Is Darren McFadden a better back for the Chiefs than LJ?

I think that remains to be seen, I think Williams could end up being pretty good. That could also be more hoping then knowing though. I am not convinced about Ghoulston at all, he has not impressed me enough to be a top 5 pick. So tell me this would Ghoulston be a better upgrade for us then Dorsey would be? We have so many areas of need why not take a position that compliments more positions i.e. DT makes LB's look better, and if they get pressure they make the CB's look better. Build both lines first, then pick up skill players, that is the way to build a team. The game is won in the trenches.

I'm not arguing Gholston vs. Dorsey. I'm arguing that not drafting whatever position because "we're all stocked up" is freaking stupid.

I am arguing that I think it is freaking stupid to draft at a position where it is not the best upgrade for your team. Especially, when the better upgrade would be a player that has proven himself to be dominant and the other player has not.

You need to stop focusing on "best position". There is no best position. On a team this shitty, there are only "best players". If Gholston is the best player they can get where they're drafting, they should draft him.

Number 1, I think Dorsey or Ellis is better then Ghoulston. So, I am for drafting the best player available.

Number 2, You draft the best player available that will do the most to upgrade your team. If you have two players of equal ability at different positions you draft the position that will be the best upgrade for you team. If you have mediocre LB, and suck as DT/OT/OG/CB/DE you draft a player in the latter of the group. That makes the best sense for your team.

I've already explained I'm not arguing Gholston vs. Your Favorite Player. I don't care about that argument. You apparently think this team is serviceable at one or more positions. It really isn't. It just isn't. The DL is not good, the LB corps needs a lot of help, the secondary is a shambles. It literally doesn't matter what position they choose in the draft, they all suck. Stop trying to get this team back to 8-8 as quickly as possible, it isn't going to happen this year, probably not next year either.
