It won't be DeCastro. I'm still betting Kuechly. But here's a dark horse...

Is there any chance you'd argue either of those were poor selections?

The Saints drafted Meachem when it was just Devery Henderson and Marques Colston at the position. The #3 WR slot was occupied by a broke dick Joe Horn and *huuuuuuhhhp* TERRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANCE..... COOOOOOOOOOOPPEEEEEEERRRRRRR

Drafting Meachem made sense from the perspective that they needed another WR in a 3-WR attack formation, since that team loved to chuck the ball around. Sure enough, Joe Horn retired the next year, and Copper couldn't always be bothered to use his talents for the team. Meachem was a smart pick.

Same with the Packers, who needed electricity in the kick return game as well as a more "gadgety" WR who would hopefully develop into a more reliable threat than James Jones, who still tends to sit in McCarthy's doghouse quite often.

BINGO !!

However, I like Stephen Hill over Wright. He will be the next Mike Wallace/Victor Cruz. Yes I now they are 2 different type of receivers and I don't care if there is only 28 rec from this last season. When you just watch his combine speed, combine routes and especially his combine venus fly trap hands this guy has HUGE upside and WILL STRETCH THE FIELD !!

Yeah I know I referred to the 'combine' and not actual 'game play' but this guy is going to be very good.

Considering who their QBs are, no. Adding another weapon to the arsenal that Cassel can't use...

Build the offense you need to win a championship. Bowe, Baldwin, Breaston, and Wright is a championship caliber WR corps.

If the QB can't play in that offense, get a new QB.

Like Brandon Weeden in the second.

Couldn't resist.

we can pick up a WR any year, we already have 2 first round picks at the position...and Weeden is a 40 year old dweeb

I think the Chiefs will draft a WR but I seriously doubt it will be in the first two rounds.

That said, if the Chiefs were to trade #11 to NE for #27 and #31 (cross thread comment), I would have a really hard time passing on Stephen Hill if he were there.

Meh, we already have a 6'4 receiver who isn't the best route runner. Too similar of a player to Bowe and Baldwin already

Way faster than either, though. I wouldn't mind a large receiver that can also stretch the field.

the inside running game has sucked ass and costs us in short yardage all the time. It didn't matter who ran the ball up the middle Jones,McClain,Battle,DMC ... it sucked.

which is what Decastro would be drafted to fix.

The inside running game sucked with Jackie Battle and Thomas Jones, running behind Casey Wiegmann and Ryan Lilja.

Peyton Hillis and somebody like Robert Turbin in the 4th round? Running behind Rodney Hudson and Jon Asamoah?

Should not be an issue worth spending a 1st to repair.

Asamoah is pretty weak in the run game so far.

I think T.Y is this years Cobb.


Wouldn't be upset if he came in the 3 or even 2.

[O.city]

We do have a shitty situation at qb, but you can't or well shouldn't draft because of that. Build the team so someone can hopefully fall into the qb spot and be surrounded with elite talent.
