Our F-ing draft!

We were all wrong. Some people need to just accept that.

This draft proved that we knew nothing, so arguing that there was better value is pretty stupid. Some people rattled off that the Moeaki pick was a bad pick. Judging by the way this draft went, how the **** could anyone know that? Those TE's that are supposedly better NFL prospects, didn't go very high, did they? So in the eyes of pro scouts, there wasn't much of a skill drop off if any.

In hindsight, the Chiefs upgraded the team. They went out and drafted potential stars; guys who make a difference. Guys who have to be accounted for, which we all agreed this team was lacking. Well...we got em. So now what is there to bitch about?

Surely you can't argue value, considering how the chips fell in this draft, we weren't the only team to pass on such "valuable" players like, admittedly, one who I lobbied for, Cam Thomas.

One important factor, that I feel gives reason to bitch, is that the guys picked in the 2nd round don't project to be full time starters. And it's still very questionable whether McCluster could handle the beating of being a full time starter with his size anyway. I know they've got talent. I'm confident that they can contribute, but I worry that a NT or LB would have been able to contribute more by being on the field a much higher percentage of the time.

Maybe their playmaking ability makes up for that. That's my hope at the moment.
