Dorsey called Shariff Floyd..
 

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet 3s
I said on Around the League: #Chiefs GM John Dorsey called Florida DT Sharrif Floyd yesterday to check on him. Hmmm. At 1 or for trade back?

Drum up interest to trade back...maybe to #3 or #4?

Please trade back.

For the love of God please trade back.

Wow.... That is really amazing information to have at this point in time.

DT with our first rounder.

Seems legit.

That said, Scott Pioli developed a personal relationship with Ryan Williams after meeting him at the Combine, totally not football related.

This could be everything, it could be nothing, or it could be something.

In other words, it's an awesome little piece of information.

Eagles trade up to #1 and take him...Fisher/Joeckel go 2/3...man def would make the Chiefs at #4 super intriguing lol.

Honestly, better value there than an OT or a passrusher with zero on field production.

I agree, but then does Floyd take over the NT and last years 1st rd pick ends up as trash and pushed to the side? Can he move to end?

Lots of chatter this move could bring up.

Draft Dephenisive Lunemun at 12, 1, and 3
Trud for Alex Smuth

PS: xx close te bordes xx

Shariff Floyd would be a terrible pick. He has T-Rex arms and he's not getting a pass rush.

ROFL Floyd is going to be stellar but I don't think yall deserve him. He's calling him to tell him we no longer have interest in you.

You remind me of that guy on Happy Gilmore that Shooter hired to mess with Happy. You're just annoying as anything I've ever encountered in 25 years.

How many 1st round D-Linemen is this team going to take?

DE is a sneaky need on this team. You don't notice it because we have two pretty good DEs and Bailey.

But think like the Dorsey/Reid regime. You've got one DE you can legitimately trust in DeVito, and two others you have no loyalty to. Both of which, I believe, are free agents next year.

In my final mock that I have up in DraftPlanet, I mocked them taking Margus Hunt in the 2nd. It's a position of relative need.

Yea, interesting they would let that out. He didn't say, I wonder which side he got the info from? Kinda sounded like Chiefs side.

Dontari Poe wouldn't be trash at DE in the scheme we'll run. He'd be allowed to generate push and collapse the pocket.

He's one of those players that will succeed at whatever position on the defensive line. But that's IF he succeeds at all. He's never going to be just a NT or just a DE.

Floyd said hes open to playing the 3-4 but hes a) never played and b) was only told by scouts his back gets flat enough where he can get the leverage needed, so im assuming scouts are talking to him about NT in the 3-4. But that's hes way more comfortable and essentially wants to be a disruptor in a 43

so Glenn Dorsey Part II. Youd be wasting his talents forcing him into a 3-4.

He said this on First Take yesterday

Apparently 100. Yet people scream about a first round OT

he called to tell him that he was drafting jockstrap but thanks for interviewing for the job

You're a Jagoff fan on a Chiefs board. Irony at its finest.

6'3", a hair under 300 lbs.

He's not prototypical at the 3-4 end position, but he's close.

It'd be a Hindenburg level disaster rather than the Bhopal level disaster that Fisher/Jerkoff would be.

Floyd's a perfect fit as a 1-gap DE.

Means we are trading back imo. 4 prolly

Don't buy the Shariff Floyd report. Smoke screen in my opinion.

Honestly, is there a selection OTHER than Geno Smith that wouldn't be a disaster to you.

I ask that sincerely.

Bill Williamson ‏@espn_afcwest 10m
#Chiefs Dorsey is due diligence guy. He will work this draft all the way up to the pick. Really impressed with the way he is doing his job.

By the way, Floyd has experience in the 3-4:

Would rather draft Landry Jones than this piece of shit

Oh I'm screaming about that too. DL & OL, the only positions KC will ever draft the first two days.

Jarvis Jones, DaMontre Moore, Kenny Vaccaro, Star, Austin, and Cordarelle Patterson.

None of them are worthy of the pick, but they fill a need and they can impact a game demonstrably.

Demontre Moore? Seriously?

That guy has far less of a chance to truly be an impact player in the NFL than Floyd does.

And the safety stuff has truly gone insane. The safety fans are becoming almost as frustrating as the O-Line fans. Seriously - most safeties are failed CBs. You're really advocating using 1.1 on Vaccaro when there are big corners with stiff hips in the draft every single season that could be converted into very similar players?

Sanders Commings could be developed into every bit the FS that Vaccaro will be and he'll be available in the 4th, possibly 5th.

Jones I get, Patterson I get. Star as well. Hell, I can almost understand Austin. But Moore and Vaccaro is just crazy talk.

I'm gonna throw this out there...

Is it possible the deal with Albert fell through and Miami wants to move up to #1?

I don't think they want to do that. There's a report that they want to move down.

I was thinking maybe we called Shariff to show Miami that we aren't scared of keeping Albert.. Trying to get more/better picks out of him

this list of players is exactly why bending over and taking Miamis 1 and 2 would be ok with me.

Most of those are the guys we could pick from at 12...adding a 2 would be huge.

If we could have Miami's 12 and both 2s. Along with keeping Albert, I'd do a dance because then I'd want Tavon Austin at 12.

And corners are almost always failed WRs, and numerous WRs are failed QBs.

Moore had three years of increasingly productive play, including 12.5 sacks in the toughest conference in the country. He was a 1a 1b choice with Jones before the silly season...when people actually, you know, looked at the player's production on the field.

As far as Vaccaro is concerned, safety is a more important position than corner, and fluidity in hips is often used as a catch all term that sounds introspective but is often rhetoric over substance. As far as projectability is concerned, yeah, athletic measureables test a theoretical apex of a player's ability. But these guys aren't decathletes. The difference from "could" to "will" is vast.

BTW Floyd is 20, meaning he can still truly physically grow and get stronger. But uneducated tards like rudy and runkc don't understand.

Johnly, I appreciate the risk that the organization would be taking in selecting a 3-4 DE in the top 5.

(Answering Phone)
Floyd: H...hello?

Silence.

Dorsey: Um, Sheriff, John Dorsey Kansas City Chiefs.

Floyd: Oh, hi, John. Does this mean I'm no. 1?

Dorsey: Um, no... sorry pocket dialed.

Can we use that logic for Joeckel?

I think somewhere Amobi Okoye just turned 20

.

There's more smoke going around right now than there was in Denver on 4/20.

I'm speculating here but if Sheldon hadn't been a douche, I feel that Hamas would probably feel much better with that selection instead of Floyd.

I'll add Nassib.

Sign me up for that.

If Richardson isn't the single biggest quitting bitch in college football, he'd be an incredibly logical selection at 1/1.

That and his conditioning. Then again, Floyd also has those issues, and I don't think he's as relentless as Sheldon is when the gas is in the tank.

Richardson is my guy damn it. Richardson, Poe, Hali, Houston, make for a fine pass rush

Sorry, but this is 'truefan' as applied to the defensive backfield. Arguing that safety is more important than CB is raw, over the top, dogmatism.

You could maybe convince me that a guy like Barron with the ability to blow someone up and run stride for stride with most WRs is as important as an elite CB.

If that were the case, guys like Revis would be at FS. Flowers likely would be as well.

There is no chance at all you will convince me that a FS that is generally decent in run-support but not special is more critical than a CB. And ultimately, you're not going to have much success convincing me that SS is a more important position than CB, but there may be more versatile, dynamic players playing it. But again, even that is a reach to me.

Yup.

Instead, !@#$ you, Sheldon Richardson.

****ing what?

He unknowingly cost himself a nice chunk of money by being a complete moron.

Too bad, because I'd really love to see how Houston would do having a competent 3 tech next to him in subs.

I'm not a Mizzou fan so I don't have the hate for him you guys do, but him doing what he did might end up relieving you guys of Gary so it could be a win

gotta replace the other 1st rounder we lost in Dorsey.
keept that 'all first round pick' DL in place.

don't want to mess up a good thing.

I don't get the fascination with Nassib. As a second-rounder? OK, cool. But I just don't see it. I'll be shocked if he's not a complete waste of a selection.

How old is Joker?

Shariff he don't like it.

At least he's not Tyler Wilson.

That's about all I can see in favor of selecting him.

Might as draft one in round one next year too. Jackson only has a one year deal. We have to break Detroit's WR drafting streak

Call me crazy, but I think Floyd will end up being one of the best 3 players from this draft. I wouldn't mind having him at all.

It's absolutely insane. If he doesn't literally mail it in the last three weeks of the year, there would be a mountain of threads dedicated to him at this point, with many posters trying to explain to the 80 percent why selecting Richardson would be OK, while Jackson was and is a ****ing mistake.

I don't think Floyd has a remotely comparable motor, short area explosion or hand-fighting skills

Manuel would be an intriguing pick in the second, from my perspective, though I realize he's a bit of a polarizing prospect, too.

One crazy bastard already tried that and the thread made it about 3 pages IIRC. LMAO

I concur.

Who wants to hand fight with a TRex? Shit would get brutal.

Why? He showed absolutely nothing in college that would make him look like he's even a first round pick, much less a 1.1. Not that I'd complain too much about a QB, but it's ridiculous he's even being talked about at 8. Maybe 98.

Not if you've got dat arm length.

People are going to be furious if we pick a LT so they want another SEC DL who can't get a consistent pass rush?

Really?

Ya, until the TRex gets pissed that its losing and just bites you in half.

I really wish the Jets would be stupid and trade 9 and 13 so we could get Sheldon Richardson and Tavon Austin

Who is that in your picture?

Looks like someone whom I used to know.

I take it the Chiefs arn't sure who to take 1.1 at this close to the draft. They better make up their mind quick and not count on a team wanting to spend a fortune to take our pick off our hands.

Loki.

Listen, I'm just saying.

1. They had it down to "four players." Why contact a dude that's out of the four.

2. They said they'd make the decision by now. Why contact the guy who's not the decision?

There are probably answers to both of these questions that aren't "the Chiefs are taking Floyd," but we don't know what they are right now.

Isn't the easiest answer always misinformation?

And isn't that the right answer 90% of the time?

The rest seems like it's us just desperately trying to convince ourselves that things aren't going to go like we know they're going to go on Thursday. It's just like that 48 hours leading up to the draft in 2009 when we all read everything we saw as proof that we weren't really going to take Tyson Jackson and that anyone reporting that was just dumb...

There's nothing to see here, IMO. There should be....but there isn't.

They're picking first, they really don't have much of a reason for disinformation at this point because the value of their pick rests primarily on what teams believe the franchises behind them will do.

Not by us, but by the teams jockeying behind us.

Face it, folks - the Chiefs are the bit players in this years draft. We'll serve to make an interesting story for other teams. It's our fate in this league.
