What would you consider to be a draft failure?

MGRS13 · 01-26-2005, 11:08 AM

If we don't get one of the following players in the first round of this years draft I will consider it a failure...
A. Rolle
D. Johnson
D. Pollack
E. James
M. Williams
Personally I think thats alot of wiggle room.

Offense in the first round.

JimNasium · 01-26-2005, 11:25 AM

I think I'll go out on a limb and predict this draft as a failure already.

if we get bad players. I'll consider it a failure.

jspchief · 01-26-2005, 11:31 AM

The name of the person we draft doesn't mean a damn thing to me. We could draft Rudy Ruetigger, and as long as he makes an impact on the field I'll consider it a success.

I'm sure I'll blow my top if we draft someone I don't like, but on the field actions make that all disappear. Jared Allen is the perfect example...I hated the pick at the time, and love it now that I've seen the guy play.

phisherman · 01-26-2005, 11:32 AM

considering that 3 of those guys are probably going to be top 5 picks, to you this draft will probably be a failure.

i'm just wondering if we'll actually pick a DE in the first...i'm thinking MLB or CB...

I think it's kinda silly to limit it to certain guys. You never know what going to happen.

For me, this draft won't be a success if we draft anything other than DE, LB, or CB in the first 2 rounds.

What if all those guys turn out to be busts?

Chiefnj · 01-26-2005, 11:37 AM

I'm hoping for Rolle, Johnson, Pollack or Edwards. I'd still be happy with Carlos Rogers or PacMan and a LB or DE in round 2.

CanadaKC · 01-26-2005, 11:44 AM

This is an easy question. For the Chiefs to keep surpassing a player with pure talent at his position...or a player that would fit perfectly with what we need. Darnell Dockett comes to mind from last year...he was taken in the third round...and could have easily played in KC...heck he wanted to play in KC. If we trade down again with a great player just sitting there....or draft another project or tweener...instant "F".

No matter what happens...this draft will be proclaimed a horrible draft.

We all know Carl will draft a safety and convert him to DB; and he'll draft some QB and convert him to Punter; and he'll draft some TE and convert him to WR; and he'll draft some LB and convert him to DE; and hire some high school chicks from the mall and convert them to cheerleaders. Don't get your hopes up.

HolmeZz · 01-26-2005, 12:06 PM

Erasmus James is a waste of space. I'd rather have Dan Cody.

As for who I'd settle for in the 1st, I'd have no problem taking Pac Man, Carlos Rogers, or Marlin Jackson if need be.

Um, you can't convert a safety to DB. A safety is already a DB.

CHIEF4EVER · 01-26-2005, 12:08 PM

Drafting another friggin safety. That would be an ENORMOUS failure and, I fear, our first round pick this year.
