I've heard from several sources that there was a heated debate within the Chiefs when the #36 pick came up. Weis was adamant that Classen was the pick. Pioli and Haley still believe that Cassell can be the QB that we need and we can pass on Claussen at that pick. This was Pioli's decision. Pioli's top priorites were playmakers and to add team speed.



The Chiefs were told that Philly was going to pick McCkuster so they pulled the trigger at 2a. The plan was to drat him at 2B.



Many rumors that this is Haley's last year unless there is major improvement not just in the Cheifs record but the locker room and team chemistry. I guess there were a lot of locker room issues last season and that is also what is driving Pioli with the high charector players. Sorry, but I don't know the details, all I know is that there were many issues in the locker room and with team chemistry.

Why hire a OC if you arent going to listen to him?

If that's the case, then both Haley and Pioli should be fired.

You don't draft someone at 36 who you target at 50 because someone else covets him. You let the board come to you. You also don't believe the misinformation that is out there.

You also don't fill the team with inferior talents who have good character simply because the coach is losing control of the team. If the coach loses control of the team, you ****ing fire the sonofabitch, cut out the cancer, and bring in better players.

On top of that, if Pioli wanted to add team speed, why did he draft the slowest safety in the draft who does almost nothing well, and an OLB who could barely crack a 5-flat 40?

Either your source is off or Pioli is a complete idiot piece of shit.

Funny thing is Clausen went two picks ahead of KC? They traded all that for an injured tight end but didn't trade up for a franchise QB. This franchise is ran by morons.

Anybody with a brain knew Philly was going safety with that early 2nd round pick. They were so high on the safeties and worked out Berry, Earl Thomas and Nate Allen just like the Chiefs did prior to the draft. They were taking Nate Allen there, the last of the first round talent graded safeties, I'd imagine someone told the Chiefs that Philly was going to take McShitter and the Chiefs clearly got cold feet and shit themselves. I'm sure Philly might have been targeting him with their second 2nd rounder. Like the NFL network said, a team like the Eagles has the option to take a luxury pick that early, when you only win 4 games, there is no point in making that pick.

This is just a sad draft if its the case of the Chiefs front office protecting themselves, instead of going for clear best player available to your needs.

Sal Palontonio said the Eagles war room was ready to draft McCluster with that upcoming pick, and were stunned when we picked him.

He's usually very well connected to the Philly sports scene, so I think that info was fairly accurate. But who knows. Plus if that was a lie they wouldn't even bring it up, why do they care to rationalize our draft.

Pretty sure teams say stuff like this all time. They could have said that just so the Chiefs were forced to pick there rather than trade the spot away for someone to jump ahead of Philly to take Nate Allen.

Look at this way if the Eagles DONT leak that kind of information, true or false, than the Chiefs might think McCrapper would fall to us at 50, thus our 36 could have been used on another actual real need or a player that the fans wanted (like Clausen). I have no idea if this email is true or not, but it seems like they themselves know that it was a HUGE reach at 36 and they really arent trying to justify it other than with: "good dude great character loves to smile and will help dress KC Wolfe before the game!"

[The Bad Guy]

Interesting info. But the news I got tonight was that Weis had no desire to be reunited with Clausen.

I was also told that the coordinators absolutely have input into player picks. Crennel was all over Berry for example. He wanted to run his pro day because of how much Monte Kiffin hyped him to Romeo.

I also don't believe that Haley is on any sort of hot seat, nor that the locker room was a problem last year. The problem in the locker room was Larry Johnson. Players continued to play hard for Haley all year. I really think Haley is an ascending coach. Romeo and Charlie also would not have signed on if Haley was just going to be here one year. Charlie has no desire to ever be a head coach again so he's not angling for anything. Romeo might, but I'm pretty confident Pioli is staying the course with Haley.

I don't know, I guess because I don't think the Eagles picking the guy is that much of a stretch... they'd use him in a Westbrook role. He sounds like the perfect guy for that.

Yes, this is all true.

My best friend is a diehard Eagles fan. He told me earlier in the day they were targeting McCluster with their 2nd rounder they got for McNabb.

[DumbHillbillies]

Cassell is this regimes QB, win or lose, they have made their choice. OCs, coach offense and GMs have the final decision on players chosen.

[tk13]

Yeah, I believe teams leak info to try to manipulate other teams. But they wouldn't use Sal Paolantonio like that. What's he gonna do, run to the Chiefs and tell them the Eagles plan? He'd be froze out forever if he did that, and he was all over it the second we picked McCluster.

[tk13]

Do you know why Weis had no desire to be with Clausen? I find that pretty shocking.
