I was not one of those people. Last year was the first good draft we've had in a long time.

I've got nothing against Pollard personally, he just duplicates positions that we already have (SS) and doesn't fill our extreme need (CB)

earlier in the thread someone explains that he switched from DT to DE.

that makes some sense I guess.

Just think we could've had him 10 picks later, and even if we couldn't have, we would've gotten someone of similar talent to fill a need.

How in the hell do you know that? I think I just figured out who you really are.

I think you missed this post the 1st time too.

Let me point out that I remember seeing this same exact thing when we drafted Larry Johnson a few years ago.

I also notice that some of those same people were riding his dick towards victory lane several times last season.

I'm not sure CB is more of a need than a safety is. Even if KC were to draft Youboty, he would be lucky to play as a dime CB. I'm not sure he could beat out Walls, Battle, Sapp, Johnson, Hodge, etc. At least not immediately. Same goes for Pollard. Obviously there was a need for some CB depth, and a need for some safety depth. The KC war room must have felt that Pollard as the safety depth was better than Youboty being a Dime or Quarter CB.

You have to understand that Pollard is a phenom on special teams according to most. Maybe they felt Pollard brings more instant impact to the present?

No, no I didn't. I just want to give the guy a chance before sticking a fork in him. :shrug:

Exactly. I learned my lesson when LJ did got his chance.

We shouldn't be drafting special teamers in the 2nd round. That's what the fifth round is for.

Most 2nd rounders always come in and play Special Teams. You missed the point however....Youboty or Pollard, they both are just depth for the time being.

.

Well Done t.T.C!

moving up like ATL did and taking Jimmy Williams wouldn't have been depth. He'd have started for us, hell he'll probably start for ATL.

What's your problem dude? We pick #20. Reach or not, I'm stoked we got this guy. I'm glad they went D-line first instead of CB.

This happens every year.

It's usually deserved, but I really think they did well this year.

Did you happen to watch our special teams last year?
