Sam Hall · 04-24-2007, 05:15 PM

I don't care if it's a reach, just make it feasible.

2. Blalock. 4 year starter. Should be a pro bowl guard. Played RT (which suddenly becomes a position of need) for 2 years and never gave up a sack. No character issues and is extremely smart. Everything you want in a player, except for the fact he is most likely a guard with the possibility of RT.

3. Reggie Nelson. Superb athlete that brings it on Sunday. Lots of reports he will slip to KC. Arguably not a position of need, but IMO it is tough to pass on a player that could be the next Reed.

4. Charles Johsnon, DE. I know 99.9% of people will disagree with me valuing him this high. I just think he is this year's Tamba Hali. Good effort, hard worker, etc. NFL.COM link

I disagree with you on this one. Blalock is a great athlete, but he doesn't have that killer instinct to finish off blocks.

Joe Staley OT - Central Michigan... just really hoping he will still be on the board

if he was not... Jarrett or Meachum

Chiefnj · 04-25-2007, 08:30 AM

I'm really amazed by the numbers Johnson put up in limited playing time.

"In 35 games at Georgia, Johnson started 13 times. He registered 73 tackles (54 solos) with 29½ stops for losses of 151 yards and 62 quarterback pressures. He ranks No. 10 in school history with 19½ sacks for minus-100 yards and batted down 12 passes. He caused five fumbles and recovered three others for nine yards in returns, including a score. "

Wrong thread.

Joe Staley discussion needs to go here: http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=161837

Staley is a great pick if our talent evaluators think he can develop into an elite left tackle.

Meachem would be fantastic if we are willing to rely on him as a true #1 wideout and the cornerstone of our passing game.

Harrell would be a nice pick if we our now confident in our ability to scout DT prospects and feel he will fill be a disruptive 3-tech player in our system.

I'm not high on taking a CB early when you're running a Cover 2, but Ross or Revis would be fine if they develop into Pro Bowl caliber players.

Setting aside the whole Staley pissing match for a second, I'm not sure I trust our talent evaluators when it comes to offensive linemen lately. Or maybe it's just Solari. Either way, we get these guys with big upside and they never develop. We seem to do much better with known quantities.

I agree on Meachem. Wouldn't mind that at all.

I know I take alot of heat because of it, but I still like Harrell. I think his injuries fall into the "freak" category moreso than the "trend" and he proved with his bench press at the combine that he's fully healed. He has tremendous physical talent AND he's got a good work ethic. He would be a nice compliment to Hali, IMO.

I'm also not high on taking a CB for the same reason. It's a Cover 2. But we gotta take one somewhere because our starters are OLD. So if they decide to do it in the first, I'm ok with it, as long as it's not Aaron Ross.

SBK · 04-25-2007, 01:51 PM

Give me D Lineman or O lineman and I'll be happy.

I'm with that 100%

I'd be thrilled with Harrell, and happy with Meacham, Revis or Houston.

He sure has a "trend" for "freak" accidents.

He played in 35 games in college. He injured his ankle early in his career and it looks like he tried to come back too soon.

He missed all of last season with a torn biceps.

Obviously the ankle and biceps injuries aren't related. And in between them, he played an entire season without injury.

Height & length, Route running, quickness, experience & football speed.

He's been doing it better than any of the other WR candidates for years.
