Would you have Drafted differently?

Direckshun · 04-29-2008, 01:33 PM

I'm not necessarily saying I'd do things differently, but here's an idea I thought I'd float out there:

Assuming the rest of the Draft played out the way it did...

1. DT Glenn Dorsey
1. OT Jeff Otah (no trade up)
2. DE Quentin Groves
3. MLB Dan Connor
3. WR Early Doucet
3. DB Tyvon Branch
4. C Kory Lichtensteiger
5. OG Roy Schuening
5. QB Josh Johnson
6. OT Barry Richardson
6. DE Chris Harrington
7. CB Wilroy Fontenot
7. RB Allen Patrick

1 QB
1 RB
1 WR
4 OL
3 DL
1 LB
2 CB

*scratches head* It's really hard to complain about the Draft we ended up with.

Coming from the guy who rated our first day a C or C-. It's not surprising you would change our picks.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooook

Early Doucet sucks.

bdeg · 04-29-2008, 01:49 PM

Otah is a RT. I'm glad we have Albert.

I'm also glad we went with Flowers.

I like Conner and would love to replace Harris, but I think Charles is too hard to pass up there too.

Doucet and extra OL are a plus.

**PHOG** · 04-29-2008, 01:58 PM

I thought they might take Conner there, but I have no complaints with Charles.

Also, they must be content with the bodies we have on the OL, to have only taken 2.

**The Franchise** · 04-29-2008, 01:59 PM

Ok...I'll do it like this then. I'm not able to draft any of the people that we drafted after the 1st round.

1a. Glenn Dorsey - DT
1b. Brandon Albert - OT
2. James Hardy - WR
3a. Reggie Smith - CB/S
3b. Antwuan Molden - CB
3c. Craig Stevens - TE
4. Tashard Choice - RB
5. Carl Nicks - OT
6a. Taylor Melhaff - K
6b. Chris Harrington - DE
7a. Adrian Arrington - WR
7b. Geoff Schwartz - OG

Dan Connor doesn't fit the Chiefs defense at all........I don't know why it is so hard for people to understand that.

To play MLB in a cover to you have to be able to drop deep in coverage and be good at it, that is his biggest weakness. Connor isn't a 3 down LB either, he's a 2 down thumper.

Basically picking Connor would have been taking his biggest weakness and asking him to do it all the time as his job.

Mr. Arrowhead · 04-29-2008, 02:22 PM

yea isnt that why we got rid of Kawicka Mitchell, because his cover skills were shit

Oh, my bad

...well he sure had some of these mockers fooled, if he wasn't taken 'til the 3rd. I didn't see 1 mock that didn't have him as late 1st early 2nd.

Besides, I want one of the MLBs in next years draft.

And I don't give a **** if they fit the cover 2 or not.

B_Ambuehl · 04-29-2008, 02:35 PM

I was EXTREMELY upset about the 3rd round....the first 2 picks had me throwing shit across the room. DaJuan Morgan quieted me down a bit but those first 2 picks were throways. Jamal Charles type guys are luxuries which we can't afford and the TE goes against everything that Herm preaches about the draft....He hasn't produced, has had more surgeries than touchdowns, and if he doesn't run a 4.6 he's more of a 7th round guy.

Mecca · 04-29-2008, 02:38 PM

We'll see, there's a reason Doucet fell, it also doesn't help that he's short and he's not fast. He'll look really good playing the slot with the best WR tandem in the league but I'm not exactly sure he's anything more than a slot.

**the Talking Can** · 04-29-2008, 02:51 PM

the only real moment where the draft could have changed, imo, was in the second with Brohm sitting there...

i could certainly understand taking that shot....part of me still wishes we would have...hell, Green Bay has a better young QB than us and they took him...

otherwise, its just personal preference...i'm sure lots of people would taken someone besides Cottam etc...

that's where I disagree, you can never have enough talent...and Charles was clearly a better talent than any OL left at that point...

RBs get injured all time...and this guy gives a home run threat we lacked with potential to grow...

i love that more every day

B_Ambuehl · 04-29-2008, 03:31 PM

That's the same excuse Okland would give for their decision to acquire a team full of high priced free agents and combine superstars at every position except for defenisve and offensive line. "You can never have enough speed or talent at the skill positions".

More often then not that approach gets you nowhere. What yo udont hear about is how New England traditionally drafts more offensive lineman year in and year out than any team - there is something to be learned from that approach.
