Greatest needs for the Chiefs in the draft...

[ChiefMojo]

What would you guys say is the main needs and possible order of drafting for positions in this upcoming draft for KC?

QB, S, CB, ILB, WR, DE, etc. What else could be position of needs and where at in the draft do you see them coming?

[NJChiefsFan]

Yes, and as our good friend Rambob fails to understand, getting a QB will fix other positions on its own. Not that it will make you a SB team, work obviously needs to be done elsewhere. But getting a real QB makes others not have to play perfectly. You don't need the Oline to be an A every game, or for Bowe/Charles to drag the QB down the field. Can you imagine if the QB actually picked up the defense, for even TWO games a year?!

1) QB
2) WR
3) CB (2 and 3 are interchangeable)
4) S
5) ILB
6) TE
7) DE (Yes, sadly)
8)OLB (We need three pass rushers; we have two
9) C (Hudson is still a big ?)
10) RB

God **** this team has so many ****ing holes. Mother**** you, *****.

Do you say this assuming Bowe is gone, or would that actually make WR the clear 2 if we didn't resign him?

I made that list assuming Bowe would be signed. Jon Baldwin is ****ing worthless and Breaston may be a Section 8. It's probably not a coincidence that the teams left standing have multiple legitimate receiving threats. Who do the Chiefs have other than Bowe?

[BossChief]

I don't really think receiver is a top need, but I could be wrong. Bowe and Breaston are legit starters in this league and guys like Baldwin, Wylie and McCluster are still developing. With an upgrade from Cassel and Quinn to Geno, it's possible that we have enough talent there to make some noise.

We need a starting inside backer and corner, though and at least one defensive line spot should be open...as we jettison two top five picks from the DL rotation.

I'd make an easy argument that safety needs upgraded more than receiver, too.

QB
CB
S
ILB
DE

Those are my top 5, anyway.

Safety is a way bigger need then some might realize. We haven't had our two starters at safety actually be able to complete a whole year together since being drafted. Injury is always high with the position.

#2 CB is a huge need of course, and our piss poor pass D not being able to count on safety help can make it look even worse. Look back even when we had a good #2 CB, we were still abused in the passing game because of poor safety help from gems like Jon McGraw and Mike Brown.

[ChiefMojo]

Problem is we don't know if Breaston is in the future plans or not? It would still be nice to get another WR in general. Someone with speed that can make plenty of YAC after the catch. I would rate WR behind #2 CB but from a play making perspective it isn't that far in difference. Either way there would be some tremendous CB or WR prospects at pick #34. I'm still leaning towards CB with the 2nd round pick.

The thing about S is that you can generally find top flight players at that position in rounds 3-5.

WR is one of the few needs we could fill in free agency.

Sign one and use that draft pick somewhere else...

OL depth OLB depth

really there isn't a position we can look away at and say we're fine.

None of the rest matters until we get one

If they sign Bowe he is #1. We don't really know what Baldwin is yet. He could very well be a #2. The Chiefs could use a burner at WR. Is our #2 and #3 already be on the roster?

Breaston, Wylie, McCluster, Newsome, Hemingway, and Bellamy will all be trying for new looks with a new QB.

The Chiefs and top flight S help? lol
