Fugg off Kris Wilson - Page 4

Abba-Dabba · 04-28-2004, 11:56 AM

I'm happy with the draft this year. Did we fill every need? NO.. Did we really think we were going to fill every need? NO...

The veteran players on the roster now in those positions of need are just going to have to buck up and do their job better.

I agree. While some people thought we reached for players like Siavii and Wilson, I would rather see them reach for players THEY BELIEVE will help our team over players that will satisfy the public's desire to see a specific need filled by a media choice that would likely go the way of most draft picks anyway.

Wilson is going to be great for us. The guy can play fullback, Tight end, even some wide reciever, and also is a good gunner on special teams.

This guy can do 4 different things for us, whereas a kicker hardly gets into the game.

Besides, we already have Lawrence Tynes signed to a contract, a 2 year deal if I remember, after he lit up the CFL last year. I think he hit 84% of his FGs and has a strong leg. If we drafted Kaeding, that would have made 3 kickers on the roster. That makes less sense than 4 tight ends, one of which can play 4 different spots.

Somewhere there's a thread from early this season in which I said something to the effect of "does anyone doubt that Kris Wilson will be cut after this year?"

Oooooops.

Yep, I have a lot of posts on here stating how great I thought Craphonso Thorpe was going to be as well.

If he is really a top 60 player... excellent...Carl is a genious [CP sp] If he succeeds, Ill be stoked and praise Carl...if not.. and Wilson gets cut in 2-3 years, you can bet Ill have the same kinda smirk that Eli had on his face when he finally got that Giants jersey.

Is the value of a FG still 3 points?

Kaeding is going to have a hard time kicking a game-winner against when we score 4 times as many TD's as San Diego does.

The Wilson picked really pissed me off at the time.........I'm now taking a wait and see approach..............

28-24

Sure seems like Kaeding could have been a difference maker in that game.

Exactly. If we're in position to lose to the Chargers by a field goal, we're in the kind of shape that even the Almighty Kaeding couldn't help.

well i would be interested in how many people now, would still prefer Kris Wilson or Nate Kaeding...

My guess is over 90% would want Kaeding, if not more. I wont make a poll, because this is a dead horse.

While not a big fan of the pick, I hope that every player in a CHIEFS uniform turns into a Hall of Famer, that benefits the CHIEFS. Hoping that players that are on the CHIEFS roster fail becasue you don't like the pick is counterproductive to the CHIEFS winning. My main concern is the CHIEFS with a SB ring, not focusing on who I hope fails. I remember the discord on Dante Hall for a couple of years, but everybody is glad that we have him now. GO CHIEFS.

I actually like the Kris Wilson pick, i've played the college football game and let me tell u he is pretty darn good on there and he's not a TE he plays FB on there. He may be better than Centers, Anders, and Richardson.

Last night, the NFL channel was showing a Larry Fitzgerald highlight. On the play, Wilson lined up at tight end on the same side. Wilson got off the line so quick and blew past the linebackers so fast, he drew triple coverage and Fitzgerald beat single coverage for a nice 20 yard gain.

If Wilson was 30 lbs lighter, he would have been considered just as good a receiving prospect as Clayton or Woods, imo.

He had a good night tonight, except the 2 drops, just another solid weapon for this O.
