick is irrelevant.

FYP

I completely agree with this... The only thing I'll add is my vote goes to Siavii based on the fact the he was a reach with well know off field issues. Maybe Jenkins had off field issue too but for some reason I recall he at least wanted to play football.

Tony Mandarich, Ryan Leaf, Brian Bosworth.

Just a couple of examples.

The fact is, even at the very top of the draft, it is still just a crapshoot.

You're kidding, right?

Hmmmmm as a Jaguar fan I have to go with Ryan Sims. After all by drafting him you guys passed on big John Henderson who has been a great anchor in Jacksonville with Marcus Stroud. Sims has talent but one of the worst work ethics in the NFL if you ask me.

I think it was Mr. PastorMikH that coined the term, "The higher the pick, the bigger the bust."

So before I choose, which pick was Harvey "Bobblehead" Williams?

Oh, I think you are overestimating Sims.

Sims has no talent, nor any work ethic. In college he had Julius Peppers drawing quadruple teams. I could have had 5-6 sacks lining up with Peppers. He's a fat sack of shit who lost any work ethic he may have had the day he got his first check (hell, before that even. Vermeil was bitching his ass out in TC b/c not only did he hold out, the fat bitch came in out of shape). If Sims had talent he would show it this year, as this is a walk year for him. Even the laziest of players bust their asses in a contract year. He's just a big pile of shit. I'd pay 20 bucks to watch him die

LMAO

He'll probably die in his sleep due to clogged arterey, and you'd feel cheated, again.

We didn't steal Sims from Minnesota, we barely avoided having him stolen by Minnesota. We traded up late on the clock and it expired before we could get our pick in. Minnesota was on the clock then and was just a little too slow to get their pick in before one of our flunkies raced up to the podium (so to speak) with the Sims pick.
