[Huffman83]

that's what I was thinking....

[Rausch]

Whatever. Bringing in Thomas DOES NOT mean you'd pass on Curry.

[The Bad Guy]

The sad thing is, if we draft Curry and he turns out to be a good player, some on here will just hate on him because we took him too early.

Some people around these parts are gonna have a shit ton of crow to eat if Curry pans out.

[OnTheWarpath15]

The sad thing is, if we draft Curry and he turns out to be a good player, some on here will just hate on him because we took him too early.

Frank - if he only becomes a "good" player, then people SHOULD hate on him.

Solid doesn't cut it that early - you better get a great, impact, game-changing player.

[Mecca]

What's your definition of good....

An ILB is going to have to be a dominant player for a very long period of time to justify that draft selection.

[Rausch]

Any expert predicting a Chiefs pick should just say "Day one we know they'll draft a safety."

[Huffman83]

I'm all about more early draft picks. But I'm hoping Curry is too good to pass up.

[Mecca]

I'm all about more early draft picks. But I'm hoping Curry is too good to pass up.

I don't see an impact game changer in this draft. In 2 years, I may be wrong, but you can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit with this draft.

I think most on here are too tied up into the fact that every year there are bonifide studs at the top. This year, there aren't. The draft isn't a cookie cutter situation.

[Rausch]

I'll take that next year...

Hold on, forgot the 3rd round is day 2 now...

[RealSNR]

If I had a crystal ball and I saw that Curry was the next Lawrence Taylor, I would draft him at 3, yes.

The odds of that happening? Mmmmnyorp.

[SAUTO]

when is it going to be on?

[Mecca]

Hold on, forgot the 3rd round is day 2 now...

Like I said I'll take that next year...there's gonna be 2 of the best safety prospects ever in that class.

[Dave Lane]

I don't like the pick at all at #3 but I'll understand if we do take him.

[rockymtnchief]

I'm glad ya said Berry. I'm keeping close tabs on him this year.

[DJ's left nut]

Looks like a nice enough player, but that clip doesn't tell us crap.

There were at least 5 picks in there where the QB flat out threw the ball at him. The TD runback was Tebow hitting him in the chest and him getting a running start with only the QB to beat. He only made a couple of plays that I thought were good strong plays on the ball, the rest were just gimme picks or right place/right time fumble recoveries. Oh, and he's got Pollard's disease, kept going high with the shoulder.

I'm certainly not ready to place him up there with Ed Reed or Ronnie Lott on the basis of that clip.

[Micjones]

Berry's supposed to be the better prospect of the two.

[Mecca]

He has better ball skills, he's not as physically impressive...they're very close.

Take into account that video is of him as a true freshman.

[doomy3]

Berry's a freak.

He plays so fast and has great ball skills.

There were a couple shitty throws from Stafford on that video.

[Mecca]

If you really wanna compare them, Berry has better ball skills and has some return ability. Mays is has better measurables and runs faster and is more of a hitter.

They'll likely both be great players although I'm not sure Berry is going to remain a strong safety at the next level with his 5'11 200lb build unless he really is Ed Reed.

[Micjones]

He has better ball skills, he's not as physically impressive...they're very close.

Take into account that video is of him as a true freshman.

So we're talking Ed Reed vs. Troy Polamalu?

[htismaqe]

The sad thing is, if we draft Curry and he turns out to be a good player, some on here will just hate on him because we took him too early.

DJ is a good player. Drafted at #15 overall and disappointing ever since.

If we take Curry at #3 overall, he better be ALOT BETTER than "good".

[Mecca]

So we're talking Ed Reed vs. Troy Polamalu?

In a way Berry is very similar to Reed in the way he's built and what he does. But I'm not sure there is a physical comparison for Mays, he is 6'3 230lbs and is the fastest guy on the SC roster, freaks like him are something to behold.

[htismaqe]

I don't see an impact game changer in this draft. In 2 years, I may be wrong, but you can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit with this draft.

I think most on here are too tied up into the fact that every year there are bonifide studs at the top. This year, there aren't. The draft isn't a cookie cutter situation.

All the more reason to take a player with more value as opposed to someone with the least amount of value.

If the entire upper end of the 1st round doesn't have any bonafide studs, then you have to compare them some other way. Position is a logical place to start. Which moves Curry down the list yet again.

[Mecca]

This.

[Just Passin' By]

DJ is a good player. Drafted at #15 overall and disappointing ever since.

If we take Curry at #3 overall, he better be ALOT BETTER than "good".

This is where the problem lies in the Curry debate, from what I'm seeing here. There are no non-tackle prospects that one can reasonably and confidently claim will be "ALOT BETTER than "good"". It's just that kind of draft.

[Just Passin' By]

All the more reason to take a player with more value as opposed to someone with the least amount of value.

If the entire upper end of the 1st round doesn't have any bonafide studs, then you have to compare them some other way. Position is a logical place to start. Which moves Curry down the list yet again.

Since there are no bonafide studs, the next move is to take the player you think is most likely to be a good player for you, regardless of position, but taking need into account. Your moving Curry would be all well and good IF THEY COULD TRADE THE PICK AND GET CURRY AT A LOWER SPOT. Since there is no publicly known likelihood of that, your codicil makes no sense.

[KcFanInGA]

Holy shit! Thanks for posting that vid Mecca! I dont watch as much college ball as I should and had not heard about this guy Berry.

[Mecca]

Personally I'm leaning Raji no NT for a 3-4 equals complete suck.

[KcFanInGA]

We are going D in this draft. Our Offense actually scored a decent amount last year, so I have a feeling Pioli and Haley will be looking D for sure. I agree with waiting on a safety after watching Berry, and I see good Oline choices in this draft, so Im hoping we go that route.

[KcFanInGA]

Personally I'm leaning Raji no NT for a 3-4 equals complete suck.

But can Raji play in the 4-3? They said we'd probably be using a mix this year, working into the 3-4 slowly. If he can then he'd make sense there.

[Mecca]

Well he's been in a 4-3 in college...

[RUSH]

And with the 3rd overall pick in the 2009 draft, the Kansas City Chiefs select:

Name: Jesus Christ

Position: Our Lord and Savior

School: Jerusalem State

LOL...well played sir

[DTLB58]

Personally I'm leaning Raji no NT for a 3-4 equals complete suck.

Holy crap! We agree!

:doh!:

[DTLB58]

Mayock just said Monroe OT.

[DaneMcCloud]

We are going D in this draft.

No.

This is a terrible year for defensive players. 2010 is the year for defensive players.

Why go against the draft? If you do that, it's called reaching.

The Chiefs need as many as three offensive lineman (four if Waters is moved).

It may not be "sexy" but this is the year for the line.

[ModSocks]

Mayock just said Monroe OT.

As long as he plays RT.....I guess

[htismaqe]

But can Raji play in the 4-3? They said we'd probably be using a mix this year, working into the 3-4 slowly. If he can then he'd make sense there.

Most have said he's better-suited to be a 4-3 undertackle actually.

[htismaqe]

Since there are no bonafide studs, the next move is to take the player you think is most likely to be a good player for you, regardless of position, but taking need into account. Your moving Curry would be all well and good IF THEY COULD TRADE THE PICK AND GET CURRY AT A LOWER SPOT. Since there is no publicly known likelihood of that, your codicil makes no sense.

I don't care if other teams are stupid enough to draft the guy in the top 5. I just hope the Chiefs aren't.

[htismaqe]

Agreed, we got our QB, lets go get offense this offseason. It'll make us exciting to watch, get fans back, and we'll improve the defense next offseason and hopefully be major contenders in 2010.

[Mecca]

I'm fine other than we shouldn't be taking an offensive lineman with a top 3 pick.

[evolve27]

I'm fine other than we shouldn't be taking an offensive lineman with a top 3 pick.

Zach Thomas signing speaks volumes or does it? The 2009 Mike Mayock NFL Draft is gonna blow up this year at pick 3.

What if BJ Raji is their guy?

That'd be good! Never really thought of that. Stupid question, who's our D Coord.? I'm going to hell i know.

[Kyle DeLexus]

It'd be nice to trade down where we can pick up DHB and get a few more picks maybe pick up one of the pass rushing tweeners somewhere then build the line. Get one of the C's and revamp our right side. If we trade Tony for ATL's 2nd it would help this.

[T-post Tom]

Mayock just said Monroe OT.

What? No "JFC" from the board arbiter of all things football? No casting of aspersions on Mayock's family? This is a first. :)

[Pioli Zombie]

Frank - if he only becomes a "good" player, then people SHOULD hate on him.

Solid doesn't cut it that early - you better get a great, impact, game-changing player.

Yeah he better be a great, outstanding hall of famer like Mark Sanchez.

[EyePod]

But you haven't seen him answer this very question eleventy billion times?

Correct. I haven't seen him ever say anything. We all know that he wanted Sanchez. Who does he think the Chiefs should draft at #3. I know he says we screwed ourselves over by making our pick less valuable, but I don't know who he thinks we can get for the best value. I have gone out and said Crabtree is the best value we can get. I have not seen him say anyone.

Me, too. I'd be happy if the Chiefs selected three offense lineman in rounds 2-5 (if they recover a 2nd).

The line needs to be rebuilt.

NOW.

If I'm not mistaken, this hit now costs 15yds and a first in the NFL???

I only hear and witness good things from Mays though, he looks legit. He really likes to hit, so if he can also show that hawking ability, I think there's a serious weapon heading into the NFL...

Quite so.

[rad]

If Raji played UT in the 4-3 in college, would it be smart to draft him at 3 to play NT in 3-4? Wouldn't there be a curve? And with him being a pothead and dumber than a bag of hammers, is it safe to say he won't transition well? Or is it so easy a caveman can do it?

[Skyy God]

So we should draft a poor value (Curry) or redundant (Monroe, Raji) player in the first and the best available defenders in the 2nd & 3rd just b/c our d sucked last year? Brilliant!

If the best available talent/need mix works out to be Crabtree, C, & RT, I'd be estatic.

OK, I couldn't find the stats for 2001, but :

Year Sacks
2002 34
2003 36
2004 41
2005 29

Those numbers are all a lot higher than the Chiefs whopping 10 last season. I don't see how we increase our stats to the same as DV's just by increasing our offensive power.

If the best available talent/need mix works out to be Crabtree, C, & RT, I'd be estatic.

I love the Crabtree pick too, but I just think we need to address our defense somehow. Do you really think that Tank can pull off the NT position?

[Buehler445]

OK, I couldn't find the stats for 2001, but :

Year Sacks
2002 34
2003 36
2004 41
2005 29

Those numbers are all a lot higher than the Chiefs whopping 10 last season. I don't see how we increase our stats to the same as DV's just by increasing our offensive power.

Jesus fuck. Last year's team was aweful. Fuck you, Herm. Seriously.

I hope things will be better defensively.

We can address our defense next year, when the defensive talent will be better.

And I sincerely think the staff is going to put Dorsey at NT.

This guy is a freak. Would love to see him in Chiefs uniform next season.

That's not what Tank Tyler said:

http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2009/4/14/834390/some-news-on-the-chiefs-defensive

Also, Tank really fits into that size bracket needed for the NT position.

Here are all the NT's in the league, and their average/stdev of height and weight. Tank fits in both. BJ Raji is actually smaller in height (but not weight) for the NT position.

Tank actually fits the mold the best out of the three. Glenn is too short and small. Raji is too short. Tank is within the weight and height.

Yes. There is absolutely no way we will play Dorsey at NT. It is very illogical.

[Skyy God]

I love the Crabtree pick too, but I just think we need to address our defense somehow. Do you really think that Tank can pull off the NT position?

From my perspective, we've invested way too much in the D-line over the last 3 years to neglect an O-line that'a sorely in need of a talent infusion in a deep draft.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

And Tank can Bench 225 pounds 4 Billion times

[SBK]

If TG is off to Atlanta, then what about Crabtree in the first, RT and C with the 2nd and 3rd? Most of you have stated this is an offense deep draft. Build offensive line and such this year - D next year? Just a thought.

If we're not taking a QB at 3 (and we probably aren't) this seems to be the most obvious choice. I tend to doubt they'd take Raji at 3, which is the only other guy that makes any sense for a pick that high.

[htismaqe]

Yes. There is absolutely no way we will play Dorsey at NT. It is very illogical.

Well, Haley said they had a spot for him. And he's supposedly up to 330 pounds.

And the rumor mill is hot with talk of him playing NT.

Too much smoke not to be a fire of some kind.

[htismaqe]

From my perspective, we've invested way too much in the D-line over the last 3 years to neglect an O-line that'a sorely in need of a talent infusion in a deep draft.

Yep.

We can get 2 or even 3 starting offensive linemen in this draft and that's without using the #3 on a tackle. This is an immensely deep draft on the offensive side of the ball.

Could you show me the rumors? I must have missed these. And I'm worried about him adding on 30 lbs in one offseason.... Unless it's all muscle...

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

This is going to be the most boring draft in the history of God. :shake:

He said he thought Dorsey would have 'an attacking role'

[SAUTO]

We can address our defense next year, when the defensive talent will be better.

And I sincerely think the staff is going to put Dorsey at NT.

I THINK you are right. try him here for a year if he doesnt work try to trade him, someone will give up a good pick/player for his potential

no way Tank is 306. I'm not buying it. He's huge. Definitely more than 9 #s heavier than Dorsey.

[bdeg]

Those are old weight #s. I didn't see that article before, funny the author thinks Johnston will be a 3-4 end.

Not surprised about the Tank/Dorsey implications though.

[ct]

Well, Haley said they had a spot for him. And he's supposedly up to 330 pounds.

Too much smoke not to be a fire of some kind.

I agree here. No way I want to spend #3 and #5 in back to back years on DTs. Especially when Raji has the drug issue hanging over his head.

How can people say no to Curry #3, but be ok with Raji #3 with all the baggage he brings for that investment?

Try Dorsey/Tank for this year and focus on BAA, which Raji ain't anyway.

[kysirsoze]

Personally I'm leaning Raji no NT for a 3-4 equals complete suck.

Yup.
