So we draft for need and we get Tyson Jackson, Colin Brown, and Jake O'Connell. Drafturbators bitch.

We draft BPA and playmakers and drafturbators bitch.

I'm confused. What should we do exactly?

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 04-23-2010, 11:06 PM

I'm just saying, we have Charles. We signed Thomas Jones. And then drafted a RB to be a slot receiver all while WR's with a 1st round grade were still on the board.

We have a home run threat in JC. We don't have a nose, and we don't have a decent rush backer. We have core positions that desperately need to be filled.

He's going to have to score on every play, considering our front 7 is the same as last year - you know, the one that gave up 26 PPG?

There were defensive players available that would have had a greater impact overall on this team than a part time, project WR.

This.

People act like Jamaal Charles isn't on the ****ing roster.

Meanwhile, Jerome Harrison just scored again.

Jamaal Charles is a RB. McCluster will be a WR. Whether you agree with what they're doing or not, they will be playing different positions.

Your comparison is moot.

Aren't some of these people who are bitching also the same people who would have been OK taking CJ Spiller with a top 5 pick this year?

However, when you have gaping holes in your front 7, and you pass on these players at some point in the night:

Everson Griffen
Daryl Washington
Koa Misi
Sergio Kindle
Linval Joseph
Sean Lee
Terrence Cody
Major Wright
Chad Jones
Donald Butler

And come away with a project slot WR, a nickle corner (after drafting one last year) and a broken TE, who you traded up for, again, after trading up for one LAST YEAR, you've done a piss-poor job, IMO.

We took part time luxury players, while the board was falling perfectly to take impact players at positions of desperate need.

You couldn't have asked for a board to fall any better than it did tonight, and we ****ing blew it.

Take 4 guys off of that list - any 4 - and this defense is set for a decade.

Instead, we still have the worst front 7 in football.

Inexcusable.

I understand what you're saying and don't necessarily disagree.

But I'm going to give Romeo Crennel the benefit of the doubt. There is some young talent on the defensive side of the ball. Free agency isn't over. There will be guys cut in training camp that can help the Chiefs.

The bottom line to me is that yes, I expected the Chiefs to shore up the middle of the defense, but I also believe that homerun playmakers on offense and the return game have been lacking for years and years.

And I'm not bummed about Arenas or Moeaki.

Yeah, either that or the 4 first round picks they already have up there can start playing up to their ****ing paycheck.

we could have easily traded up to get hughes, the best/second best 3-4 OLB in the draft and a true pass rusher....a 4th or less

then take linval/cody or tate with 2b

You'd have solved the core positions on defense and have improved at every level

Berry
Hughes
Linval/Cody
Assmooga

all 4 immediate starters...all proven talents at their positions...that is a Gold Star draft and you didn't reach just to make Cassel happy

instead we got a midget nickle cb and a slot receiver/converted hb/midget

I guess I'm no longer a drafturbator this year because while I certainly could have seen the Chiefs go a different direction with their picks, I'm not unhappy, whatsoever.

How is 5'9, 199 a midget yet a 15 year player in Ronde Barber, at 5'10 184 isn't?

Come on guys, there are bigger fish to fry.

The vid of McCluster's touches against Tennessee actually IS still online. I'm new here so I can't post links yet, but go to vimeo.com and type in Dexter McCluster and it is the only video that pops up.

I can't start threads either, but it'd probably make a good thread because the vid focuses solely on Dexter's 25 or so touches that game, his good ones and bad ones and shows his style, etc.

If not a new thread, perhaps someone could embed it below.

Interesting, considering who's ass these picks are covering.

Hint: The highest paid player on our roster.
