We need a RB like Christian Okoye or John Alstott or the Bus to compliment JC.

Exactly

If Trent Richardson is there when we pick we should take him. Best running back in college.

Alshon Jeffrey is a beast of a receiver, but I don't see Pioli taking him since Bowe will be re-signed/franchised, and we just spent a 1st rounder on Baldwin last year.

I can see us going with a G or RT, even though it wouldn't be a great value unless we trade down. If we do go OL, we definitely need to trade down.
Richardson would help make Cassel look like a quarterback.

I'd probably rather a stud OL (not sure what's available) than a stud RB, but until management formulates and executes a plan to acquire a genuine QB it's all fairly academic anyway.

You nailed it, D. Very well done.

Yeah because they'd have him throw the ball even less.

Taking Trent Richardson would set this franchise back at least 3 more years.

Yep.

Taking the stud RB just gives them an excuse to try and go with the dogshit we have at QB.

Marty Ball doesn't work anymore.

Because Christian Okoye won so many playoff games...

I say this every damn year, but you don't need a "bruiser" to pick up short yardage. The team does need a back that can get the short yardage, but some of the best short yardage backs to ever play the game aren't lard buckets.

I wouldn't mind them trading back 3-4 spots, but I'm hoping for Tannehill or one of the Offensive Tackles.

RB isn't necessarily worth a top 12 pick. The fact is that RBs in general just aren't as valuable as they were even 10-20 years ago.

That said, the Pats were ready to take Stephen Jackson in 2004 until Vince Wilfork slipped to them, and then took Laurence Maroney in the 20s in whatever woe-begotten year that was (2006 I think), so clearly BB (FWIW) is willing to spend a 1st on RB.

But with JC in the house already, and with ACL usually not ruining a career (see Welker, Wes), I'm not sure it's where the Chiefs need to focus their draft choice investments.

The thing is JC hasn't shown or giving the opportunity that he can carry the rock 20 or 25 times a game. Plus our depth behind him is really crap. Richardson will be a stud. Yea we can get a back later but he could be maroney part 2. Grab and o-line in the second.
