not to mention that even if McCluster is Reggie Bush-ish ... 1st round talent that fills a need > 1st round gadget talent.

I'm just saying, gadget picks like Bush have been taking high. And I believe Sproles was getting serious offers for second round picks. So the idea that it's so outlandish for "gadget" guys like this to go in the second round is ridiculous. Almost everybody had McCluster going in the high second round. Not a single person outside of KC thinks this is a reach.
And you have to stop acting like we have to do everything to build for now. Do you think McCluster won't be here in 3-5 years? Why is it so urgent that we have to, have to, have to build a hole-free defense now. Today.
Was he a reach? No. Will he get significant playing time? If he plays to his potential, yes. What's the big ****ing problem? It's not like we're talking about Tyson Jackson, where we picked 10 picks or so above the slot. We picked a guy right where he was slotted. The only reason you're upset is because it doesn't match your personal evaluation of the player. You have no idea what Weis wants to do with McCluster. You have no idea what kind of sets he wants to feature him in. Therefore, you and I both have no clue what value McCluster brings to this team. Only Pioli, Haley, and Weis know.
