And who exactly was out there who had "similar talent" that we could have gotten 10 picks later? I can't think of anybody and the draft board certainly doesn't show anybody who is comparable to Hali at that point in the draft or slightly later.

Sure...trade down when you don't have a guy at your pick that you feel strongly about. That's a wise move. However, KC felt strongly about Hali. Moving down and missing on him, especially considering the extreme need at DE would have most likely been a monumental error. The draft gods don't go out of their way to favor KC in the best of times. Last year was an exception.
It's a long thread...so here's what I said originally:

And even if her were somehow snapped up, then we still could've landed Jimmy Williams, Santonio Holmes, Chad Jackson, or Winston Justice, who I bet will all turn out to be better pros than Hali.

I hope that he's an all-Pro for the next 10 years. But I just don't feel very good about it yet. Hey, I liked about 40% of the picks, so I'm not impossible to please.

What highlight video are you referring to? One of those internet highlight films from a network that used only footage from the two or three games they covered?

I'll make a gentleman's bet with you. I'll bet that Tamba Hali breaks the Chief rookie record for sacks. I'll predict, here and now, that he will surpass the rookie season sack totals of both Derrick Thomas and Jared Allen.

Mike Bell's family has seats directly in front of mine. My g/f's dad told me that one time he and his dad were there and were talking shit about Mike Bell and then one of them turned around and said something to the likes of "that's my son". Priceless.

I think the past few days have been a 52 week high for shameless tripe posted about a football player. Maybe not since Larry Johnson was wearing #34 has it been this big of a bull market for bull s###

Carlota69 05-01-2006 03:42 PM
Ah, remember the good ol' days when we were stoked about getting Ryan Sims and pissed that we got Larry Johnson?

I miss those days...oh, wait....

Had the technology existed in biblical times, I'm sure there would be one highlight of one big strong dude named Goliath getting dominated ONCE by a weakling named David. As dramatic as the alleged outcome was I wonder how many highlights would exist of him beating the stuffing out of that David dude had they fought ten times. The point is, even the best players this day and age can show up on some highlight being "dominated." I agree with you here. BSPimpDude should not judge Tamba Hali by one highlight.

So what you're saying is that you don't think that Hali is better than a mid-second round pick. I definitely disagree with this "analysis" but when Hali makes a few Pro Bowls, it won't matter where he was drafted.

And FTR, there have been VERY few wide recievers drafted in the first or second round that have not only made an immediate impact, but a long lasting impact. I am SO happy that the Chiefs didn't draft Jackson (who is a system WR if I've ever seen one, let alone the fact that Florida WR's just don't seem to pan out in the NFL), or Justice (we have tons of OL prospects and don't need another) or Holmes (though I think he'll have the better of the two careers when compared to Jackson) or Williams.

The list of top prospects that I had ranked Justice as the 10th best player in the draft. Based on that I couldn't believe when he dropped like he did. I thought now we HAVE TO spend our 2nd on him for future fix. Then I discovered the reason for his drop. Arrests and other off-field stupidity. IOW, character problems. No thanks. I'm pretty pumped about Hali and all the "character" stuff that I read about him. I think he is talented (if not a little raw) and combined with his (alleged) strength of character we have a great first rounder.

I think every team needs some class acts and some bad boys. Although I'm not for someone starting a fight at a nightclub, and I'd flat out try and hurt the guy I see assault his wife, I think sometimes that dirty attitude these people bring to a team rubs off on other players and makes them more intense. There's no evidence or justification for it, but I just think that. :-)

No offence, Moooo. But how old are you? Old enough to remember Marty's final couple of years? My definition of "bad boys" footballwise is on-field badass football players. Not drug dealers, drunk drivers or night club thugs. The Raiders are welcome to them. My Chiefs (hopefully) will thrive with the likes of Tamba Hali.

DJ is a bust too only 9 tackles and 1 1/2 sacks. We allowed 90 plus yards passing-truely unacceptable.

Serving up a big bowl of dumb.

Hammock Parties 10-02-2006 10:06 AM
Hali is getting shafted. He had a forced fumble yesterday on his first sack.

Kerberos 10-02-2006 10:06 AM
Funny how people can call out someone BEFORE they even get to play.

IMO he has played better than the #1 pick that Houston has playing. I would just as soon have Tamba than Super Mario.

I bookmarked this thread the day of the draft, and I wanted to wait to bump this for a little while since it's still early in the season, but I couldn't resist any longer. He's clearly an upgrade at the position.

Inspector 10-02-2006 10:25 AM
I wondered if this was going to pop up again.

Nice move.

Mr. Banyon - still feel the same?

Iowanian 10-02-2006 10:29 AM

Banyon, Mecca and to some extent Raush put their units in a cider press on this thread.

priceless.

That "raw potential", "limted background in football", "sounds like Junior Siavii" analysis is the biggest horseshit I've read all day - and there's been a lot.

Raw potential? The kid was drafted because he produces. If anything, he lacked potential, but you knew what you'd get.

In all fairness, non of us could be sure that Tamba would be this good. It's banyon's radical opiniated overreaction in his thread that we are reacting against. Much like yours in your post.

Demonpenz 10-02-2006 11:44 AM
holy shit if anyone took that for me being serious has issues. I was trying to reel people in for his off the field issues because they ran that article 10 times about what a great guy he is off the field.

Hound333 10-02-2006 11:47 AM
I honestly didn't think he would start this year. I was one of those that wondered if we had reached again like we did on Junior. I am glad I was wrong. Maybe I will have to start trusting our picks again instead of immediately putting them into the bust column.

Demonpenz 10-02-2006 11:47 AM

If you guys haven't read Posnanski's article today, you should, it's about Tamba's mom who made her first trip to Arrowhead yesterday.

I liked the Hali pick at the time and still do. In the Orange Bowl, before the combine, I thought he was the defensive playmaker the Chiefs needed but wouldn't get.

This turned out much like DJ who Whitlock claimed in an article the prior year in Dec when we won a meaningless game that it would cost us the defensive playmaker we needed, Texas' Derrick Johnson.

That being said. He went against Kwame Harris who is the worse RT in the league. Harris is horrible. Hali still needs to work on his game against some of the better RT's in the game.

Did anyone else notice a lot of un-called holding calls on SF? I thought there should have had more holding calls vs. the SF OL.

Trading down is not easy. You need another team that wants a player at that spot badly enough to move up. Besides I remember hearing that the Chiefs knew a team a few behind them wanted Hali.

did we reach a little? yeah...

did we fill a position of need? yeah...

how good will he be? don't know...

I'm happy with this pick...he isn't a project and we didn't draft for "potential"....

no reason to be that upset, imho

This thread is hilarious! It's so weird to see the mind set that so many fans had last year about Hali. Aren't we all glad that we chose Hali and not Lawson? I am. Tamba wants to play the game and is only going to get better and better. I don't know who we choose this draft, but Herm did a good job in year one, IMO...
