NFL Draft The Chiefs are now about 8th in draft order. What if the safeties are off the board? - Page 5

Direckshun · 11-23-2009, 02:54 PM

There are more than two teams who need safety ahead of us, and you know the Raiders are going to go for Mays.

So... in the likely event that, at 8, the Chiefs cannot get Berry or Mays, who do you go for?

Also likely off the board by #8: Suh, Okung, and a couple QBs that we're not going to want anyway.

I ask because I really don't like our non-safety options in the Top 10.

Carlos Dunlap or Gerald McCoy for DE?

Reach for Terrance Cody?

Bruce Campbell for RT?

Joe Haden or Donovan Warren opposite Flowers?

Damien Williams or Dez Bryant opposite Bowe?

You'd have to guess Pioli would go defensive line, given these options. I'm guessing a reach for Cody or a more value-oriented pick for Dunlap or McCoy would be most likely.

Hard to say no to Bryant opposite Bowe, however.

In the first round you have to take an impact player. A playmaker. Period.

1. Giants
2. Cowboys
3. Vikings
4. Saints
5. Ravens

If that safety had Ed Reed or Troy Polamalu potential, yes I would in a heartbeat.

Very good. Now, tell me how many first round offensive linemen each of those O lines have.

Ugh. Berry might not even go pro, jesus... I guess if he doesn't go pro then we just need to tank it again next year so we can have the top pick? This stuff gets old right now. The only safety we can even think about right now is Taylor Mays, unless Berry makes his announcement to go pro.

Or how about another Deron Cherry!

While true, one of his coaches said "I'd take him with the #1 overall pick this year if I had it" That just seems to be saying he's gone to me.

It was Monte Kiffin who said that.

If this is your definition of what you need in a 1st round pick, then there's a guy that fits the bill to a 'T' that is not getting any hype on this board.

C.J. Spiller

Not sure how well he would pair up with Charles since they are similar (although Charles is not as good), but Spiller is the type of playmaker that has a chance to take it to the house every time he touches it. He's Percy Harvin at RB.

I was pretty sure that's who it was, but didn't want to say so without remembering 100% thanks for confirming while I'm at work.

$500 says our 1st pick is OL. It's a lock.
