Okay, I'll bite: Who?

List 'em.

He won't.

Don't worry.

Great career?

LMAO

Is this what Chiefs fans have been reduced to thinking is "great"? A QB who didn't win a playoff game in 6 seasons after the Chiefs passed on Drew Brees in favor of Green, who had never proven ANYTHING?

JFC.

Wrong.

The draft board of Scott Pioli is different than any other NFL GM.

Seriously? You're going to blame the 80's on Cherry?

The Chiefs were absolutely ****ing LOADED with talent, especially talent in the secondary in the 80's.

Schaaf and Steadman just couldn't hire a coach to save their jobs.

Not really, but I'm not opposed to the idea either. And I'm not so naive as to try to justify that the Chiefs don't need to draft a tackle because Branden Albert was a first round draft pick two years ago. He was picked by Carl and Herm. Their stellar drafting record speaks for itself, especially in the Herm years. They took a flyer on a guy who had never played left tackle in college and tried to shoe horn him into the position at the next level. It was a typical Carl/Herm pick, and his performance on the field has not been good. And that's with two years of starting experience. And that's not even mentioning the rest of the line positions, which all need to be looked at. (Smith being the one potential talent.)

People around here seem to love to make excuses and criticisms for anyone and everyone as long as it's just not their pet player for the Chiefs first round selection.

Our safeties suck. I'd be happy with Berry. Our linebackers suck. I'd be happy with McClain or Spikes or Kindle. Our tight ends suck. I wouldn't mind it one bit if they took Gresham with the #1. Our defensive line sucks. It would be a godsend if Suh dropped.

But guess what? Our entire offensive line sucks even worse and I just feel that it's a pretty important position for a NFL football team. I wanted Oher last year. I would have even been happy if Mack was our pick. And I also felt that if Okung came out last year, he would have been the second best OT in that draft behind Oher. If you don't want a guy like Okung this year, and are holding out hope that Albert gets "it" in his third season of starting in the NFL, or just think that we'll be able to pick up a quality OT in 2011 (when we'd have a shot at Green, Jones, Gabbert or the like), unless some guy has an epiphany, there is going to be a real lack of talent at the OT spot for the next couple of years. Just trying to be a realistic island in this sea of desire for guys who are perceived as high ceiling "playmakers."

With the exception of Flowers and Charles, I don't really care who they replace. They are all expendable/replaceable.

Cleveland has a bunch of highly drafted and highly paid offensive linemen, it's really winning them a lot of games isn't it?

Seeing as that would be the exact 2010 equivalent of drafting Jackson last year...

Did anyone cue AustinChief?

Oh no! Didn't you hear? Dorsey is our best defensive player and to give up on him (much the same as giving up on Albert) would be an unspeakable travesty!

I'm sorry. You have two top five draft picks on the defense. One of them, who isn't named Jackson, is supposedly our best defensive player.

That's not neglecting the defense. (Especially considering that you also have two first rounders at linebacker as well.) In addition, they brought in three Pro Bowl players as free agents this off-season on the defensive side of the ball.

You are going to have to do better than that to convince me that our defense has been neglected.

Moot point. No way they let Berry slide down. But they may take a QB there if it shakes out right.
