This is a team that needs alot of shit...from QB to Dline...and when I start looking at the players this year, I just don't see any of those lineman worth those picks.

I personally like Everette Brown but I wouldn't use a top 5 pick on him, and Brian Orakpo just has a huge flashing sign that says stay away on his forehead.

Yeah, this draft is really weak at the top. You have the 2 QB's and an OLman or two.

No he was the 1st pick of the second round. There was only 31 teams in 2001.

I don't lump you in with the other people by the way..

It's not like I think your Frankie who has such fear of the QB position he will make every high draft thought of QB into the devil.

I think I threw out the last 3 in my analysis do to they havent had the time. This data is for the Ryan Leaf scared to death people. You have a damn good shot at getting a good player instead of a total bust.

Heh. Oops....I"m reeruned.

I also don't understand why people feel the QB position is so risky, it's the most important position so you should be willing to take the chance especially when you factor in there are busts at every position, no position is completely safe.

Here we go...

It IS risky.

And yes, though you think otherwise, a bust with a high QB pick can, and does cripple a franchise.

You've made a financial commitment to this guy for 4-5 years, and if he goes south on you, you're screwed. Bad QB play will stunt the growth of the entire offense. And you can't pull him, because you're paying him a shit-ton of money. So you have to ride it out, and take that shot again, hoping to hit the next time - while other players are basically being wasted in their prime because the team is going nowhere without an offense that opposing defenses have to respect. (See: JaMarcus Russell)

If you pick any other position that early and they bust, it doesn't have the same effect.

Draft a LT and he sucks? Move him into guard, or give him help. But his bad play isn't going to stall the entire offense.

Draft a DT and he sucks? You keep playing him because he's going to give you SOMETHING, and his play alone isn't going to **** up the entire defense.

exactly...like you said it's a team sport in a time of single player slob fests...I'll never forget the look on Collins face when Crumpler fumbled that ball and the game away....you can do everything right and all it takes is one play..ie holmes first fumble in over four hundred touches in the Indy playoff game...

Taking a QB with the 3rd pick would be worth the meltdown on this board....

I would love it...

I was happy to hear Pioli said he has red flags go up with good combine numbers.

great so you have a LT playing guard...and no QB....


what's the point?

you're trying to build a championship team not minimize risk....

now matter how you say it, "don't draft a QB because it is risky" is a loser's mentality...the exact loser's mentality that has infested this franchise for decades....

Eh, only the true reeruns would meltdown.

Otherwise, any meltdown would be confined to getting the supposed "wrong" QB.

I swear, your teachers must hang their heads in shame, because you have a serious reading comprehension problem.

I'm not saying "don't draft a QB high." I've been on board with Sanchez before just about everyone else on this board.

What I AM saying, is that there IS a huge risk.

I'll type it again in all caps, maybe you'll get it this time, since you've missed it the other 500 times I've said it in the past 4 months:


I WANT US TO DRAFT A QB WITH OUR 1ST PICK, PREFERABLY MARK SANCHEZ.

HOWEVER, UNLIKE OTHERS, I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A HUGE RISK INVOLVED, A BIGGER RISK THAN AT ANY OTHER POSITION.

UNDERSTANDING THAT RISK, I STILL WANT THE CHIEFS TO TAKE A QB WITH THEIR 1ST PICK.


Holy shit, where's the tylenol?

did you see that they are speculating that his deal will be bigger than big bro'sROFL
