If the Chiefs take Berry, or Clausen, in this draft....
 

I'm curious.

I see so many posts that basically paint Pioli as a moron that would pass on both of these guys because they don't fit into the perception that Pioli values certain positions, or has to protect his investment in Cassel so he doesn't look like a dumbass for making that trade (that ship has sailed as far as I'm concerned, but that's another discussion).

If the Chiefs do take Berry or Clausen, does this change your perception, and how much does it change it?

If he takes Berry it changes it, but not Clausen.

If he takes Clausen, I will worship the ground that he walks on. I am so desperate for a franchise QB that it is becoming pathetic.

If he takes Berry, I will be ecstatic that he didn't **** up the pick.

If he takes Okung/Bulaga/Campbell, I will sigh and wonder what if he even knows what he is doing.

This is CP...

...Those individuals will just scream why the hell did we not address our Oline with our first pick...

I don't have a perception of Pioli......yet.

This.

Obviously, if we draft an O lineman, it's to protect the money.
I just honestly don't believe they'd draft a (potential) francise qb.
If a playmaking safety with the upside of a Palomalu or Reed was drafted, I'd be shocked, as well as most this board.
I would say yes to a changed perception, as S.P. has stated (and shown) that you start with the lines first.

Yea, I know, Yaaaaaaaaawwwwn.

Care to expand on that?

For me, if he takes Berry, then I still think he's a dumbass who isn't quite stupid enough to **** up this virtual no-brainer (though Saccoshit leads me to believe there is no such thing as a no-brainer).

If he takes Clausen, even though I'm not entirely sold on his potential, it tells me that Pioli isn't afraid to admit he made a mistake and will work to correct it.

Clausen would have a far more positive affect on my opinion of Pioli, even though I am far more sold on Berry's potential than on Clausen's.

what if pioli thinks higher of the qbs that could be available next year?

I just wish the draft was yesterday.

I agree whole-heartedly. Although getting THAT excited over drafting a safety at #5 doesn't extremely win me over.

I'll puke if he drafts Jimmy "I get punched by my own fans" Clausen.

Very interesting.:hmmm: Having said that,how do you pass on a guy like Clausen,if you think he has the "it" that everyone covets at the Qb position?I don't think they'll take Clausen even if he's there,but I cant wait to find out.

My gut tells me he will draft the "safe" pick and take Okung to protect the money.


So yea, if he drafts Berry or Clausen i will be ecstatic. Im just ready for any type of playmaker.

I dont think they think that far ahead. How could anyone possibly know how the upcoming season will shape out and what the draft order would be??

Okung is going to be gone at 2. There's no way in hell the Lions can roll out the LTs they have against Peppers, Allen and the Packers.
