WTF Mike Silver says we are the 28th best team in the NFL

[Mr. Arrowhead]

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nfl--po...GVzdAM-;_ylv=3

1. New York Giants: Is general manager Jerry Reese trying to get disgruntled defensive end Osi Umenyiora to snap?

2. New England Patriots: If Bill Belichick pulled off a trade in which he managed to swap picks with himself, would his reputation for masterful maneuvering reach an unprecedented plateau?

[ Dan Wetzel: Pats move up twice during first round in a dramatic shift in strategy ]

3. Green Bay Packers: Yo, Ted Thompson, feeling a bit defensive – and does having a 28-year-old superstar quarterback impact your thinking much?

4. Baltimore Ravens: When second-round draft pick Courtney Upshaw lines up across from new teammate Michael Oher in training camp, will their biological and surrogate parents be there to cheer them on?

5. San Francisco 49ers: How happy is Jim Harbaugh that the Niners drafted a receiver whose high school nickname was "E.T." and not "Edward Scissorhands"?

6. Houston Texans: With the drafting of Wade Phillips' newest pass-rushing toy, will the Texans' defense be Mercilus in 2012?

7. Pittsburgh Steelers: Got beef?

[ Les Carpenter: Draft picks spend more time in Radio City than anticipated ]

8. Detroit Lions: If the decision-makers in the Lions' war room "listened to our board" and started speaking in Matt Millen's voice, would the team's medical staff pass out handfuls of clozapine?

9. Atlanta Falcons: Hey, Thomas Dimitroff – if second-round pick Peter Konz could play guard and center at the same time, would you have made another Julio Jones-style trade to get him sixth overall?

10. Philadelphia Eagles: After assuring offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg that Philly's plan to use a third-round pick on former Arizona quarterback Nick Foles was "a great one", was Michael Vick tempted to add, "By the way – who's Nick Foles?"

11. New Orleans Saints: When Saints general manager Mickey Loomis called in his third-round pick of Regina defensive tackle Akiem Hicks Friday night, was NFL commissioner Roger Goodell tempted to grab the phone and interject, "Yeah, we know – we've got your war room wiretapped …"

12. Denver Broncos: Will Brock Osweiler become the tallest-ever teammate to bend down and polish Peyton Manning's dress shoes before a Quarterbacks' Night Out at training camp?

13. Dallas Cowboys: What was the Wonderlic score of the Dallas Morning News website editor who posted this headline about first-round draft pick "Morrris" Claiborne?

14. New York Jets: Am I the only one who wonders whether, based on their 2011 performance, the Jets should have drafted an offensive lineman before the sixth round?

15. Cincinnati Bengals: After Rutgers receiver Mohamed Sanu got a prank call telling him the Bengals were taking him in the first round Thursday night, shouldn't Redskins tight end Chris Cooley have been considered the prime suspect?

16. Arizona Cardinals: If I'd been at Larry Fitzgerald's house for the first round of this year's draft, would he have reacted to the selection of Notre Dame receiver Michael Floyd by racing jubilantly through his open-air living room and jumping into the pool?

17. San Diego Chargers: After learning that Chargers GM A.J. Smith had called him a "mean, nasty man", shouldn't first-round pick Melvin Ingram have extended his hand and retorted, "Pot, meet kettle"?

18. Carolina Panthers: How crazy is it that this year's No. 1 pick, Boston College middle linebacker Luke Kuechly, is smaller than last year's No. 1, quarterback Cam Newton?

19. Buffalo Bills: When general manager Buddy Nix described the Bills as "riverboat gamblers" after trading up to get North Carolina State wideout T.J. Graham in the third round, why did I immediately picture this body of water?

20. Chicago Bears: Will the new receiving tandem of Brandon Marshall and second-round pick Alshon Jeffery cause more havoc in opposing secondaries, or in the Bears' locker room?

21. Washington Redskins: When the 'Skins released quarterback John Beck on Saturday, was he humming my altered-lyric version of this iconic '90s tune from his alt-rock namesake?

22. St. Louis Rams: In an effort to help veteran Cortland Finnegan mentor newly drafted cornerbacks Janoris Jenkins and Trumaine Johnson, will coach Jeff Fisher provide the former Titans standout with a Taser gun?

23. Tennessee Titans: After NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock described second-round pick Zach Brown as "allergic to contact", how awesome would it have been to see Brown fly across the set at Radio City Music Hall, slam Mayock into the orchestra pit and yell "Gesundheit"?

24. Seattle Seahawks: What's more surprising – that Pete Carroll and Jon Schneider drafted a quarterback in the third round, or that Wisconsin's Russell Wilson is the team's highest-drafted passer in nearly two decades?

25. Oakland Raiders: How disconcerting is it that post-Al Davis Raiders are resolutely boring on draft day, and can't new GM Reggie McKenzie just indulge us with one ultra-swift, lowly regarded "reach" pick per year?

26. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: If the Muscle Hamster runs wild at Raymond James Stadium, will they put a large, spinning wheel next to the pirate ship in Doug Martin's honor?

27. Cleveland Browns: As of Thursday night, is Colt McCoy nostalgic for a little one-on-one time with Brian Daboll?

28. Kansas City Chiefs: Do Scott Pioli and Romeo Crennel seem overly optimistic in their assessment of the Chiefs' talent level – or am I just so pessimistic about K.C.'s quarterback situation that it completely clouds my thinking?

29. Jacksonville Jaguars: To realize value as the 70th overall pick, would Bryan Anger have to figure out a way to get footballs to explode upon making contact with a punt returner?

30. Minnesota Vikings: Yo, Matt Kalil – while proclaiming how much more Minnesota than California you are, were you neglecting to account for the possibility that the team which drafted you might soon be West Coast-bound?

31. Miami Dolphins: Does Jeff Irleand's latest rebuilding project involve replacing his best player – and, if so, why do I sense another protest brewing?

[ Jason Cole: Colts use Day 2 of draft to get Andrew Luck weapons in form of 2 TEs and a WR ]

32. Indianapolis Colts: Now that former Stanford tight end Coby Fleener has successfully convinced an NFL team he was worthy of being selected with the 34th overall pick, will he grow his hair out and lose the whole Rob Gronkowski impersonation bit?

[Mother****erJones]

Im fine. I just cant believe he's got Cleveland and St. Louis ahead of us. **** him

[Easy 6]

He's apparently basing it all on Cassel, fair enough i guess... but really, who cares what Hyman Roth thinks, as long as Cassel doesnt completely shit the bed KC will beat up on several teams that no one expects us to.

Theres really no reason that this team shouldnt make the playoffs this year, what Cassel does once there is another question, but theres absolutely no question that this is a playoff worthy team.

Everything Silver says should be taken with a huge grain of salt. He is a massive Raiders fan and said they'd win the AFC West last year and play in the AFCC.

Holy shit he's Reighters

[Marcellus]

We were better than the 28th best team last year with Palko starting 3 games or whatever and 3 of our best young players on IR all season.

Give me a ****ing break.

[BigRock]

Michael Silver is a big Todd Haley fan, seems to hate Pioli with a passion, and those two things tend to bleed into everything he writes about KC.

Unfortunately, a lot of what he's written about KC over the last year has turned out to be pretty accurate. Including the last thing he wrote that outraged everybody, which was that Peyton Manning would be crazy to even consider coming here. And lo and behold, he didn't consider it.

[Chiefnj2]

Waaah, we should be ranked 23rd instead of 28, waaah.

Awww. Look at you trying to take on a drafturbator persona

[BossChief]

In a way, I wish we were that bad.

Maybe then we would have a chance at a real quarterback next April and have hope to win it all in a couple years.

Reality is we have a better shot at being a playoff team next year than drafting in the top 5.

I'm just gonna try to enjoy the ride and trust that Cassel is on a short leash and that Stanzi will get a chance this year.

I wanna let you all know.



As some of you know I'm currently in my second year of dental school, second semester. So close to being in the clinic and seeing patients I can taste it.


Well these last two weeks I have had 16 finals. Has not been a joyous couple weeks. Only 4 left.


Anyway, after having my head in books for a while, I find my self day dreaming at times about this draft and Chiefs football. I've come away extremely optimistic. I am intrigued by what Poe can bring to the table. If he can do what the front office thinks he can do, we should field a good defense.


Still have to worry about the qb spot, but I think Stanzi will have it on lockdown soon enough.


Excited about this season and this years rookie crop. Hopefully it's a fun ride.

Michael, I read your power rankings. KC is 28th? Are you ****ing high? They have one of the most talented rosters outside of QB. Ya Cassel isnt Brady but he isnt Colt McCoy. KC won 7 games without Berry, Charles, Moeaki, and Cassel for half the year. And KC beat the Packers! You are without a doubt the stupidest mother****er on the face of the earth. Try again dumbass. And not to mention they got one of the best RTs in the game in Free Agency to go along with a good backup TE in Boss, a good RB in Hillis who excelled under Daboll, solid CB replacement in Routt for Carr. Routt will be fine because he isn't in Oakland. The ****ing Browns are not better. Man you are a moronic ****ing sports writer! Where did you get your GED from? If all you want is a reaction to your articles well here it is. Jesus youre stupid.

Michael Wilson

Ohh man, that'll teach him!!
