Survey of Draft Websites: Chiefs will pick...
Matthew Stafford, QB, Georgia
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft0...odd&id=3803148 Brian Orakpo, DE, Texas http://www.draftseason.com/lupagus-nfl-mock-draft Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma http://www.walterfootball.com/draft2009.php Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma http://newnfldraft.com/ Aaron Curry, OLB Wake Forest http://www.draftcountdown.com/sub/Mock-Draft-A.php Brian Orakpo, DE, Texas http://www.footballsfuture.com/2009/nflmockdraft.html James Laurinaitis, LB, Ohio State http://bleacherreport.com/articles/7...raft-round-one This site compiles draft 'experts' picks. Out of the top 25, only 3 have Bradford falling to the Chiefs at #3 while 9 have Matt Stafford falling to the 3rd overrall (!) and 3 have Orakpo and 3 have Curry being selected as the 3rd overall pick. Just 12 of 25 project a QB to be selected as the 3rd overall (assuming most realize KC has the #3 pick). 10 of the 25 have defensive players being selected #3. The rationale provided by many of the draft websites is that the Chiefs should continue to develop Tyler Thigpen and draft to address the NFL's worst _efense which set an NFL record for fewest sacks in league history. Of course the X factor is the new GM, but I thought it was interesting that Sam Bradford was not a slam dunk for most draft web sites, and fewer than 50% see Kansas City drafting a QB at all.

Derrick Thomas was a rush backer.... I don't believe non rushers backers are worth a pick that high, he'd have to literally be a every year pro bowler.

Sanchez and every significant underclassman has declared.
So you're high enough on Sanchez to take him at 3? Even the best LB prospects can easily disappoint if taken that high. Look at AJ Hawk. He's a solid player, but a solid OLB is never worth a top 5 pick. |

I'd likely take Sanchez in the spot if he persay didn't come out, I'd then default to my opinion the best player best upside player in this draft and take Taylor Mays. |

Curry isn't amazing. And he's not a Maualuga or a Cushing, who may be the product of their teammate. He does it all by himself. He would be a solid pick.

That can be a problem.....playing with other players like the SC guys you mentioned means they understand scheme and assignment discipline better than a guy who has to be a 1 man team...

Just to clarify I'm still on the Sanchez/Stafford bandwagon
