Would you have Drafted differently?

[Direckshun]

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.

Early Doucet sucks.

Junior-59 catches for 772 yards and 8 touchdowns. Senior- 57 Receptions, 525 Yards, and 5 TD's. Yes, he sucks. Horrible numbers for a 2nd or 3rd receiver.

Doucet wasn't the value that Charles or Morgan were in the third round.

Not even close.

Sometimes, I really think that people here either didn't watch the Chiefs last year or they've forgotten that they lack talent and depth.

While it's *possible* that Doucet (even though he's small and slow) may turn into a decent NFL receiver at some point (and he had nagging injuries all last year), it's *likely* that Charles will see significant playing time this year. LJ is coming off an injury, Smith had a problem staying healthy, which is why we saw people like Gilbert fucking Harris run the ball.

Is that what you're advocating? Develop a slow, small receiver with a history of injuries instead of taking the stud RB who had a first round grade?

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]

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]

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.

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.

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.

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]

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.

Totally agree!! Nobody knows what LJ is gonna look like when we hit TC. Anybody willing to roll the dice that LJ is fine, and risk a full season of Kolby Smith as a feature workhorse is friggin nuts!!
