If the Chiefs select ____________ in the 1st Rnd, im going to be pissed
 

fill in the blank...

G

jarret

Justin Blalock, Tank Johnson, Joe Staley, Aaron Ross, Ted Ginn Jr

ROFL

I'm at the point where I've heard enough to not like any of our potential first round picks. I've felt that way about the WRs for a long time. We can get one later, maybe Rice in the second round. The only options I feel comfortable with are Revis and Staley, both of whom may not be available.

Anyone from Division I-AA, II or III. Other than that it's ok.

Joe Staley, Dwayne Bowe, Aaron Ross.

EDIT: Add Ted Ginn and Sydney Rice to that list.....



And before someone asks who that leaves that I'd be OK with:

WR: Meacham, Jarrett

CB: Revis, Houston

DT: Harrell

For some reason I am hating this year's draft. We've picked this low before, many times, but there has always been some player that I felt would be decent at that spot...

But every player that can be at our spot has been absolutely bashed in different places, and has tainted all of them for me.

"The worst possible pick" and "I hate this player" aren't the same, like someone here may hate Justin Harrell but wouldn't say it was the worst possible pick but they may be pissed about it.

G, RB, or Aarron Ross, Joe Staley, Tank Tyler

And actually more I think about it Sydney Rice would be the ULTIMATE worst first round pick we could pick.

If the Chiefs select ____________ in the 1st Rnd, im going to be pissed
 

Greg Olsen

Ross or Staley.

any OL

unless we drop way down




I'm not thrilled about CB either, but I don't really know anything about them

Robert Meachem

Joe Staley, Aaron Ross, Justin Harrell, DeMarcus Tyler

Dwayne Bowe, Ted Ginn Jr or any CB

Anyone we draft in the first round is going to piss me off. If we trade LJ and manage to move up for Calvin Johnson, I'm going to start a "Calvin Johnson?! MOTHER F**K YOU, CARL!" thread.

ROFL ROFL

Marshawn Lynch. Even if he fell to 23. I'd be sick. I think this guy is going to be bust. I have nothing to back it up, I just don't like what I've seen.

Boy where do I start? Its not likely to happen, but if Russell or Quinn fall this far, pass. Ill move on to the WRs, no Bowe, Meachem, Rice, or Ginn. No G's. No CBs. No DTs. Staley at 23, but if we drop about 6 spots and pick another pick Id take it.

I take it you just want Jarrett.

Pretty much, unless Calvin Johnson, Okoye, Brown, or Thomas, fall to us(possibly even Branch). Id also settle for a LB(as long as its not Poslusnzy(sp?) or DE. But I really like the idea of loading up on first day and early 2nd day draft picks. So trading this pick wouldnt be a bad thing in my eyes.

Dwayne Jarrett or Ted Ginn Jr.

EDIT: Following Warpath's lead...

I'm good with the following @23:

CB: Revis
DT: Harrell (or Branch if he were to fall that far)
OT: Staley
OG: Grubbs

Only Revis do I truly like @23, all the rest I'd prefer to move back. So since it's unlikely Revis is there, moving back is my preference.

I can't see many picks I would absolutely hate this year. We have so many needs that you could make a case for numerous players. However, taking a DE or G would be stupid IMO, so I guess I would list Anthony Spencer, Ben Grubbs, and Justin Blalock.

The one thing that will truly piss me off is if we reach for player that is valued as a 2nd or 3rd rounder.

DE? You do realize Jared Allen got arrested again, right?

Like Joe Staley.

I don't know. Anything less than first round talent, I guess. Some people were pissed about selecting Tamba Hali, so there is obviously a lot of variance in how players are viewed by fans.

Yes.

Are you ever going to drop this topic? We disagree, it happens. Stop being such a pantywaist. Every legit mock grades Staley as a 1st round talent at this point.

Nope.

That's funny considering those same "legit" sources had him as a late 2nd/early 3rd when the actual football games ended.

Okay, forget the Staley thing for a minute.

Why are you opposed to drafting a DE?

After reading this thread, I'm guessing a meltdown happens, no matter what. :)

As for me, I would be disappointed with Staley, Ross, a TE or a RB. I'm not a big fan of any of the DTs that would be available there, either.

I am prepared to be disappointed. :(

I would be opposed to a DE because after the 4-6 games Allen is out we would have 3 DE's. (starting material) So we would have our 1st rounder rotate the last 10-12 games? I would rather draft a DT, WR, or OL. IMO even a CB would fill a bigger purpose as a nickle his first year and compete for starter the next than a guy only filling a spot for 4-6 games. Then for sure you know Allen is gone and we have no trade leverage if we pick a DE in the first. Now if I knew that Allen would be traded before he comes back from susp., then by all means, look at DE.

There's a good chance Allen misses more than 6 games and is gone after this season anyway. When Allen does play, there's no reason you couldn't have all 3 on the field, Hali plays off the line standing up (rather than in a 3-pt) many times a game.

Show me some proof that a "legit" draft site had Staley pegged as a 3rd rounder after this season.

That's a little hard to do, considering almost all of these draft sites change their content on a daily basis. Nonetheless, with a little ingenuity and the Google, here you go:

http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn...c.php?t=198691

Joe Staley, OT, Central Michigan. Staley, initially a third- or fourth-round prospect, showed his natural athleticism during a great on-campus workout. Look for him to go in the second half of the second round.

http://transcripts.usatoday.com/Chat...pt.aspx?c=1120

Rob Rang: Joe Thomas from Wisconsin and Levi Brown from Penn State are clearly the top two OTs in this draft. Thomas is unlikely to get out of the top 3. Brown could make it to the Texans, but because of the lack of depth at the position and his strong performance at the Senior Bowl, the Texans may have to consider moving up to guarantee his selection. The third tackle on our board at NFLDraftScout.com is Central Michigan's Joe Staley. Staley has great athleticism, but is significantly rawer than Thomas or Brown and should be a second-round pick.

I'll find some more...

Nice finds. I've been looking as well, but like you said, it's next to impossible considering these sites update content constantly.

I see what you are saying, but to use a 1 rounder for a worst case scenairo? There is also a chance he is only out 4-6 games and has a change of heart and signs long term with the Chiefs. Then what? Play a D thats good for 3 DE's? Eh, who knows, time will tell.

We've drafted the "right" guy two years in a row, making everybody happy. No way that happens again. :)

Yeah I agree.

Jared is a nutcase but he's also young and one of the top 5 DEs in the game. We'd better sign him to a long term deal and plan on him being on this team. He's our best defensive player.

That's gonna be hard to do considering that he's one transgression away from sitting out an entire season...

Eh, what's wrong with Staley?

Nothing, if we pick him in the 2nd or 3rd...

There's a reason we can't pick him in the 2nd or 3rd.

He probably won't be there when we pick in the FIRST.

Doesn't make him worth it.

You people do realize in a cover 2 you need depth along the Dline.

Staley is a classic example of teams knowing how important LT is and him being shot up the board due to a few workouts, need picks and workouts shoot him up the board......that's how you get a bust.

Eric Wright


and maybe Aaron Ross

What people are you talking to?

I think it has more to do with the fact that he went to a small school and not until he competed recently against top talent was he able to show what he could do.

The ones opposing DE with our first pick.

You do realize we have 1.5 out of 2 starters for DE and 0 out of 2 starters for DT. All we have is depth on the roster. If the war room thinks it's a reach for a DT, then look at WR or OL. Still reaching? We will need 2 CB's real soon and a nickle this year, grab a CB. Still not the right player? Then grab a stud DE. Who do you have in mind that would fall to us? This is all IMO of course but would rather use a later pick on DE.

Joe Staley or Ben Grubbs, which almost guarantees one of those two will be the pick.

Scott Wright disagrees with you.

2. Joe Staley, OT, Central Michigan
There is no doubt that Joe Staley is one of the hottest prospects in the draft right now and while you certainly can't discount his talent and great Pro Day workout (he ran a 4.82 forty at 304 lbs.) a big part of the reason is simple circumstances at his position. Basically the supply is just not meeting the demand when it comes to the offensive tackle position and if you don't get one of the Big 3 of Joe Thomas, Levi Brown or Staley there is a chance you won't get a left tackle who can come in and contribute early on. Right now Staley is a lock for the Top 20-25 and depending on how things break down the Top 10 overall is not even out of the question.

http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/features/hotlist.html

I don't disagree with the premise that somebody might take him higher because of a need, but I disagree with the idea that he's only up there because of that. There've been players in recent years who've come from smaller schools, made a splash at workouts, and shown they deserved the jump up the board(Merriman and Ware for example).

But I don't see the Chiefs taking Staley anyway. They usually don't draft the 'hot' prospect. Lately they've drafted for value, getting guys who've fallen past where they should've gone(LJ, DJ, Tamba).

But Scott Wright also considers Staley a top 23 prospect and lists him as such on his Big Board, which contradicts your claim that he is a reach.

Any DT other than Branch or Okoye. Any CB.
Dwayne Bowe. Joe Staley. Roger Vick.

Scott has him rated a top 23 prospect because

1) he had great workouts

2) the OT is extrememly thin

He says that plainly in several places on his website. Scott is predicting where he'll GO, not where he DESERVES to go.

I'm just glad we won't have to worry about it, he'll be gone before we pick.

His big board is where he ranks each player regardless of his position. Players don't go up or down on there based on how deep their position is.

"The following are Scott Wright's positional rankings for the 2007 NFL Draft. Please note that where players are ranked does not necessarily reflect where the players may go in the draft, but merely where he personally has them ranked on his board. These rankings are very fluid."

These rankings are very fluid.

Enough said.

The only chance he had to compete against top talent was the senior bowl.

I believe he gave up 2 sacks.

3 sacks, 2 forced fumbles.

Ouch.

ROFL

Please note that where players are ranked does not necessarily reflect where the players may go in the draft, but merely where he personally has them ranked on his board.

'Nuff said.

Rice or Bowe.

I'd rather not take a receiver in the first but the only ones I won't disappointed with will be Meachem or Ginn, Jr.

I don't think there will be any DT's left worth the 23rd pick but I would withhold judgment on Harrell since he's struggled with injuries. Most everything I hear is that he's a team leader and his stock is rising.

As far as the offensive line goes. That is my biggest concern. I would find Staley acceptable but would be happier with Blalock.

I really don't know enough about the top corners but the one that I would like to get in the second or third round would be Hughes. He seems like a football player.

That said, listening to Herm describe the kind of player he likes (tough and smart), I tend to think that if Posluszny is there at 23, we just might take him. Which I would be okay with, too. I like football players more than I like athletes.

Joe Staley

You can't even wait one post to contradict yourself, you do it all in the same thread.

We get it already, you know infinitely more about the draft than the rest of us.

Do us all a favor and stop trying to remind us every 5 minutes.

Any CB. The cover 2 does not require CBs with 4.3 speed.

If we take a punter with our #1 I just might go postal.

Anyone.

Well, I'll admit: I was pretty pissed when the announcement was made, but after thinking about it, it wasn't as much about picking Bowe as opposed to NOT picking Meacham.

I've warmed up to Bowe, and hope that the lasik surgery cures his biggest problem I had with him, his drops.

Welcome to Kansas City, Dwayne.

The hard-ons for Meachem were always ridiculous.

Can't even crack the lineup of a team with dogshit at WR.

I just hope we don't pick Bowe. Anyone but him and his awesomeness. Please, someone mediocre. NOT BOWE!

Hindsight...

We need a few years before this post looks completely back-assward but signs are looking up for the Chiefs.

Its a mute point now but think of what could have happened if we passed on Bowe and SD got him

Norv Turner can make anyone suck.
