Now who doesn't like a Moeaki chicken bowl?

dtrain · 04-23-2010, 08:26 PM

Damn I would of rather had Graham or probaby not had to give up anything to get Dickerson.

He's a great TE. A matchup nightmare for LBs in the passing game and a very good blocker.

But he's also injured a lot.

If he can stay healthy, no one will be upset about this pick in a few years.

How is he a matchup nightmare? Because they aren't used to covering short TE's?

He's a nightmare because it's impossible to cover someone who's always on IR.

How many games have you seen him play?

If you want to judge what kind of player he is based on his height, go for it. But the fact of the matter is he was extremely dangerous in the passing game.

Anyone who has a clue about this guy knows that the only knock on him is durability.

And that's a fair complaint. I probably would have avoided him for that very reason.

My praise of him definately comes with the "if he stays healthy" caveat. But people looking at his stat line or measurables aren't coming close to getting the picture of the type of player he is.

I haven't had much of a chance to see him play, because he never plays.

In all seriousness though, I have seen him play and heard all about him since you know, I live an hour away from Iowa City. That doesn't change the fact his has the injury bug worse than Brodie Croyle and that its going to be even more hard to stay healthy getting hit by NFL defenders.

Is Dallas Clark a "short TE"?

I've been a Chiefs fan for my whole life and I'm surprised how arrogant/stupid some of you guys have been about these draft pick. We didn't "reach" for anybody. McCluster was going to go to Philly with the next pick if KC didn't take him, Arenas was slotted to go anywhere from late 2nd to early 3rd so not much of a reach there either.

Moeaki looks like a player that will help out immediately with the passing game. If he stays healthy I think he will be good for us. The guard from Illinois is the guard of the future after Waters retires/or leaves. McCluster and Arenas will immediately help out special teams along with their respective positions.

So for the guys who insist on being pessimistic about every pick the Chiefs make, get over yourselves. Sure we all have opinions on who the Chiefs should pick but this has gotten a bit out of hand. I didn't come to this site to hear Chiefs fans acting like 4rd graders about every move Pioli and Haley make.
