We have DJ and the surprise of camp Corey Mays at LB right now they are just as decent as our safeties. They may not set the world on fire but it in no way means we should spend a top 10 pick on a ILB. That could change if Mays completely disappears in the regular season or if DJ doesn't respond to being demoted like Bowe did.

We have picks later in the draft that can help with the Oline we don't have to have two tackles that were taken in the top 15. We can easily get a RT in the 2nd or later, same goes for the other line positions if we haven't gotten some serious help from FA already.

NT again can be filled by a less risky player later in the draft. Second or possibly 3rd round, and this is the position that will make the LBers better.

If Kindle has a huge year, I could see going with him to get us a pass rusher but as it stands why not go for one of, if not the top 2 players in the draft. Berry is a game changer and Mays has the potential to be regarded as one of the best at what he does. Spikes is good but like Tebow is a product of the Florida hype machine not a top 10 talent in this draft.

She is hot

Oh and I would use a 2nd on Briscoe if he enters the draft.

Todd's going to be our Terrific Tom that we get in the 6th and ends up being our savior.

As long as you are happy with Demarrio then I guess we're good. And when has a safety been a "game changer?"

Look, I've got no problem with either Mays or Berry. Both are studs. But they are playing a position that is even less important than RT or MLB. That's a fact. And for you to devalue the OL or LB to the second round and beyond, but still hold up the SS position as a viable top five pick is bullshit.

And if we didn't already have competent safeties (regardless of the recent GoChiefs anti-Pollard campaign), I'd be right there with you on Mays or Berry. But it's obvious that this team needs help at other positions besides safety with their first pick. Pollard, Page and Morgan are all young and have talent. They could benefit from better coaching, but it's not like they are completely devoid.

You can't tell me that the LB spot (MLB or ROLB), RT/RG/C or TE spots don't need more immediate help than the safety position.

All joking aside, I think Briscoe is going to be way to slow to warrant a 2nd round pick. He's going to run like a 4.73 at the combine and he'll slip to 4th I would think.

And GoChiefs will write for SI, and Mecca will convert to Christianity after Tim Tebow shows him the light, and Skip will date Heidi Klume, and South Carolina BBQ will taste good, and Reaper 16 will join AA, and R. Lee Ermey will come out of the closet, and SHTSPRAYER will start a hippie commune, and men will watch the Lifetime Network with their wives, and STYX will finally be hailed as a "cool" band.

Your saying Ed Reed and Troy Polamalu aren't game changers?

Yes we need help on the line and LB and if Kindle shows something he will be who I want for ROLB but for now he really hasn't shown enough. I'd also say we need another WR before a TE. We could use a better TE but you don't need a All Pro there to have a high powered offense and you damn sure don't need to spend a top 10 pick on one.

The positions you mentioned can all be filled in rounds outside of the first. Yes, Normally you don't go Safety in the first either, but when you have rare talent you make exceptions like you said these guys are studs(and to let you know I don't really like what we currently have at safety either). You don't see many Centers go in the first round this past draft there were 2 that did and 3 that all realistically could have gone in the first.

That might not be the best comparison, but the point is when there are extremely good prospects you like you take them when they are on the board. While Spikes might be good, if we were going to take a ILB that high don't you think we would have taken Curry?

So Delexus would you rather draft a safety than Terrance Cody? What Pioli says is he doesn't nessecarily get the best player talent wise but the best player who fits the scheme. I think Cody would be the best pick for the Chiefs.

As a KU fan, I hope not....but I agree that he could put up some bad numbers and slip.

That is a tough one since we need a NT in the worst way. I honestly don't think Cody is worth going that high. If he gets a $40 mill deal he is going to get even lazier than he is and that is a problem with a already 365 pound player. If the draft was tomorrow and none of these guys got to play this year, I would probably go Safety and then target Boo Robinson or a Dan Williams in the 2nd/3rd.

After the season Safety, WR, Kindle, or Cody could be my top pick depending on performances and reports on work ethic (Cody)

the problem with targeting robinson is that all of the other 3-4 teams will want him also

the days of 3-4 steals are gone with the exception on maybe linebackers

Curry was a strong side outside linebacker who was projected into the middle at the pro level. Spikes is a pure Mike backer that is the same level at his position as Mays and Berry, and probably has done more on the field than either. The guy is a killing machine that is that once in a generation type of guy. Think of Laurinaitis' instincts, Rey's brutality, and the athletic ability of a Pat Willis - maybe more. Same thing could be said of Jermaine Gresham at tight end. Absolute freak of nature that is like a Adrian Peterson for his position - simply bigger and faster than any other TE out there. You could say the same thing about Trent Williams at RT, who looks to be the best pure RT since Tait.

And Dunlap is just over-the-top freakish physically. He makes Mays look like the Pillsbury dough boy in comparison. Plus there are really good rush ends/34 ROLB in Kindle and Selvie.

Both Mays and Berry look to be Woodson/Reed clones. But we have more immediate needs at a multitude of position other than safety, and with a lot of guys in this next draft that have the potential to be game changers at positions we desperately need, I don't see where using that pick on a safety is the best option.

Thats a valid point, but I think he'll at least be like Ron Brace was and available in the early 2nd if not later. Of course you never know so there is that risk since there are more teams running the 3-4 and there are only so many NT's. It just comes down to do you think Cody will be the BA you need in the middle or will he eat himself out of the league? From everything I've read Cody has a terrible work ethic.

well, Raji was supposed to the best nt in this last draft and he is a de now
I think it's hard to project rookie nose tackles and that position can be addressed through free agency

If I had my way they would draft ray lewis...I mean Brandon Spikes
