My grade of our first day: C+ - Page 3

Direckshun · 04-26-2008, 10:10 PM

I love the Chiefs, but I hated what we did our first day.

You can't criticize us in terms of value or talent -- we ended up with three of the most talented players from this weekend altogether. Dorsey was a brilliant pick, and probably the best possible option we could have had.

But Albert is completely unproven at tackle. Guard is an awful position to Draft nonetheless. Giving up two picks for him seemed like a disasterous decision. Flowers is incredibly talented but he's got so many character concerns my brain is exploding.

Here's hoping we continue drafting talented players. But here's hoping we avoid some of the sloppy decisioin making from an absolutely zany day one.

I really cannot believe that someone wouldn't be thrilled with what we did today. We got 3 guys that will start from day 1.....that.....is......huge.

And not simply because there's nobody in front of them...

I'm really really surprised that you didn't like this draft. What more could we have done?

**noa** · 04-27-2008, 12:33 AM

Direckshun, I really like you and respect your opinion, but you should at least show up to defend your opinion. People have brought up good points in this thread. It was a solid day. C+ is way too harsh...

I feel a lot better about you and I disagreeing about most everything in the mock draft thread. Our day is an A at worst and most likely an A+.

R U OK? "sloppy decision making?" ....... FYI Probably the BEST day 1 draft in recent memory. Hate to be graded on your teaching scale.

But I have been pimping Albert as an OT for a while now, though I didn't want to reach for him at 5.

I think he's going to be the best LT, along with Chris Williams, in this draft.
A potential perennial pro bowler.

That, combined with my belief that Herb Taylor is going to surprise most here and prove to be a really good RT, going into next year's draft, I won't be salivating over the prospect of drafting Oher like I would have been otherwise.
