Who was "the Steal of the Draft?"
What player did you have an eye on that went way lower than your expectation? Why?

All I keep reading about is how KC is never going to finish dead last or with one or two wins, and how they'll never be in position to grab a top QB. Never suck enough for a shot at someone like Stafford. Never suck enough for an elite QB.

Well, this year KC had its chance. The 2nd pick of the draft was open to EVERYONE. Teams were guaranteed not just a chance at, but had a 100% guarantee at taking a consensus blue chip QB prospect. Great arm, great athleticism, no off field concerns, led his team to many victories, played well in big games, accurate, etc. The pick was up for grabs. No more excuses for not having a QB in a pass driven league.

Pioli and Hunt let it slip away. They'd rather use the first round pick on a pure boom/bust prospect and spend the rest of the draft on depth. All the while, the team desperately needs a franchise QB. Pioli gets an F from me on this years draft for not taking that chance, and I look forward to reading next April which average veteran QB will be competing against Cassel, Quinn and Stanzi.
I agree with this 100%.

Plenty of steals in this draft. That's what happens when teams like the Chiefs reach for every single pick they make through the first 5 rounds.
I dunno. At least there was a reason to explain Dennard's fall.

No reason for Chapman to fall that far unless I missed something.

I drooled at the thought of Poe, Ta'amu and Jackson on running downs and Bailey, Powe and Poe on passing downs.....

Except that "the first round pick" would've actually been three first round picks, plus even more as the Rams would've had to fall back further than the 6 spot had they dealt with us.

The Skins paid dearly for the right to move up. In the end, it may be worth it. But giving up 3 first rounders plus a couple of 2nd rounders for 1 player cannot be considered a 'steal'.

Hard to understand how you'd rather have a backup swing Tackle, who might not ever play without an injury vs Ta'amu to rotate in & out with Poe at the NT spot.

Hedging our bets would have been wise IMO.

Wasn't there a stat a few years back where most QB's who declare early are busts? Also another one where one year wonders are usually busts too?

As for steal, CB Leonard Johnson undrafted to the Bucs.

The Bengals raped this draft. Just absolutely crushed it.

I don't think they made a single pick that I'd grade below a B+. Just a fantastic job by those guys.

Everybody kind of picks the same 5-6 guys who fall down the board. As for our division... I have to say I really like the SDSU RB Denver picked up. Dont think I've seen him mentioned anywhere... but he's definitely a guy with big play ability. John Fox will probably get his money's worth out of him.
