Your grade of each individual pick in our draft. - Page 6

Direckshun · 04-26-2009, 04:05 PM

Here goes...

1. DE Tyson Jackson, LSU - B

I understand the Chiefs had three options: (a.) trade down when nobody wants to, (b.) take a player at good value but zero need, or (c.) make a slight reach for extreme need. The last was the best choice here, but I thought Raji would have been the better pick. Nevertheless, it's hard to complain about the best pure 3-4 DE in this Draft.

3. DE Alex Magee, Purdue - A

This was solid value for a player that will help this team out every bit that Jackson will. Magee is a very high character guy that was born with a lunchpail mentality. I hesitate to say he's the 2nd best pure 3-4 DE in this Draft, but I can't name anybody but Jackson that's obviously better. He will likely start right away.

4. CB Donald Washington, Ohio State - B

Washington was great value, and if this was anywhere near being a need for us, this is an A. Simple as that. But there were so many OL and OLB available here that would have been great picks for us it's hard for me to get that excited about him. Washington should start over Carr on day one.

5. OT Cody Brown, Missouri - F

Thank god for Oakland... otherwise this would be considered the biggest reach of the draft. In the 5th round, that's incredibly hard to do. I don't know what Pioli sees in this guy to suggest he's a powerful run-blocker that could start on this team. I personally believe, right now, this guy can't be anything more than our third RT on the depth chart.

6. WR Quinten Lawrence, McNeese State - C

Not crazy about this pick, because I think there were better weapons on the board (but don't I *always* think that?). Still, Lawrence has outstanding speed and if he adjusts pretty well this year, should get some serious playing time next year. He is an intriguing prospect, easily the most interesting of everybody on this particular board.

7. RB Javarris Williams, Tennessee State - A

This was a great, great great great pick. This guy is a poor man's LJ. Which is ironic, considering that right now LJ is a poor man's LJ. This seals the deal for Two-Sev as far as I'm concerned. See ya.

7. TBA

I can't speak for many of the guys you listed, but Mecca said Robinson would be great value in the third.

I'm the only guy here who liked our 5th round pick aren't I?

Oops.

Funny you don't remember this since he was responding to YOU in this thread. Maybe you're just trying to be a douche? IDK.

Oh, and I did find a reply from milkman in that thread when someone specifically asked him what he thought of Duke. Since you listed him as one of the people who's opinion matters for some reason:

Do you need more proof?

I guess you don't understand the word "advocating".

None of these guys were waving the flag for Duke Robinson. When asked, they made comments. They weren't screaming for him in the second round, etc. And Milkman said he has a "chance" to be a helluva guard, when asked. Not that he IS a helluva guard.

Big difference.

Admit defeat and move on. This is just embarrassing.

Defeat?

Do you know what's embarrassing? The fact that a pussy like you makes stupid ****ing posts that constantly bash others for their opinion, yet bring nothing to the table.

THAT'S embarrassing.

Wow...not too many Colin Brown fans around here huh?

I am still of the opinion that a draft can't be graded for 3 seasons.

I dunno..he's enormous. Easily the biggest guy on our roster, and he's smart and has a mean streak. I think everyone is just pissed on the round he was drafted in, and not the actual pick. If we take him in the 6th round,or with any of our 3 7th rounders I don't think anyone is complaining.

It's just the general consensus that there were a ton of "better" options available at the time. In all honesty, it's a 5th round pick FFS. It doesn't matter who you pick up in the 5th, they're pretty much gonna flame out the majority of the time.

Anything past round 3 is pretty much a gamble.
