We Do Not Know This Man

Before giving out grades for this we have to see what the early 3rd round pick is. The verdict is not in on this pick yet.

I simply have no idea how anybody could do anything BUT LOVE THIS PICK. Give Baldwin HALFWAY COMPETENT quarterbacking for the last two years, and he's a Top 15 pick. The talent there is disgusting. The character issues are intriguing, but the Chiefs say they have done their due dilligence on him. Let's give him a couple seasons and see exactly how good our DD was. Did I mention we ALSO NETTED A HIGH 3RD? God, what a smash. We clearly never wanted Carimi, but we had the entire league so freaking fooled the Bears tried to trade up for him.

What I also like about Baldwin is that Cassel has accuracy problems on the deep ball. His size will really help on those plays as opposed to a Titus Young type.

Well some of the comments underscore why the NFL draft is akin to a modern day meat market for would be gladiators. Not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing! On an entirely different note I am absolutely delighted with this pick. Regardless how one feels about Pioli, he proved today he is willing to make bold decisions. We need to toss the notion that he will always take the " safe pick". Forget all the conjecture about what the "right 53 " actually means inside of Arrowhead. We are not working hard enough on reading the Tea Leaves!

Big Matt, you look like you should've been in the original "The Hiils Have Eyes" in that picture. Love the humility you showed by putting that up BTW. I admit I know probably less about our new receiver than was shown last night on draft coverage, but I am stoked that we finally put some chips in the center of the table to gamble on a WR. I think with the draft last year and the core group of leaders the chiefs have they can start being a little less strict on character pre-requisites when getting new talent. If they have that many people on the team that were team captains then they should have a group capable of handling a player with a little attitude. Plus your best people are most often the ones that are hardest to manage. Now we just have to beef up the lines and get some people that will give Matty Nice time to throw the ball...

6 foot 4 1/2 Exceptional leaping ability Recently timed on campus at 4.37 Mike Mayock had him at Number 29 to the Bears Will he stretch defenses? Will he help in the Red Zone? Will he be a great target on third and eight? Will teams be less likely to double Bowe? Will he help make the offense more balanced between running and passing? Will he make it more difficult to game plan the Chiefs? I believe that the answer to these questions is "Yes" but we will see.

Thanks for the name drop Big Matt and for the warning I've kept my kid away from the computer this whole time and for good reason. On Baldwin barring any freak injuries the dude is going to be the next Plaxico Burress hopefully with out gunning down his leg on accident with all the big plays in the redzone. He is everything Dexter McCluster isn't on the football field and I love that. ala (Titus Young) Never dreamed we would trade down but I am satisfied we did forsure. Tonite is going to be crazy.

I got a belief that this pick was Haley's. At least we can credit Pioli with the trade down and not killing the pick. And for we, fans, let go of the "right 53" bs we have heard ad nauseum. No team ever had the right 53, they are always looking for improvement. With this pick, good or bad, we get a better feel about the current Chief's organ. To me this is the real first step of becoming a dominate force. Not the kid, he is ok, no the attitude of the organ. The will pay huge dividends as the Chiefs develope.

I believe I now know exactly what "right 53" means. The core concept of that every player you bring to the team is brought in for the sole purpose of ultimately winning a Superbowl. If/when you do win a Superbowl, you are deemed the ultimate puppetmaster of personnel because all you have to do is point to your team and say "Look there. Right 53!" You see, we all been led to believe that "right 53" is some kind of prospective/proactive vision when in fact it's really designed to be retrospective/reactive reflection. Riddle solved.

Matt, It is not only the children you have scared. I'm afraid I may not be able to take my afternoon nap at work today.

OMG that pic! Stranger danger.

I would like to first explain that I didn't know hardly anything about this guy before we drafted him. I did a bunch of reading up on him since and I too am loving it more and more. My reasoning for liking the pick is that FINALLY the Chiefs show they understand the problem at WR can't be fixed by washed up free agent veterans. If he busts, he busts. I just like the fact that they absolutely drafted a big area of need that has been ignored for far too long. I also love the trading back. As the draft went along, no names were jumping out that I wanted. There was a handful of talent that I would have been happy with. That is the perfect opportunity to trade back. Well done, Pioli and Co, and I am also looking forward to today's picks.

Five words on why we shouldn't have been so completely shocked by Pioli putting his faith in a freakishly talented 6'4" WR with questionable character: New England Patriot Randy Moss. Still a huge surprise last night based on all the pre-draft speculation, but the track record is there.
