Here I am in my second draft as a GM of a team who has won 4 or less games 3 years straight. The franchise has hit a historic low and I need to turn this around now. I need to generate excitement in this team and not only fill the seats, but start a new era for Chiefs football. I personally want to go back to the glory days where Arrowhead was a place other teams did not want to play, where the defense was dominant and the crowd deafening. We have a QB who can manage the game, not sling it around the field, but manage. I am wanting to build a team around defense (think Baltimore Ravens)

First off I hope i'm not breaking any rules by posting this, and NO it is not me selling it. That said i just found an Authentic (or so it would seem) 1996 DT Pro Bowl jersey on ebay...currently at around $38 but sure to go up. I am just posting this here because i am sure it would make a nice collectable for someone here. If I had the money I would scoop it up in a heartbeat.

It was just something that I would like in my collection personally so i figure some of you may be interested. Again sorry if I am not allowed to post this. i won't post a link unless its ok.

After the season ended I was really discouraged about the short term future of this franchise. Then Peterson resigned and we waited forever to figure out who the new GM would be. When Pioli was announced I got a new sense of enthusiasm about the teams future. We had just signed the top GM prospect.

Then came the seemingly neverending wait for the HC decision...and Herm was fired. Then comes the Superbowl and we still have no HC and it was driving me nuts. I didn't know what we were going to do and started to think we were running out of options.

Today Haley is announced and we now have 2 very bright people in out top 2 positions.

Anyways, I am rambling but after seeing the job Clark Hunt has done with his first 2 selections I am probably more excited than i have ever been during the offseason. I am loving the fact that people are writing articles saying "with Pioli and Haley and 45 mil salary cap room KC is suddenly looking scary".

I just want to know if everyone is as excited and optomistic as I am about the next few years in KC. With a new stadium and a change in leadership and what I feel will be a huge offseason for us, the sky's the limit. I really feel that we can be a strong playoff team very soon. Things are looking up.....way up for the Chiefs.

EDIT: Damn I almost forgot DT was also voted to the Hall of Fame finally. Another positive for us this offseason.

If Crabtree has a monster combine. I think that everyone has seen what he can do on the field and is already high on him. He is easily a top 3-4 pick already. If he can put up solid numbers at the gombine and have a strong pro-day it would only benefit KC. HE WILL NOT GET PAST Seattle at number 4. If he can up his value even more than it is already teams will be jumping at the chance o grab him before seattle can. i hope this happens. Hell even worse case we tell Seattle if we can't find a trade partner we are gong to pick him. Maybe we can trade down 1 spot and pick up an extra 3rd round pick or something.
