Not me! I thought it was really dumb when they did it and now it looks epically dumb. No one drafts running backs in the first round anymore, and for good reason: you can find them nearly any round and they tend to wear down. Donald Brown looks perfectly competent, so I'm not sure why they couldn't just stay in house. (Though -- GODDAMNIT DONALD* -- his pass protection sucks, so I can understand why they're a bit hesitant to hand him the keys.)

B) That Hilton kid is pretty good. If Reggie Wayne hadn't gotten injured, that's a pretty damned good receiving core.
C) The defense did hold KC to two field goals in the final 1.5 quarters, so there is some potential there.
D) You are right, they need a running game.
A) true! "in part" maybe not doing enough work in my initial comment.
D) I think they need to find many offensive linemen, and really fast. Luck's been the most-hit QB in the league each of the past two years. Especially in the NFL, if you have a good offensive line, you can create running backs and games.
