Survey of Draft Websites: Chiefs will pick...
Matthew Stafford, QB, Georgia
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft0...odd&id=3803148 Brian Orakpo, DE, Texas http://www.draftseason.com/lupagus-nfl-mock-draft Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma http://www.walterfootball.com/draft2009.php Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma http://newnfldraft.com/ Aaron Curry, OLB Wake Forest http://www.draftcountdown.com/sub/Mock-Draft-A.php Brian Orakpo, DE, Texas http://www.footballsfuture.com/2009/nflmockdraft.html James Laurinaitis, LB, Ohio State http://bleacherreport.com/articles/7...raft-round-one This site compiles draft 'experts' picks. Out of the top 25, only 3 have Bradford falling to the Chiefs at #3 while 9 have Matt Stafford falling to the 3rd overrall (!) and 3 have Orakpo and 3 have Curry being selected as the 3rd overall pick. Just 12 of 25 project a QB to be selected as the 3rd overall (assuming most realize KC has the #3 pick). 10 of the 25 have defensive players being selected #3. The rationale provided by many of the draft websites is that the Chiefs should continue to develop Tyler Thigpen and draft to address the NFL's worst _efense which set an NFL record for fewest sacks in league history. Of course the X factor is the new GM, but I thought it was interesting that Sam Bradford was not a slam dunk for most draft web sites, and fewer than 50% see Kansas City drafting a QB at all.

That is the smartest thing about the draft ever posted on this site.
![]() The Chiefs had horrific drafts during the Gun and DV years due to poor scouting, and then relying on that poor scouting to draft a player of dire need. So instead of wisely using FA to fill true needs and using the draft to stockpile talent, they've whiffed in FA and over-reached in the draft. It's drafting based on desperation -- even fear -- and it's been an absolute failure. Granted, one still doesn't spend a high pick on a position if one already has the position filled with a truly talented player. But one should always be looking to upgrade any position when the chance comes, and that's something the Chiefs simply haven't been able to do. I guess that's what happens when your GM thinks the draft is a "crapshoot," rather than, you know, an essential way to stock your roster. MM ~~ ![]()

Only if you think a Stafford or Sanchez are BPA. If you think a DE or LB is the BPA, it makes perfect sense.

I think Crabtree will drop quite a bit when he runs a 4.55

If we get Pioli, he's not a BPA guy. It's more of a coach-centered approach. Can the guy fit into the system that the coach runs?

I think it's a good philosophy, but I doubt most on here will agree who tend to downplay the role of coaching in success.

As much as I hope you are right, I have a really bad feeling that Herm will be here. Clark will get the new GM to keep him one more year. Pure speculation on my part.....I hope I am wrong.
