And yes, Peterson has had much worse offseasons. 2004 was the worst of all time. How about the Chiefs going 13-3, then the Chiefs decide to fire Greg Robinson for Gunther Cunningham, trade down in the draft to take Junior Siavii, follow that up with Kris Wilson, Keyaran Fox, Samie Parker, Jared Allen (okay, one hit), Jeris McIntyre, and Kevin Sampson. In the meantime, they sat on their hands and even took a vacation in the opening weeks of free agency.

C'mon, Boss. Pioli has been bad... so far. But to compare him to Carl Peterson after one season is slightly ridiculous. You're better than that.

why is it ridiculous?

I find it funny that nobody responded with things they liked about what Pioli did, only slamming me for suggesting that Pioli did an equally horrid job in his first year.

Overall, I cant remember a offseason that was across the board as bad as 2009.

Can you?

LOL

I love how dishonest you can be to try to win a conversation.

The green room is the group of consensus top ten players from NFL scouts. They are the players that are considered the cream of the crop in that respective draft and Tyson was at home eating Cheerios.

If that isnt a microcosm of how bad the pick is, I dont know what is.

Spin it as unimportant as much as you like, you will be alone.

Go whack off to some Okung and Jackson videos.

2002 Draft

2001 Draft

What you also fail to mention was what we got for the missing spots and the production we got from those guys. Whenever you trade picks for vets, you lose years buy gain a good player.

Trent Greeen was the most productive NFL QB outside of Manning for 01-05 and it cost us a 2 and 3 in the 01 and 02 drafts.

I dont like trading picks for coaches, but giving up a first for a HOF level coach and a NFL icon that had taken every single team he ever coached to its respective championship game in college and the NFL wasnt as bad as some other moves.

You have to account for what we got from the picks we traded and adjust how effective that draft was for us.

But I agree with you CP had a better first draft pick than Pioli no question about it. DT is still my all time favorite Chief.

And I am not saying that Pioli's first draft was a success it is to early to tell but it sure isn't as bad as the 3 that I posted right now. Maybe 5 years from now it will be.

when you take into consideration what we got for the missing picks, none of those drafts were as bad. Vermiel was a vet coach and didnt care to develop players from scratch, trding for him was a statement that "we are gonna try to win one for Lamar"

it didnt work out, but at least we tried. The Jackson pick signified that we werent gonna try.

I think Magee will be a better player and we could have had him and Orakpo in the first.

We would be absolutely in love with Brian by now.

The Sims draft sucks because of Sims, he was a lazy jackass, but he was also the consensus pick at the time. I have a hard time faulting Peterson because NOBODY had Sims being that bad. Fujita is a better player than anyone that will come from the 2009 draft.

2001 is a completely lost draft, but IIRC, we gave up our 1st and 2nd pick in that draft for Vermiel and Green. Ultimately, I'd have preferred take Brees with the first but Vermiel wanted his guy and the trades weren't pure busts; they did make the Chiefs an enjoyable team again.

2000 is a defensible draft - Morris was going to be a good player but blew out his knee; shit happens. Wesley was a better player for longer than anyone we'll get from 2009 and Hall was an absolute difference maker.


Seriously, don't underestimate how stunningly horrible Scott Pioli was at every facet of his job last offseason. Carl Peterson never had an offseason as bad as the one Pioli just put out there as his first impression. From assembling a roster to assembling a coaching staff, one would be hard pressed to come up with a more epic fail than the one put forward by Pioli.

We dont agree often, but in this case we do 100%

take a picture.
