[SPchief]

We know the 1st two picks. After that? Lets Go!



EDIT:

USE SPOILER TAGS IF YOU ARE POSTING A SPOILER... SUCH AS A TWEET... before the pick is in and shown on NFL/ESPN.

It works like this

Spoiler!

You suck if you can't figure this out.

Who did we draft beSides Poe?

[the Talking Can]

way to go oakland

[ChiefMojo]

Well if we would have picked the same guys the Steelers or Ravens did, you would have pissed and moaned Pioli picked them to Talking Can but don't let that get in away of your crying... your as much of a f**king pussy as 58 sometimes.

Allen and Stephenson. Probable starting LG and a swing tackle/possible future starter at LT if Albert walks.

We have nothing behind our 4 starters. Nothing.

Safety is a given.

CB isn't nearly the strength it used to be.

We have two glass vaginas at TE.

We're super-thin at RB, not knowing how JC will bounce back.

Face it, we really don't have depth at any position beside WR - and even that is thin if we're seriously thinking of letting Bowe walk.

That Bergstrom guy Oakland drafted looks like he will be easy to hate.


Cool Mohawk, bro.

but you ****ing sunshine pumpers can't stand that someone has an opinion that contradicts Pioli's....why? i have no ****ing clue, but you guys show up like clockwork to simply clap loudly no matter what we do

Who cares? It doesn't matter. The draft is a crap shoot. That dude Poe will either be good or he won't.

just look at BJ Raji. One year he's good, one year he sucks. You guys spend way too much time worrying about this shit.

Siler and Studebaker aren't awful depth. Hillis is a good running back with some mcnugget mixed in

Siler should be decent depth inside and perhaps they're expecting Sheffied to bounce back this season?

I'm with you on needing safety/RB/TE depth.

Let's not forget, this isn't our last chance to add depth. There will be vets available between now and the beginning of the season.

The big question regarding this draft is:


How is our punter and kicker depth??

I forgot about Sheffield

[jd1020]

I'd like to see:

James-Michael Johnson/Tank Carder/Jerry Franklin, ILB
Aaron Henry/Kelcie McCray/Christian Thompson/Sean Richardson, S
Lamar Miller/Tauren Poole, RB

Whatever with the other 2.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

I must be missing all these teams that are stocked deep at every position with super stud reserves.

And Titus won't be happy if we don't take a fullback at some point.

People are bitching for the sake of bitching. You were going off on a tirade about drafting Poe because... for some weird reason, this had something to do with the Chiefs' inability to get a QB. Don't be ridiculous. And the same people bitching about drafting a boom/bust pick like Poe are the same people bitching that we're playing it safe with other picks like depth o-linemen.

I've been as critical of anybody of Pioli not drafting a QB. I've openly said I thought Romeo and Daboll were moronic hires. I was Pioli's biggest critic for firing Haley and "Gumgate." I think Pioli is a solid GM whose arrogance has kept him from making the most crucial moves that would fix the franchise. I think it's comical that anyone who irrationally slams the Poe pick is an ass-kisser.

I'm pointing out some critical flaws that are extremely, extremely coachable. And I'm saying given his physical talents, it's worth seeing if changing those things change the player. It's no small deal that he plays with his pads low and is horrendous using his hands. You do realize that the Nose Tackle position is almost entirely about leverage and the ability to use your arms/hands to disengage blockers, right? You asked why he sucked and that's a very possible, strong explanation for it.
