Peter King: Herm will draft Matt Ryan to buy himself another year - Page 11

FloridaMan88 · 03-24-2008, 10:52 AM

I still doubt the Chiefs will take Ryan, but this is an interesting rationale for why they might and this is totally in line with the piece of garbage that Herm is.

Kansas City. Boston College QB Matt Ryan. Just a hunch, though they'll have trouble passing on Michigan offensive tackle Jake Long.

Strange thing here. At the combine, Carl Peterson told me the Chiefs loved Ryan, but there was no way they could take him because of their needs elsewhere. (Offensive line, I'm guessing.) Then they sent half the front office to his workout the other day at BC. Methinks Carl does not want to be the man to pass on the guy he thinks will be a franchise player. The other thing this does is buy coach Herman Edwards one more year of rebuilding. Even if the Chiefs go 5-11 this year, they couldn't whack Edwards until after they got a really good look at Ryan.

If Ryan is there you have to take him. Croyle is not the answer, and the Chiefs know it.

Now, Hasselbeck is hardley Elway or Marino, but wouldnt anyone here want a potential Hasselback for the next 10-12 years??

Matt Hasselbeck wasn't even "Matt Hasselbeck" until his 5th year in the league.

So now, you're looking at having a Hasselbeck-like QB for 5-7 years.

That's a huge investment for 5 years worth of above-average QB play.

My opinion also (for what it's worth)

Have you seen Brian Brohm's supporting cast? Have you seen the numbers he put up this year with a new coach and scheme? He didn't have nearly the number of breakdowns that Ryan did.

Does it seem odd how vocal KC is concerning Ryan? It just doesn't seem like they're going to pick him

Either you have faith in Herm or Kuharich or you don't. You can't have it both ways. Either they are going to hit on their picks or they they aren't.

I agree. But the Chiefs would be the team of all teams to pimp this kid, then end up taking him just to save face when he's actually there.

It's a good thing that the draft starts 3 hours later this year, because if we pass on Ellis or Dorsey for Matt ****ing Ryan a bottle of Jameson will be my best friend for the rest of the day.

I have faith. I just don't want to see them trade out of a position to draft an elite player unless they are absolutely RAPING the team they are trading with.

I just don't see anyone willing to give up what it would take (R2, and/or R3) to move up in this draft.

There was a LOT more talent in the Top 10-15 of last years draft, and there wasn't a single trade into/out of the Top 10.

good to know I'm not the only one.

Do we have to draft a QB every year now? What, are we trying to make up for all those years we passed on QBs? This is supposedly one of the best years to draft OL. Sounds like a no-brainer.

If you want a QB, pick up Quinn Gray and be done with it.

Sanka · 03-24-2008, 08:48 PM

F!CK MATT RYAN!

**KcMizzou** · 03-24-2008, 08:51 PM

The draft starts three hours later this year? I ask because that's when my company does inventory. It's mandatory that I be there. I've missed the start of the draft for the past several years, but still caught the Chief's pick. I assumed I'd miss it this time around.

What time does it start now? I never really paid attention before, since I knew I couldn't watch.

Except he's already been snagged by Houston, doh!
