Chiefs ESPN gave us a B draft grade. Does that make the pessimist happier? - Page 8

Where are all the Curry advocates?

How mad are they at their boy for passing on the OBVIOUS top prospect in the draft?

Can you believe this bullshit? How is this not a thread?

Furiously editing their posts in recxjake style to show their love for Tyson Jackson.

I like Vrable for his leadership and his winning attitude that we haven't had linebacker for a long time. I know he's a stop gap but we know what level he's capable of playing at.

Jackson was Pioli's man all along so I am going out on limb and going to trust his judgement on this. Canty might not be around as long as Vrable at this point so looking for a long term Seymore type solution to our most glaring weakness might prove wise in the end.

The great part is we are both speculating and the answers are coming. As a Chief Fan you have to be hoping a little that I'm right.

Our most glaring weakness was rushing the passer. Tyson Jackson is not a pass rusher.

Is it just possible that a couple of weeks ago the Chiefs thought that a trade down was a sure thing and that they go down a few of picks, pick up an extra pick and still get Jackson and somebody else? Then when everyone in the top 5 decided that Sanchez wasn't the only pick in the 1st round and trade offers went bu-bye, they picked the best player available to help the team the most regardless of where everyone saw him getting picked because their next pick was the next day?

Would you like to do the honors, Hamas Jefferson, of penning an opus to call these posters out on their bullshit?

I've heard so much about ****ing Curry for the past two months that this shit should not go so quietly into the night.

It might be time for the "Gang of 14" to write an amendment.

I'm pretty sure Mecca is on record saying more than once that he hopes he's wrong about Cassel so its not like he's being contrary just for the sake of being contrary. He has strong opinions and largely sticks to them, its better than the waffling and obnoxious rose-colored glasses optimism of Hootie.

Please don't. Just let it die, I never want to hear about Curry again.

Just because the Company Cook gives you some salt for your "shit on a shingle", you're still eating shit on a shingle.

No, the season after the draft doesn't show the true value of that draft, unless you're the Chiefs and you completely undermine the future value of that draft by changing to an entirely different scheme that so many of the players from that draft don't fit.

tonyetony · 04-26-2009, 07:54 PM

Ok, so where are the draft chart value freaks also. I think there might have been a chance to trade down to the Redskins and pick up a 2nd rounder and still get Jackson. Please explain to me how the tried, true and tested draft value chart worked out today.

Our D-line sucked in every facet. Jackson can't hurt.

There are a lot of good examples in this draft of teams receiving great value in return for dropping down.

Just because Cleveland dropped down to their knees doesn't prove a thing.

In many cases, the chart was absolutely valid.

Bill Belichick got good value in every one of his trades.
