Hey man, I wasn't a big fan of the Cottam pick, but I understand why you'd be enticed by him. Were I the Chiefs, I would have probably gone Reggie Smith, Zuttah, and then Morgan just based upon drafting BPA.
The only thing that sucked about that round is that Ellis went before our first pick, Smith right before our second, and Doucet right before our third. But we didn't panic.
With that being said, Morgan is still a great player, Charles fills a definitive need and was good value there (Detroit should have taken him @ the top of the round if they wanted a RB), and Cottam has great potential.
The reason why I think they passed on Zuttah is that they like what they have with Niswanger and Taylor, and given that we also picked up Albert and Richardson, you can't say that the cupboard is bare. We aren't going to trot out asshats like Svitek, Welbourne, Terry, and Turley this year. The o-line is already immensely more talented, healthier, and
younger.
