Hmmmmm, this is weird.................
I think the Chiefs will regret this decision. I can easily see both Croyle and Cassel going down at the same time.
I thought Thigpen looked pretty good at times last year. The ability to run, with our o-line, is a really nice asset to have.
Maybe Hailey has some diamond in the rough waiting in the wings. However, I see this a pretty cynical move.
Thigpen has always been terrible at best in a normal offense though... there won't be any regrets. With Hailey gone, any chance of us ever running the Pistol Spread ever again went out the window.
I would have to add the
2008 5th Round
Brandon Carr
2007
Kolby Smith
2005
Boomer Grigsby (cut by Miami because he was hurt, having a good year.)
2003
Bobby Wade (Chicago)
2002
Scott Fujita (Now with the Saints)
2000
Dante Hall
Should I go further back, or look at other teams?
Dude- you could hardly call Boomer Grigsby a 5th Rounder worth talking about. Drafted as a LB, he ended up amassing the pro-bowl-worthy total of 28 tackles in 4 years. When he couldn't hack it as a LB, KC couldn't bear to part ways with him, so we made him a FB, where he had a great year catching the ball out of the backfield- with 2 rec. for 14 yards.
The good year he was having in Miami in 2008? 1 tackle in 1 game.
Just sayin'
Not sure they will pan out yet but Sean Ryan and Ryan O'Callahan are also 5th rounders.
By the way if we get a 4th, Jared Allen was a 4th.
And he wasn't our draft pick but Tony Pashos was a 5th rounder.
