NFL Draft Would you support drafting McClain? - Page 5

'Hamas' Jenkins · 04-19-2010, 11:50 AM

If the Chiefs pass on Berry and Clausen, do you find that selection defensible if the Chiefs draft McClain at #5, or trade down to #7 to make that pick, perhaps acquiring a third in the process?

LOL Id like to see Haleys reaction the first time Dez shows up to a game 45 minutes before kickoff after just waking up.

there is no way that guy is on our board

What does the "Yes, but only with an extra 3rd" option mean?

1. I would support taking McClain in the 3rd round?

2. We get an extra 3rd from trading down and use that 3rd on McClain.

This has a lot to do with my opinion.

I think we would be idiotic to pass on McClain if he is available in the 3rd.

You know what..McClain is full of crap...

"My Crohn's was actin up"

But now he supposedly doesn't have it, really then what do you have?

chiefzilla1501 · 04-19-2010, 04:30 PM

Absolutely not.

If you're trading down and not getting Berry or Clausen, you had better be getting either a pass rusher, better be completely convinced that a guy like Earl Thomas can get you the same kind of Berry production or at least comparable, and most importantly, you better be compensated well.

Nothing short of a 2nd round pick would do if you're downgrading from Berry to McClain. For me, I don't want to move unless a 2nd round pick PLUS another competitive pick was on the table.

Certainly not at five, and I have a hard time envisioning a realistic trade down scenario that I would be happy with.

I think the 3-4 OLB position is easily the second-most important position on defense. If the Chiefs really, really, really like Kindle, Graham, or Hughes and see his value toward the middle of the first, that's a trade down I can deal with. But if you're moving down to take a safe, low risk, medium return pick at a lower-impact position, it's completely stupid.

I'd rather trade down into the teens and take Weatherspoon.

bh13 · 04-19-2010, 05:46 PM

At #5? No.

The only players I'd like at #5 are Berry, Clausen and Suh if he's somehow there. If they want anyone else, trade down. I wouldn't be thrilled with it, but it would still be better than staying at #5 and taking someone like McClain, Williams or Bulaga.

**BigMeatballDave** · 04-19-2010, 05:47 PM

Not at 5 or 7.

**Ming the Merciless** · 04-19-2010, 05:49 PM

maybe if we get the niners 13th it would be cool. If he would be there at 13.

I would like them to trade down and draft him, but just him at five is 'acceptable'..... the kid, to me, is every bit the stud that Berry is. I don't think they do that, but I would be 'okay' with it. I prefer Berry, because I think it is a bigger 'need'.
