Tournament: Worst Draft Choice of Peterson Era - Page 2

**OnTheWarpath15** · 12-13-2006, 09:42 AM

With the usual hate towards King Carl, especially this time of year with our hopes dashed once again, I thought we could take some time the rest of this month to make it official:

Who is the worst draft pick in the Carl Peterson era?

CP has been responsible for 18 years of Chiefs drafts. (1989-2006) To do it right, and vote for each year first, then have a playoff, would take forever. So in the interest of saving time, I've gone ahead and made a list of the worst draft pick each year. This thread will be the place to make an argument for a different player. Draft history can be found at:

http://www.drafthistory.com/teams/chiefs.html

Once it looks like we've come to an agreement on the representatives for each year, the voting will begin. Each day, I'll post a poll with two years facing off against each other. The winner moves on to the next round, bracket style. The matchups will be as follows:

1989 v 2006

1990 v 2005

1991 v 2004

1992 v 2003

1993 v 2002

1994 v 2001

1995 v 2000

1996 v 1999

1997 v 1998

Here are (for now) the finalists:

1989 - Mike Elkins QB R2
1990 - Fred Jones WR R4
1991 - Harvey Williams RB R1
1992 - Matt Blundin QB R2
1993 - Lindsay Knapp OG R5
1994 - Bracey Walker DB R4
1995 - Trezelle Jenkins OT R1
1996 - Dietrich Jells WR R6
1997 - Pat Barnes QB R4
1998 - Rashaan Shehee RB R3
1999 - Mike Cloud RB R2
2000 - Sylvester Morris WR R1
2001 - Eric Downing DT R3
2002 - Ryan Sims DT R1
2003 - Julian Battle DB R3
2004 - Junior Siavii DT R2
2005 - Craphonso Throrpe WR R4
2006 - Marcus Maxey DB R5

Montana did'nt go until the latter rounds of the 1979 draft.

We took blackledge over Moon, Marino and Kelly I do believe.

(Poor a little more salt in that wound)

I'll second the Trezelle Jenkins nomination.

Ryan Sims, Eddie Freeman, and Junior Siavii are all running neck-in-neck for second.

Hell, I'll even throw in a Matt Blundin. One of the first of a long list of spectacular second round flame outs for King Carl.

Don't worry, Redrum, I'm gonna do a Best CP Draft pick Tournament too.......

Just thought I'd go this route first since everyone is in a foul mood missing the playoffs again.....

What part of Trezell Jenkins is it that you don't understand?

**OnTheWarpath15** · 12-13-2006, 09:57 AM

Eddie Freeman and Ryan Sims were in the same draft class.

Sims wins in my book.

Keep in mind, I'm actually going to post polls daily once we can confirm the list I made.....

Chief Chief · 12-13-2006, 09:59 AM

My top 5:

1. Jenkins
2. Blundin
3. Elkins
4. Downing
5. Walker

You! You are the one who is high.

Elway, Eason, Kelly, O'Brien, Marino, and we picked Blackledge.

Though we did get Albert Lewis in the 3rd.

Redrum_69 · 12-13-2006, 10:02 AM

Why playoff bashing...Chiefs arent out of it yet.

Just wait...San Diego wants to get even for the "being soft" comment we gave them after we won last time.....but I'm telling you that we will win the next three games...we will be a wildcard team.

San Diego is going on a three game slide starting this weekend...

KC will limit Ladainian to only 56 yards rushing...with 22 attempts..and no touchdowns.

LJ will have three rushing touchdowns and 199 rushing yards

Gonzalez will get two touchdowns

Chiefs 38
Chargers 17

Having someone here that knows what he's talking about (me).

**Baby Lee** · 12-13-2006, 10:02 AM

And the winnah is, hands down, Sims.

The others might have been lumps, but they weren't lumps picked in the part of the first round where we only get to once in a blue moon, where the previous times we got there we got DT and Gonzo.

Personally I wouldn't call anyone drafted later then the 3rd round a bust and would therefore not be eligible for this question.

That said I'd say Sims has to be the winner. With all due respect to Jenkin's bustage, Sims was a 6th overall. Jenkins was a 31st overall pick.
