So is Jerry Angelo high or something? WTF is he doing with this draft.

 

What don't you like? I think it's been a fine draft so far. I would've preferred Albert over Williams in the first and a WR like Sweed over a RB in the 2nd, but Williams is a fine pick and Forte sounds pretty damn good, as does Bennett. The DT provides some nice depth for if/when Tommie and Dusty get hurt. Bowman is a solid CB, and I really like the Safety pick because it will probably help keep Archuleta off the field. I wish we would get a Guard, and I would've liked Johnson, but I'm hoping now we don't take a QB at all because I don't want someone like Woodson. There's been some interesting picks, but I don't think there have been any bad ones.

I am really starting to sour on Steltz, he could be Lynch, he could be Archuletta. that being the case, why not take a chance on a OG or WR?

I didn't think I would live to see the day my Chiefs nailed a draft like this. I am in utter disbelief. Charles, Cottam and Franklin today is awesome. I mean Cottam is 6'8" 270 and 40's in the 4.6's. This years draft is going to make the team better immediately.

Chiefs are having an unbelievable draft. I'm glad Franklin is with the Chiefs so I can watch him on Sundays. I think he can step in and make an impact immediately for you guys.

The Forte pick was stupid. It was a reach, and there were much better players available in Sweed, or even Brohm. Honestly once Mendenhall slipped, I wouldve packaged some picks together and moved back into the 1st round to grab him. I hate the fact we havent taken a QB yet either.

They could have waited on Forte, there was no reason to pick him with that pick. Hell if you want him that bad move up after that pick and take him.

I disagree, Forte probably would have been gone by the third round

maybe one of the best drafts ever for KC, kevin robinson is a steal. absolute steal

I wonder if we have some new scouting personnel or something because this draft is very un-Chiefs like.

Another lineman, huh? The Dolphins have had seven picks. Three are offensive linemen...two are defensive linemen.

 

 

Big Bill believes games are won and lost in the trenches.

 

For the most part, it's true. But...I'm not keen on going into the season with Derek Hagan as the #2 wideout. Seriously, no recievers of DBs through seven picks?

It's so Angelo to not pick a QB just because everyone wants him to. It's almost as if hes doing in in order to make a point

If Pacman gets re-instated and the 2 CB's the Cowboys drafted look good in camp, I could see a training camp deal where the Cowboys send Henry to the Fhins.
