The Star's top 10: The best player in draft for Chiefs needs
The Star’s Top 10: The best players in draft for Chiefs’ needs Order Reprints January 23 As the Chiefs prepare to make the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft for the first time in franchise history, we’ve made our own draft board. Adam Teicher, The Star’s Chiefs reporter, has ranked the top 10 available players who fit the Chiefs’ most pressing needs. Not all are worthy of the No. 1 pick — the Chiefs may decide to trade down — but all are worth keeping an eye on before the draft starts April 25. • 1. Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia: Chiefs have two Pro Bowlers at this position, so technically outside linebacker is not a need. But Tamba Hali will be 30 next season and it’s difficult to turn down a pass rusher. • 2. Damontre Moore, OLB, Texas A&M: The same holds for Moore. • 3. Luke Joeckel, T, Texas A&M: The Chiefs will need a left tackle if Branden Albert becomes a free agent. • 4. Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia: Smith probably isn’t worthy of being the top pick, but the Chiefs have to solve their QB dilemma somehow. • 5. Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama: After the fiasco with Stanford Routt, the Chiefs need a corner and Milliner is the best available. • 6. Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee: Again, not worth the top pick. But a fast, 6-3 receiver will be difficult for the Chiefs to pass up. • 7. Chance Warmack, G, Alabama: Guards aren’t valuable enough to pick with the top overall choice. But Warmack has a chance to be great. • 8. Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah: The Chiefs will need a lineman if they lose Glenn Dorsey to free agency. • 9. Mike Glennon, QB, North Carolina State: He makes sense for the Chiefs if they believe he can eventually become a franchise quarterback. • 10. Alec Ogletree, ILB, Georgia: Inside linebackers aren’t that valuable, but the Chiefs need one to go along with Derrick Johnson. Read more here: http://www.kansascity.com/2013/01/23...#storylink=cpy |

The Star has got to sell newspapers somehow, some way, any way possible.

Like I said this morning, a non pass rushing DT at 1 overall is dumb, a pass rushing OLB with severe medical issues is worse.

OLB would be a good pick. Except that qb is so critical of a pick and the first round is the only place to find a good one.but just because you have two pro bowlers doesn't make it any less of a need. The giants have been drafting DEs I. The first round for years even when they've had pass rushers.

I think Ogletree will run up the board. Nobody wants to take an MLB that high, but if we move down he might be a good choice. Some leadership to anchor the defense in the middle is something every team needs to get back to respectability and playoff contention.

The first five spots should be QB as that is our biggest need. By far.
As an aside since I saw his name I wouldn't mind one bit seeing Cordarrelle Patterson in a Chiefs uniform. Not possible while getting a QB too I am just musing. |
