Dane, it's not about whether or not you agree with their decisions, it's the fact that you are chastising people for putting forth their concerns and marginalizing them just as you had been over the last year.

You know the Patriots drafted a guy who's failed multiple tests right?
I think there are some things to flag a guy for and it obviously cost him some rounds but damn that's a bit much, not everyone on the team has to be a captain. |

It's no different today. And as for the Cam Thomas schtick, I think it's hilarious that people can become so focused on one player that it consumes their thinking throughout the entire draft. OTWP contradicted himself (which I need to find) in which he disagreed with me concerning the paralyzation that can take place if you take a player with a trade up, which can result in missing on a player later in the draft. But later, he said that thinking like that is wrong. All I'm pointing out is that the player worship, in this case Cam Thomas, is completely unwarranted and out of control. We're not talking top ten talent. We're not even talking top one hundred talent. We're talking about a fifth rounder and criticizing the GM because he "lost out" by trading for HIS guy. That's silly. And complaining that your GM took playmakers yet didn't take YOUR GUY is tenuous at best and laughable at worst. I apologize if my attitude and viewpoint offends you. |

If you think the Patriots = the Chiefs, then every post you've made in the past 6 years is now and forthwith, invalidated.

****ing Irony. Dane has only started wounding anti-draft vaginas recently after he exhausted every single logical argument to support his stance. I may not agree with everything he said, but for you to chastise him for calling others is hysterical. I'll be honest and say that I have immensely enjoyed the back and forth discussions between you and Dane but this post you have just made switched the entire debate from issues of this draft to criticizing why you or him is saying this or that. Sofa King is a male whore. |

The thing I can't get over is that Pioli doesn't have a back up plan when Cassel fails, and since they don't they don't believe in Croyle we're ****ed. Pioli, is going to either live or die by Cassel's ability, because he is too stubborn to realize that it's possible that Cassel isn't "the guy".

This whole value chart deal is wrong. The mock drafts were wrong, and apparently, the skill level of the players that the Mike Mayocks of the world evaluated are all wrong. Apparently, according to teams like the Eagles, the McCluster pick is not a reach like we initially thought it was. But, Cam Thomas at 2a, or even Cody at 2a would've been a HUGE reach. We were all wrong. Some people need to just accept that.
This draft proved that we knew nothing, so arguing that there was better value is pretty stupid. Some people rattled off that the Moeaki pick was a bad pick. Judging by the way this draft went, how the **** could anyone know that? Those TE's that are supposedly better NFL prospects, didn't go very high, did they? So in the eyes of pro scouts, there wasn't much of a skill drop off if any. In hindsight, the Chiefs upgraded the team. They went out and drafted potential stars; guys who make a difference. Guys who have to be accounted for, which we all agreed this team was lacking. Well...we got em. So now what is there to bitch about? Surely you can't argue value, considering how the chips fell in this draft, we weren't the only team to pass on such "valuable" players like, admittedly, one who I lobbied for, Cam Thomas.

Mecca, Hamas, would you pm me your phone numbers? Just as soon as I get hired to run another NFL franchise, I want you two to head up my scouting department. We can build a great team with your extensive knowledge. We might have 53 QB's, but hey, lets roll with it.
