Amazing poem, BTW.
It's really more due to the fact that Pioli chose proven college playmakers. Guys that proved over and over again they can actually play, unlike last year. There are so many holes that they couldn't have been filled by one draft, but this is promising. Now if next year they take another returner, guard, slot receiver, etc., then this draft will have been Epic Fail 2.0. But I'm not ready to declare it a failure today. Far from it. |

The Arenas and trade for the Iowa Tight end were stupid. But Pioli can come away with some talent tommorow we might have three starters and a game changer?

You should be, especially considering the guys at the tight end spot that would have been on the board in the fourth round when the Chiefs picked. That fifth round pick we had was huge. It got pissed away.

Well we came away with a future All-Pro Safety and All-Pro Guard out of the draft, so its not a total failure like last year.

I actually think that position may be one of if not the most difficult to make the transtion from college to pro. I think it's a lot more likely to see a player really blossom in his 3rd or 4th year than see one start out really hot as a rookie. That's part of the reason I said this is a big year for Bowe a few pages back. If he doesn't break out this year, odds are he never will. So me saying I don't expect McCluster to be Welker right out the gates is not saying I think he's a project. I don't think anybody would be Welker right out the gates... |

I'm not. Maybe it is because I had a really good steak tonight. Not sure.

If I came to you a day and a half ago and offered you
Eric Berry, Jimmy Clausen, Terrance Cody, Damien Williams, and Everson Griffen through the first 4 rounds and sacrificing 5c and told you instead that we took Eric Berry, Dexter McCluster, Javier Arenas, Jon Asamoah, and Tony Moeaki Are you honestly telling me that you wouldn't be incredibly disappointed to have the second instead of the first? Honestly?

Mecca,
I respect your opinion and you are a top ten poster on this board. I do think the crying about this draft is a little over the top. If you replace Javier Arenas with a better defensive player to stop the run, I think this draft is terrific. I call you out a little though because last year the chiefs went more on need and you screamed for bpa. Seems like they are TRYING to do bpa and you are still screaming. Let's just admit you cherry pick a few guys, and if the Chiefs do not pick them, they messed up. I do admit your cherry picked guys tend to be pretty good. Also, I remember you loving you some CJ Spiller to KC. McCluster is a similar gamebreaker |
