Even while McCluster succeeds, this continues to be my concern about that pick...
 

He is a gadget guy, yes. Who can provide tons of different things for your offense. And he's someone who can contribute immediately.

But is he someone you can build around?

I hesitate still, even now, to say yes.

What's the track record of really small football players in the NFL?

Don't they typically peter out after a few years? Even if they are very good -- as Sproles, a thicker back than McCluster, was very good -- won't they eventually flame out in a few years, rather than providing the sustained level of ability that virtually any other position on the football field would?

I am prepared to endure your scorn.

I think it's unknown until he loses the 'gadget' tag... I don't think anyone has seen enough yet.

Real fans don't ask those types of questions....

Working well so far.

Who do you get in the 2nd to "build around?"

That isn't necessarily the alternative.

Why call him a prick?

Are you suggesting there are no foundation/elite guys to be found in R2?

The Chiefs have been down for the past four seasons. Can't you people just enjoy the ride instead of worrying about what lies ahead?

He's no Claussen.

We get it.

Unless he's an Andre Johnson type of player, you don't build around a WR anyway.

If he helps us win, then he was worth the pick.

If he loses any speed/quickness because of an injury, he's ****ed because the opposition will tee-off on him.

Next year we'll get us another one (gadget player in the second round, that is).

Steelers enjoyed antwain randel el for like 10 years.

He is a playmaker. The more dynamic playmakers generally don't last that long either (see RBs in particular) because of the way they are used and abused while their skills are still fresh.
