Chiefs | Team meets with Otah
Thu, 27 Mar 2008 16:40:13 -0700

Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Sun-Times, reports the Kansas City Chiefs met with University of Pittsburgh OT Jeff Otah Monday, March 24.

I think the chiefs hope they can grab him in the second, wich is considerable since we pick early in most rounds.

Of biblical proportions

I really wouldn't be upset if we took Flacco in the 2nd

Sure-Oz · 03-28-2008, 10:14 AM

We better not pick him at #5 like some douch on nfl network thinks

I'd rather stay in the dark and let the Chiefs keep their draft strategy from the other teams than know the info and blow any "strategy" Carl and Herm might have.

The OT or bust is a dipshit philosophy. I'm sorry, but I can't keep my mouth shut anymore. Have you seen this team? How in the Hell is one LT , a rookie, no less, going to be the saviour of this team? Answer:he won't. Jake Long won't be there. Take the BPA. Why reach and get less value?

We will have to win more games at some point you know? If we can develop our talent hopefully that will translate to more wins. Why does everyone act like winning more than 4 games before we get to the playoffs is a sin?

Mecca and I have been saying the same things for months. Its no use trying to persuade some of the guys on here.

Honestly, no matter who we draft, this teams NOT going to win more than 6 or 7 games next year tops.

This team is at the rock bottom. Ask yourself this: What do most teams do when they reach rock bottom? They draft a franchise QB.

Or BPA in the 1st, and QB in the 2nd.

Im now convinced the Chiefs will draft a QB in one of the first two rounds.

I'd go for that.

Why can't people understand that winning 8 games next year isn't the goal, and that you shouldn't base your draft on that?

suds79 · 03-28-2008, 11:22 AM

Man that could be sweet if we nab Otah in the 2nd but I don't think it'll happen.

I'm actually more interested in 2nd round OTs now. I was a Long fan but I don't think he'll be there and even so, there are some other guys you have to seriously consider at 5.

Anyways, I think it's more realistic that we'll take a an OT in the 2nd. Now who will that be? Otah? Cherilus? (at RT), Nicks?, Anthony Collins?

I can't wait for this draft to finally happen.

Why do people assume that if someone wants to draft a tackle that their goal is to win 8 games?

It's the only reason I can think of to bypass better players for short term gain.

I'm saying we have to get better before we get good. We're not going to the playoffs next year, but if we can improve to 7-8 wins we'll be in a position to make a move the year after. Its not the end game, but if we only win 4 games again next year, we're moving in the wrong direction and are that much farther away from being a playoff team. The goal should be to get better. I think doubling our win total would be fantastic for this team.

Drafting a player who will be an anchor for 10 years over a flashier "sexier" player isnt a short term fix.
