NFL Draft Countdown seems to think we need a CB as well... - Page 3

1) Cornerback
Improvement was made but they still need another top corner.

2) Defensive Tackle
This team lacks a difference maker on the interior.

3) Wide Receiver
Eddie Kennison is getting older and they don't have a true #1.

If Battle improved as much as Kawika, and he hasn't taken a step back because of injury, then I think he might just be ready to compete for that #2 spot.

Good point.

Sampson-blows his feet and hands are horrid and black is a gaurd w/ only slightly more talent at the OT than sampson.

it comes down to draft for depth-(i dont agree w/ most of the time w/ a 1-1) vs. draft for a starter who can contribute now.

Draft a CB and move warfield to safety?

I would prefer to draft a safety and have one guy learning a new position, than draft a CB and have 2 guys learning new positions.

That is a good point. That would be amazing if Battle improved as much as KM. I'm still a little suspicious because I fell for the whole camp talk of Kris Wilson. Which makes me wonder what will happen with Kris Wilson. He was Al's trick pony, no?

Part of the issue with Wilson last season was Roaf getting hurt. When Roaf went down, we had to change all of our sets to help block. It hurt Gonzo because he was forced to block instead of going out for passes, and hurt Wilson because it forced us to abandon the sets that used him.

Yet another reason to get a bona-fide OT w/ KCs 1-1. the max protect hurt KC in key situations last year.

In an interview with Solari, or the announcement of his promotion, it was stated that he didn't work on teaching technique to the O-Lineman, which I assume was a responsibilty that fell to Irv Eatman.

Maybe with Matsko, we'll have a better teacher, who can develop Black, Sampson, Parquet, etc.

In this draft, unless an OT is sitting there that we absolutely can't pass up, we need to focus on defense.

Of course, I feel like I'm repeating the same thing from the last five years.

That brings us back to what MOhillbilly was saying about needing to draft a OT to replace Roaf. I wonder which way the Chiefs are leaning with their first pick? DE, DT, OT, CB, or S. They will probably have to take who ever is rated highest at their position in our area of need, but I wonder what postion they hope falls to 20.

Here is a list:

Tripplett
plus that huge run stuffer from the Ravens (can't spell his name).
and the ones MO stated.

MOhillbilly · 02-21-2006, 10:40 AM

give him a three-four year deal.

I'd really be surprised if Bernard hits the open market, but he would be a candidate if he did.

I don't like the idea of signing a player like Jackson, who has never really reached his full potential, and is on the the downside of his career.

Triplett is depth type player only.
He's not a guy that's going to make an impact.

I do find Kemoeatu intriguing, but you can never be sure what you're getting when signing another team's second stringer.

I was equally as intrigued by Dalton when he was a Ravens' second stringer hitting the open market.

If you want the biggest bang for your buck and are thinking BAA in the first round, it could be an OLB to replace Bell. You've got Hawk, Greenway and Ryans. Not the biggest need, but one of those three could be the best value at the 20 pick.
