And is it just me, or does WPI have a NY Giants fan for a moderator on their forums? Yeesh.

Yeah I wondered the same thing...

So you're saying that KC is doomed, regardless of who's running the show?

their 1st round picks haven't been that bad. Much better than ours, so we can't complain about them.

Lets have a little common sense here...

Guys would rather collect 8 times more as a 12th man in the NBA than bust their ass in the NFL and deal with all of the health risks later on in life for a fraction of the money that isn't guaranteed in the first place...

which is why Tony G always wanted to be in the NBA but he was never good enough...

In the NBA closed down for good and you could no longer make money playing professional basketball...the NFL would be taken over by NBA players...plain and simple...at least the skill positions like WR/TE/CB and possibly even LB and S and DE etc...

That's what I've come to expect, especially since joining this board.

I mean...

What are the odds anyone is happy after draft day this year?

I say 10%, tops.

I know you're all going to be pissed pretty much no matter what...

I'm still going to wait until about week 4 before I decide on whether or not I'm pro-Pioli or anti-Pioli...so stay tuned.

yeah but I count Randy Moss and Wes Welker as part of their draft picks for 2007...which I doubt you do...so you have to give them an A+++ there

That's pretty debatable, there's Wilfork and Mayo...but Maroney and Ben Watson..and there are several other very bland picks.

whoa, it was just a fantasy situation. Sure, business-wise for Lebron to go to the NFL would be dumb. But he loves football more than basketball, and it has always been a dream of his to play in the NFL. I was just saying he would be successful in the NFL.

Hootie · 03-01-2010, 05:06 PM

I just hope we take all of those black dudes at the combine with no tattoos...that would be my draft strategy if I were GM...

They have atleast had a rookie of the year. The closest one of our rookies has been to winning ROTY over the last 5 years was probably Succop.

Yeah...

I think successful is an understatement...

I think he would be unstoppable and he'd break a shit ton of receiving records and he would pretty much be the most valuable player the NFL had ever seen, maybe even including QB's...

That dude would just be an unfair advantage.

You could have the rookie of the year every year if you took a bunch of RB's and LB's that's not a good measure.

what's funny is...

guys like Maroney and Watson were considered good picks by the experts at the time...

Since he ran a good 40 I am pretty sure he will. I was hoping he was going to fall to us in the 2nd round.

I'll only be "pissed" if I'm right.

I have absolutely no problem admitting I'm wrong but when it comes to the 2009 draft, I was right about the quality of our draft.

I'm fully prepared for the fact that Pioli will draft against the strengths of the draft board. I just hope that this year, he's right.
