Football Prisco grades the first round (not kindly for the AFC West)...

No. 5: Chiefs select: Eric Berry, S, Tennessee
Analysis: I think this is too high for a safety. The value isn't there at that position. They have other needs. I just don't think he's worth a top 5 pick. He's good. But he isn't great.
B-

No. 8: Raiders select: Rolando McClain, ILB, Alabama
Analysis: He's a good player, but is there value there? They could have taken a premier pass rusher. They do have troubles with the run defense, but Jason Pierre-Paul was a better pick.
C+

No. 12: Chargers select: Ryan Mathews, RB, Fresno State
Analysis: They wanted a back, and went and got one. This is high. You don't trade up to get a back. He's just not worth it. They could have waited until the second round. Backs can be found later.
C-

No. 22: Broncos select: Demaryius Thomas, WR, Georgia Tech
Analysis: He is a good player coming off a leg injury. The knock on him is that he didn't run a lot of routes at Georgia Tech. But he can. He fills a big hole.
B-

No. 25: Broncos select: Tim Tebow, QB, Florida
Analysis: By far and away the worst pick in this draft. Wow. How can you justify trading away Cutler and picking this kid. He's a fifth-round pick -- at best. Now we know why Josh McDaniels will last one more year in Denver. Horrible. Just horrible.

Pete Prisco being a dickhead - A+

**** off and die already Prisco. Nobody gives a shit about what you think.

aturnis · 04-22-2010, 11:34 PM

Wow, Berry right now is poised to be better than good. All the cards read great in his future.

Also, anyone who says JPP would be a better pick is an asshat. JPP is the kind of 1st round pick I hate, all potential. The higher a players "potential" the more likely he is to bust. Potential, is something that is not there, but likely could be. If it ain't there now, it probably ain't coming.

kcpasco · 04-22-2010, 11:35 PM

How can the value not be there at safety in this pass happy league?

KurtCobain · 04-22-2010, 11:36 PM

Right about everything but Lord Berry.

T-post Tom · 04-22-2010, 11:37 PM

Glad Prisco isn't on Pioli's staff. (Insert dick joke here.)

keg in kc · 04-22-2010, 11:38 PM

It was a risky pick. Safeties don't go that high. He's right about that.

But I also think it was a no-brainer. Who else would make sense? Okung? Shoot me now.

Chiefshrink · 04-22-2010, 11:42 PM

Hey, PRICKSKO ask the Ravens IF Ed Reed added value for the Ravens in the last 10ys!! Damn guarantee you if they had our pick at 5 and had the chance to take Ed Reed again they would do it at 5 as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Walter Football gave out the following grades:

Chiefs: B
Chargers: B
Broncos: Thomas F
Tebow: Too biased
Raiders: Millen

lostcause · 04-22-2010, 11:47 PM

Prisco has always been an idiot. I am sure the only player we could have drafted to garner an A in his eyes was Okung. I mean, the guy gave the Raiders a C+ for McClain, which I thought was a surprisingly good pick. And he gives the Hawks a B+ for Earl Thomas primarily because they drafted Okung earlier in the first round.

beer bacon · 04-22-2010, 11:49 PM

Why draft the 2nd best player in the draft when you can reach on a much less talented player at a much "safer" position? Prisco is a genious.

Walter has had a hard on for us taking an OL the last few years.... I really don't buy in to a lot of the bullshit he puts on that site

Agreed BUT Berry is such a multi-dimensional player that can provide soooooooooo many different defensive schemes,blitzes etc...... A safety that sees his position as not only as a defensive player but sees himself as offensive threat at all times looking to take the ball away and score literally on every play. A player that can truly cover like a CB and hit and tackle like a LB that looks to create a turnover and score on every play who likes to hang out and help the Equip guys. That is a coache's WET DREAM!!!

Chiefshrink · 04-22-2010, 11:54 PM

The best part is that this in NO WET DREAM this is the REAL DEAL!!!!
