Come on IB, you know as well as anyone right now that no one knows which of those 2 guys is going to be the better pro. You have an opinion. Emery has an opinion. It was not the pick I was expecting, but I am willing to actually wait and see this guy on the field. Til then it is all a guessing game.
Valid. I don't know this kid will be a disaster. I do know that this kid would have been there at 20, or 21, or 22, or maybe even 32, and if not there were perfectly equivalent DEs if you really wanted to do that. I love Wendy's but if you pay $100 for a Baconator you screwed up even if the Baconator is really good.
Plus I think "Phil Emery: Draftmaster" has been wildly overblown. Those Chiefs drafts have kind of sucked in retrospect despite stockpiling picks.
and you bought the baconacter despite them having cheap water during a drought.
Not only is Carimi not 100% healthy yet, we don't know whether he can actually play in the NFL. I could have been a little more complimentary of the pick if the #1 OG and #2 OT were not on the board.
I still think you look at this as missed opportunities in one of two ways 1) making a value pick at OL or 2) trading up just a couple of spots to get a MUCH more highly thought of DE.
