Biggs: Chiefs exploring trade options with Pollard

Move would create opening for Mike Brown in lineup

The Kansas City Chiefs are exploring options to trade strong safety Bernard Pollard, a move that would create an opening for veteran Mike Brown to move into the starting lineup, sources said.

The 24-year-old Pollard, a fourth-year pro from Purdue, has made 31 starts the last two seasons. He had 98 tackles and one interception last season. But Brown was signed in late June to push both Pollard and free safety Jarrad Page.

“The defensive backfield as a whole, I think, there’s excellent competition,’’ Haley said late last month when asked if Brown had pushed Pollard for the job. “I don’t think there’s anybody who feels real comfortable. Mike’s one of the reasons for that but I think that’s the way it is across the board there. Those guys know there is somebody right behind them that could be playing just as well as them. That’s how you get your team good.”

Brown spent the last nine seasons with the Chicago Bears but has been injury plagued since 2004. He held it together to start 15 games last season, but had to leave three games early down the stretch with a recurring calf muscle pull and finally missed the finale. He is an instinctive player and made 101 tackles last season, the third-highest total in his career.

If Mays or Berry are chosen, I fully expect the server to shut down.

He would probably be perfect as a SS. Im excited to watch him play this year. Hes one of my 'boys' that I will be paying close attention to, and doing my own scouting reports on.

There are people that really don't grasp what those guys are.

They both could be true forces.

Just what Mays brings alone is ridiculous, there isn't another player playing on any level that is like Taylor Mays.

This. And the fact that at this point I dont think there is a RT worth being taken in the top 5 of the draft.

Good God, I hope we aren't hitching our wagon to Mike Brown.

Okay. Fine.

Ndamukong Suh or Jermaine Gresham with the first pick then.

Unless we pick up Pitta in the 2/3 round. If we do, then Suh is the guy.

I don't think Suh would be an effective NT in a 3-4, He seems more like a 5 tech. Cody or Boo Robinson are the top 2 IMO, and I think Robinson will be available with one of our 2nds.

TFG's head would explode because we don't use a top 5 ****ing pick on a Right Tackle.

Isn't he kind of small for a NT?

Or that you just don't take a RT in the top 5 period.

Boo? He's 6'2 and I've seen both 326 and 295. I've tried to find out which one it is but keep coming up with the same numbers. Anyone know for sure?

EDIT: Wake Forest has him listed at 295. He must have lost the weight since he had been listed as 326.
EDIT AGAIN: he said he weights 303 right now but if you look at him he has room to add weight. I personally think he's the best 3-4 NT prospect in the draft. I'll be trying to watch any and all WF games I can.

Mecca · 09-04-2009, 09:39 PM

No no more DL in the first we gotta take Mays damn it.

**Kyle DeLexus** · 09-04-2009, 09:42 PM

I've said it before and I'll say it until the draft, I'd love to have Mays OR Berry in the first.

Suh. Sorry, I was ambiguous.
