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

[FloridaMan88]

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.

The bottom to this with me is I simply think Cromartie is better with a much higher ceiling and is a huge playmaker and I'd just simply rather have him.

I don't think anyone got excited about Jamie Duncan and Shelton Quarles. And the Colts corners are scheme suited but they've used first day picks on them....and Tampa paid Ronde Barber...

You are right, they aren't great LBs, but they played well in the system.

They did their job.

I think the Bucs paid Barber for his leadership as much as for his skills.

He is not some great corner who's could sign with the Chiefs and be a difference maker.

Hell, Champ Bailey is a "lockdown corner", but with a pretty pathetic front seven, he get's beat pretty consistently.

A couple of years ago, when the front four for the Donkeys was somewhat acceptable, and their LB core was pretty good, Bailey did play up to his hype.

That is true. I think it is the onset of Alzeheimers.

Nothing personal, but do you really think there's a single person on this site who doesn't know this?

In a cover 2 make an X on the defense - DTs, MLB and Safeties. A good front 7 make average corners look great. Surtain was a top corner, then he came to KC. Law was great with NE, made the Pro Bowl with the Jets, then came to KC.
