I'm not excusing his horrible draft and he didn't begin to build the Chiefs the way I would have, but here is what Pioli said the day he was hired:
Q: How do you build a team, through the draft or free agency or a combination?
PIOLI: “I think the process begins by getting a better grasp on the talent that is here. We will be multi-tasking at the Senior Bowl and as we do our college evaluation. I want to get a better grasp on this football team and know these players that are here.
He also said: "This is going to be a very methodical process in building this football team, and we’re going to start from the ground up and build a foundation, move ahead, and touch every part of the football operation. The patience that I know Clark has told me he’s going to show it going to be rewarded."
People may not like it, but he started his GM responsibilities by talking about the evaluation of existing talent and he talked about patience and being methodical.
