Chiefs How are we going to replace TG from the draft?

chiefsfan1963 · 04-25-2009, 06:04 PM

We have to wait until tomorrow until Chiefs pick again. WIth the remaining picks can they fill the void on offense that was left after trading TG?

Are there sleepers out there in the later rounds that can replace future HOFer TG?

We have Cassel, LJ, and Bowe. This does not look like a powerhouse offense.

Looks like we are not going to put a lot of points on the board.

Looks like we will have to wait until next year's draft to get some offensive weapons. Looks like we'll have at least a top 10 pick maybe even another top 5 unfortunately.

I'm interested in seeing what our Offense will look like this year. It doesn't look great right now.

do we need to? the cards used the TE less than 31 teams last year IIRC

I wonder if we wait until the next week or two then offer Arizona the 2nd rounder we got from Atlanta for Boldin.

Finally, A sane person and response!

No ONE can replace Gonzo. Nor should we think it will happen. But, maybe another TE will come along that works with the system.....Remember, There was and never will be another Derrick Thomas! But good players have shown up.

Let's hope the Chiefs offense doesn't fall completely off a cliff without Tony Gonzalez like the Chiefs defense has since DT's death.

And what "good players" have "shown up" on defense to do anything CLOSE to replacing the impact or presence that DT had on the Chiefs defense?

Jared Allen was about the only one....NO ONE can replace DT.

Just like Joe Delaney

We need the recieving threat, I don't think it has to be a TE persay, but we do need someone that can go across the middle at get the ball.

The Cards had Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin, and Steve Breaston.
We...um...do not.

Don't assume the offensive will have the same look.
We don't have the same parts.

Hey Mic.. did you see how 2 teams traded 2010 first round picks for 2009 2nd round picks today?

I saw that Denver did. I also heard draftniks laughing their heads off about it.
I saw teams make dumb trades at least three times today.
What's that prove?

If empirical proof that future 1st round picks are devalued an entire round still has you in disbelief then you're hopeless.

Next year's picks have exactly one round less value than picks in the same round this season.

It's ALWAYS been that way. ALWAYS.
