Chiefs Crennel pondering offer to become Chiefs D.C. - Page 4

Just Passin' By · 02-28-2009, 11:12 PM

I didn't see this posted anywhere, so I thought I'd pass it on:

Quote:

Waiting on Romeo: Former Browns coach Romeo Crennel is convalescing from successful hip replacement surgery and weighing an offer to become the defensive coordinator of the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Chiefs are holding the position open for Crennel, who is waiting to learn exactly how long his rehabilitation process will keep him out. The Chiefs may have enticed Crennel a little bit more by trading for New England linebacker Mike Vrabel.

Whether or not Crennel accepts, he has decided not to remain with the Browns in an unspecified role offered by Mangini.

Crennel previously declined an offer to rejoin Charlie Weis as Notre Dame's defensive coordinator. Crennel and Weis were Belichick's coordinators during New England's three Super Bowl championship seasons.

There are too many variables in drafts like needs of teams ahead of you, strength of draft class to put a basic formula into play to say "this position is a reach at this pick."

The top half of that 2007 draft was stocked with talent. Joe Thomas, Calvin, Adrian Peterson, Gaines Adams, Landry.

Patrick Willis in this 2009 draft would go in the top 3.

I disagree 100%, and I'll leave it at that.

I don't think some people like to realize that 3 LB's have gone in the top 3 in the last 20 years.

And those 3 players track records aren't good.

I think the most important question is how good is B.J. Raji regardless of his position?

Not everything can be based on history. Before Tom Brady was there ever a bad ass 7th round QB?

What would be your top 3 options for the 3rd pick now that the Cassel trade has been made?

**doomy3** · 02-28-2009, 11:39 PM

Also, I hope we get Romeo. Our staff would look pretty damn good, IMO. Nice experience on there.

Scott Wright had him rated 7th, and IIRC, he was picked 11th, behind such talents as Levi Brown, Gaines Adams, Jamaal Anderson and Ted Ginn Jr.

Even the best MLB's typically go 10th or later, and the few that have gone earlier haven't been worth their draft slot.

For this team.....It's BJ Raji or drop out if they can.

Damn, would have been much better off drafting him higher then, huh?

It's just speaks to the value of LBs look at how many mid round LB's have turned into really good players.

That's what I think too, but I wouldn't be upset with Curry though. I would really like to drop back and get some more picks though. Raji could probably be had around 10 or so...

Yeah, but don't you think the teams that followed the value rules in that draft to pick WR, LT, etc wish they would have taken Willis instead?
