Your Draft: first three rounds.

[Direckshun]

Try to keep it relatively realistic.

What are your three picks. Assume that we have the #5 spot in the Draft, just to be conservative.

Feel free to explain your picks.

That said he is a great OLineman, but apparently his depression was bad enough to make him miss games this year.

Agreed, but a change of scenery could help a lot

It's rather entertaining to watch when one poster can't wait to bash another.

I always thought rule #1 was surrender all your picks for a running back from Texas.

Well, in that case, as a package deal...I offer the Chiefs OL Shawn Andrews and myself, PhillyChiefFan. So that I can get the hell out of this city too!

[Chiefnj2]

If Stafford is gone, I like the idea of trying to fall back to the 10 range.

At 10 I'd grab Spikes or Laurinaitis.

Top of the 2nd I'd take Brown the DE from FSU
Other 2nd round pick (From dropping to #10) I'll take the best QB available.
Top of the 3rd - the best OT or OG or C available. Probably a Loadholt/Boone/Luigs.

[RedThat]

Here's what I predict will happen:

-Chiefs lose 3 of their next 4 games. they dont win in Denver, SD beats them, Miami beats them, and maybe they might beat Cinci...If they lose out, I think they get the number 2 pick overall. which could happen? And there will be a great prospect in the wings at #2.

-So with that being said, there will be a team that will want to trade up with us. So the Chiefs will trade down to possibly 10th-15th range and they're gonna get a lot picks in return. So the Chiefs will stockpile on draft picks again.

And I predict by trading down, their gonna take either Rey Mauluga or Taylor Mays in the 1st. Then there gonna trade up from the early second to late 1st, and their take Brandon Spikes. And then I say they trade up again from early 3rd, to late 2nd and take Everette Brown.

So here goes it:

Chiefs 1st rd pick-LB Mauluga or S Mays
Chiefs late 1st rder(traded up)-LB Brandon Spikes
Chiefs late 2nd rder(traded up-DE Everette Brown

I'd be really surprised if, after the combines, Brown isn't a late first rounder.

The guy at DE has speed to burn.

In most cases, picking a safety that high would be absolutely moronic.

Taylor Mays, however is an exception.

[evolve27]

1)Sam Bradford
2)Brandon Spikes
3)Derrick Williams

MLB - Jonathan Vilma

Trade
KC 4th rd pick and LJ for PHI OL Shawn Andrews

What makes you think that the Eagles are going to trade away one of their good, young O-linemen for a 30+ RB when they already have Westbrook?

What are you talking about? I don't know enough about Mays and if he's good enough, but you're acting like it would be the first time a Safety has been drafted this high. The Redskins have taken both Sean Taylor and Leron Landry at #5 and #6, and they don't regret for a second taking them (barring, of course, the completely unexpected tragedy of Taylor's death). The Bills took Whitner at #8. If you have an all-world talent at safety, they are enormous difference makers.

I don't know that safety is nearly as high in our needs to justify the pick. But if Mays tests off the charts in the scouts' eyes, then it would be stupid to not consider the guy just because he's a safety. LBs and Safeties are two positions that are traditionally taken in the middle and late first, but there are plenty of exceptions where they cracked the top 10 and were well worth the pick.

He has a very good first step, but the frustrating thing is that he comes up empty against good competition.

So you would take 2 MLBs? In the first round at that.

And you are right about the Giants. I suppose I am just a defensive minded person, I like TFL and sacks.

Could we get a DE in free agency? I am not sure who is available, but it might be good to get a decent DE in FA, then I would be all for a QB in the first.

Alas, Mr. Ice, our debate is all for not. Because Detroit needs a QB like I need my liver.

But to counter that, keep in mind that the Giants have been loading up on DEs. Justin Tuck and Mattias Kiwanuka would start for the majority of teams in this league. That is a rare case of a team that is 4-deep in DEs. Keep in mind that the Giants had umenyiora and Strahan when they drafted Tuck and Kiwanuka. This is a team that had 3 outstanding DEs that decided to use a first round pick on Kiwanuka.

So I think using the Giants is a bad example because this is a team that is loaded at DE only because they used a lot of high picks on DEs. It's not a team that were lucky to have good enough backups to effectively replace Umenyiora and Strahan.
