Chiefs Sooo.....NT? - Page 2

So we currently have a situational guy in Gordon, and a late round 2nd year player with 7 snaps of experience.

I know people are thinking NT in the 1st few rounds, but can we really go into the season with so little experience at the position?

Don't know if Franklin would come at a reasonable price, or who else is out there, but I really feel like we need to get a veteran for the position.

Brodrick Bunkley, Marcus Thomas or Derek Landri.
All the other available NT's are stop-gap situations like Gregg was last year.

I feel we need a stop gap... draft our NT in round 2. Hes our future.

Personally, I think the most likely candidate which fits the Pioli mold for the NT position will be Josh Chapman in the draft.

Are any of those guys going to fit Crennel's 3-4?

And I think stop gap is what we should be looking at at this point. The only NT worthy of long term consideration was Soliai, who's a Dolphin again. Get a stop gap veteran, draft a NT, and let them battle it out with Powe in the preseason.

Only as a cheap sign. Guy is 33 and couldn't even start on a poor New Orleans defense last year. Additionally there's usually only 2 slots active at NT.

Give me Chapman in the third round.

And you're fine with a rookie and Powe as our only options?

I'd be fine with it considering that all the other FA rock solid candidates are gone. Especially with Chapman due to he's from the "tree" tough as nails and knows his role in the defense while being very solid at the POA.

Fletcher Cox
Still
Brandon Thompson

Drop back, pick up another pick and grab one of these guys.

Or trade the 1st for a RFA like M Wallace and draft one in the second - should be a few quality DT's left.

Dorsey.

Never understood Kiper's pick to us as Devon Still. Doesn't seem to fit the mold. Who knows though, not me.

O.city · 03-17-2012, 08:22 PM

Thing with Chapman is that he shouldn't take much time to figure it out. He played the exact role for four years in college for a defensive genious.

**Shogun** · 03-17-2012, 08:23 PM

I really liked Amon last year
