Chiefs press conference on Tyreek Hill
Starting a whole new thread about this because I think it's a pretty important to get the justification and story from the people who made the pick. Was posted in the original thread, but I know it's going to get lost in the still vibrant discussion.
Basically, Dorsey would normally let his scout team handle questions about the last day so he can do UDFA stuff, but he felt he needed to address the press and media about it before too many stories got carried away. So they spent basically a full 20 minutes discussing the morality of picking somebody like Hill. http://www.chiefs.com/media-center/v...c-90e1d8adc228 For people who don't really care to listen, Dorsey and Reid basically give a single answer: "We've done our homework, so please trust us." Props go to Terez Paylor for asking the tough and pointed questions about this. He's got some balls as a journalist that I've never seen out of the KC Star. |

Condemn him to hell, second chances ---- regardless where you stand, do you really want him playing ball for your favorite team? When he returns a punt for a TD and is cheered like a hero.....how good is that going to feel? Hell, when he was picked, the NFL channel guys barely acknowledged it. I was glad, didn't want him to get that recognition.

If that were to happen, it may very well spell the end for Dorsey and Reid. Wouldn't that be some shit. Over the 5th round pick? |

Especially for a guy like Charles who had to go thru all that with Belcher. Not a fan. |

You never know, there are probably some guys that would have done the same thing if they were in the same situation, and we still cheer for them. I'm not fond of the pick, but I'm also not going to pretend that we haven't cheered for dudes like this. Absolutely not. My wife, when she was pregnant hardly ever even irritated me, much less tried me. And this guy probably isn't one I'd want to sit and have beers with. But it's naive to think the league is devoid of guys like this. |

ESPECIALLY if this dude is pegged as ONLY a returner. Holy shit man. For a returner? If this were Charles (thank God it's not, it's easy to love that guy) you can look at the risks. The marginal decrease from this guy to the next returner couldn't be that much. |
