My draft day to improve the Chiefs
 

After compiling my notes from the past season, I'm willing to formulate a 2008 draft plan, prior to the combine and Bowl games, after all Carl will be going on vacation, soon, so somebody needs to look out for the team. LOL. Hopefully, it will be a permenant vacation for him.

1st round- Trade down to 16, Draft OT Sam Baker, pick up an additional 2nd rounder AND 3rd rounder. 5th overall pick is worth 1700 points, that equals the 16th overall pick, plus their picks in the 2nd and 3rd round. Great value...Sam Baker has 3 years experience as a LT for USC. He's all-Pac-10 and Walter Camp All-American. He's got skills and experience and we net some great picks, too. Baker has tremendous upside.

2nd round- DT, Frank Okam, from the University of Texas. Okam has been one of the leaders of the 10th best run defense in the country, this past year. Allowing only 61.2 yards rushing per game. In 38 career starts, and a total of 49 games played in, Okam has 157 tackles, 10 sacks, 27 tackles for loss, 1 forced fumble, and 5 fumble recoveries. Okam is 6' 5", 320 lbs. and could become the nose tackle that we desperately need. Texas also produces some of the best DTs in the league. I believe Okam will continue the trend.

2nd Round(after the trade down in 1st round) MLB, Tavares Gooden, from the University of Miami. Gooden was the 2007 player of the year. He's lightning fast for a MLBer and he has a nose for the ball. He led the team this past year with 96 tackles. Gooden can play every LBing position on the field.

3rd round, C, Mike Pollack, from ASU. All pac-10 in 2007. 2nd team All-Pac 10 in '06. Rated as the 2nd best Center in the upcoming draft. Great value early in the 3rd round.

3rd round, CB, Charles Gooden, Iowa. 2007 2nd All-Big 10 team. 65 tackles and 5 Ints, 9 passes defensed in '07. Gooden is 6'1" , 208 lbs. and he has 4.38 speed. Gooden would immediately upgrade the secondary with his ball-hawking skills.

4th Round-RG, Arkansas, Robert Felton is a 3 year STARTER for the razorbacks. Who has played both RG and RT. Felton has been credited with being one of reasons while Arkansas had such a dominating run game. 2007 All SEC 1st team. Felton would be the RG staple in my plans.

5th Round-RT, Kirk Barton, Ohio State, In 2007, Barton was 1st team, All-Big 10 and AFCA coaches All-America team. He's also credited at being the key blocker for the Buckeyes. Future RT as a Chief.

5th Round-LG, Martin O'Donnell, Illinois. O'Donnell was 1st team All-America in 2007. 4 year starter at LG. O'Donnell lead the Illini, to the 6th best rushing attack in the nation and averaged less than one sack per game for the entire offensive line. Waters future replacement and quality depth.

6th Round-SS, D.J. Wolfe, University of Oklahoma. Wolfe is a SS that plays like a linebacker. wolfe loves to hit and it shows. 2nd team All-Big 12 in 2007. Wolfe has been a key component of OU's defense.
I believe Wolfe could push Pollard for a starting position.

7th Round- FS, Joe Fields, Syracuse. 2nd team All-Big 10 in 2007. Led team with 97 tackles. Had 4 Ints.



I believe thse moves alone would improve the team by leaps and bounds. Thoughts?

Jesus, anyone but that small fry Baker.

And I'd bet anything Niswanger is the starting center next year.

how funny would it be if this is EXACTLY how everything played out? I'd give you a Mountain Dew gamer fuel drink.

No you wouldn't. You'd say you would then you'd welch.
:p

I'll be disgusted if we draft Sam Baker. Look at him next to Long and Clady. He doesn't pass the eye test as an NFL OT.

6' 5" and 312 lbs is small fry? Due some research. Jake Long is two inches taller and only 3 lbs. heavier. Sounds like Baker will have a better central mass to be hold his ground just as well as Long. Baker also has alot of experience at LT.

Well thank god the NFL scouts have the reliable GoTurd Eye test to rely upon!!!

If we get half of these I'd be happy

The eye test? Sounds like Carl's evaluation plans. Look at pictures determine who's the best. That's ****ing idiotic.

Mark my words. Sam Baker = BUST.

THIS is an NFL OT. Holy ****! Look at that beast.

Sure he does. He only has THREE YEARS as a STARTING LT to say otherwise. The eye test is ****ing absurd.

who is that?

I watch Baker play all the time.....he isn't going to be a great LT, he may need to switch positions. Physically he is maxed out, he's not a terrible pass blocker but he's not a good run blocker..he can be bull rushed...I could see him being physically dominated at the NFL level at times.

Using your logic, Trezelle Jenkins was the best LT to ever play the game. Bigger doesn't necessarily mean better, especially when you consider Baker's size.

Here's Trezelle for you...
