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.

I can't speak for everyone else, but my argument has always been that McCluster will only be a part time playmaker.
If he gets in on more than 50% of the offensive snaps, then I will be fine with the selection.
But until I see it on the field, I see his selection as a luxury pick that a team with all the holes that the Chiefs have can't afford to make, and the fact that the Eagles were ready to select him right after us has no bearing.
Being as small as he is, it is also very possible that he has a rather short shelf life, and may not even be a contributor by the time this team has the rest of the pieces in place.
Again, a luxury pick for a team needing the necessities.
