| Oh Kevin Lockett...You know I could never put you on this list. |
I haven't been watching ESPN lately but I imagine that they are covering the Jay Cutler/Josh McDaniels tempertantrum ad nauseum. To mitigate that sickness in your stomach, let's take a bit of time out of your day in order to rag on the Kansas City Chiefs' inept drafting over the years.
That should make us all feel better, right?
As I perused this list of the Chiefs' second round picks, I'm drawn to the defensive toxic waste that was brought to KC during Carl Peterson's tenure. In case you forgot...
In the last 7 years, the Chiefs have spent 4 of 7 First round picks on Defense, EVERY Second round pick on Defense, and 5 Third rounders on Defense.
Yes, DThomasReigns, quoting Jack Harry, provided one of the saddest stats I've ever read about our team. Unfortunately, we see that trend again today, as we examine the worst second round picks ever by the Kansas City Chiefs.
The contenders are after the jump.
QB Mike Elkins (1989, #32 overall)
- 1-2 passing in his career with the Chiefs
- 5 yards passing with the Chiefs
- 16.7 QB rating
The only picture I could find (via www.thesabre.com)
QB Matt Blundin (1992, #40 overall)
- TD:INT - 0-2
- Passing yards: 15
- QB rating: 0.0
RB Mike Cloud (1999, #54 overall)
- Played four seasons
- 121 rushing attempts
- 381 yards rushing
- 4 touchdowns
DE Eddie Freeman (2002, #43 overall)
- 15 tackles
- 0 starts
TE Kris WIlson (2004, #61 overall)
- Receptions: 42
- Receiving Yards: 345
- Receiving TDs: 4
DT Junior Siavii (2004, #36 overall)
- 13 tackles
- 0 starts
What a terrible waste of draft picks. Junior Siavii takes the cake IMO. You're a second round DT and you never start a game?

Ah the spithood, what a character.
Now hopefully this team is fun to watch again! Thanks Scott, Clark!!
Very close, IMO,
between Elkins, Blundin, Freeman and Siavii. If I had to narrow it down, it would be down to Freeman or Siavii. I’m not sure I could pick between the two.
I know I went with Siavii
but you definitely say Mike Elkins as well. You’re drafted 32nd overall and you show up for literally two passes?

Ditto
We should combine the two and call them Junior Freeman.
On a serious note: WHY would you ever draft someone named “Blundin”.
Names you should also not draft:
Fumble
Interception
Pick-Six (one of those progressive families)
Carl Peterson
"I will fight you!"
"What is your weapon?"
"My bare hands!"
"That is stupid. I will use a sword and I will cut off your bare hands."

Blundin
Too close to “blunder” (which he turned out to be…since we could have had Phillippi Sparks, Eddie Robinson, Chuck Smith, or even Amp Lee).
I believe that occasionally our name does determine our fate in life and his name was a curse for a football player.
Predictions for 2009
1. Todd Haley's going to struggle with managing his staff in his rookie year as head coach.
2. The Lions will draft Matt Stafford, the Rams will draft Jason Smith, and the Chiefs will draft either Aaron Curry or Eugene Monroe.
I went Blundin
He may have thrown more passes than Etkins, but he ended his career with a QB rating of 0 and threw as many interceptions as Etkins threw passes. As for Siavii….he sucked. But luckily for him we once drafted a DT with the number 6 pick and he was terrible. By comparison Siavii wasn’t as big a disappointment. The QBs on the other hand… If any had worked out, we wouldn’t have wasted years floundering with the likes of Bono and Grbac. Carl Peterson, you suck. I sure hope Pioli is as good as everyone thinks, we need to draft batter. A lot better.
It's Between Elkins And Blundin
I’d give the edge to Elkins for being crappier…mainly because he was drafted a little earlier and had all of two pass attempts for his pro career (compared to 9 for Blundin…8 of those with the Chiefs). God, Carl Peterson was the worst judge of QB talent. Seriously, the man was completely clueless. 0 for 6 in the draft…even Marty Schottenheimer (who developed three outstanding young QBs in his career) couldn’t make chicken salad out of the chicken shit that Peterson gave him at that position.

The QB picks are compelling as the worst ever
Because the Chiefs needed a franchise QB so bad during those times.

All They Had To Be Able To Do Was Not Completely Suck
And they’d have gotten a shot at being a starter. When Elkins was drafted, DeBerg was hardly a favorite son in KC. He was fighting off Steve Fricking Pelleur for a starting job and Marty had already shown he was okay on going with young QBs (like he did with Bernie Kosar in Cleveland).
Seriously, his idiocy at drafting QBs was the thing that drove me absolutely nuts about Peterson. After 20 years, he should have been able to find a decent starter in the draft by accident. But no, he continued to fuck up every year and never accepted responsibility for drafting scrubs.

Chiefs' Hall Of Shame
Elkins, Blundin, Matthews, Blundin, Barnes, and Croyle…just a murderer’s row of team killers right there. Half of them drafted with first-day picks.

Siavii I HATE YOU SO MUCH
YOU LITTLE DICKFACE PUSSY!!!
There are no stupid questions just stupid people
At Least He Got On The Field
Elkins and Blundin couldn’t even do that. And that was back when we desperatedly needed a QB to step up.

Wow
Lots of anger there. Did you lose money on that or something?
by Chris Thorman on Mar 23, 2009 1:56 PM CDT up reply actions
HELL YES
I bet my friend who is a Chargers fan that Siavii would pan out better than Olshansky and I lost $500 on it yo
Then Igor goes off and gets more tackles and sacks in his rookie year than Siavii got in his entire career.
GOODNESS I HATE YOU SIAVII SO MUCH!!! IF I COULD VOTE FOR YOU ON THIS A ZILLION TIMES IT STILL WOULDN’T COMPENSATE FOR MUCH I HATE YOU!!!
There are no stupid questions just stupid people
haha
how do you do that?
Igor 6’5" 309 pounds
Siavii 6’5" 330 pounds
oh wait…. now I see your point haha sucks for you… YO
Time is a great teacher... unfortunately it kills all it's pupils.
Tough choices
I went with Elkins in a tight race with Siavii and Blundin. Pat Barnes, you know I actually thought he had a chance.
Freeman vs. Siavii
At least Siavii has stayed in the league, suckering the Cowboys into contracts whereas Freeman was the league….what? 2 seasons? Freeman takes the cake

I'll bet Freeman could have been good
if we had just let him hit people with his helmet like he did to John Tait. Between that bs and Carl Peterson, no wonder Tait wanted out of here so bad.
Never kick a fresh turd on a hot day.
Harry S. Truman
He's not even good in the CFL
I doubt he would have fared better in the NFL

I really wanted to pick Siavii
But I just couldn’t escape the memories of how INCREDIBLY IRRITATED I got every time Kristine Wilson-Phillips drop an chip-shot pass. Especially when he was supposed to be “The Next Tony G.” That guy ticked me off more than anyone else on this team in recent memory, so I guess he was still fresh in my head.
being a Panther
couldnt go against my own.
"I will fight you!"
"What is your weapon?"
"My bare hands!"

Imagine if all our first and second round busts had lived up to their potential
We would have been such an awesome team lol
Let's not act like most teams don't have the same drafting problems
Marley will be walking soon...she could probably play Linebacker better than some of the guys we had.
Most Teams Don't Have The Same Drafting Problems
Peterson’s record of drafting was absolutely abysmal. He was below NFL norms on hit/bust rates for first day picks. Just a crap evaluator of talent once you got outside the first round (and not so good in the first round).
Right now, every single player except Dwayne Bowe is looking like a bust from the 2007 class. Our first rounder in 2006 was a bust and we got only two players out of that class (Pollard in the 2nd round, Page in the 7th). Our 2005 draft class netted us a first-round underachiever and a punter. Our 2004 draft class got us Jared Allen and a bunch of guys who filled space for awhile but contributed little. Our 2003 draft was one of the stronger ones, getting us Larry Johnson (who we didn’t use full-time for two years) and Kawika Mitchell. Our five drafts before that were pretty horrible.
Carl Peterson simply sucked at drafting and evaluating talent. He was horrible…the problems with the Chiefs were almost entirely his fault (and Lamar Hunt’s, for not having the balls or respect for the fans to fire Peterson’s constantly underachieving ass).
Predictions for 2009
1. Todd Haley's going to struggle with managing his staff in his rookie year as head coach.
2. The Lions will draft Matt Stafford, the Rams will draft Jason Smith, and the Chiefs will draft either Aaron Curry or Eugene Monroe.
I Went With Elkins
just because I had never heard of the guy, so i figured he had to suck.
Beat the Donkeys!!
That Was Wise
He well and truly sucked.

I was thinking the same thing
but, still voted for Siavii. I was hoping he was the next “Big Dan Saleameua”
I am going with Siavi because we traded out of the first round to get him.
We did, didn’t we?
Toby is in HR, which technically means he works for corporate, so he's really not a part of our family. Also, he's divorced, so he's really not a part of his family.
