While the Chiefs were groaning about losing Davis, I was jumping up and down in front of the TV thanking God that Carolina took him, and left our idiot braintrust with no choice but to pick a good player.
Thank you Marty Hurney and John Fox!!

It may be that the Chiefs literally felt there was no way that DJ would fall to us and therefore spent a lot more time looking at Davis and getting to know him, thus they really were locking onto him. It was maybe a surprise to the Chiefs braintrust when DJ fell to us. Who knows what happens if both were there. Sounds like we would've leaned Davis, but if they had to actually discuss it I'm not sure how it would have gone. I think DV liked Davis because he gives them a lot of "versatility" as he put it in terms of where to line him up. but as they said, they ended up getting the best pure linebacker. Only time will tell who is better...

This reminds me of when we drafted DT. There was another LB named Thomas on the board. It was agonizing but we took the right one that time. Broderick Thomas crashed and burned.

I was listening to Nick Lowery this morning and he sounded pretty happy. He said it's a testament to Trent Green and Holmes and the vets on offense that this team hasn't completely imploded into finger-pointing after being so bad on defense. He really thinks these upgrades will make a difference. |

Thomas will be like a more athletic Lynch in the Cats cover 2. I was pissed when I saw NO jump up to steal Jammal Brown. Carolina was prepared to draft the Brown, but had to make a dramatic change and grabbed the guy I wanted for the Chiefs. Car really needed some OLine help.
Now I liking the pick since they are my 2. Carolina needs some June 1 OLine help now. I think the Chiefs will be better off in the long run with the natural LB. |

I don't know... Carolina picked up good O-Linemen in round 3, that one kid from Alabama (Evan Mathis) is going to be good.
But I would believe that Carolina will be drafting some more O-Line for depth here, and for the future as well.
