You can believe the report, or not, but there is no reason he would say they were taking him if they truly weren't.
The fact that you guys made hundreds of posts leading up to the draft asking for playmakers and for the team to draft BPA and then backpedal after the draft and argue to no end that we should have "reached" for linemen and linebackers tells everyone all they need to know on if you do or dont have an agenda.
real talk
If we drafted Misi, Troup, Washington or Lee and the next pick was Philly taking DMC, you KNOW what the argument would be right now.
You guys would have your pitchforks ready and would be asking to no end why we didn't "reach" for playmakers because those aren't available later in the draft.
You know it
I know it
Everyone else knows it.
EVERYONE except you guys loved this draft, but please keep pushing that weak agenda and ignore the voices that are telling you to be objective.

Exactly.
I heard Gosselin on Sirius NFL Radio with Peter King. He said he gave the Chiefs an A+ because they took everybody at perfect value. And this is a guy with probably the best sources in the biz. It doesn't matter what he rated his board at. If he says the Chiefs didn't reach, he has as good of sources as anybody to confirm that that's true.
And agreed... most of the people the Chiefs "should have" taken are not playmakers. They're guys who have the potential to play their position well enough, and most of them carry additional baggage. There are those who complain that the Chiefs took a part-time player, and yet push for Cody and Tate. Then there are those who insisted the Chiefs take a playmaker like Berry over positions of higher positional value like Okung and McClain, then suggest that in the second round we pick up solid players over playmakers. And then there are those who complain about Moeaki being too injury prone, and then push for Sergio Kindle to be picked almost two rounds higher despite having potentially chronic leg problems. What's most interesting is the way some people make completely different arguments to suit the situation.
