Are You Smarter Than A Pioli? -2010
 

Place the picks you would have taken with the Chiefs picks based on who was available at the time. This should be a fun thread to bump in a year or two to see how we would have done. No trades, you just pick from the list of players available when the Chiefs picked.


1. Eric Berry
2A. Jimmy Clasen
2 B. Golden Tate
3A. Jon Asamoah
3B Dennis Pita
5A Cam Thomas
5B Matt Tentant

I'm going to do three of them. One with Clausen and one without. I think Clausen is a franchise QB but I know people will just chalk it up as me being a Notre Dame fan.

With Clausen:

1. Eric Berry
2a. Jimmy Clausen
2b. Sean Lee
3a. Jon Asamoah
3b. Marshawn Gilyard
5a. Cam Thomas
5b. Matt Tennant

Without Clausen:

1. Eric Berry
2a. Sergio Kindle
2b. Golden Tate
3a. Jon Asamoah
3b. Bruce Campbell
5a. Cam Thomas
5b. Matt Tennant

and a 3rd without the trade for Moeaki (because I'm bored as ****).

1. Eric Berry
2a. Sergio Kindle
2b. Golden Tate
3. Jon Asamoah
4. Jason Fox
5a. Cam Thomas
5b. Matt Tennant
5c. John Skelton

.

I agree with Pestilience...we should proceed as if the trade for the TE had not occurred, because I think that move was...well...unconventional.

I'll stick to the actual picks we ended up with, except for one change - if we were going to trade back into the 3rd, I would have traded higher and gave up our 5a pick instead of moving up 10 or so picks and using 5c to do so.

With that said, I'm torn on two options:

1. Eric Berry - FS

2a. Sergio Kindle - OLB

2b. Terrence Cody - NT

3a. Jon Asomoah - OG

3b. Donald Butler - ILB

5a. Chris Scott - RT

5b. Matt Tennant - C


OR


1. Eric Berry - FS

2a. Sergio Kindle - OLB

2b. Sean Lee - ILB

3a. Jon Asomoah - OG

3b. Mardy Gilyard - WR

5a. Chris Scott - RT

5b. Matt Tennant - C



I think I like the 2nd option better, because we can get a NT late or in FA, our LB corp is seriously upgraded, as is the entire right side of the OL, and the WR3/KR is taken care of with one pick instead of two.

It's easy for me to sit here and say I would take Berry, but I didn't think Clausen was going to fall into the 2nd. So I'm not going to taint it with hindsight.

1. Jimmy Clausen - Potential franchise QB.
2. Terrence Cody - Run stuffing NT.
2. Golden Tate - Perfect slot WR, perfect fit with OC and QB.
3. Morgan Burnett - Gotta get a safety who doesn't run a 4.7
4. Darryl Sharpton (finally someone from the U) - Corey Mays goes to the bench.
5. Perrish Cox - He'l fight for the nickel CB job. Freak athlete.
5. Mitch Petrus - Competition at guard. Strong as an ox.
5. Cam Thomas - might as well get some depth and/or hedge your NT bet.
6. Sam Young - watch him beat out O'Failaghan.

In a perfect world, where I know Clausen is dropping.

1. Eric Berry
2. Jimmy Clausen
2. Terrence Cody
3. Donald Butler - an even better replacement for Mays.
4. Bruce Campbell - Could have really sweet bookends with he and Albert. I might take Jacoby Ford here, too.
5. Perrish Cox
5. Mitch Petrus
5. Cam Thomas
6. Sam Young

1. Okung (OT)
2. Taylor Mays (I noticed no trades were allowed in this thread, otherwise I would take seattle's deal with the broncos)
2b. Golden Tate (WR)
3a Asomoah (G)
3b Everson Griffin (DE)
5a Cam Thomas (DT)
5b Larry Asante

Smarter than Pioli? Sure, if were talking aviation...

But when it comes to the draft and running and NFL franchise, seeing how is doing it and were just message board GM's... I would say he trumps us every single time....

I agree, it's just a thread to come back to and see what posters said for this draft, so when they are saying player A will be a bust or player B will be a pro bowler we can check their track record.

Herm did too then.

And boom goes the dynamite.

Where are you getting a 6th round pick from?

He gets a comp pick for being a message board GM.

1. Eric Berry
2a. Taylor Mays
2b. Terrence Cody
3. Asamoah
4. (No Trade) Bruce Campbell
5a. LeFevour
5b. Rolle

3 safeties?
