The Kansas City Chiefs have selected Mr. Irrelevant, the final player in the 2009 NFL Draft.
Wow! Mr. Irrelevant is becoming a big deal. He'll be going to Newport Beach, California for some sort of party/media appearance as Mr. Irrelevant.
The Chiefs were in attendance at Succop's Pro Day at the University of South Carolina. For the third time in this draft, our Chiefs Draft Interest page hit.
Succop started for South Carolina for three years. His field goal accuracy is below:
- 2008 - 20/30 66.7%
- 2007 - 13/17 76.5%
- 2006 - 16/20 80%
NFL Draft Scout had him rated as the 7th kicker. He's also worked as a punter but I can't imagine a scenario in which Dustin Colquitt isn't our punter.
This means the Chiefs currently have four kickers competing. In addition to Succop and Connor Barth, the Chiefs signed two free agent kickers. K Robbie DeHaze of Northern Atlantic was also brought in for a workout.
Welcome Ryan Succop!
We'll have a full post about the draft coming soon, as well as undrafted free agent news.
And we're done!

Why not Louie Sakoda?
This reminds me of passing over Mason Crosby for J***** M******. I’m fairly sure that Barth will still be our guy, but at least we’re not making the mistake we did with M****** in not giving him any training camp competition. That in itself is more than a team would normally get from a Mr. Irrelevant, I suppose.

Are you just giving out picks their college numbers in those jerseys
or are those numbers actually avalible? because that would be pretty crazy if all our pickshad their college number. Ryan Succops a beast I love that dude.

true
Primetime when can we expect some free agent signings. As soon as any second?

You use FanShots
That’s usually how we track them. Maybe we’ll create a table or something.

This is a retarded pick
66% accuracy? This is a joke. I am okay with the other picks in the draft but this one honestly had me stumped. There is probably zero percent chance this guy is gonna be on our team because we can only keep one kicker. We should have at least found an inside lineman to develop.

He was hurt
I read his profile and he had an abdominal injury last year that hurt his accuracy. He was pretty bad early in the year. By the second half of the season he had healed and was solid again. Sounds like a good kicker. He could be our guy.

oo didn't know that
I still think we should have taken a center or guard though. Thanks for the info, hopefully he’s better than his stats!

agree with Vince D
A team with this many holes shouldn’t spend any draft pick, even the last one, on the 4th kicker to compete for the job. And this guy has 66% accuracy? What a waste. We could’ve signed a better free agent kicker and drafted a lineman with some sort of upside.

I guess I have to wait til next year
to find one I actually like
The only measure of true success in the NFL is the Vince Lombardi trophy. Anything less is a rationalization.

I voted no
Only because I have wanted them to take Drew Willy with that pick ever since compensatory picks were announced. And then Kiper said the Chiefs should take Willy, and I was going nuts. But they didn’t take him.
Really, it sounds like an okay pick. I was just disappointed it wasn’t my boy Drew Willy.

Geraild Cadogan
This dude wasnt drafted. He was graded a 2nd to 3rd rd pick

I wanted them to pick me
I maybe 46 old and slow but I am just as Irrelevant as the next guy.
Succop could prove to be an excellent pick.
Any other player selected was passed over for many other Better players.
Even QB’s!
this guy would have gone UDFA to somewhere in the South and we would’nt have had a shot.
So if he doesn’t pan out we lost NOTHING and if he does we have a Game winning possibly every week.

Lot of players out there who might make a team
Why not one of these guys instead of Succop?
Gerald Cadogan OT 6’5⅛" 309 Penn State
Cornelius Lewis OT 6’3½" 332 Tennessee State
Jason Watkins OT 6’5⅝" 318 Florida
Alex Boone OT 6’7¼" 328 Ohio State

C.J. Spillman S 6’0" 197 Marshall

Mitch King DE 6’1½" 280 Iowa

Maybe we’ll sign one of them as UFAs at least.

Succop...
I run the SBN Gamecocks site. Here’s what you need to know about Succop. He had one of the longest legs in the college game last year, but consistency is a bit of an issue for him. He missed a bunch of kicks around the middle of 2008, leading to the questionable accuracy rating. Part of the problem seemed to have been some kind of pulled abdominal muscle, but part of it was also in his head, I think. If he can work out confidence issues, he’s got the skills to be a great NFL kicker. If not, oh well.
And yeah, your wives and girlfriends will want to leave you for him as soon as they see his picture.

It IS actually pronounced "Suck-Up"
On Sunday night’s Sportcenter ESPN stated they actually “verified the pronunciation”.
Perhaps that will help him win the starting job.
just keep matriculating the ball down the field !
