Uh please no.
If a trade doesn't happen and it plays out like in the example, IMO Ellis or Ryan would be better picks as far as BPA. |

I see Gholston as a smaller, but stronger and more athletic Derrick Harvey.

Pay $22M for an untested rookie DE and trade away the established player who was asking for guaranteed money in the neighborhood of 30 million. Yep, that about makes sense for the Chiefs.

People are getting carried away with this.
What if Gholston is the BPA at 5? What if they were planning on picking him regardless of what happens with JA? People are so quick to say we're wasting a pick to "replace" Allen..... We don't NEED to replace Allen. We need the best players we can get regardless. If it happens to be a DE, so be it. |

I wish I was confident that this team would take the BPA, but I have a feeling whether Jared is on this team or not, we will be drafting for need, and that is Oline.

Clusters, BPA, I don't give a shit.
The point stands. People just need something to bitch about, and if we draft C. Long or Gholston, it's going to be because we needed to replace Allen, not because they were the best player for the team in the "cluster" that was available. |

What difference does it make? People are just hung up on replacing Allen. |

It's true I do like Gholston over C.Long. I would like to have Gholston, but if we keep JA, I will say what I have said all year, I would take Glenn Dorsey in a heartbeat. I would take Sed Ellis also if we keep JA. Chris Long isn't going to be there when we draft anyway so your point about me liking Gholston is moot. |

Ok, I have watched tape of Gholston, and I am left unimpressed. I do think he is a round 1 type of guy, but not at number 5 to us. If we trade JA to Minnesota, and get their pick. I would like to see us get either Dorsey or Ellis at 5 (I would like to get Chris Long but I think that he is going to be gone), and get Clady at 17. I don't think Clady is top 5 talent, but after looking more into the guy I think at 17 he could really help this team. This way we have studs on both sides of the line, and we all know if you have a great line on both sides you win ball games.
