Check out the Kyle van Noy thread, brah. There's a pic of his fiancee in there. Holy Jesus mothers.

That's the one. I just love the expression of abject joy as he fist pumps his approval of selecting what I'm sure he thinks will be the next Orlando Pace or Walter Jones or Jon Ogden.

His thought process didn't even go that far. He's just happy he got his old man mullet on TV.

Actually, I believe that the dude posts here.

Said he and his buddies were total shit faced and they were going to whoop it up even if they took Leon Sandcastle.

Just a room full of Chiefs fans having fun.

Except for milkman.

Milkman had fun once.

It was awful.

There was 2 pages of conversation on it...

YESTERDAY

ROFL

I'm not an advocate of drafting an offensive lineman in round 1. That being said, if somehow Taylor Lewan was available when the chiefs pick than I would grab him. He is really a tremendous athlete, and a mauler in the run game.

Tim Grunhard on KC Chiefs o-line

So we need an upgrade at both OG positions. Hello Xua'Filo in the 1st plus Brandon Thomas in the 3rd, lol.

I find it funny that Grunhard didn't even mention RG.

Should tell you something about what he thinks about Rishaw Johnson.

To the championship!

from the same linked article

Keep ****ing doubting Rishaw Johnson.

I think we, as a collective, pretty much are.

Rightfully so, IMO.

I don't see OL especially since Zack Martin should be gone by our pick. I also think ODB is gone too. He's gaining steam.

I would say Lee or Cooks are great bets at this point.

Cooks won't make it to us. The Jets are in love with him apparently.

Then Lee it is. One of those 3 will be there

Why settle?

Lee isn't in the same time zone as Cooks and Beckham...

Well, Lee WAS The Biletnikoff Award winner two year ago, and was plagued by nagging injuries this past year. I think he's got some ability and potential there.

He'd be a great 2nd rounder.

Heh, I see what you're getting at.

Lee isn't high on my wish list, but I wouldn't be pissed if we took him. I'd take him before any of the assorted linemen people want to prognosticate to us. I wouldn't take him before Amaro or ASJ, or probably even Van Noy.


I just want a playmaker with our first pick, really. Pest said it best - you can easily control their contracts their first four years. That makes it even more attractive to take a playmaker, be it on either side of the ball.

Btw Jets signed Jacoby Ford. They should go after Ebron.

ODB should be the Chiefs pick. Makes to much sense.

I would love this but I bet he's long gone by then. I wouldn't be surprised to see this guy go top 15.

One will fall though. We're in the right position that player to fall to us.

I hope it's Mike Evans...

nice writeup on trai turner
http://withthefirstpick.com/2014/03/...-turner-g-lsu/

by the way the article mentioned an interesting tidbit
that "midsection" has been Jeff Allen's problem.

I would JIMP if he did fall but I doubt he will.

Jeff Allen's biggest problem is that he's not a real left guard...

what is he in your opinon? he was a pretty good college LT.

I think ODB is a younger cheaper less assholish Desean Jackson.

I'm personally reminded of a less explosive Harvin.


Pretty intriguing player though.

I can see that.

Yeah, he was actually a really good tackle at times at Illinois. I think he'd be a better backup/swing tackle if we had a better LG on the roster...

Doesn't matter....Hudson and Allen will be gone when their contracts are up.

My mock draft has started. From that thread:

Chiefs select LG Xavier Su'A Filo (traded up to 16 to get him). "Article" I posted as it happened.


Building for the future
Chiefs revisit storied past with present pick

Kansas City - With its first pick in the NFL draft, the Chiefs once again dipped into a well that has produced unmatched success for the Kansas City franchise. No stranger to highly powered offenses built around a dominant offensive line, the Chiefs selected star UCLA LG Xavier Su'A Filo with their first pick in the NFL draft.

General Manager John Dorsey could barely contain his glee at landing the talented offensive lineman: "Look, we know that you win with the guys up front. This is a formula that has been successful in KC. Pick the best player available. That's almost always going to be an offensive lineman. And when it isn't, it likely will be a defensive lineman. Skill players are great, but they're NOTHING compared to an OL.

"I mean, look at the history of this franchise. It has had a lot of success over the past 25 years, and that has always started up front. You don't win the most games in a decade with a formula that doesn't work."

With the selection of Su'a Filo, in addition to the selection of Eric Fisher with the first overall pick in last year's draft, the Chiefs are going back to a strategy that has kept the Arrowhead Stadium parking lot full of happy tailgaters year after year: Build a strong OL. Be respectable every year. See what happens in the playoffs.

"With Xavi and Eric, we have the makings of the best OL in NFL history," Dorsey said. "And that's how you win. Skill position players are nothing unless you have the right resources dedicated to building your OL. And everyone knows you can't build an elite OL without filling it with first-round picks."

Whoa! I don't know even where to begin with this.

Okay, with a minute to collect my thoughts I must ask you do know April Fool's was yesterday, right?

If you're being serious.....then go **** yourself.

If he is not capable of playing in a phone booth (guard), than how can he play outside in the nfl?

I think another part of his problem is that Allen, Asamoah, and Hudson were drafted for the ZBS. They were drafted for their quickness.

Reid instituted a man heavy scheme. When the line switched back to a ZBS midway though the season, than the line improved.

:)

Well done, sir.

in regards to Jeff Allen

Allen has always had a very good attitude towards the game.

I think he got caught in-between a scheme change and tried to do the quickest thing possible in an attempt to be effective in Reid's offensive plan, which was to gain weight to be more productive in a power type scheme.

Allen has the tools and the attitude. Let's see if a year in the system and a full off-season of knowing what he needs to do allows him to be more effective as a player.

I think that the offensive line is going to surprise people this coming season.

I think that was likely the case. He got fat and lost his quickness. by the way, I tried to do a google image search of jeff, and this was one of the first that came up.

kinda cool to have engagement photos on the 50 at arrowhead.

Daniel Jeremiah ‏@MoveTheSticks 13h

I haven't talked to one scout/exec that would take David Yankey in the first 3 rounds.

Blue font

Incredibly sarcastic. I'm using this entire mock draft to mock the Chiefs. It's flying over the head of most of the guys on there.

Trying to prep my round 3 pick (Pick must be either an OL or DL/OLB) ...

Brandon Turner (OG, Clemson)?
Joel Bitonio (OT, Nevada)?
Trent Murphy (OLB, Stanford)?

I think I'm going to go with Turner.

That's fantastic news. It makes me think that the Chiefs really aren't too incredibly concerned with the RG spot, and that Rishaw Johnson will be the starter next year.

I know that Jeff Linkenbach came so cheaply that they could possibly have brought him aboard as competition for Johnson at the backup, while the high pick G takes the starter spot, but I just can't buy that Dorsey is as thick-headed as Andy Reid is when it comes to the offensive line.

Dorsey has tried to fix the Packers' tackle situation with first rounders in Bulaga and Sherrod in consecutive years. He's rotated in veterans that were long ago acquired by the team (TJ Lang, Jason Spitz, Josh Sitton) with young players acquired through the middle rounds of the draft (Evan Dietrich-Smith, Marshall Newhouse). Two of those depth players (Lang, Dietrich-Smith) were promoted to starter after Dorsey left and played phenomenally.

Dorsey has final say. I have a hard time thinking he'll go guard. I don't think he will.

You mean Brandon Thomas?

Yup.

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sport...0,879985.story

Hendersom's interesting. Huge, absolutely huge, with unreal speed for a guy his size.

Prototypical Dorsey pick.

dont think dorsey would waste even a 6th round pick on him....though he might try to pick him up as a UDFA.

Packers NFL Draft History: Ted Thompson Loves College Left Tackles
excerpt below

Stephenson, Fisher, and Allen were all college LT. Kush (Dorsey's other 2013 offensive line draft pick) had 9 collegiate starts at LT, but played center the last 2 yrs of college.

Su'a-Filo and Yankey have played a season at LT.

Really all this does is further sell the idea that Zack Martin is a Chief.

not a workout warrior. He didnt run at the combine, average vertical/broad.


His bench was great, but he has under 33" arms....which makes it easier.

Dorsey drafts workout warriors.

A bevy of Miatas will be shat if we take a linemen in the first this year.

it would be stupid, pathetic, and demoralizing if this admin spent back to back firsts on OL...jesus fisher christ

Which is why he might take a flyer on Boston College's OT Matt Patchan in the fifth or sixth round.

Freak level measurements at the combine, including an "unofficial" 4.84 40 and a 33 1/2" vertical at 6'6", 306 lb.

Like I said in my mock, Patchan has all the tools. He's just never seen the field due to numerous football and non-football injuries. Played one year out of a possible six.

Uhhhh...

This year, they better stay way from guys with injury flags.

You take a guy like Patchan in the sixth if he's there. The potential very much outweighs the injury risk.

And you just make sure he doesn't get shot again or run over by a car while driving his scooter.

I've mentioned him as part of the Olineman I would consider:
http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showp...8&postcount=19

Oldschool might have been the first to mention him: http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showp...41&postcount=3

If you want to see all the players that I think may be on the chiefs "short list" (with corresponding chiefsplanet links) you can see them here: http://boards.kcchiefs.com/forum/kan...aft-short-list

Sorry. I don't cheat on Chiefs Planet.

Oh man, hate to hear stuff like this:

We can probably get him in the 5th now though. He won't be useful for next season though.

I'd spend a 4th or 5th on him. Redshirt his first year and he can replace Linkenbach after this season.

Those players are still valuable, imo. Yeah, you lose a year of cost control, but you don't lose a roster spot. He would be a great reach/pick for a team with a deep roster because you can increase the talent level of your team simply by placing them on the IR for a year, which in turn frees up a roster spot for another talent on your team.

That is heartbreaking. Hope he comes back stronger than ever.

Exactly.

I really like Thomas in this draft, thought he would go late 2nd to 3rd round based on his talent. Now he will drop to the 4th or 5th round or someone like SF will take him with their comp pick in the 3rd.

Throw Thomas down in the 7th-FA category with Spencer Long of Nebraska. I never like Thomas much anyhow, but that sucks for him. I would take a chance on Long though, guy was a beast.

Just want to remind people that this is still happening.

Off with you. Prepare your apology speech for when this doesn't happen.

Yup.

I hope so.
