*scratches head*

You really think so?

The Chiefs play dime 70% of the time... You think the best value would be to draft a DL that sees the field 50% of the time on a good week?

Discuss Thrower is actually missing more brain cells than you, so his opinion should be null and void.

"Jack" of all trades?

He was named to All Conference teams at BOTH LT and C.

He's an ace of all trades. And again, nobody churns out better centers than FSU right now.

Well first of all, I don't have to think like Dorsey/Reid in the CP mock. I'm the GM, not doing a Dorsey imitation.

Secondly, Dorsey has absolutely not said Kush starts week one -- he said they have complete confidence in him, which is promising but what else is Dorsey going to say about a guy he drafted. Plus, Dorsey said that a day AFTER my selection, so that quote wasn't capable of coloring my decision-making process.

Good grief.

Dorsey has had absolutely no issue with cutting players he's acquired. If he didn't like Kush, he'd be gone.

You as the GM would suck more than Schaaf, Peterson and Pioli combined.

You couldn't draft the right players if you were given every pick in the draft.

"Liking Kush" can be any number of things. He may like him as depth. He may also like him because, above all, he's cheap. The Chiefs tanked Marcus Cooper all year and he's still on the roster.

I haven't seen Dorsey give anything but shining endorsements to any drafted player of his.

He's allowed to handle them that way, but it sure robs those public remarks of their agency.

NSFW.

what's with the weird hostility?


did direckshun rape someone's fat mom?

It's just hard-wired to the Lil' Chiefy DNA now:

Lil' Chiefy gonna' love him some fatty.

Every...

****ing...

year.


Sad.

Yes, I'm joking.

We have no clue what Kush can do. He's started 1 game at C.

If we spent some low round pick on another one for depth I wouldn't freak out about it...

Ok, I'll answer this as rationally as I can since you asked....

These are the positions I would NOT draft before I took a center in the first round...

- fullback
- kicker
- punter

That's it. Center would be fourth in line on that list, so I would literally take any position other than those listed before I took a center in this year's first round. And before you launch into a Saccopoo-esque rant about the importance of offensive lines (and centers in particular), I will ask this one question - What's your problem with Eric Kush?

Exactly.

Picking Erving is not a bad way to go, and the fact that many of you disagree just reinforces that Direckshun is headed the right way.

As someone stated, Erving has remarkable versatility, so if Kush somehow steps up, then you still drafted a good RT that could play LT in a pinch. Erving at C has everything you could want. He's intelligent, strong, and has the cone and shuttle times to show he can get out quickly in space.. which is something that has to be very desirable for KC's outside runs and screen designs.

Whether a C, RT, whatever... strengthen the OL... which is equal to or is the weakest group other than ILB.

La'el Collins, Flowers, Peat, or maybe Kendricks would have been good choices also. Other than that, Erving is still a solid choice.

Wow so you drafted him to backup every position on the OL not to start at any particular one position.
Sure lets draft a swing backup OL with our 1st overall.
