It goes to show that the team will likely draft players that makes nobody happy in the end. Sanchez, Curry, OL, pass rusher, etc. No matter what camp you were in for the first 4 rounds or so, you were disappointed. Similarly, for the most part people liked some of Herm's drafts where Dorsey, Tank and Turk were considered good players and good value picks.

nobody has impressed thus far but it's still too early to judge ... especially on a guy like Colin Brown who was hurt.

All it shows right now is that the team was wrong and had a horrid draft.

(subject to change, of course)

I don't think this is funny, at all.

Besides the fact that picks 1, 2 and 3 sucked ass, with the exception of Succop, the rest of the draft sucked as well.

If the Chiefs had taken Murphy in the 4th and Ellison in the 6th along with Succop, it would have been much easier to live with blowing the day one picks.

All I can say is that they'd better pull a rabbit out of the hat in the 2010 draft, or this team is going to continue to be stuck in neutral for the foreseeable future.

FYP

Thanks for fixing my post.

LMAO

Sure, hate on a guy who put his opinion out there and dared to be optimistic.

It is way too ****ing easy to be pessimistic, to snipe, to keep your opinions to yourself for fear that the Draft Gods or Haters will trounce your opinion until it's irrelevent to everybody but your mother.

I'm not going to just shit out happy thoughts and pray. I genuinely thought this was a good Draft, and TO BE FAIR, virtually every single one of these picks were projects, something which I hadn't anticipated on Draft Day. Jackson and Succop are the ONLY players from this Draft that were readymade.

So no, the jury is still out a couple more years. And I could still be wrong. But I'm not going to resign to blind pessimism simply because it's easier to be that way.

I wanted Orakpo instead of TJ, but beyond the first round I got nothing.

The bump wasn't aimed at you. I was just looking for an initial reaction thread. Between now and the draft there will be 100s of posts about how stupid other people are for wanting X, Y, Z instead of A, B, C. In all likelihood everyone will be disappointed at the end of the day.

Disappointed with the Chiefs selections or with the rookie seasons of guys the Chiefs passed on?

I'd have more respect for this post if it

A) acknowledged that you gave the Chiefs a C- for their 2008 draft

B) acknowledged that the "perpetual pessimists" were up in arms with joy over the 2008 draft.

All you have is hope.

The bottom line is that outside of Mr. Irrelevant, this draft ****ing sucked ass.

The bottom line is that when the organization makes a move that people think is good, the so-called "haters" give them praise.

Just because 90+% of the moves are bad doesn't make them haters, it makes them aware of the fact that the moves are bad.

I fail to see why I should give some no-neck **** like Pioli, who's making millions of dollars a year, a ****ing participation ribbon because he makes a move. If it sucks, it sucks, and should be characterized as such.

A) is sort of odd to me.

The dude gives the 2008 draft a C- when everyone was RAVING about how excellent we made out, and then when everyone talks about how terrible our 2009 draft was he comes out with some good grades...

Sounds like a case of attention whoring to me. I don't like it when people don't call them how they see it...I may be wrong at times but at least I call them how I see them.
