That didnt help you but thanks for playing.
Its been fun.
Why dont you post Carls draft from 1989 when he had a top 3 pick...didnt think so.

Jesus dude, don't dig a hole for yourself and lay in it. Because Carl got lucky with Derrick Thomas, that's his saving grace? 20 years of horrible drafts, truly horrible drafts.

You can try to paint those drafts as worse, but they werent. We had a top 3 pick and got a good defender but not a top 3 kinda player at all. Im not sure I can remember a draft when a top 3 picking team took a player that wasnt even in the green room.

That's your criteria for a good draft? That the guy is in the green room prepping for a television appearance?

02 we drafted Sims and he busted, but he was a player than any team in the NFL would have made him their pick at that slot because he looked like a impact player coming out.

He played next to Julius Peppers, who was constantly double and triple teamed, and didn't do anything in his career until the Senior Bowl. It was a complete reach of a pick. That's the type of Carl busto drafts that make most of his drafts complete dog shit. The best player out of that draft was Scott Fujita, who was a steal in the fifth round. And guess what, by the end of year three, after he led the Chiefs in tackles for two straight seasons, Carl trades him for a SIXTH round pick.
He got studs in DT, Gonzalez. He got insanely lucky in Jared Allen, then traded him away by year three. They traded a guy who is considered elite as not only a pass rusher but as a complete defensive player as he was coming into the best years of his career. So they could give the money to Larry Johnson.
You want to know how bad Carl's drafts are? We have no players on our team from them.
2007: Only Dwayne Bowe remains.
2006: Tamba, Brodie and Page
2005: Johnson and Colquitt
2004: No one.
2003: No one.
2002: No one.
2001: No one.
2000: No one.
So, when the core of our team should be built from these drafts, we have an over achiever playing out of position at ROLB, a punter, a backup QB, an under achieving, part time, special teams linebacker, a hurt safety, and a wide receiver who can't run routes or hold onto the ball.
The 2008 draft was Carl's crowning achievement giving the team four starters in Dorsey, Albert, Flowers and Charles. And Charles has only been a starter for eight games, and Dorsey and Albert have been mediocre at best to this point. Flowers is a stud. (And considering that two of those players from that draft came at the expense of losing one of, if not the, best defenders/pass rushers in the league in Jared Allen...well, you be the judge of that transaction.)
That's it. An entire decade of drafts, and we have two legit high level players in Flowers and Charles, and Charles hasn't even started an entire season.
And that's the guy who you are attempting to defend? Yeesh.
