One Great Movie Trailer

We all love draft grades.

I love to hear what the experts think about the draft. Everyone puts out draft grades. And I read every single one of them. This year, I especially want to get every piece of information and analysis so I can to prove just how awesome this Chiefs draft class is.

But the truth is, we have no idea how good it is, or if it is good at all. And neither do the experts. We won't know for 3-4 years.

You see, every team's draft is like a movie. With the Chiefs drafting Glenn Dorsey, Branden Albert, Brandon Flowers, and a cast of others, we have just seen an incredible movie trailer. I want to see this movie right away. It looks like it is going to be extremely good. I feel like I just saw the trailer for Cloverfield. Right now, King Carl and the Chiefs are parading their marquee first round draft picks all over the media. They just released their half-season ticket packages to try and cash in on the excitement. They are doing everything they can, because they really don't know how the movie is going to turn out.

A lot can happen before then. The director (Herm) and the editors (Gunther, Chan, etc) need to do their jobs. They need to keep Brodie on his feet and off of his back, find someone to play defensive end, keep LJ healthy, and develop all of the young talent they just accumulated. I think most fans know this isn't all going to happen this year, but we should see flashes of it in 2008. And in 2009 we'd better start seeing major progress. Otherwise, the team's greatest draft in history might turn into this.
