Players in this draft Vs. Last year

RustShack · 04-09-2009, 03:45 PM

Of the players in this years draft, who would have been high picks last year?

Honestly I think Stafford and Crabtree are the only two who could have been.

**doomy3** · 04-09-2009, 03:46 PM

I really think the tackles would have been right at the top, too

It would be interesting to see if someone wants to try putting up a top 10-20 using this year and last years players... just to kinda gage this years talent.

You never know with the LT's and QB's. Last year the Dolphins, Rams and Chiefs all could have benefited from a QB in the top 5. Atlanta is the only one that drafted one, but had Ryan, Stafford, Sanchez and Flacco been considered the top QB's of the draft you never know.

It's because of the positions people are looking at for this team...

The LT position is better on top, Smith and Monroe are both better prospects than Jake Long. If you put Ryan in the same class with Stafford and Sanchez they are all rated right together.

This class is very sad in general. 2010 will be awesome though. I would say this is a good year for WR's TE's and LB's. other than those positions. This draft sucks overall.

Mecca · 04-09-2009, 08:31 PM

Um the draft isn't really any different than usual it's just that the positions people want the Chiefs to pick don't have an elite guy so now we get "this draft sucks"

And probably the best year you could ever have for O-linemen.

Pretty good for linebackers as well.

This is why people are saying this...it's the things worthy of a top 5 pick..

Franchise QB, there's possibly 2 but the Chiefs ruined that themselves...
Top flight LT, there are these but we don't need one.
Pass rushers, there aren't any.
Elite freak WR, there isn't one of those.

Its amazing how great Chris Long and Vernon Gholston looked in last years draft and were not heard of during their rookie season.

this year? the tackles in this class are great, as well as the centers but not a single guard is worthy of a a top 50 choice.

Duke Robinson could be in that range
