NFL Draft General comment about the draft.......

**Tribal Warfare** · 02-23-2009, 09:51 AM

Who else believes this period of the NFL is more nerve racking than the regular season?

I'm believe it is because once the team is on the field you'll see the finished product. If they suck or not at least you know where they are.

I think it's more annoying than the regular season. It's two months of guys on the web masturbating until the pics are finally made, followed by a couple more days of verbal pud-pulling and then the OTAs start.

I stopped caring around mid November.

I'll care again on draft day.

Not a chance. You wouldn't be saying that if the Chiefs were in the playoff hunt or legit Superbowl contenders.

That's more exciting, this deals with the unknown.

How much is the players how much is it the system
you see productive players move to another team and suck
not so much visa versa

I think there are plenty of guys who change teams and play better. They just aren't as known as publicized as the free agent busts.

I think this is one of the most intriguing times in the history of the Chiefs.

New GM, new coach, and really, a new owner for all intents and purposes. We have nothing in their history to truly gauge what they will do on draft day.

This is their first draft as a collective unit, and the first glimpse for the fans as to how they will build the team.

I think the reason it is more nerve racking is because we have 61 days left to sit and consider who the Chiefs will draft.

At least free agency is coming up in less than a week, so we will at least get some bump there, and something to take our mind off the draft for a week or two.

Cant believe I am going to say this, but this is the FIRST sensible thing we have heard from you to date...

Actually.....just wait....FA will only make the draft talk worse. We'll sign a RT and EVERYONEs mock draft will change. We'll bring in a veteran QB and everyone will scream that we're drafting one in the 7th round. We'll sign a LB and everyone will get mad because people will think that we're not taking Curry.

It's only going to get worse.

Good point, You will see this board swing from one draftees junk to the next... It will get reeruned before things settle down for OTA's...

Sure, but at least then the projections will be based on more information. Right now, all that is in flux.

Now, I for one, do not think the Chiefs will take a RT with their #3 pick. I don't think it makes sense. I just cannot see the Chiefs taking a RT with that pick.

I also can't see them taking Sanchez. I could have seen them taking Crabtree until he had a fracture in his foot.

But, again, TOO many unknowns at this point. I think Curry is a real possibility, and even thought I don't like the idea of taking an ILB at #3... it is better than taking a RT... and I just really don't like Sanchez.

I don't know enough about Raji to say one way or the other.

Oh, and if the Lions take Curry, and Stafford falls... I think the Chiefs will either take him or trade down. I will be a little dissapointed if they pass on him, but if they can get a couple of picks in a trade down...then, it makes it at least a little better.
