Another point is that precious few scribes and pundits heading into the game ignored the huge wart the Chiefs had: they posted 12 wins by one score. What does that indicate? That the Chiefs were not a powerhouse. They were good, but not historically great. Close wins tend to paper over flaws. That paper can get torn to shreds in the playoffs.
When it comes to a choice between drafting a Boy Scout with talent or a thuggish character-risk of equal talent, take the thug.
I'd love to talk to McGinn about this. Nobody knows how much those back at Georgia couldn't stand Carter than him, talking to all those scouts.
In the end, he nukes games. You want those players.

Perfectly said.
Similar to 2011 Packers. That defense got gashed all season long.
The biggest beating the eagles gave out, however were against Tyler Dunne’s predictions, as he picked against them every week in the playoffs…. 😂😂
Good read. Appreciate the coverage.
I deserve any and all scorn on those picks. Was so lights out on the 2023 playoff picks, I got blinded by Mahomes ‘n co.
A disbeliever no more.
