This draft is solid.

Love the Baker and the two Gooden boys.
You're looking at two Day 1 starters and one guy who should take over for Harris in 2009.

Not crazy about drafting a Center.
I think Niswanger is Wiegmann's replacement there.

I like the other O-line guys as depth though.
And the two Safety picks.

That scouting report says what I think of him, he is a perfect cover 2 style DT.

Hate the Baker pick. If at all possible, I would take Jake Long... even if we have to trade UP a few spots (if possible). I do like the Okam pick. He will suprise people. Absolutely impossible to run against.

I'll try one for 4 rounds. I'm going all offense in the first 4 rounds keeping in mind that a better offense will help the defense and it is time for Gun to make some chicken salad out of his 2nd and 3rd round picks from last season.

Here it goes...

1st round LT Jake Long, Ryan Clady, or Michael Oher which everone is best at where we pick.

2nd round OG Duke Robinson Oklahoma

3rd round Kellen Davis TE Michigan State. With Dunn and Bigfoot apparently done, TE becomes a need area as well.

4th round WR Jordy Nelson. A legit #2 to match up with Bowe. And a good return man as well.

Never ever reach :shake:

As of December 26th, I am not sure if any of these guys are a reach or not. Time will tell.

Clady is way overrated, and for some reason a draftnik media darling. Jake Long in all honesty is a top 15 pick talent who's a hair better than the solid core depth of the current OTs in the draft. Oher on the other hand could be an all-world stud in the pros like Pace,Ogden, and Walter Jones.

Well there you go. If he is in that class of OT's that you have mentioned, and he decides to enter the draft, Oher in the 1st, Robinson in the 2nd, and a WR and TE to get the offense to where it could be productive in 2008.

Then finish the draft portion of rebuilding the Chiefs in the 2009 draft, as I think this is going to be a more than one off-season fix for the Chiefs to be a playoff caliber team again.

Thanks everybody for all your comments and thoughts. Believe me I prefer Oher, but he hasn't declared for the draft, that I know of. I also like the possibilty of moving up for Long, but I wouldn't want to give up a 2nd rounder just to move up two places.

Baker was sick in college. He gave up 4 sacks and had one holding penalty in his entire career. He won't be a HOFer but he should be a solid player.

3 wins by the three 3 and 12 teams... Rams, Jets, and Falcons... and we may not have to move up in front of anybody. Very well could be in the #2 spot in round 1.

And in the event of a 7 way tie for 2nd if we would wind up picking 2nd, IIRC we would pick 8th in the 2nd round, 7th in the 3rd round, 6th in the 4th, 5th in the 5th, 4th in the 6th, and 3rd in the 7th.

Why did the A&M guy wear his gloves and elbow sleeve?

I like the idea of trading down and getting oher..if not we should be able to get long with the #4 or #5 pick we will have...if we got Duke Robinson in the second i would be a big fan of that too..but i would have to say we let Herm get a solid corner with our 3rd..hes good at finding talent there..he may even find one in the 4th or later...as long as we get a corner ill be happy. OHER, ROBINSON...if there would be perfect though for first two picks...i think donnie avery might be a sleeper in the late rounds for a return man and wide receiver...and the last guy ill mention that it seems no one is paying attention to is Jeff Otah out of Pitt i believe..hes like 6'6 350...beast of a LT. also CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie 6'2 corner who runs a 4'3 not bad...

The way things are going if Oher declares he'll be a top 5 pick

I don't want to trade down. I want a top 5 pick damnit!
