But ****, why draft another defensive end when you have such glaring holes on the offensive line? I mean ****, Hootie! Did you see how poorly the offensive line has performed the past two years?
Okay, if we get past Magee (which to me is a mistake - either one or the other. Ty Jackson or Magee - not both). Donald Washington? What? Aren't Brandon Flowers and Brandon Carr & Chiefs rookie of the year, Maurice Leggett set? I mean, WTF?
And then, to top it off, they PASS on Jamon Meredith (Packers) for Colin Brown? A guy that didn't even have a profile at NFL.com on draft day? A guy that was rated at #58 overall among tackles? A guy that immediately proved he couldn't handle the tackle spot in pads and had to be moved to guard?
Come on, Hootie. Even YOU have to admit that a few of us around here knew the ****ing score.
And Pioli and Haley are paying the price.

I'm usually not a fan of drafting on need after the first round, but given the Chiefs' investment in a $60M QB and given the Chiefs' lack of effort getting any free agent o-line upgrades, you're absolutely right. I'm cool with getting Jackson and I'm cool with focusing on the D-line. But the fact is, not having an offensive line could injure our most important player. The D-line won't do that. I trust Pioli in the long-run, but think he whiffed big time here.
