Peter King: Herm will draft Matt Ryan to buy himself another year - Page 17

FloridaMan88 · 03-24-2008, 10:52 AM

I still doubt the Chiefs will take Ryan, but this is an interesting rationale for why they might and this is totally in line with the piece of garbage that Herm is.

Kansas City. Boston College QB Matt Ryan. Just a hunch, though they'll have trouble passing on Michigan offensive tackle Jake Long.

Strange thing here. At the combine, Carl Peterson told me the Chiefs loved Ryan, but there was no way they could take him because of their needs elsewhere. (Offensive line, I'm guessing.) Then they sent half the front office to his workout the other day at BC. Methinks Carl does not want to be the man to pass on the guy he thinks will be a franchise player. The other thing this does is buy coach Herman Edwards one more year of rebuilding. Even if the Chiefs go 5-11 this year, they couldn't whack Edwards until after they got a really good look at Ryan.

Oh, FTR, I thought that he was overvalued last year.

Nice....draft Matt Ryan and screw up another potential QB out of college. Stick with the plan front office and build the O-line.

RustShack · 03-26-2008, 10:25 AM

OR we would draft Ryan, sit him out a year like a lot of other teams succesfully do, build the Oline in the draft(because there is more than our round, some people think only the 1st round matters), then ALSO build it up MORE next year too. You can't do everything at once, rebuilding isn't a one year deal.

So this means that the Chiefs should just quit and never try to win. You can have the best OL ever assembled if you got a crappy ass QB you aren't gonna win a championship.

Brohm's getting to much blame for Louisville's bad season, that's all that is. He took it all year despite it really not being his fault. He doesn't play defense...

The same works in reverse.

You guys do realize there are more rounds to a draft than 1 right?

KC4EVER · 03-26-2008, 12:51 PM

The more I read into it, the more I believe KC will take Ryan if he falls past Atlanta.

Yep! And last year in the 2nd and 3rd round we drafted some players that should be expected to start this season. To expect anything less than that from any of us says that the 2nd and 3rd round this season doesn't mean anything as well.

The more I read, and the closer the draft gets, the more I believe that the Chiefs will try to trade down.

FTR, that would piss me off.

KC4EVER · 03-26-2008, 12:58 PM

I'm all for trading down if the deal makes sense.

I actually have no problem with it, if done correctly.

If we can't get Jake, trade down with any team that drafts AHEAD OF DENVER and take Clady.

KC4EVER · 03-26-2008, 01:00 PM

I don't agree with taking Clady, his wonderlic score was at the level of reerun, I'd take Williams or Otah over him.

Of the top OTs in this draft, Clady scares me the most.

I fear a Trezelle Jenkins size bust.

I'd rather have Williams than any other of the top OTs in this draft.
