Draft the best player on the board!!

**FRCDFED** · 03-19-2005, 03:03 PM

With all the talk about trading our 1st rounder to pick up additional picks I wanted to remind everyone that by drafting higher in round 1 you increase your chances to get a playmaker! Notice I said "increase" and not that it is guaranteed.

We also do not want to include Wesley in a trade for Surtain if it is avoidable. Wesley will beat out Woods for the FS position. I do want Surtain but at the cheapest cost.

With our 1st round pick we need to take the BEST PLAYER ON THE BOARD!! Regardless of position! This draft strategy will allow us to have a playmaker versus the 2nd or 3rd best available position player who we can all sit around on here after three years and bitch about.

We are very critical of Carls draft history but when you look at the good players picked up in the draft (ie TG, LJ) you will notice he selected those who were arguably the best at their position in college and had a solid season leading up to the draft. Now there will be those anomolies such as Simms but Simms didn't come on strong until his senior season and was playing along side Peppers so he should have been considered a risk.

You make it sound like we're the Patriots and can afford to sit around and let the best athlete fall to us. This team has very specific needs, those being linebacker, corner, and defensive end. If we draft a guard, I'll burn all of my Chiefs stuff.

Oh, Carl traded up to get Gonzalez, btw.

Opinions vary about who is the best player at positions of need.

Some here think that Rolle is the best CB in this draft. Others claim that it's PacMan Jones. And then's there's the people in the Carlos Rogers camp.
Finally, there's a small group that back Marlin Jackson.

Unless we are sitting there at 15 with Derek Johnson in our sights, I believe that trading down is a very viable option.

One of those 4 will still be there later in the round, and it might give us the opportunity to select a good OLB in the 2nd.

I'm officially pimping Marlin Jackson and Daryl Blackstock.

one of johnson, rolle, rogers, and jones should be there when we pick at 15. if we trade down, all four will be gone. also, marlin jackson is probably going to end up being a fs in the nfl. we've got enough safeties. blackstock or robert mccune in the 2nd would be fine with me.

I hope they get the best available player also.

I would rather have a playmaker on Offense than an average player on Defense that we drafted just because we had a need. If the defensive palyer is ranked as high as the player on offense than the Chiefs should pick defense.

Pimping Rolle and Pollack. Roth, if we trade down.

I agree, but I don't think we'd draft a RB,TE,C or G with the 15th pick.

A couple of weeks ago I saw a mock that had one of the top 2 QB's dropping to us. So.....You think drafting a QB THIS year with our 1st pick is a good idea if he was the BAP?

I think that was before their workout. Both have moved up the charts.

BoroChief · 03-19-2005, 07:13 PM

Riding shotgun on the Daryl Blackstock Bandwagon if he's available to us in the draft.

I didn't think either one of them would fall to us before. The point IS he said draft the BAP period. So the question was, you would take any position? I agree with BEST defensive player available. Some may be against more DL players but we still can't stop the run....

Draft the Best Defensiv Player available.

Chiefs Pantalones · 03-19-2005, 07:33 PM

I'm scared to see who the Chiefs think is the best player available when they pick. The Chiefs have one of the worst scouting departments in the NFL.
