If Richardson is around, I'd rather take him and grab a RT later. I liked Reynolds alot but haven't heard much about him lately.
Also been hearing alot about Zeitler from Wisconsin.

There's no tackle I really like that should be available at 11. I think Reiff and Kalil are gone by that pick and I agree with Direck that Martin is a left tackle versus a right, but who knows. Right tackle is the biggest current hole on the team, but I think a guy like Reynolds will be there in the third.
I also agree that Kuechly is the same player as Johnson. Kuechly is a stud, but I really like Belcher and I hope that Johnson has decided that he'd like to be the guy from 2011 for the rest of his career. They need depth at the ILB positions though.
Picking Richardson is a little like taking Kuechly. We've already got Charles, who is, on any given day, the best running back in the league, so you are taking a part time guy, a guy who is going to split time at 11. That's expensive.
Poe is a huge reach based on his lack of production in college. Same for Brockers (who I like a lot, but with only one year of production, it's a bit of a gamble). And I agree with Direck that Powe is a old school, in the trenches guy that is going to be a solid player at the nose for the Chiefs.
DeCastro is a guard. We've taken two All-American guards (Asamoah and Hudson) the past two drafts. Redundant and silly to draft another one, especially at #11.
We need a center, but it's about 7 to 11 spots too high to take Konz, who I really like but there is a bit of an injury history with him.
You've got elite level talent in Kuechly, DeCastro and Konz. But all three play positions that don't dictate a pick that high and in the case of DeCastro, we already have picked two young and talented guards. (And I think Hudson was a better player at the same stage as DeCastro anyway, and I'd rather take a pure center than try to convert a very good guard to center and draft another guard.)
I really think that the Chiefs make a move in this draft. A big one.
