21. Kansas City Chiefs: Phil Taylor, NT, Baylor
Scott Pioli needs his Vince Wilfork. The Chiefs struggled against the run late in the year because they had nothing at the nose tackle position. Phil Taylor would remedy that issue.

After a strong showing at the Senior Bowl, Taylor continued to impress at the Combine. He lost some more weight (334) and despite his massive frame, he ran a 5.18. Taylor has completely turned his life around, and he's definitely looking like a first-round pick.

Other 2011 NFL Draft Possibilities:

1. Akeem Ayers, DE/OLB - If the Giants pass on Akeem Ayers, he could easily go to the Chiefs. Kansas City needs help across from Tamba Hali.

2. Gabe Carimi, OT - Gabe Carimi is the top player available who makes sense for the Chiefs. Branden Albert is not a franchise left tackle.

55. Kansas City Chiefs: Rodney Hudson, G/C, Florida State
ESPN's Bill Williamson reported that there's a 50-percent chance that Casey Wiegmann, 38 in July, will retire this offseason. The Chiefs need a successor and some insurance just in case Wiegmann hangs it up.


86. Kansas City Chiefs: Vincent Brown, WR, San Diego State
A list of players who have lined up across from Dwayne Bowe this season: Chris Chambers, Terrance Copper and Verran Tucker. Bleh.

117. Kansas City Chiefs: Delone Carter, RB, Syracuse
Thomas Jones, 33 in August, is owed $3 million in 2011. He wasn't very effective this past season, so the Chiefs could let him go. If that happens, Delone Carter would be a very cheap alternative.

132. Kansas City Chiefs: Thomas Keiser, DE/OLB, Stanford
Kansas City acquired this selection from Tampa Bay for Alex Magee.

The Chiefs have only one reliable pass-rusher. Adding a solid complement across from Tamba Hali would take Kansas City's defense to the next level.

137. Kansas City Chiefs: Nathan Enderle, QB, Idaho
The Chiefs will owe Matt Cassel a ton of money in the near future if they decide to stick with him. They need to groom a young quarterback just in case Cassel's abysmal playoff performance wasn't a fluke.

You need an abacus to count the # of times he was beaten to the outside on the clips you posted. He's not physical and he's not nearly as athletic as people claim.

The problem is that he's never had the mass that people/draftniks think will translate effectively to the pros. His footwork is amazing, and he's got a lot of point of attack strength. He'd excel in a zone blocking system, but because he played at 285/290 lbs. people think he'll get washed out at the next level.

Someone is going to get a Will Shields level player in the 2nd/3rd round because of perceive physical limitations. (Just the same as what happened to Shields when he fell to the third round in the draft.)

He's never played the center position in college, and I don't think he's a center in the pros.
