Of course, that's not at all true. Anybody that can read would know that.

In my humble opinion, DT Richardson, RT/LT Fluker, and S Viccaro performed the best on the field over their rookie years, and there's no way we were taking Viccaro. that leaves Richardson and fluker, the #13 and #11 picks, respectively, that in our short evaluation period appear to be the best selections 1.1 so far. frankly, if they took a DT, the fan base may have stormed the stadium and burned it down. and at the time last year, nobody had fluker projected anywhere except RT, so then they truly would have taken RT #1.

they chose the best upside in a downside talent pool. now they will play him where he was drafted to play.

So you're suggesting we made our pick not because of the player but because of the fan involvement?

Sound plan

What other teams have drafted a tackle in the top 3-5 and started him at RT, moved him to LT, and been successful?

Do you want me to give you a head start on that research?

So is his.


And the chiefs keep doing things the teams that don't win do.

I bet Fish is a much better LT than RT. Anyone bitching doesnt realize what he did last season was equalivent to a left handed person learning how to write right handed. Ill believe Bruce Mathews when he said that Fish has all the tools to be a great LT. He also said that it takes someone with exceptional talent to switch Tackle positions in the NFL as a rookie. Sure he'll have growing pains like any young player but his will be magnified because he was pick 1.1. Still, when its all said and done, I bet he grades out very well and earns several All Pro honors.

This.

What's so wrong with saying something like the following:

"Going into training camp, we need to address our LT position. We have two great young players that we're very confident in, Eric Fisher and Donald Stephenson. We're going to let them compete at that spot and give the job to the player we feel is best prepared to protect our QB's blind side."

How many teams take bad RTs and make them LTs?

Reaching on a QB that isn't worthy is not what winning teams do.

I'm really digging the "he was out out position, it's the coaches fault he sucked". Against nfl level competition, for the most part, he was physically beaten.

Chiefs fans. It's never ever on the player. "Coordinators sucks, coaching sucks,"

That would be the intelligent, non-Chiefs way of doing it.

It's called "logic".

(And no, before you go there, I'm not suggesting my logic is CORRECT)


You did not see him play one game at LT.

He was a rookie from a small school.

How can you seriously say your opinion is based in logic given these circumstances?

Who is talking about QBs, other than you?

Neither is drafting shitty players.

Did he play last year? I must have missed where he didn't play so we have nothing to base our opinions on.
