So if Carlos Rogers is there at #15, you want to pass on him?

I wouldn't be mad, at this point, at who draft with the #15 pick just as long as it's a D player and not a reach or project pick that has the whole country, not just Chiefs fans, scratching their heads.

It's Peter King, fer cryin out loud. Normally, that would be enough to dismiss the story. But this IS the Chiefs front office. At this point, right now, I would not be suprised one way or another how the Surtain thing turns out.

But seriously, look at the guys at reciever we're going up against this year......

Week 1 - Laveranues Coles/Wayne Chrebet
Week 2 - Randy Moss/Jerry Porter
Week 3 - Rod Smith/Ashlie LeeLee
Week 4 - Terrell Owens/Todd Pinkston/Freddie Mitchell
Week 6 - Santana Moss/ ?
Week 7 - Chris Chambers/ ?
Week 8 - Keenan McCardell/Eric Parker (probablly somebody else)
Week 9 - Moss/Porter
Week 10 - Eric Moulds/Lee Evans
Week 11 - Andre Johnson/Jabbar Gaffney
Week 12 - New England and their five wide attack
Week 13 - Smith/LeeLee
Week 14 - Keyshawn Johnson/ ?
Week 15 - at NY Giants (finally a break?)
Week 16 - McCardell/ some young buck/Antonio Gates
Week 17 - Chad Johnson/Peter Warrick/TJ Houshenmenzadah(?)


If we don't get Surtain, I will run interference for Talking Can while he pops CP like a zit. Knowing how our defensive secondary played last year, there is no WAY we shouldn't get this deal done, especially after looking at the upcoming schedule.

What do you think we'll get with a second rounder? Someone better than Fox or Mitchell? Not likely. Or maybe someone better than Surtain?

Ignoring the fact that the Chiefs draft poorly in early rounds, the odds are still against a second round pick making any significant impact in his rookie year.

We don't get a break with the Giants - they signed Plaxico Burress.

Boy if King Carl blows this one, Chiefs fans will never forgive him.

Well, there you have it. I forgot they pulled off that trade. Do they still have Toomer?

Those receivers are only part of the equation. We don't face the cream of the crop as far as QBs are concerned. Here are the only ones I'm worred about:

Chad Pennington
Kerry Collins x2
Donovan McNabb
Drew Brees x2
Tom Brady

Hell, we'll put JP Losman in the Hall of Fame if we don't bring in Surtain, or someone equal to him. I think I'm going Gaz towards the thought of getting Ty Law.

And don't discount David Carr. That kid is underrated.

He didn't do much against us last year.

Look at who we faced last year:

Jake Delhomme
Mike Vick
Peyton Manning
Brian Griese
Aaron Brooks
Tom Brady
Drew Brees x2
Billy Volek

I'd say our 2005 QB schedule is much less daunting.

:Lin:

My God they are going to rip us a new asshole

Just a little something from KFFL.

Chiefs | Still Working on Surtain Trade - from www.KFFL.com
Tue, 19 Apr 2005 20:58:05 -0700

Updating ongoing reports, according to KCChiefs.com, Kansas City Chiefs president Carl Peterson has confirmed that the Chiefs continue to work on a possible deal to land Miami Dolphins CB Patrick Surtain in a trade. "We're still talking, still negotiating, still trying to do something that makes sense contract-wise for the Kansas City Chiefs and it has to make sense for Patrick and his representative," Peterson said. Peterson added a deal would have to get done prior to the NFL Draft because Surtain's contract situation was "too complex" to be worked out on draft day.

If it ain't done by draft day, I don't think we gettin' him.

Oh, I don't disagree about the quality of QB this year compared to last. We'll just have to agree to disagree about Carr. I think he is a sure fire up-and-comer. I remember that pass he hit to Andre Johnson down the sideline last year. It was an incredible catch by Johson, but players like that make your QB better.

And he DID beat us last year..... ;)

Trent Green's pass to Coleman beat us last year. :banghead:

Yeah, there was that little tidbit I was trying to block out my memory.......
