I have hope for Tyler, and if he does develop, then with Boone, Tyler and Ellis, we'd have a monster rotation. If McBride develops as well, we'd be set for years at the position.

Really good thread!
I could actually see this scenario playing out. It seems as if we are following the blueprint of the Bears under the Lovie Smith regime. Just about the time the Bears defense was about as good as they come, and the offense was about as bad as it comes, the 2006 draft rolls around. The Bears should draft all offense... all of the time. Right? Wrong... 2nd Danieal Manning DB Abilene Christian 2nd Devin Hester WR Miami (FL) (moved to DB?) 3rd Dusty Dvoracek DT Oklahoma 4th Jamar Williams LB Arizona State 5th Mark Anderson DE Alabama |

There is a much greater chance of Ellis and Doresy being elite DT's than there is of Ryan being an Elite QB. You start one QB vs starting 2 DT's. Turk and Tank had a pretty good defense around them, Croyle didn't have a good offense around him. Bottom line You don't see players like Ellis or Doresy every year, you see QB's like Ryan every year.

Dorsey Long, Ellis, Mcfadden Long Ryan/woodson/brohm the moral to my story is if we go 4th we will get dorsey, C long, J long, or Ellis. if we go 5th, we hope someone takes a QB and or McFadden and then we still get Dorsey, long, long ellis. if we dont reach this draft could be very good due to depth and needed positions

Just don't forget that DT isn't nearly as important as the QB position. That accounts for something. Plus there have been several DT busts. Ryan Sims, Wyndell Bryant (remember him?), the Jets Robertson. Granted some positions are safer than others. But I would argue that DT is not one of them. |

I believe Ellis will be their because he's truly underrated, and guys like Vernon Gholston will jump ahead of him because of their combine and Pro Day measurables

I'd say the Chiefs can't afford to keep dipping into the DT well. They've drafted 8 of them since 2001, with 5 of those picks coming on day 1. They haven't hit on any of them (Tank and Turk excluded; they're unknown quantities at this point) and every miss doesn't just hurt the team at DT, it prevents them from spending picks on other positions of need. In the end, they took Tank and Turk last year, and, for good or ill, those are the guys they're going to have to count on to develop into players. They just can't afford to keep spending key draft picks on the same position over and over.

Chiefs pick BPA at #5 but still have a lackluster season in 08? or Chiefs REACH for Chirs Williams at #5 just b/c we need an OT? my guess is the ladder
