Walter Football: The Chiefs' "Great Draft"
 

http://www.walterfootball.com/offseason2008kc.php

2008 NFL Draft Picks:

5. Glenn Dorsey, DT, LSU
The FBI should check if the Chiefs sent a suitcase of unmarked bills to Atlanta's war room during Draft Day. Thanks to the Falcons foolishly passing on Glenn Dorsey (and Sedrick Ellis for that matter), the Chiefs were able to obtain someone who is considered the top prospect in this class by many. (Pick Grade: A)

15. Branden Albert, G/OT, Virginia
On my next flight, I expect to see monsters outside the airplane window. When I celebrate my 80th birthday, I'll become a kid again. And I'll be prepared to travel through other eras and experience racism first hand. That's because we've entered the Twilight Zone. The Chiefs had a good draft? How is this possible? (Pick Grade: A)

35. Brandon Flowers, CB, Virginia Tech
Kansas City goes 3-for-3. The team addressed all of its needs while taking the best players available. I'm almost positive some 12-year-old brat has Carl Peterson and Herm Edwards trapped in his imagination house. (Pick Grade: A)

72. Jamaal Charles, RB, Texas
Apparently the aliens who abducted Carl Peterson and Herm Edwards haven't returned them yet. Another great player acquired by the Chiefs. Edwards ruined Johnson's career with the 416 carries in 2006, so Jamaal Charles should see a lot of playing time in the near future. (Pick Grade: A)

76. Brad Cottam, TE, Tennessee
I thought the Chiefs would spend a third-rounder on a tight end, but they already used a luxury pick on a running back. They need to start addressing their offensive and defensive lines, as well as their receiving corps. (Pick Grade: C)

82. DaJuan Morgan, FS, N.C. State
Give Kansas City tons of credit - DaJuan Morgan could be the best free safety in this draft. He's a steal at 82. (Pick Grade: A)

105. William Franklin, WR, Missouri
An early third-round prospect in the fourth at a position of need? Seriously, who kidnapped Herm Edwards and Carl Peterson? This excellent draft was completely unexpected. (Pick Grade: A)

140. Brandon Carr, CB, Grand Valley State
Sort of a reach; I had Brandon Carr in the seventh round. But we're in the fifth round now, so this isn't as bad as it would have been in the fourth. This is a position of need. (Pick Grade: C)

170. Barry Richardson, OT, Clemson
Great pick. The Chiefs obtained a need and a fourth-round prospect in the sixth. (Pick Grade: A)

182. Kevin Robinson, WR, Utah State
This was the time to go quarterback. Why not Andre' Woodson? Have fun with Brodie Croyle. (Pick Grade: D)

210. Brian Johnston, DE, Gardner-Webb
Good to see Kansas City's great draft has extended to Round 7. Brian Johnston is a major steal and a fourth-round prospect. (Pick Grade: A)

239. Mike Merritt, TE, Central Florida
Not on my board, but it's the seventh round. (Pick Grade: C)

Yeah so all in all a C+ right?


:D jk

So going by this we get at 43 out of 48 or 90%. Now once you put in on the curve to value the top picks more that the lower ones there is no way that this thing grades out lower than a 95%

Haha, hilarious comments.

Ummm.... because Andre Woodson sucks, maybe?

I don't understand why everyone thinks taking a late round qb prospect was a good idea. Croyle might not be the answer, but drafting Woodson, Josh Johnson, Brennan, or Ainge wouldn't have fixed our qb situation. None of them are better prospects than Croyle.

The Walter Football site is awesome, everyone should read the blog he did during the first day where he did "fictional emmitt" it's great.

Nobody has as good of a draft as the Chiefs. If you took away half their picks I still think they come out on top. I was shocked.

And he's BACK!

Welcome back.

However briefly

No. I've been reading about that douche today, but I am not him. I kind of had a feeling I picked the wrong day to sign up after I read that thread.

Evidently the mods felt otherwise.

I agree. IMO we would have been taking a quarterback just for the sake of taking a quarterback. Maybe if we collected quarterbacks like Tampa Bay does but we don't.

we may end up with one of the Tampa Bay cast offs for backup who knows.

Thank god that Kuharick was able to abduct Twiddle Dee and Tweedle Dumb :)
