Rate my draft with the KC Chiefs

[Wavebird99]

Simmed the season and finished 6-10, mostly due to Matt Cassel going down with a torn hamstring and also trading away Larry Johnson for Cincinnati's first and 2nd round picks in the draft.

1st Round, Pick 1 – Jordan Shipley, WR/Texas OVR: 83 POT: A
1st Round, Pick 4 – Sam Young, RT/Notre Dame OVR: 77 POT: A
2nd Round, Pick 1 – Lee Grimes, G/Texas A&M OVR: 70 POT: A
2nd Round, Pick 4 – Riley Cooper, WR/Florida OVR: 73 POT: B
3rd Round, Pick 4 – Rico McCoy, OLB/Tennessee OVR: 64 POT: B
4th Round, Pick 4 – Jordan Lake, FS/Baylor OVR: 61 POT: B
5th Round, Pick 4 – Thomas Austin, C/Clemson OVR: 57 POT: C
6th Round, Pick 4 – Ted Larson, G/NC State OVR: 53 POT: C
7th Round, Pick 4 – Keaton Kristick, OLB/Oregon State OVR: 50 POT: C

My main needs were WR and OL. I think I still need help with my OL.

good draft but the trade seems bogus imo...1st and 4th at best but even thats iffy given Larry Johnsons age etc.

Re: Rate my draft with the KC Chiefs

I made a decision to only do trades that were on the trade block, as to not exploit the CPU.

Around Week 5 I put Larry Johnson up on the trade block just to see what I could get for him, maybe a solid OL or something. I was shocked I got the offer from the Bengals for their 1st and 2nd round picks. I took it because it was a trade block deal. It wasnt like I set out to rob the CPU of picks.

Also, just a few notes on my guys.

- Both Jordan Shipley and Riley Cooper are 99 return guys. I have Shipley returning kicks and Cooper returning punts. In only his 2nd pre-season kick return, Shipley ran one to the house for me. I like him alot, but he cost me alot of money.

- I'm a little bit disappointed with both Sam Young and Lee Grimes, my first two choices to fill my OL. Although they have A potential, I investigated the other OL who were drafted early and almost all of them are mid-high 80s overall. Pretty upset that I missed out on some of those guys.

- All the guys with high 50 overalls and C potential will probably never see any playing time, I feel like I wasted those picks. Jordan Lake, my FS who I thought would be a steal in the 4th round, ended up being kind of useless.

Re: Rate my draft with the KC Chiefs

I am also a diehard Chiefs fan, however I have cleaned house with the roster. I traded Cassel/1st rounder for Stafford. Also traded Bobby Ingram and a 2nd for Hester, signed Marvin Harrison and traded him and a low pick for Percy Harvin... LJ and a couple others for McFadden/Heyward-Bey.. Tons of other trades but to make a long story short I went 16-0 in first season on All-Pro with no re-starts. Won the SB, traded DBowe for the #1 overall pick (don't know why Mia took that) and traded that for the #2 and minnesota's 2nd. Traded the #2 overall for Crabtree and San Francisco's 2nd round pick. I also traded jamaal charles, next years 1st (I don't plan on it being a good pick) for Bush. I turned Harvin and Hester in RB's, and my lineup is freaking stacked. Say what you want, but my roster (legit trades, force-trade NOT on) includes: Stafford, Heyward-Bey, Crabtree, Harvin, Maclin (also traded for him), Bush, Hester, McFadden. I run a shotgun set with Heyward-Bey and Crabtree on the outside, Bush, Harvin, Maclin inside and McFadden at tailback. Needless to say, my wildcat formation is off the chains as well.


I almost forgot to mention, I had 30 sacks with Tyson Jackson in a 3-4 defense as a rookie! Stick with Brandon Flowers and Derrick Johnson as they are all over the field. I had pick-6's with both vs Aaron Rodgers in the SB (DJ had 3 total picks, Rodgers threw 5 total).

Jesus Christ, that sounds like a horrible way to play the game. There is no way 90% of those trades would normally go through.

Don't knock it, as long as he likes it and it works for him.

Re: Rate my draft with the KC Chiefs

Good draft, I really would of tried to get the best OL available with the first pick, You probably would of still got Shipley at the four slot, or possibly even traded the four for a young WR that has a little potential. But I will say it's a good draft
