Yep Philly thought they had him at 26, and Atlanta tried to move back in to the 1st round to draft him but the trade compensation teams were asking for was too rich for their blood- rumored to be at least 2 2nd round picks.

I dont get why everyone is upset at pick they took BPA! Like Dorsey said best when you draft on need only thats when u lose! Tyson Jackson need Jon Baldwin need. Example of drafting BPA Jamaal Charles Larry Johnson for a stint. Justin Houston etc... This was a good pick and it will make us better period

LJ was a perceived need. Had they gone BPA, Troy Polamalu would be a Chief.

But yeah, your point still stands.

So I wonder if they are going to transition Ford or Houston to the right side.

Nope not at that time priest was still in his prime lol remember the take the diapers off statement by dick vermeil because lj was pouting he wasnt getting any pt. I mean it was a need but it was more of a luxury because priest had his contract situation coming up!

This place is funny sometimes. They always harp on taking BPA. Take a QB even if you have a starter in place! But when we do that, they insist on drafting for need.

Unless you are going all in for a 2 year window (e.g. Denver, New England) you always draft BPA.

When we drafted LJ, Priest was still rehabbing that hip injury that put him out for the season. If KC knew Priest was going to be okay and available, theres no way they draft LJ with their first pick.

Yep.

Shit man, I don't remember you being such a negative naybob, this guy has an elite first step and great lean and rip, we NEEDED a pass rusher, you can never have enough pass rushers.

Just look at how we fell apart when Houston went down, how the pressure suffered when Hali was gimped up... this guy was a solid get, IMO.

I'm really not. Just sick of not drafting a first round QB...EVER since I've been watching

Like why do we need a freaking qb first round why?????????? We have a freaking qb thats 30 years old and came off the best freaking chiefs qb performance in a playoff game in last 15 years lol

Not to mention he got better and better as the season went on! Also did you forget that if tyler bray came out in this draft and didnt make dumb comments and made all the correct interviews answers he would be a top 3 qb in this draft!

Actually, in the history of the Chiefs franchise.

I really like Bray. But him paning out is slimmer than drafting Tom Brady.

What does it matter really? Stop focusing on stuff that doesn't matter. Focus on the positives of this franchise. Alex Smith has proven he's more than capable of winning games and playoff games. Oh yea, we also just picked up a pretty sweet pass rusher.

I just dont get it! I really dont!! Alex did a good job and he is only gonna get better and more comfortable in the system this year. Ok hypothetically we draft manziel or bridgewater and let Alex Smith go and he goes to playoffs with another team and we end up with a matt cassel then you guys would cry omg how dumb the chiefs to let alex smith go blah blah blah! If it aint broke dont fix it and if it aint over 30 then why draft a replacement imo!
