**** You Scott Pioli (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=212815)

The Chiefs could've upgrade this Offensive Line significantly, and at a reasonable price, this off-season.

Ray Willis, one of the best young RT's in the NFL, was available. He re-signed with the team we're playing tonight for a modest contract.

There were a shit ton of young talented Guards in the Draft we could easily have taken over a guy like Donald Washington.

They dropped the ball a bit in that regard.

Why did they pay Pioli millions when they could get Mecca for $8 an hour?

Seriously if this team had used a 5th round pick on Jamon Meredeith he'd likely be the starting RT right now.

It's just little things like that.

You cannot upgrade all that and QB in one off season.

You can sure try. The Chiefs didn't which shocked me. Especially when you consider that our OL has sucked for the past couple of seasons.

Yup, I can't believe they ONLY brought in roughly 35 new players.

And NONE upgraded the line...

The rest of the draft was nothing less than a complete headscratcher in terms of addressing the obvious needs that the Chiefs had, especially considering what/who was available in each round when the Chiefs picked. And this isn't hindsight. Everyone, and I mean everyone, on the Draft Planet were "WTF?," including people who were in total disagreement about certain players, etc. I've said it before, and I'll say it again - it was either a transition thing where the Pioli/Haley regime just didn't have the time to properly prepare for the draft, the old crew sent them a shit sandwich as a parting gift, or whathaveyou, but this last draft hurt the Chiefs in terms of not immediately addressing areas of obvious problems.

As Mecca stated, it would have been rather easy to get two new starting OL out of this last draft if they wanted especially when you look at what we had sitting around and knowing that it was that line who got two of your quarterbacks killed last season and you just picked up what was going to be your QBOTF.

I don't know if it merits a "**** you Pioli.", but it does require a "Dude...?"

I don't disagree, but what I said is right. No matter if we tried to upgrade every single position, some of those moves would've failed. That's just reality. If you think you could upgrade a 2 win team with holes at almost every position into a team full of quality starters in one offseason you truly should be in an NFL front office.

And I was one of the people arguing that drafting Stafford or Sanchez was a big risk because we have so much work to do with the O-line. Often times rookie QB's thrown behind bad lines are the ones who bust. The guys like Roethlisberger who break out their rookie year played behind pretty solid lines.

But even the "smart" moves don't always work out. Our O-line sucks. Our QB sucked. We had the worst pass rush in the history of football. There's just an overwhelming amount of crap to fix.

If I had drafted Sanchez I most likely wouldn't have played him this year...you don't get that option with Cassel.

:rolleyes:

Well it was pretty obvious upgrading the line wasn't put in as a prime thing to do.

It probably should have been the same as you don't set up top 5 picks to fail at QB you shouldn't set up a guy you traded for and paid to fail.

There are different OL here. I'm sure they concentrate on this next season. Its going to take some time. I will be bitching if nothing is done then.
