The Chiefs are now about 8th in draft order. What if the safeties are off the board?

I'd have to say Hughes or McClain. Hughes is not being talked about much now, but I do think he is going to shoot up boards big time once the whole draft process starts. I've tried to catch every game that TCU plays on TV and he has yet to disappoint. He does it all and is not a guy who just gets by on athleticism, even though he probably could. He has legit pass rush moves and goes 100% every play. Prototypical 3-4 OLB and a top 10 pick IMO.

1a) Hughes
1b) McClain

Hughes and Graham are my favs right now for 3-4 OLBs .. Though Texas has some interesting prospects in both Kindle and Muckelroy. Not sure Muckelroy is big enough though.

Yeah, I've watched a couple TCU games in the last few weeks, and he has been nothing short of impressive.

He was awful for the 49ers for the last 3 years.

Dlinemen are often not productive till their third or sometimes even their fourth year. That said, Ill pass on em.

I never thought I would say this type of thing, but I actually hope we dont win too many games the rest of the way and miss out on the elite talent at the top.

Franklin is 31 years old and was a Raven prior to signing with the 49ers.
