Dorsey-"there are only 10-12 impact players in the draft"
 

@TerezPaylor: #Chiefs GM John Dorsey says there are 10-12 impact players in this draft.

Looks like a trade down is coming. Can you guess the 12 players?

Hopefully 10 of those are OL

"reach"

Convenient for a guy picking 18 to say


If we were picking 7, he'd have culled his list to five

Probably going to be one of the shittier drafts to have 7+ picks.

doubt a trade down. But its his way of justifying using a first rounder on another Eric Fisher/Dee Ford type who takes 2-3 years to develop rather than a guy that can come in day 1 and make an instant impact... but I expected nothing less from our first rounder cause thats ususlly the Chiefs Way

This. He's trying to entice a team to move up so he can get his wish and move down.

Look at Dorsey's two first round picks -

- Eric Fisher for Brandon Albert who was in his final year here
- Dee Ford for Tamba Hali that most everyone expected not to be here this season

Sean Smith is in his final year of his contract, and he's looking at a two game suspension to start the year. We're going corner in the first this draft, and Dorsey probably feels like he can nab one further down than where we are right now.

There are 12 impact players and we have 11 picks. I don't see the problem.

daniel jeremiah says there are 14-17 wow players in this draft if you include the 2 top runningbacks.

of course the Chiefs have the #18th pick with 17 max wow players in the draft :banghead:

yea his two first round picks who made zero impact as rookies for this team compared to players who were picked after that could have. Hes going to do it again.

and I like both players. Ive just accepted the fact that the Chiefs arent getting a year 1 impact talent

There are 12 impact players
The Chiefs pick at 18

I look forward to hearing something along the lines of

"He's one of the guys we felt would be an impact player, and we're thrilled that he was still there at 18".

some team will be stupid and draft offensive linemen before us. sorry, unless it's joe thomas, orlando pace, jon ogden or walter jones, an offensive lineman isn't 'wow' in any way, shape, or form.

Well, let's go up and get one of them then!

So then we're trading up
