DRAFT. Corner, Def-end will be the position. You can find MLB free agent...

Do you agree. I hear all you talking about MLB but we can't keep throwing picks at that position. Kawika and beisel might be able to handle it there.

OLB might be needed in the draft but I want Corner or Defensive end.

Agree ?

[nascher]

yes

Lbs via Free Agency

Corner and DE are the two biggest needs IMO.

He speaks the truth.

Yes, I've been saying that for a while. We still need to draft LBs, but we can find a starting MLB in FA.

Other than Mitchell how many MLB's have the Chiefs drafted in the last 5 or 6 years? I don't see them throwing picks at the position.

I think they need a dominant MLB, a DE and a CB (in that order).

Mitchell and Beisel cannot 'handle' MLB... they've proven that much.

MLB = the defense's QB. If there's a stud MLB available in the draft, you take him. If not, Corner. RDE would be nice, but it's the least of our defensive weaknesses right now.

Is there a MLB worth Drafting in the 1st round?

I say go with Hartwell from the Ravens.

Probably not. I was just commenting on the mistatement that the Chiefs have thrown picks at that position in recent years.

I think pursuing a free agent MLB is probably the best approach, but two of the better guys - Hartwell and Bell play in a 3-4 and I think there would be a problem in adjusting to a 4-3 early in the season.

I'm sick of this "they play in a 3-4" crap. Hartwell is a playmaker and has had the best mentor one could have. Singleterry and Lewis, I say give the dude a chance, whats the worst that happens? He doesn't make it at MLB but replaces someone at OLB.

He's played inside linebacker and has the size.

Hartwell would be great. I'd actually prefer a vet MLB at this point (considering our recent track record in the draft).

That kid out of Virginia, Ahmad Brooks, would be a nice fit IMO.

I agree with this, resign Scott Fujita or just start Keyaron Fox at Left Outside Linebacker next year, sign Ed Hartwell from the Ravens, and Draft Ahmad Brooks and we should have a very good LB core.

I would love the lineup of Fujita, Hartwell, and Brooks. The Brooks kid is gonna be a stud from what i've heard and i cant till the draft gets here I hope we draft him but we probably wouldnt have a shot at getting him at all more than likely.

I think the developement of Allen and Fox will help shape the draft. I think Allen will be one of the starting ends next year, so if you draft another DE, would you look at starting a rookie and a second year man. At LB I think Fox is going to be something special, you have Fujita who is fast and Fox who is faster. I would like to see Mitchell live up to his immense potential, but that goes for more than just a couple of current young Chiefs. Beisel is a good player, tough and old school. I think we are set a safety, with Woods and Wesley, youngsters Harts and Pile. To me, we need a CB who will stick you at the line, and then be inside your jock all the way to the locker room. Overall I agree that we need to go "D", look for speed, speed, speed and as much nasty as you can fit into the speed. GO CHIEFS.

That would be a RADICAL improvement. Hartwell and Fujita, we all know about. Brooks would be the only question mark.... but he does have size (6'4", ~240-250#) and speed (4.6). He's scary fast for that build. Plus, he can TACKLE. IMO that's what we need more than anything else: players who can TACKLE on defense.

I'd love to draft a dominant MLB, but realistically I don't see it happening as they give Mitchell another year or two to learn how to play football.

If we don't draft an MLB, I'd vote for an OLB. Is Barber going to be back? Is he a good answer anyway? If not him, then who's going to be our SLB next year? Unless someone steps up and seizes the job, I see a gaping hole at that position.
