One of the biggest surprises for me in the Chiefs’ recent draft class was the selection of SS DaJuan Morgan (N.C. State). While our current starter at that spot (Bernard Pollard) obviously had some issues last season, especially in pass coverage, I was a bit shocked that the Chiefs front office would choose to go […]

The sentiments of the title reflect my own in more ways than one after watching the Chiefs select TE Brad Cottam with their second pick in the third round of the NFL Draft last week. In fact, I think my exact words went something like this:

* Update *
The Chiefs have signed these UDFAs as well as of 7:45pm CST:
RB - Kalvin McRae (Ohio)
From NFL.com:
One tough hombre, willing to take the ball as many times as needed to get the job done (averaged 24.5 carries per game in 2007). A three-time first-team All-MidAmerican Conference back, McRae is used to carrying the […]
