Half of you were saying LT.

Is that still true?

Dline?

Since Albert is such a wonderful road grader type he would make such a great RT.

I haven't read through all the replies here but it has to be safety. Even Shannon Sharpe said today "Mike Brown, touchdown......Mike Brown, touchdown....there is a pattern here."

And it's true. Every long play I can remember this year was due to Mike Brown getting abused somehow.

Every single one of the big plays this year was bc of a missed tackle by Brown or getting flat out beat.

I think with this fan base the Chiefs could literally draft a lineman first every year and people would call it great.

I don't understand why people desire to rebuild a team that never won anything.

The biggest impact player they can get ... i'm not picky about the position.

he better bring IMPACT to the game though!!

i'll leave now this thread now so the Berry cumfest(that i'm sure is happening) can continue.

I went back and read it. And I find myself agreeing with Mecca again many times on the same day. I expect the apocalypse any minute.

You flat out do not need to take offensive linemen early to build a good line. Second, we flat out HAVE to address the line in free agency. I don't really want to address the line through the draft until after the 1st round.

Mike Brown is killing the defense all by himself. Morgan didn't embarrass himself today and I'm interested to see if his play improves throughout the season.

Exactly. I can think of two games we lost due to Brown all by himself.

I don't know how you couldn't be optimistic about Morgan's play today. He didn't have any Ed Reed-type plays, but he did his job, and did it well.

Give the guy time to mature (he's got loads of raw talent) and you may end up with a hell of a player.

Because, in spite of the fact that this team hasn't won a damn thing since before Nixon was impeached, they think that the 90s and the years under Dick were some special years.

The fact is, they were mediocre teams with outstanding O-lines, but when it came time to play with the big boys, the big boys great playmakers and we had great O-Lines.

Great O-Lines win a lot of games.

Great playmakers win championships.

Mecca · 11-08-2009, 07:53 PM

Which means I fully expect Morgan to be sitting on the bench next week while McGraw and Brown play.

You can get any postion at any point in the draft. Look at Colston undrafted WR. The farther down the draft the high chance of getting a miss. We need on LT that can play from day 1 not grow into the position.

LT for reasons already stated is the only choice to make.

This post reminds me of the Chiefs/Dallas Thanksgiving game where they showed Marty saying his team was deeper yadda yadda then the Cowboys playmakers proceeded to whip our asses.

Colston was a 7th rounder.

We don't need to take a left tackle. OMG that would be epic failure. Albert will be fine. He's having a rough year this year. He'll be fine. Jake long is struggling as did Joe Thomas his 2nd year. It's not uncommon.

People thinking we need to take a left tackle in the first round need to take the bag off of their head.

Not to mention there isn't an elite LT prospect...Russell Okung really? Anyone that watches him and thinks he's an elite prospect well I don't know what they're looking at.
