About.com has these NT's coming out:
1) Nick Fairley (no thank you,he's a piece of trash IMO)
2) Phil Taylor (Baylor)
3) Jarvis Jenkins (clemson)
4) Stephen Paea (Oregon State)
5) Jerrell Powe (Ole Miss)
6) Marvin Austin (NC)
7) Sione Fua (Stanford)

Fair enough. I'm just trying to be realistic, I guess.

I'll probably get shit on for this.....but I'd look at Lee Evans in FA this year. The Bills are going to let him go and he'd be a damn good deep threat opposite of Bowe.

There is also a kid from Hampton.

Bump NT up, WR up and add any of ILB/OLB/OL to the 3rd spot for true realism. They're very interchangeabe, IMO. They seem to vary from week to week. Probably OL overall, and interior first.

I WIN I WIN!


i correctly picked the top three choices! that means i know whats best for this team.


I expect to be given the "bestest and smartiest chiefs planet poster" award by the end of today.

I'd be all over Fairley. I like a NT with a mean streak.

whos gonna throw him the deep ball? har.har.har.

To bad he's going to be a top 10 pick.

I agree, but I'd be all over him if he slips.

I'm pretty sure we needed a NT, a WR and an OLB in the 2nd round of last season's draft when Cody, Benn and Washington were there to fit those needs perfectly.

AND YET!

But hey, thank God we filled those nickle corner, kick returner and team mascot roles nicely. And at least we got made our NFL mandated quote of former team captains (that's a rule, right?).

I'll be honest - I have no faith at all in Pioli actually addressing the needs listed above. They're the same needs he ignored in the last draft.

Several of us picked WR, NT, and OLB (if you overlook my mis-vote.) You'll have to share. :harumph:

I hear you, dude, which is exactly why it will be frivolous to get too caught up in the draft talk again this off-season.

I'm going to talk about it a lot, don't get me wrong, but I'm going to try to approach the whole thing with a greater sense of emotional detachment.

I like Evans.

The problem is that he's less of a 'deep threat' than he is a 'go route threat'.

Evans doesn't run deep routes, per se. He runs go routes. Cassel can't really hit one of those for shit. As such, a 'go threat' doesn't do us much good.

What I'd like to find is someone like Julio Jones that has the speed to stretch the field but will also run deep crossing routes or seam routes. Evans doesn't really do that. To steal from the Eagles, Evans is like DeSean Jackson whereas Jones would be more like a Jeremy Maclin.

Yeah, all these "I wouldn't take Fairley" folks are a little out to lunch, IMO.

What Fairley did in that GA game was borderline a couple of times, unlucky once and flat out dirty once. Y'know what? That's a ratio I can live with.

Fairly is going to be a damn monster, but he's not going to be there when we pick.
