I'd take it, but I'd also take a Canty-Poe- Bid dick Seymour for a year or two over drafting Richardson.

Dude is an absolute headcase and if we've learned anything based on the Chiefs history, DL with red flags scare the shit out of me.

You may love QBs but if you think this is the weakest class in a decade, you don't know jack shit about them.

Yep, you obviously know nothing about QBs.

With Alex Smith at QB?

**** no I wouldn't take that. That's ****ing stupid.

With new developments about Star, he might slip. Geno at 1, star at 34?

Right. Obviously I'd have to clear Richardson personally if I were a GM.

But he is stupid talented. You want to talk about generational talent. He could possibly have that if properly groomed. I don't know if I've seen much of anybody like him.

Honestly? I don't think Star fits our scheme.

I think he's a 4-3 guy, not a 3-4 guy. And you usually don't want to take a guy that falls that far in the 2nd. He's falling for a reason.

Yeah, sure. But again, if he checks out medically, Canty-Star-Poe could be pretty damn good, with others coming off the bench.

Okay - you'll have to defend that one. And here's the toughest route to it:

There's no argument made by anyone that Matt Barkley wouldn't have been the 3rd QB off the board last season in a draft that many are calling the strongest QB class since 1983.

Now all of the sudden he's the 2nd or 3rd QB off the board in the worst QB class in a decade?

Did Barkley get a hell of a lot worse or has the examination of this year's class under the microscope of the 2012 class become unreasonably critical? Matt Barkley was essentially in that class, slotted and ready to go to the Redskins or Dolphins. After going nose to nose with Luck last season, people were convinced that Barkley was 1b to Lucks 1a.

C'mon, this class isn't that bad and it's a damn sight better than, for instance, the Bradford draft. It's just had such a bizarre tilt to it after last year's class that nobody can look at it objectively.

Shariff Floyd. If I were going DT, I'd go with the guy that's 3.5 yrs younger and just as gifted athletically (if not more so).

Just like Joeckel, if there are 2 'once in a lifetime' prospects in a draft, I'm going to think twice about whether or not they're truly once in a lifetime. Sometimes they are (last year's QBs), but more often than not, Sheldon Richardson just ends up another Suh...or worse yet, another Dorsey.

Anybody notice what position both SB teams were stacked at?

Suggs
Lewis
Ellerbee
Kruger

Smith
Bowman
Willis
Brooks

Best post I've read in awhile.

The problem I think with the value comparison is, what if the Chiefs see him as a Brady Quinn not a McNabb? What value does he have if they think he isn't the guy? I know he's the highest rated this year, but that doesnt mean he's a sure fire starter just because we all want him to be. I want a QB bad this year, and honestly I'm having a hard time waving the banner for anyone ahead of him. I'm finding myself trying to overlook a lot. Total Access tonight made my stomach sink a little watching his interview with Mooch. (yep interview again) When asked to repeat the play Mooch drew up he blanked at first, then had to be prompted 3 times as he forgot progression, protection, and terminology. I've watched I think every QB with Mooch and Gruden the last few years and I dont remember anyone needing more than 1 prompt. Add the repeated "Alex Smiths value went up today", and "how does he make such great throws and turn around and miss so badly on the next?", and I think its reasonable to give a little pause when talking about #1 overall pick.

Yeah. That's what did it. If only the Chiefs could get that missing piece at ILB.

Sheldon Richardson was one of the few players that worked his ass off. Sure he made stupid decisions, but when have we had the huddle and decided we want smart Defensive linemen all of a sudden?
