NFL front offices are notoriously conservative, that's why the pick didn't surprise anyone. Just once, it would be nice to see the Chiefs do something BOLD instead of something safe... |

You've spent several days defending Dorsey and his approach.
If the rationale behind selecting Fisher is as you've described it, Dorsey isn't what you've been trying to say he is. You can't have both, the two are mutually exclusive. |

We should see how good any of us are at making the number 1 pick. (I will be the first to say that I will completely suck at it as I don't watch a lot of College FB.) But I'll give it a shot. We should all pick who our 1.1 would be in this upcoming draft. At the end of the year, anyone who's number 1 selection isn't a pro-bowl player then they have to put the words "draft failure" on their avatar. Anyone who's pick does make it to the probowl would put up "draft god" over their avatar. Or some variation of those terms.

They had far more glaring needs than LT last year. Limiting the comparison to just LT is disingenuous. They could have literally had any player at any position. They took Fisher.

There has been an extremely small sample size of evidence thus far...

It's also disingenuous to assume you know about a situation when you have zero intimate knowledge of the situation.

The judgement of Fisher should begin this year. He'll have had a real offseason to get bigger and he will be playing at his natural position that he's learned for years.

Preaching to the wrong guy. I hate the pick. I wanted geno then and in hindsight wish it was Richardson . I am just saying if we took a left tackle, Fisher was the best option.

I'm ok with the approach Dorsey and Reid are taking... yes. I think they did what they needed to do last year to put a competitive product on the field. And this year they are tyring to be smart in order to keep a competitive product on the field for the foreseeable future. I think it was widely believed that Fisher or Joeckel were the best available players and Dorsey picked one of them up to better strengthen his team. Because Fisher isn't all what we want him to be now, doesn't make my stance on Dorsey's direction for the team "mutually exclusive". So far, he's doing a pretty decent job.

So we took someone at first overall who wasn't physically ready to handle the nfl, and some people aren't upset with te pick?
