Some idiot will always be on here defending the pick too. Check out Benny Pollard thread, which is even more indefensible than this pick.

Whatever. You had people whining about picking Derrick Johnson last draft, and trading a 2nd round pick for a Pro Bowl CB in Surtain. You mean to tell me that Pollard is already a bad pick? According to who? You don't know anymore about Pollard then the rest of us. As I said before, I think I'll take Herman Edwards opinion of a DB (considering he played in the DB in the NFL and all..) over anyone on this board.

I was not one of those people. Last year was the first good draft we've had in a long time.

I've got nothing against Pollard personally, he just duplicates positions that we already have (SS) and doesn't fill our extreme need (CB)

I'm not sure CB is more of a need than a safety is. Even if KC were to draft Youboty, he would be lucky to play as a dime CB. I'm not sure he could beat out Walls, Battle, Sapp, Johnson, Hodge, etc. At least not immediately. Same goes for Pollard. Obviously there was a need for some CB depth, and a need for some safety depth. The KC war room must have felt that Pollard as the safety depth was better than Youboty being a Dime or Quarter CB.

You have to understand that Pollard is a phenom on special teams according to most. Maybe they felt Pollard brings more instant impact to the present?

We shouldn't be drafting special teamers in the 2nd round. That's what the fifth round is for.

Most 2nd rounders always come in and play Special Teams. You missed the point however....Youboty or Pollard, they both are just depth for the time being.

moving up like ATL did and taking Jimmy Williams wouldn't have been depth. He'd have started for us, hell he'll probably start for ATL.

Did you happen to watch our special teams last year?
