Right or wrong, your claims that my opinion is worthless don't carry a lot of weight when one considers your performance in this thread. |

You do understand he just made the argument that a 3-4 DE can warrant a Top 5 pick, after you've spent half the thread arguing that this can't be true... |

Since 2000...
These are the best picks and "foundational" players in the top 5 of the NFL Draft. Chris Samuels LT Justin Smith Julius Peppers Andre Johnson Eli Fitzy Rivers Mario Williams Joe Thomas Calvin Johnson Matt Ryan So you guys have too lofty of expectations... A small % of top 5 picks turn into franchise players... so expecting a Bruce Smith or Reggie White is flat out RIDICULOUS. Basically, you should be preying for Richard Seymour. If 1 of 3 of our top 5 picks turn into a franchise caliber player that would be about the right percentage for top 5 picks that turn out... Jury is still out on Tyson...hopefully he'll end up having a Seymour type impact when it's all said and done. |

Justin Smith probably doesn't even deserve to be in that group...I was pretty generous on him and Joe Thomas.

So basically 1 out the 5 top 5 picks turns out to be a pro bowl caliber player...
so expectations on this board, as usual, are ridiculous for drafted players...even ones drafted very highly. |

That's neither comprehensive nor nuanced. It's you throwing darts at a board to try to a) justify a bad draft pick and b) explain why teams usually don't spend top 5 picks on that position. You're drowning, son.

The importance of a 3-4 DE, obviously, based on history, is not reflected in the draft, you know, by real NFL GMs. I realize that Chiefs bloggers like you and Nick have your own perspective, but don't get butthurt when somebody points out that your out of phase with reality.

and another reason why getting a good QB isn't as easy as it seems...
Since 2000...the best top 5 picks at QB were Eli Manning, Philip Rivers (one draft) and Matt Ryan (can he win on the road??) I'd have to think the success rate on top picked QB's this decade was very, very low. Take a guy #1 and 20% of the time he works out QB wise...or so it seemed last decade. Maybe even lower... And Tyson Jackson is bad and all...but the Rams...yikes thank the lord they scored with Bradford (or so it seems)... They were similar to us and they drafted Chris Long and Jason Smith. |

and it's so hard to land a good QB in the draft...most of the time (as pointed out) it's failure...
yet the one guy who looks to be a total stud (Sam Bradford) was hated by our drafturbating geniouses!!!!!!!!! so... yeah |
