Picks that left me wondering…
OT Colin Brown, Kansas City Chiefs
Brown was a bit of a shocker on draft day as I didn’t even expect to see him get picked. So I went back and looked over my scouting reports and realized why I didn’t give him a draftable grade. It read: "Plays too tall, lacks the type of strength a frame his size would indicate. Does a decent job on his initial kick step, but lacks the fluidity and body control needed to redirect in space. Not a natural bender who looks stiff and plays too top heavy, has a tendency to lunge and will lose his balance easily." I saw Brown only twice this past year, but once was against the talented Oklahoma Sooners, and his lack of athleticism was apparent vs. their defensive line. That shortcoming will be even more apparent at the next level.

Tis what is needed with the God Father ( pioli )!!! I imagine he sees something the scouts didnt and his track record from the Pats dictates that we MUST BELIEVE until he trully gives us something to ?, this is what we need to do~
We could ? every pick he made this year to be honest, but when its all said and done, he went out and got HIS kind of player, which in turn, is NOW OUR KIND OF PLAYER!
GOOO CHIEFS

i'm not going to get too worked up
… over these contradicting scouting reports. i think it’s funny that the word ‘athleticism’ has been just about this guy’s shining attribute in all the other scouting reports i’ve read (former basketball player).
i know for a fact that pioli and haley watched more than two games on him also. whenever i hear people say things like “i’m surprised this guy got drafted” i cant help but think about what pioli once said about tom brady. he basically said that if they knew then what they know now, he wouldnt have lasted into the later rounds, even despite his ‘projected round’. they would have taken him with their first pick. so when i see them take a guy like brown, there is obviously something they like about him. so for the moment, i trust this pick.
