Thomas - wild card????? Thomas will have a better rookie year than McCluster and if healthy his upside is much higher than people realize. Please come back later for a serving of Black Mamba. |

I give them the grade I give every team after every draft: incomplete

We were going to be hard pressed to "kill it" in this draft in most people's eyes when we were down picks, it's simple mathematics. I think we did just fine with the resources we had at hand. |

Yes no question this is the bottom line. I do think you can spin this positively. We had a great season. Were it not for very untimely injuries I believe they made a great effort and we were serious contenders. I have thought about the FA losses and frankly Dexter was the only one that bothered me. This team needs field position difference makers. You don't go out and get a SP coach like we did and not give him somebody to work with. Perhaps Thomas will deliver but I think Dexter would have been better. We shall see.

And even though our receiver group are decidedly unglamorous, they helped us average 35 ppg the last six games as everyone started to find their comfort level in a new offense. I wanted a new hotshot, but I can understand why Dorsey/Reid maybe didn't put as much priority on it as fans did... this scrap pile of guys actually produced decently. |

LAWL SOME PEOPLE HAVE OPINIONS ON A FOOTBALL MESSAGE BOARD THAT'S FUNNY Y DONT' THEY BECOME GMS AND HEAD COACHES LAWL OH CHIEFS PLANET.
Worst part about the draft is listening to the dumb****s bash this place. The "board experts" are the reason this forum stays in place and has entertainment value. If it were up to ****faces like Deberg, all anybody would ever say is, "I like da Chiefs. Mmhmm. We'll see how good they can be this year. Maybe they'll make the playoffs." |

He's a nice guy, but he's also really really boring. And all he ever does is make shitty comments about the "board experts"
If he would get out there and actually write some football opinions in his posts and try to sell them to people, I wouldn't have a problem. But he never does. He's a more level-headed version of frazod. |

If draft grades lead to Championships, Cleveland would have been a dynasty by now.
"Experts"? Give me a ****ing break. |

This is so ****ing stupid.
Grade a draft by whether you got good players, not by whether you fill in immediate needs. So if this team drafted three starting offensive linemen this would be a great draft? |

if the media is bored then why not go ahead and grade 2011 draft, there is no way no how you can grade a draft immediately after its over

That only applies to the teams that consistently field contenders. Mediocre teams, and teams that are worse than mediocre, are teams that need to be looking for players to fill needs. I don't hate this draft and won't complain about the direction, because it does have the potential to pay dividends in the next few years. However, a mediocre team that has holes almost certainly can find players that fill the holes in their roster that have an equal value to players that don't fill immediate needs.

Wrong on 2 points.
Our biggest need was ignored altogether, and we didn't draft a DE in this scheme.
