But IMO, even a big FA spending spree or taking two each of receivers and safeties wouldn't have guaranteed that kind of success... if things play out the way the braintrust thinks, this isn't gonna be some lost season due to a tough schedule. We're gonna be competitive throughout, just watch MM... its no longer a first year regime training up first year players in this system, there is some cohesiveness now, there is some depth now. |

That's what I have a problem with… I don't understand why the Chiefs… coming off 11 wins, 8 Pro Bowl players, etc. are content with taking steps back to rebuild, rather than trying to aggressively build on last year's success.

Why people give a shit about day after grades evades me. I will have to check but I am pretty sure nobody wrote how the Patriots drafted one of the greatest QBs when they took Brady in the 6th round or when the Chiefs signed a punter named Deron Cherry. There are countless players taken who later surpassed expectations. It is a crap shoot plain and simple~

The biggest mistake they've made this offseason, aside from what I see as a mediocre draft, is not tearing it down enough. Hali and Flowers should have been shipped for picks if they aren't in the plans for 2015. You want a half-assed approach to getting them over the top, Carl Peterson 1998-style. They decided to engage in a half-assed rebuilding project.

Keep in mind that we still have next offseason to ship these guys, even if they're a year older. I wouldn't mind trying to negotiate with both these guys in good faith for a reasonable contract and trading them if they ask for too much. |

I must be crazy, drunk on the Kool-Aid, or a bit of both because I really like this year's draft on a number of different levels.
And I'm not getting rid of Daniel, either. Bray, on the other hand, is about to exit the building, assuming he cannot be put on the PS. It's not a foregone conclusion that '14 is going to be a dumpster fire. At this point, I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt in terms of progress to a coach like Reid. He has a track record that deserves this. Yes, last's year success was artificial because of the schedule. Yes, this year's schedule looks like a mother****er... But, but...if INDY Smith is real Smith, this is going to go a long way to ensuring that this team is successful, schedule be damned. |

That being said, there's a lot of work to do. At least Dorsey proved he can draft, but let's see how these players shake out. The part of Dorsey that still scares me is, he seems to have a good strategy and understand personnel, but he looks really green when it comes to negotiating contracts. I just hope that's not his achilles heels because we will need free agency one day and we have some huge contract extensions coming up. |

The way this off-season has played out the guys in charge HAVE to believe Indy Smith is the real Smith. I'm hoping they are right.

This. I've never heard a team describe as bleak a situation a team being in as we've heard this off-season. Obviously me head isn't in their books and I don't know all the rules, but after this very vanillas sounding draft one can only hope these selections turn out to be a lot better than anybody ever expected.
