The Draft

As I've shared a million times before, I don't pay attention to anything Chiefs, at least not right now. Um, ahem, why then do I not only have a Chiefs blog, but actually squeeze in some time to write down a few things about what's going on with the Chiefs right now?

I do this blog because I really like the Chiefs. I don't pay any attention to anything except game action stuff because no matter what, all the outside stuff just drives me crazy. I am writing now because I'm presently going to write about future game action, naturally related to what's happening tomorrow.

I'm not so dense to fail to recognize that the first round of the draft is tomorrow. This is the first time I've blogged about it before the event itself. Some years in the past I've posted about this or that guy we got. This time I'm posting before, for one simple reason.

I trust John.

So far John Dorsey has killed it in the draft. This is why I'm great with whatever John decides to do. I'm thrilled we have someone there who's going to make whatever decisions that need to be made to ensure our team will win playoff games.

See, that's the key.

Look, as it is I confess I have been nervous about hoping one of those fine QB's or RB's is there for us to snatch at our, what, 25th pick? Again, I don't know, but the pick is down there somewhere.

I know there's the Clemson QB, the Notre Dame QB, and some other QB's they've talked about. I don't know much about any of them except that I saw them play a bit in college a couple times, and my radar has picked up that these guys are highly considered. My brother mentioned that we should not get that Texas Tech QB, he says he's not as good as they say. That makes me nervous, but if we end up with him -- again, I'm great with what John thinks Andy can do with him.

I know there's the Louisiana State RB, the Stanford RB, and the Florida State RB, and if we can't get that QB, I'd love to pick up one of those guys.

We really really really need that QB, though -- oh that for once that guy would land in our laps -- 

For ----- fuh-reekin' ----- once.

But then I think, what if all those guys are taken by the time our pick comes around.

Disconsolation. Mnffnmph.

But then again...

I trust John.

If all those guys are gone, he'll do what he needs to. Everyone debates obsessively about whether or not the selection should be fill-a-need or take-the-best. If we don't get that world-beater QB or RB, then I think it should be take-the-best, but you know? John knows best.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter who we get.

There's only one thing that counts.

I can't deny that it'd be really really really nice to enjoy, for once in a Chiefs fan's lifetime, there on that crisp Sunday late afternoon, first, second week of January, the Chiefs methodically driving down the field, under two minutes left and behind in the score, but within range and yes, our incisively confident QB

Just takes care of business.

Yeah, it'd be nice if we could enjoy a few of those days, over the course of the next few years or so. With the quarterback we get tomorrow gettin' it done. Or the running back setting things up so whichever quarterback we have can get it done. Or whoever it is that was a take-the-best guy we got in that great 2017 Chiefs draft doing something extraordinary to add to the dramatic proceedings and protracted exuberance of postseason game conquest. Yeah, that's our vision.

But no matter what, it is nice to know John'll get it done now.

So it'll get done then.
