It seems there was some confusion with the RIAs. I’ll shoulder the blame for that one. Important is a pretty vague word. It allows for too wide a variation in interpretation, and eventually was bound to degenerate into a simple ranking of positional importance, which is not what I’m interested in. I want to talk about [...]
The Annual Post-Draft Roster Importance Analysis (RIA)
Every year (starting now) at the Chiefschat we take time after the draft to analyze the state of the roster. The important additions have been made, so this is as good a time as any to make an initial assessment of where we’re at as a team. We call this post The Roster Importance Analysis. [...]
Chiefs use second round picks to address all-important KR depth
Those of you who were worried our primary kick returner might get injured next season can officially breathe easy. The Chiefs suddenly have more kick returning depth than any team in the league. Good thing, too. I’ve got a feeling we’re gonna be fielding a lot of kickoffs. Sorry for the gloom gang, but your [...]
The BoyzenBerrys ride again (for the first time)
It took all of two seconds for Eric Berry to become my favorite Kansas City Chief. As soon as they showed him on that phone I was on board. Okung was a distant memory. Instead we went with an awesome, exciting player at a position of need. It doesn’t get any better than that. I [...]
Rd 1 open thread
I think about Eric Berry and my spirits soar. I think about Russel Okung and greedily rub my hands together. I think about Ndamukong Suh and my imagination runs wild. I think about a trade down and sagely nod my head. I think about The Whale and I want to take a dump. About 30 minutes ago [...]
The BMCC 2010 NFL Draft Dos and Do Not Dos – Part 2
Nice chatter on the Do Not Dos. I think most of us were generally in agreement on htose guys. A lot of them were pretty obvious. I’m second-guessing my decision to put Trent Williams on the list as I don’t really have anything in particular against him. But still, I don’t want to see him [...]
The BMCC 2010 NFL Draft Dos and Do Not Dos – Part 1
All right Hatters, draft week is finally here. And by a stroke of good fortune, for the next two weeks I’m house-sitting a posh crib a few blocks from my apartment. The only three days of this year I’ll really need cable and its delivered unto mine hands via a gigantic flat screen TV. Life can be pretty cool sometimes. I need to remember to [...]
Redundant draft chatter
I’m not going to bore you by talking about what the experts think. Guys like Mel Kiper and Todd McShay have valuable analysis, but not when it comes to what Scott Pioil is thinking. There is no reason to give any credence to their predictions. Even Bill Williamson, who knows the AFC West pretty well, doesn’t have a [...]
The forgotten hole (and no, I don’t mean the butt)
We’ve spent this entire offseason discussing the many holes the Chiefs have to fill. Offensive line, safety, receiver, linebacker, nose tackle, they’ve all gotten their share of our attention. But other than the occasional Bad Cottam joke, we haven’t really discussed the tight end position. Scott Pioli, uncharacteristically, has: “It’s a pretty strong tight end group. It’s a [...]
Washington continues to pretend its 2005
“The Redskins are having an amazing offseason. That LJ signing was brilliant.” -Dayton Moore What the hell are the Redskins doing? First LJ, then Willie Parker, and now they’ve mortgaged another chunk of their future on an injury-prone quarterback whose best days are far behind him. McNabb is an upgrade over “Cam” Campbell, but do they really think [...]
