Definitely been there done that! hahaha
What's really fun is being at Draft Day at Arrowhead, and the crowd boo's at the Chiefs drafts! I've not been to DD the last two yrs, but hopefully his year there will be all cheers, and the draftee's will live up to expectations!
Connie I was at draft day last year and when they cqalled TJ's name the crowd went silent and stayed that way as if we were all drained.
Most times I was there fan's cheered. There was one year, however...they drafted someone the fan's apparently didn't approve of...many booed. I can't remember who it was they drafted though, or the year.
I remember being excited and cheering when they drafted Bowe, cause I'd been wanting them to draft a hopefully talented WR for a while. That was 2006 I think, the last yr I've been since.
I was told they've changed DD alot in the last couple years...is that true?
Okung is no better than Albert...Albert is learning to play LT with proper technique at a weight that allows him stay fast on his feet to keep up with the fastest pass rushers. Hailey made him lose all that weight so he could be our franchise LT and he really started to get it in the 2nd half of the season. Hes going to be a beast next season. Everyone makes it sound like drafting Okung and sliding down BA is an easy automatic fix and its guaranteed to work....Okung is going to go through the same rookie struggles that all non elite OTs go through. Just because he is the top rated OT in the draft doesnt make him elite. If he as elite as everyone here is making him out to be, there is no way he should make it to us with the teams picking ahead of us. Plus, there is no guarantee BA will work out at RG at the NFL level. (he played LG at VA). Too many uncertainties. Why not just draft Maurkice Pouncey with our 2nd and actually fill a position on the line that needs filling?
Couldn't have said it better myself. Sliding Albert to LG and drafting a LT puts our Oline BEHIND 1 more year as we would have 2 starters learning their position/system. Albert was damn near flawless near the end of the season (Ya, I said it. Watch the tape). As Haley would say, "He gets it". We need an OG/OC on the line. I'm on the Berry/McClain Train.
if suh dropped to us we would have teams on their knees competing to trade up into our spot...i never see it as a possibility but it would be highly profitable for us to auction away the player in the draft that everyone wants
Best player on the board is still Sam Bradford IMO. If he's there we don't take him though. :(
