NFL Draft Kiper: Chiefs should take Te'o with 1st pick - Page 5

Marco Polo · 11-15-2012, 02:22 PM

Sorry if repost; per Rotoworld:

ESPN's Mel Kiper believes the Chiefs should select Notre Dame ILB Mant Te'o with the first overall selection, if they end up with it in April.

Kiper explains this decision by saying no top quarterback stands out at the top and the Chiefs do not need pass rushing help from the outside linebacker spot due to Tamba Hali and Justin Houston already being on the roster. We believe one of the quarterbacks will separate themselves during the pre-draft process, and also disagree that an inside linebacker should be selected in the top five.

Eh, if that were the case, most of us would be over it by now.

Who does the best QB in this class compare to? I think that is what you have to ask yourself.

To me, Tyler Wilson is the best QB and he compares to Jay Cutler. I'm not taking Cutler #1 overall.

I will agree with Mel Kiper that Manti Te'o is the absolute best bet on landing a perennial pro bowler in this draft.

Doesn't change the fact that you don't take him if you're KC.

If you want him so badly, trade your next first and Dwayne Bowe to St. Louis for one of their top 10 picks and draft him AFTER you get Geno Smith.

You are just so very wrong all the time. Why do you post such jackass opinions when you are so very wrong?

Chiefs Pantalones · 11-15-2012, 03:44 PM

**** Mel Kiper. Draft a QB or heads will be decapitated.

I agree and I want KC to take him badly. The problem is that we probably won't be able to trade Bowe unless we tag him a second time and it would cost a fortune if we couldn't trade him. We would probably have to either give up future picks and/or other players.

What am I wrong about? Who does your guy compare to? This is the Bill Parcells test. If you can't think of anyone that a guy compares to, you do not take him. It's a ledgit question imo.

Why was that opinion a jackass opinion? Can you really say that yet? Some people are comparing Wilson to Favre.

On the NFL draft breakdown on ESPN, Mel stated that Stanzi will have the BEST NFL career of all the quarterbacks in the years draft.

He nailed that one too.

He's being different so set himself apart, blowing smoke up his own ass.
This what Kiper does, it's how he's managed to get himself paid handsomely all these years for doing nothing all year but talking about the draft.

Everyone knows Kiper is a douchbag. That said, As a Broncos fan would you be more worried if we took Te'o or one of the QBs #1 overall?

Entertainer.

So was #4 overall 2009 ILB, Aaron Curry.

He was traded just two years later for a 7th round pick.

ILB's are not valuable pieces. If Te'o goes in the Top 3, that team is grossly overpaying, Pro Bowl or not.
