Oh What Could Have Been

Last night's 1st round was the first and only time I have been absolutely devastated by the draft. Going into it I had zero hope that the Chiefs would actually land Johnny Manziel. The Chiefs are sitting at pick 23 with no second round pick. So obviously they are not going to be trading up to get Manziel when you already have a decent starter in Alex Smith and there is no way the great Johnny football is dropping to 23 right? But as the draft moves along team after team pass on the guy and all of a sudden we are at pick 16 from the cowboys. Jerry Jones picking someone like Manziel makes too much sense. There is no way Jerry is going to pass on having ESPN talk about his team 24/7 365 open on Sundays. Wrong. They take some OT  from Notre Dame that no one gives a shit about. The anti-Jerry Jones pick. Probably a smart move, but shocking non the less.

After the Cowboys there was no team that really needed a qb between the Chiefs pick at 23 and for the first time I was getting legitimately excited. Ravens take a linebacker, Jets nap a safety, Dolphins go tackle, Saints with a wide out, Pack feeling a safety. Holy Shit this is happening. We are a pick away and he is still out there. All that stands between us and Johnny Football is an Eagles wide receiver pick. They don't need a qb. Manziel is going to be a Chief!! Commercial Break...

Back from commercial break... The Philadelphia Eagles have traded the 22nd pick to the Cleveland Browns. My heart sunk. The dream was over. Manziel is going to be a Brown. Seconds later Roger Goodell gave me the bad new I already knew was coming.

Dagger straight to the heart. I didn't even care who the Chiefs drafted at this point. No one could make up for the disappointment I had just suffered. Not everyday Cleveland gets the best of you and let me tell you it does not feel good.

Cleveland is probably the only city that has suffered more in sports than KC so in a way I am kind of happy that they got the certifiable stud that is Johnny Manziel. Still doesn't make up for the fact that I was like a 7th grade chick that just got dumped by her 8th grade boyfriend the rest of the night. Down in the dumps city and Dee Ford didn't help. All the Dee Ford pick tells me is that this is Hali's last year in KC.  They guy might be a fucking stud and I really don't even care. So close to Manziel yet so far away. So Chiefs it hurts.
