And yet he was still drafted within the Top 100 players of the 2010 draft.

None of those injuries scream health issue to me.

Bad luck? Absolutely. But in a 17 week long season, he would have returned from all of those injuries while playing in the NFL.

None of those injuries, in and of themselves, would scream health issues to me.

However, all together scream brittle to me.

And the fact that so many scream that it's not an issue, screams blinders to me.

Eh, that's why he went 29th overall in the third. If he had half the injuries (or none), he's a bonafide Top 15 first rounder.

He may never have another injury again. Or he might be consistently injured. Either way, he's worth the risk because his talent is clearly evident.

Dane was referring to his 21 catches in his 4yrs. at Tennessee, not the NFL. Hell, in just two years as a pro he has already amassed a total of 16 catches. :rolleyes:

Why do people care about a 7th round pick?

As far Cottam, people forget that he logged a lot of minutes as a rookie and stayed healthy.

Top 15 is really pushing it!

While it didn't cost much, I think it's pretty representative of the 2009 draft that we traded up for a guy who's turned out to be pretty horrible.

The 2009 KC draft was horrid to say the least.

But this 2010 draft will be looked at as one of the best, possibly top 3 drafts of all the teams.

I'm glad to see they actually knew what they were doing this time around.

and Moeaki was one of them
Not if you read his post. Tight ends that are a weapon in the run game and pass game are over valued in the draft, they are rare. Not top 15 in a draft like the one we just had, but in a normal draft that is where those guys go. His only detractor was his injury history.

If he stays healthy in the NFL, he will be a player that makes a difference for our turnaround.

Trent Green was known as pretty fragile before he came here. Until Moeaki is injured all the time at this level, I'm not going to be too concerned about his past.

If they put their hot tubs in the same room Croyle could throw to Moeaki all season.

Trent Green:

The benchmark for head in-sand hope for all of Chiefs Nation. :rolleyes:

The milk is already spilt. It makes more sense to me to hope he stays healthy than to hope he continues to get injured to justify someone's opposition to the pick.

The trade is done, I'm simply hoping for suckage to justify USING a pick in next years Super-Awesome QB Class.

Or, I'll just hate and hate on Pioli( which I enjoy immensely anyway )until he's fired or otherwise no longer GM.

We're due for the 1st round pick as a franchise. Do it, win a Championship, or GTFO.

They didn't use a pick in next year's draft on Moeaki, they used one of their three fifth round 2010 picks to trade up to that slot.
