  1. I really expected the Chiefs to trade up. They must be confident their guys will be there.
  2. He's out of the AFC and you know we'll never see him in the SB, so that ain't so bad.
  3. Good gravy. I don;t pay much attention to college ball so I didn't know Neal was so massive.
  4. A couple of solid DEs, an elite WR or two and upgrades at DB would make me happy.
  5. Marino, Eason and O’Brian were all in the board when the Chiefs drafted TB. Geez.
  6. Full disclosure, I loved the Blackledge pick. He was a winner coming off a college championship season with a howitzer for an arm. He was mobile, big and strong. He was the top rated QB after Elway and anyone in the Chiefs spot would have picked him. In 1983, in limited relief of Kenney, he looked phenomenal. When Kenney was hurt the last preseason game in 1984 I was happy Blackledge would get the start. He won a few games and looked pretty good. Then the wheels came off. He made poor decisions and had no idea how to go through his rotation or check down receivers. He often looked lost and frustrated. Lack of a viable running game didn’t help. In a couple of years his status as the worst bust in KC history was unavoidable. So much enormous potential with such failure shocked the front office so much it was another generation before they could draft another first round QB.
