I'm not desperate to get rid of LJ. I just think it makes sense. I think he is going to be a real talent in the NFL. BUT, not here! When he was drafted in April of 2003, RB was a real concern with the Chiefs. Holmes was a major question mark. In fact, Holmes was still a question mark entering training camp. That is why CP wouldn't fork over the cash until he proved he was OK. Now, Holmes will be the man around here for the next 5 years or so (You don't think they paid him all that cash to back up Johnson do you?). DV doesn't do RBbC (Thank God), so there is no real need for LJ. LJ was a real need in April 2003. He isn't today. |

As far a Lavalais being around in the 2nd round, who knows. He only weighs in at 290, which isn't huge for a DT. If he isn't, maybe MCneil from Auburn will be.

In fact, here is a 7 round computer generated mock draft that has Lavlalis going in the 6th round. A trade with the Steelers for LJ would net us both Evans and Losman by this mock. I could live with that...

If Vermiel leaves at the end of the season, our most pressing need will be head coach...
Otherwise- lots of corners and wide-receivers, and a linebacker or two ought to do us good.

If that's the case I'd prefer to take the best DE out there....A TRUE pass rushing moster on the outside...

IMO we need to move Ryan Sims over to DT and get a big mountain at NT.

Upon further review, I think more affordable nachos and cheaper (but still quality) beer would be a more pressing issue than the cheerleaders.

However, we need not forget that Morten Anderson will most likely retire should we succeed to the Super Bowl, so we will definately need a placekicker as well.

You want one of those sign Bobby Taylor in the offseason. He's the real deal. Then draft a STUD pass rusher. The reason this defense isn't great (besides GROB) is that we don't have one true STUD on defense. Where's our DT? Where's our Ronnie Lott, our Neil Smith, our Reggie White, our Michael Strayhan, our Ray Lewis? We don't have one. We've got a lot of good players, but no GREAT player....

Sims has shown potential, but is rather lopsided on using his full talents. We have a small nucleus of young and very, very promising guys on the Defense. I agree we need a stud DE, but I think stealing a couple of speedy, highly talented defensive backs could do wonders as well. I think Fujita, Kawika, Wilkerson, Truluck, and Sims will all mature and become very, very good ball players in the long run....Notice, none of these guys are defensive backs- therefore, that is why I suggest stealing a couple of DB's out of the draft.
