They say top 5 is shaping up to this:

1) Luck
2) RG3
3)Claiborne
4) Richardson
5)Kuechly

Also, Mark Barron is getting a ton of play. The Chargers and Cowboys are both interested in trading up to get him. The Bills are supposed to be real interested in taking him at 10.

Kalil just might fall to the Chiefs pick! I think that would be a no brainer in my mind.

I didn't get on the Stanzi wagon until very late in the draft season, and even then I wouldn't have been happy with him in the 2nd.

Which sounds awfully reminiscent of Tannehill this offseason.

(I was maybe being too subtle).

So in that light, yes, if Tannehill's on the board at 11, I would do my god-damnest to trade out of the position, for nothing less than a 2013 first rounder, and use whatever it takes next year to move up into the position to take the next Luck/RGIII. That to me is much more appealing than setting for Tannehill because he's the best we can do this year amongst the also-ran's.

Ain't gonna happen, but a guy can dream.

he's a a 5th round pick that people keep trying to claim was a 1st rounder...

I had him graded out as a second rounder.

You should have used Ryan Mallett instead of Ricky Stanzi. Half this board STILL thinks the sun shines out of his asshole. They would have gladly spent our 1st rounder on him last year.

Yeah, but we didn't draft Mallett.

We're not going to draft Tannehill, either.

If the Chiefs take Tannehill that gives Pioli 3 years of job security.

I would tend to agree with you.

I think it's DeCastro, which I'm going to like even less than Tannehill. And you know how much I like Tannehill.

I think he'll get three years either way, but good point.

I'm a Branden Albert fan. But if Kalil projects to be good or better, and he's the BPA at the time, then absolutely draft him. If Kalil becomes a good NFL player, it gives you enormous flexibility. You can move Albert to Guard, trade him, or if you cut him you save the $100M contract you'd have to pay him to stay. In which case, you can use that $100M on another player who can help you.

People are so close-minded to think just because we have a starter at the position, we're good.

(I haven't followed the prospects. So it's possible Kalil just isn't any good. I have no idea).

saphojunkie · 04-25-2012, 02:16 PM

I think we're all just kidding ourselves if we think it's anything other than Brockers or Poe. It sucks, but reality is setting in.

All of these brilliant ideas. All of these master plans.

They're all just poop on the street now.

How long has it been that fans have wanted BPA regardless of position to be our draft strategy?

We've got good-to-great level starters at every position now except QB. If Kalil fell, he would absolutely be the BPA. But it's funny that so many people would say no to him just because he's a tackle.

This isn't Russell Okung or Bryan Bulaga we're talking about. This is a man who was BORN to play on our offensive line in this system.

Chiefnj2 · 04-25-2012, 02:29 PM

I'd rather not talk about the first round of the draft until 2015 and have Robert Griffin.
