Rick Gosselin draft grade: Chiefs get A+

[BossChief]

Im sure Ill get flamed again for this but I am actually quite happy that we have a situation like the one we have with Studabaker. His workout times were as good as any guy at the combine last year or this and he has been under the wing of one of the best linebacker to play in this system in the last decade or two to learn the intricacies of the position.

I think that when he is ready and takes over the spot, he will be a "unexpected star" of sorts and will seemingly "come out of nowhere" when in essence he has been part of (brace yourself) "the process"

To me, signing Vrabel to a 1 year deal was a sign that read something like "we really like Studabaker, but we feel he isn't quite "there" yet and we would like to see him learn some more from "our guy" while we can, because we feel the kid has a long term future here.
