There’s so many available at 29-63 that it’s not just about need. This team can’t ****ing cover anyone. But by all means keep thinking like that.

hes not wrong and DJ isnt wrong either. There are multiple ways of drafting and not everything works. I would draft the more expensive skill position players in the first round unless the value just isnt there. I would never ever take a lineman in the first two rounds. How many championships did that Dallas line win, New England takes brokedicks and turns them into the highest paid player.

What’s that supposed to mean? Because I don’t want a first round center with gaping holes on defense and Reiter being more than serviceable?

A corner like Amani Oruwariye from Penn St, Justin Layne Mich St, or even a stud S like Chauncey Gardner-Johnson. It’s not hindsight since I’ve been wanting a corner or safety pairing with HB for awhile now.

I just don’t know how you can watch this defense fiddle **** around last year and think taking a center at 29 is fine.

It's the long game Dj is trying to play. It doesn't always work out, but the numbers say it's got better odds than reaching just for need. |

The problem with the secondary last season was not lack of talent, it was lack of coordination and communication. You have no earthly idea what 'this team' can do as it's never taken the field. But the starting defense wouldn't have been helped by taking a CB in the 2nd and the team at large would've been harmed by reaching badly for a 2nd round caliber corner in the 1st. Oruwariye is another mid-2nd talent who you guys would've never asked for but/for the fact that our secondary is perceived as a weakness. You're need drafting and little else. You've conceded that fact by saying you have already chosen your positions before the draft started (CB/S/HB). That's a good way to end up with a shitty team in not too terribly long.

That's another thing I look at with a first rounder. I want him to start immediately.
Unless you're getting one of the top 2 or 3 corners, or Adderley or maybe the s from Florida who's name escapes me, I don't know that I see a lot of secondary players stepping right in. Bradburry fills a hole with a blue chip player. Or alteast i'm guessing DJ has him as a blue chip player. |

It's a new staff, new scheme and with at least 2 new starters in the defensive backfield alone. What's the throughput? Most of the guys that are going to be key parts of the D next year weren't problems last season. Stop trying to pretend like the draft is a cure-all. It isn't and it never has been. I said this all the way back in the Pioli era - good teams do NOT deal with 'needs' in the draft. They deal with needs in FA and they use the draft to try to address situations before they become needs. If you're looking to fix immediate problems with draft picks, you're doing it wrong. The Chiefs have taken some steps towards helping this D and they've done it in a way where they can add complementary parts to the defense via the draft. Should the board fall in a way where need meets potential, then great. It didn't here, not in my book. I don't think Oruwariye or Layne are nearly the caliber of raw prospect that Bradburry is. So if I'm taking them instead of him, it's a purely needs based determination. That's how reach picks get made and they don't help the team in the long run.

That’s a joke of a secondary. I get scheme and coaching but goddamn that’s not what I’d do. I just hope this isn’t how it goes a month from now. You know your shit DJ I haven’t argued that. We just see things differently.
Taking CGJ isn’t a reach at all. He’s a stud that’ll instantly upgrade the secondary and allow even more versatility
