Chiefs DeCastro anyone? - Page 9

tredadda · 03-17-2012, 08:31 PM

Now that we have our RT and missed out on the RGIII and Luck sweepstakes, how would people feel about drafting David DeCastro? The way I see it is unless we trade our first this year to someone for their first next year (assuming there is someone willing to do this) who else could we really use at #11? To me

1. Richardson will most likely be gone

2. Tannehill is a horrible idea at #11 assuming he is even there.

3. There are no NTs worth a #11 pick.

Why not get an elite guard and have a young monstrous O-Line with Albert-DeCastro-Hudson-Asamoah-Winston?

I am usually against the thought of drafting O-line in the first, but we are in a spot talent wise where he would be a great pickup since we will miss out on QB (clearly our biggest flaw) this year.

This is where we will continue to disagree, and that's cool.

My top choice would be the Dolphins scooping up Flynn (which prob. will happen) and some team getting desperate enough to move up ahead of the Seahawks to nab Tannehill that the Chiefs get a sweetheart deal to move down.

I'd rather move down and scoop up more picks to improve the dreadful depth at certain spots (or future picks) and nab someone like Hightower or Barron.

If the Chiefs are locked in selecting at 11, I don't know if I'd make a head scratching decision like Kuechly or Poe to avoid not taking a guard because of value. Making an awful pick because you want good value seems to trump drafting a guard in the top 15 for stupid drafting.

Will Shields was with the team before and after Roaf.

Guard is not a difference maker.

Yeah the loss in production on offense had nothing to do w/ Trent Green going down and playing with Huard most of the season. Did you forget about that? That's kinda major ya know.

The only player I hope we don't take at the moment is Poe.

Everyone else... eh. All the players have good things about them. I can see us doing anything, and that would make me pretty happy

i like Poe more than Kuchely because I think when you take a defensive player that high he has to be physically a freak. Defense is just too physical and Kuch gets pushed off the ball a lot.

I'd want a passrusher. You can never get enough of them.

Lol.

Kuechly gets pushed off the ball a lot?

Have you SEEN Poe in a college game? He's ****ing awful.

Brock Lesnar had elite physical measurables too. He didn't make it to the first round of cuts in the Vikings training camp.

Maybe Poe should go into MMA.

Our best hope is that Tanehill drops to our pick after Miami signs Flynn.

Either we take him, or somebody wants to give up a haul to move up in front of Seattle to take him.

I think either Tanehill or Richardson make it to 11 and somebody will be willing to move up to take one of them.

Slide back 6-10 picks and take bpa while adding another second or a future first would be best for this team.

I think Polio will trade down. That's how his papa BB does it. The question is, will there be anyone willing to trade up?

I'm not an expert when it comes to these players but I have been listening to many people who think they are both going to be studs in the NFL. I don't see anything wrong with picking guys up in the first round that are going to be major impact players for your team, regardless of position.

Take the BPA. If it's DeCastro so be it. If it's Richardson, okay. Pioli has said his priority this year is to fix the OL. Winston is a nice start. Lilja is at the end of his career. There's no depth at OT, G or C. We need a NT but Poe scares me. I'm fine with DeCastro at 11.

You don't turn your back on any position other than kicker/punter. Draft the best player. Not every first round pick is going to be Calvin Johnson. Get a starter, hopefully a pro bowler, but a solid, consistent starter, if nothing else.

You sound like you know what you are talking about. But please stop using "Pro Bowls" as a status symbol for reward.

They start voting for them at week 8, voting ends before the season does and any 12 year-old with an internet connection can vote.

So can we ALL just stop this madness! It's nothing short of a popularity contest by a majority of people who don't really know football.

Well that's just to easy peezy common sense for this place.

No whining or name calling comes from this solution.

Decastro would be our goal had we not signed Winston. Now we go after Tannehill or Trich
