Peter King: Herm will draft Matt Ryan to buy himself another year
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.
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...21/mmqb/1.html 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. |

So, if someone thinks Dorsey is an injury risk it is unreasonable for them to want the Chiefs to draft another player that is regarded as a top 10 player?

IF he's ****ed up. Which I don't think he is, and I'm sure will be examined to death. The guy is not injury prone, or seriously injured.

I can't call up the link to the draft, but IIRC, Long is there at our #5 pick in this draft. And yes I would take him under this scenario. And if he was gone, yes I would consider trading down. And yes, the O-line would be my focus. Hard and heavy on day 1 of this draft. Does that mean this will happen? No. But then again, I don't think this team has as many holes as you think there are. I think we are a couple of three years away from contending, but mostly that is the young guys getting experience which would include this years draft picks. |

I don't read it that way at all, it seems more like this is a thread just talking about the idea of trading down, not that "everyone" only wants an OL. Should we explain for the 500th time why if Jake Long and Ellis are the two highest on the Chiefs draft board still available we should take Long? And for me being involved with some of these discussions previously with you, I never said OL or nothing. It's really an old tired dead horse arguement, you only think your way is the only way. Who knows, maybe we take ellis in that situation, but I doubt it, just my .02 cents.... |

All I'm saying is that if Long is gone and we find a trading partner we should go with it, this year is heavy with OL and if you havn't noticed we're not exactly loading up on free agent talent this year, meaning the more draft picks we have the better!

IMO. The Starting D-line is our strength. Allen, Tank, Turk, and Hali. If it is not that, then Gun should be gone right after the season is over. While Edwards and Boone were not great starters, they should be good enough at a position of depth... along with some 2nd day pick/picks. LB starters are above average. Could use depth and eventual replacement, but again that could be 2nd day picks this season as well. CB. We need one. 1st day if at all possible. Safties. Gun wanted these guys. Said Pollard wouldn't be there in the 3rd so we took him in the 2nd. Should be in decent shape for now at that position. O-Line. It is in shambles. TE - Gonzo and then what? Allen? WR- Bowe and question marks including Darling. RB - Pretty good shape. But needs O-line. QB - Question marks. But needs O-line most definately. |

just a few games i have seen him play at BC, and a just a feeling. The games i saw him play i was not impressed at all, especially not impressed enough to take him at #5. If its between him and dorsey/ellis. And we take Ryan, i will be very disapointed
