Pioli walked into the organization with a shitty team. He chose to go for Cassel, a proven guy from which he knows will play at a certain level instead of a college kid with one starting year under his belt.

He let TG go for a 2nd round pick next year in a draft that is expected to have more talent. I love TG but odds are the guy would have never worn a SB ring as a Chief. Pioli did both sides a favor.

I'm more than willing to let him build the team his way. It was never going to be fixed in two years and if you thought that you're a fool.

I totally understand being a Chief fan that you look at every move with pessimism but for Christ sakes after living through the Peterson years I'll give a guy with a proven track record a lot more time than 4 months.

From what I've seen of the first two rounds just be thankful you're not a Raider or Donk fan. I think those guys have real issues with the brains upstairs.
