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.

Sam Bradford

Taylor Mays

Carlos Dunlap
Gerald McCoy
Ndamukong Suh
Trent Williams
Damian Williams
Arrellious Benn
Dez Bryant
Jermaine Gresham
Bryan Bulaga
Greg Hardy
Sergio Kindle
Terrence Cody

There's a good list of some top prospects...who would you take?

Ummm... with only knowing about 3-4 of those guys I really have no ****ing clue.

But if we are picking Top 3 I would as of right now take Berry if he was there. I will have to do some research on some of these other guys.

Who don't you know? I'll atleast somewhat break them down if you want, I could have added Ciron Black also for fun.

It would be faster telling you who I do know

Bradford
Mays
Berry
Cody

Not seeing much else at pass rusher. 6'5" is pretty big to be playing OLB though...

How the hell several of these guys are in the Big 12!

Russell Okung-LT Oklahoma State projected top 5 pick

Carlos Dunlap-DE-Florida -6'7 290 incredible gifts think Mario Williams or Peppers

Gerald McCoy-DT Oklahoma, about 300lbs not a NT prospect

Ndamukong Suh-DT-Nebraska-very top of the line prospect, very powerful and strong could profile as a NT more likely a 5 tech

Trent Williams-LT Oklahoma

Damian Williams-WR USC

Arrellious Benn-WR Illinois also a dynamic return man

Dez Bryant WR Oklahoma State

Jermaine Gresham TE- Oklahoma

Bryan Bulaga OT Iowa

Greg Hardy DE Ole Miss, has had issues with injuries and foot problems

Sergio Kindle OLB/Rush backer Texas

If you want rush backers it's Sergio Kindle..that or wait till say the 2nd round and look at guys like Ricky Sapp and Jerry Hughes..

I don't like Hardy as a standup player and he's also had foot problems.

Sweet Daddy Hate · 09-04-2009, 11:56 PM

No Tim Tebow?

Mecca · 09-04-2009, 11:58 PM

I am not listing Tim Tebow in a top 15 or top 20 list.

At this point I would prefer Berry over that list of pass rushers. Where the Chiefs will likely be drafting seems high for Kindle at this point. Who knows, maybe he or another OLB prospect proves this season he is worth going that high...

But...but...

Kindle to me is a step above the rest of the rush backer prospects because of how much natural ability he has.

Thanks for the list I appreciate it.

Honestly I don't watch that much college football though I have started watching a little more the last year or so but it is still not much.

Depending on how well\bad Alberts plays this year I could see us taking an OT with the first pick like Okung and move Alberts to RT.

Other than that I still like Berry or Ndamukong Suh

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

Trent Williams would be a viable pick, especially if the Chiefs pull a Peter King and actually go 8-8, putting them in the #10-15 spots in the draft.

Yeah I know I will get heat from that I expect it. But Alberts has struggled in pre-season and if he continues to struggle during the regular season we are going to have to think about moving him and drafting a LT.

Of course if he steps it up and plays good then we can concentrate on OL in the 2-5 rounds
