Chiefs on the Verge of Signing Their First Draft Pick of the Off-Season

You can all take a deep breath now. Mr. Irrelevant, the last pick of the 2009 NFL draft, K Ryan Succop is on the verge of completing a contract with the Kansas City Chiefs. Succop would be the Chiefs' first 2009 draft pick to sign.
More from Kent Babb:
The Chiefs and seventh-round pick Ryan Succop have agreed to terms of a three-year contract that the kicker will sign Thursday morning, Succop's agent, Joel Turner, told The Star on Wednesday afternoon.
Turner said the sides agreed to terms today, but a Chiefs employee had to leave team headquarters early Wednesday, delaying the signing another day.
Turner would not reveal the amount of Succop's impending deal, but media organizations in South Carolina, where Succop played college football, reported that the contract will be worth $1.2 million.
Succop probably had to get the deal quickly because he's the guest of honor at, and I can't believe I'm typing this, a $100 a plate dinner celebrating Mr. Irrelevant.

I had Succop on a fantasy team for a while. Seemed pretty consistent. He’s no ordinary Mr. Irrelevant, but I still kind of question how big a concern PK really was to the team. I kind of felt the same way when they drafted Medlock to “compete” with Tynes, but then, Medlock was taken about 200 picks earlier in their respective drafts.

Barth isnt too bad
But I’ve been a Gamecocks fan a long time and Succop has the potential to be a really good PK. Not only does he have a big time leg and good accuracy he’s extremely clutch under pressure. Of all the games I’ve seem him play(omitting last year when he played injured and by no means should have been playing) I’ve only ever seen him miss one big FG which was a 45+ yarder to tie a game against the Vols, in overtime, a couple years ago.
Thank God
Now I can stop having nightmares about him missing training camp.
Pffeew!
"...Said he couldn't go on the American way"
Not so fast
Remember our 7th round pick from last year, Mike Merritt, was the last pick signed (though that was due to injury).
But I know what you mean, it’s a no brainer getting him into camp.

The only reason it took so long for Merritt to sign
is because he was too stoned to leave his house. He finally went in to sign his contract when he ran out of ganja.,
For justice we must go to Don Pioli
Dude, Where's my Car, I got a big fattie at Arrowhead.
