Would you have Drafted differently?

3b. Kory Lichtensteiger, C
3c. Anthony Collins, OT
4. Dwight Lowery, CB
5a. Andy Studebaker, LB
5b. Owen Schmitt, FB
6a. Taylor Melhaff, K
6b. Colt Brennan, QB
7a. Chris Harrington, DE
7b. Eric Young, G

That is an awful, awful draft. I love Lichtensteiger, but he's a 6th round pick at best...we're just lucky Denver took him in the 4th. You picked Brohm 40 places above where he went, Sweed can't run routes, you should never draft fullbacks or kickers...just ugh.

That's a purely need-based draft and it's why we are in the position we currently are.

I was working from the basis that I didn't have hindsight, so I picked guys where I, Rain Man GM, would've picked them.

Give them a couple of years, and you'll see my genius.


And as a clarification, I'm not panning the Chiefs draft with this. I'm just saying that I, as a visionary and brilliant GM, would've gone with these guys.

To me, it just looks like a purely need-based draft. You managed to fill all the main holes, and you took guys way above where they actually went. It just reminded me of something the Vermeil teams would have done.

The guy on NFLDC was ripping on the 3rd round picks because they weren't major needs.....I like how they won't rip certain teams either.

Or someone who had the Dolphins in the planet mock.

Maybe if the Vermeil teams had extra brains grafted onto their shoulders from Nobel prize-winning physicists.

My draft represents the best of America. It would return us to the playoffs this year, and then probably a Super Bowl in 2009 once everything gels.
