Any chance we draft Jarrett or Smardzija? - Page 3

With the first pick?

I know we have a ton of holes, but a WR to replace Parker seems like the most glaring.

I really really want that kid Steve Smith...almost more than Jarret. Jarret overshadows Smith so maybe we can steal him late second round or third or something. I think he'd be a great receiver for the Chiefs.

Maybe not.

But we might get someone who doesn't tear his labia every ****in' time he steps onto the field.

And for the record, I'm not actually proposing we draft a RB in the first round, but if there's a RB there and he is clearly head and shoulders better than everyone else sitting on the board, then we either have to take him, or trade down to a team that wants that player.

Perhaps

I agree, semantics.

But improving depth is exactly what I was talking about, though I was thinking of DE when I said it.

I think the more immediate need is the "O" line. JMHO

I'm all for the "best player available" philosophy, or trading down. I was just pointing out that there isn't a real, tangible "upgrade" at RB that we could draft when there are much bigger, more glaring holes to fill.

And drafting for need is one of the reasons this team has been spinning it's wheels in mediocrity for so long.

Imagine how bad this team would be if we had drafted for need instead of drafting LJ.

We're really pretty much on the same page.

I am being a bit over the top, to illustrate how important I feel drafting the best player available philosophy is.

Silock · 01-03-2007, 10:57 PM

It's a good philosophy, but hopefully, we can have another draft like this year's where half the picks come in and have an immediate impact.

Ok, but at some point we are going to have to address the gaping hole in the "O" Line left by Roaf, and waiting on some other team to let lose of a quality "O" Lineman through free agency doesn't leave us in very good shape either. IMO

I fully understand that, and agree with that.

However, we can not simply take an OT with our pick if that player isn't worth that pick.

We've been picking for need for years, and we've never benefitted from that.

In the meantime, the Pats have just taken the best player, and they've enjoyed some measure of success.

Well just once or twice.

Herm said about this years draft that you take the most talent that's on the board. So I wouldn't be surprised if we get a WR

wutamess · 01-04-2007, 01:19 AM

Well, DT is our most immediate need.
That's the key to our cover 2 to work successfully.

If we can sure up the defense to be dominate like the Bears (pre-injuries) or the Ravens... we have the O to do well also (even with the most worthless WR (Parker) in football).

We get a stunning defense (with some great DT's) we'd be well on our way.

Young Ends, Safeties, we have about 1-2 more years out of our CB's. Basically what I'm saying is... take Green out and insert Huard and we're good on O. Black will only get better.

I agree with DTs.

I would be open to drafting one, however, if all the top ranked DT guys are gone by the time we pick, I say go WR. Even OL would be good too.

Shields might retire? A nice offensive tackle would be nice.

*A big priority should be to re-sign Huard. I like Gonzo, and Kennsion they are consistent and put up decent numbers every year, but I would LOVE to see a WR that can bring big playmaking ability to KC and compliment those guys. We've never had that. Not for a while at least...lol
