People aren't grading the careers of players - they're grading how a team drafted. The process, what they did with picks, etc...

So in that case, who cares if we don't have immediate impact players? If they turn in to excellent players a year or two from now then it will have been worth it. My only wish is that we could have traded Brandon Flowers. |

I'm not convinced the Chiefs front office thinks wr is a glaring need. I agree that our Oline is scary and the draft didn't do much to help in the short term.

can you say the Chiefs are the losers of the 2013 draft yet? Or do you need another year of bad tackle play and the rest on the injury report not contributing to believe it?

The only difference this year will be a 3rd round CB that is a $#itty tackler and a rotational pass rusher. Some people may think that's enough - I don't. And what's worse is our free agent approach + ignoring it in the draft tells me we probably won't be adding much even with the cuts to come...

Is this a serious question? Do you honestly think you can write that draft off after 1 year?

The timing of when you write a draft off doesn't matter. If they suck from day 1 they are going to suck in year 5. That's just the way the NFL is. |

So because it worked in 2009, it always works. Yeah, no.

and before you counter with, "that's a stupid way to look at it." take our 3 only good impact players that we got after 5 years of drafting. You could tell from day 1 that Berry, Poe and Houston were going to be good players, from day 1 to their 5th year in the league, it doesn't matter. Can you honestly say that about anyone we picked from 2009 to 2013 besides those 3?

What was the grade on Jamaal Charles after his rookie year?

The more I think about this draft the more sense it makes. We could have gone all in to compete next year, but we would have ****ed ourselves long term with the cap, and it probably would have been for naught anyway because the schedule is going to be so tough. Drafting for 2015 is probably the smartest thing we could do. This team has spent most of the past 20 years plugging holes, desperately trying to stay within spitting distance of 9 wins and a wild card. It's pointless.

The truth that accompanies a Draft as risky as this one is that people on both sides of the fence are salivating to either be right or wrong about Dorsey. His BPA seems to defy most others', so he is definitely putting himself out there to be judged. Which one will it be: right or wrong? Time will tell, but I respect a man sticking to his guns.
