NFL Draft 2011 Draft Piorities: Pick Three - Page 2

**Mr. Kotter** · 02:32 PM

Poll forthcoming

I'd go with NT, WR, OLB....with OT and C "next." Backup/QOTF would be a late round target.

Pick three/four in the draft, and get the other two in FA.

Thoughts?

Probably in a different order (WR, NT, C) but I agree with these three choices as being the most important to target in this off season.

Or simply, THIS!

Unless we get incredibly lucky, it's going to be very difficult for us to get starting-caliber players at all of these positions in the draft (C, WR, NT, OLB).

I think it's a certainty that we could get the first, and we should be able to accomplish 1 of the next three. From there, we need Pioli to perform like the highest paid GM in the league.

1) Baldwin/J.Jones
2) Powe
3) I wonder if O'dowd will be there?

We may be able to get Baldwin or Julio Jones in the first, and maybe Powe in the 2nd.

1. QB

2. NT

3. WR

There will be an immediate starter at WR available in the first or second where we pick and likely an immediate starter at C in the first or second. (I'm not convinced that we need an immediate starter at C, though.)

I haven't looked closely enough to see what NT would be available in the first, but if there is a potential starter available, you have to look there first. There simply aren't enough NTs to go around.

No stud OLB will fall to us past the 3rd round that can be counted on to be an upgrade over what we already have.

We have lots of holes, but only a few can be filled via this year's draft. Hopefully some will be filled in free agency, but the last few offseasons do not give me much hope on that front.

QB just ain't gonna happen...unless you mean late round backup/QBOTF.

As bad as Cassel looked in a couple of games, another WR and better protection would solve much of it. Pioli ain't bailing on him, yet. Another year like this....maybe. But not yet.

While this sounds intriguing, definitely, I believe that C and NT are the two biggest areas of need on this team. In that order, actually.

Remember that DMC was drafted to be a slot WR, and he must develop. Brokaki was also a hell of a first-year player. Great addition. So I think we have some potential here for further growth.

Yeah, if we don't nab one by round three...it would most likely come via FA.

Everything goes out the window if Hali's contract isn't extended.

I wouldn't address it in round 1, but in round 2 I'd start looking at another HB. Either Haley and Weis were complete morons all year in not giving Charles the ball more, or the guy just can't handle the NFL. If the latter, KC needs a consistent HB.

Just Passin' By · 01-10-2011, 02:47 PM

NT
WR
C

But the team really needs help all along the o-line, and at OLB, too. With the Chiefs having been at the bottom of the spending barrel in recent years, this would be a good year to spend some money on decent (and youngish) free agents and really help that offensive line.

Seriously? IMO, the interior of the o-line was porous all year because Wiegman could get dominated at the point. Even when he wasn't tossed on his ass, he was tossed back, collapsing the pocket.

I think we're in desperate need of a C.

Our center is currently playling LG for us, so that's not a priority.

There aren't any viable QB prospects that are going to fall to us in the mid-20s and while I'd be actively looking to upgrade, it's not realistic.

As such, this seems easy: NT, WR and LOLB

I could see swapping WR and NT, but the NT does so much to help us across the board. Someone mentioned the fact that our run defense was solid, but this was only because we sold out with Johnson and Belcher. With a good NT, those guys can do more in coverage to avoid the ass-kickings over the middle.

The NT is the most important position in this defense and we don't have one. That's my target if one falls. However, as this draft appears to be better for WRs and OLBs, I think I'd end up drafting a WR as we're likly to get a better talent at our draft slot there.

Just as long as our first goes to one of those positions, I'm happy.

Middle round RBs seem to transition better than they use to....so if Charles and Jones are both back next year, I'd say that would be the earliest we go that route...unless someone falls in our laps.
