Are you amazed how many mockers don't want us to draft Berry?
 

It's pretty obvious to me they want us to stink out the joint with our 5th pick. As Lombardi said yesterday, the top 5 players...Bradford, Suh, McCoy, Okung, and Berry are the ONLY BLUE CHIP prospects in this draft...yet we're supposedly the only team that's going to pass on such a great talent and go for other need...namely OT. When perception is everything, I'm pretty pissed these so-called draftnicks are almost trying to will Pioli and company to fuck it up...so Berry WON'T be our guy. Just read their justifications for it...makes you want to :Lin:

They don't know shit about our team.

Not really. It's a perfect storm the Chiefs secrecy, the Jackson pick last year, and a stat sheet filled with sacks that don't tell the hole story.

The mockers have no clue what the Pioli will do, so they see the sacks and throw us a lineman.

The Media hates us. As a Chiefs fan, you should know this by now. I was watching NFLN's top ten TE's list last night.

They ranked TG as the 8th greatest TE in NFL history. Yeah, 8th. Their reasoning? He played for the Chiefs. I shit you not.

This.

They're grasping at straws and giving us the safest pick because they don't know the team, have no intention of knowing the team, and expect us to do stupid shit because we've sucked for decades.

tyson jackson.

Does that mean if we pass on Berry that you don't know the team?

It has nothing to do with them hating our team, they want to get the pick right.

you're right to a certain degree Mecca...but I also believe a strong slant of anti-chief sentiment exists in the mocks..based on what I've seen. If I were to break it down further...I think the football fans out there, including mockers, jump on the big-market bandwagons and unconsciously kiss their collective feet, whereas teams such as the Chiefs, although a strong NFL market, get disrespected due to the huge sports media. ESPN and SI and such rarely give the Chiefs notice, but you will hear a lot about the Cowboys or the Patriots every other week....basically idolizing their old fans and, in the process, create new ones...purely out of extensive coverage. It's crap I know....but only the purists can differentiate this from the idiots out there who look to the media, mock or otherwise, as the word of the football gods.

Who are you reading mocks from?

If you're going to sites like NFLDC it has nothing to do with disrespect for the Chiefs...now they may think Pioli is a moron like the Walter site does, but all in all they want to get the pick right and if that means they give us a bad pick cause they think Pioli is stupid then they'll do that.

They just watched Pioli value the line so ridiculously in the past draft that they think he'll do that again.

it's not any conspiracy to want us to suck ... they just don't know what the hell pioli is gonna do.

none of us do yet

The media doesn't hate the Chiefs.
They are simply irrelevant on a national level because they haven't done anything for 40 years.

And that's totally understandable.

So some in the media are predicting the Chiefs organization to make bad/odd decisions come draft day?

I wonder what ever gave them that idea?

Well, its the Chiefs and they've been known to make bad personnel decisions over the years. Im thinking they feel it'll be no different this time around.
