Next year's draft

[58-4ever]

1. DT
2. OT
3. WR
4. MLB

[CupidStunt]

DT, OT, LB (either/or), CB, WR, OG/C.

[ChiefsCountry]

Offensive tackle is more important than DT.

[Mr. Laz]

DT,OT,DT,OT,DT,OT,DT

[Mecca]

To bad it's a weak DT year........this team has to many holes all over the place to just be looking for certain positions, we could literally draft almost any position and get an immediate starter.

[Thig Lyfe]

Lose the remaining three and trade way up to get Joe Thomas out of Wisconsin.

[|Zach|]

When you look at this team across the board I have no idea why you would even entertain the idea of another MLB.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Alan Branch anyone?

[milkman]

Best player available, regardless of position.

[Mecca]

When you look at this team across the board I have no idea why you would even entertain the idea of another MLB.

Just because he doesn't suck as bad as some of the other guys doesn't mean he's not a problem....

[Fairplay]

We need to try to pick a WR and tackles (both sides in the off season).

Then draft OT,OT,DT,OT,DT,OT.

[Mr. Laz]

When you look at this team across the board I have no idea why you would even entertain the idea of another MLB.
maybe cause Mitchell is a free agent and they haven't sign him to extension yet.

besides he's decent ... but nothing particular special.

[CtrlAltDel]

Best player available, regardless of position.Agreed. Aside from like, RB or DE.

[ChiefsCountry]

A stud DT would make Mitchell look alot better.

[MIAdragon]

The comments during the game about possibility of Trent hanging it up with another concussion worries me. Is Croyle the answer, or do we need to look at the QB’s in the draft?

[CupidStunt]

Alan Branch anyone?

He'll be long gone.

That's why I hate the Chiefs. Mediocrity is worse than sucking.

[el borracho]

OT

[Mr. Laz]

yes it would


but until we have one, we don't know how good Mitchell is

[Mecca]

He'll be long gone.

That's why I hate the Chiefs. Mediocrity is worse than sucking.

The Chiefs good enough to not get a great draft pick, bad enough to miss the playoffs...The Carl mantra.

[Rain Man]

Perhaps running would make Mitchell look better, too. Did anyone else throw the remote at the screen when the replay showed Ka-Weak-a jogging toward the quarterback unblocked on a blitz? What a loser.

Thank God Im not the only one who thought that.

[Mecca]

Hrm I see some more people are starting to agree with me about letting Mitchell go.

[StcChief]

Look at Fujita now with Saints.

[ROYC75]

Lose the remaining three and trade way up to get Joe Thomas out of Wisconsin.


BINGO ..... that would anchor the LT spot.
:)

[Mecca]

We need a hell of alot more than just a LT.

[KCLJ27]

I predict another middle of the round draft choice. Go King Carl Go woo hoo

[milkman]

We need a hell of alot more than just a LT.

Absolutely.

Name a position, and there's almost certainly a need to upgrade, with only a couple of exceptions.

[ROYC75]

DT is probally our biggest priority. FTR, Thomas is a pipe dream for us.

[Mecca]

A good DT in this years draft is a pipe dream too.....the best players on the board when we pick are probably going to be WR's, Safeties and LB's.

[CtrlAltDel]

We should move the draft forum back in here now. Too early for that?

[Mr. Laz]

How about when Jamal Lewis was carrying 4 defenders on his back and Patrick Surtain was standing there afraid to stick his nose in there.


or


when Sammy knight covered the TE coming out to the flat perfectly and then just backed off and let him go. McNair just waited until Knight left and then passed to the TE for a 1st down.

[58-4ever]

what about drafting Troy Simth - a predicted mid-round draft pick. It could be a Roethisberger situation?

[Mecca]

Troy Smith is probably going in the 2nd round....I'm not a big fan of him as a pro prospect. He's short and for his college career the set of talent he's played with has been better than all the teams they've faced.......good luck finding that in the pros.

[LiL stumppy]

I disagree with drafting the best player available. You draft to feel holes and make your team better. Not the best player AVAILABLE, the best player available at that positions your need.

[ChiefsCountry]

Why would you draft the best play available?Thats stupid. You draft to feel holes and make your team better. Not the best player AVAILABLE, the best play available at that positions your need.

No you draft to make your football team better for the future. Filling holes is free agency's job.

[LiL stumppy]

So your saying the best player on the board is a RB. You draft him considering how young LJ is? He would sit on the bend for years and his career would be short. Even at DE, you draft one. The most you could do with him is rotate him in.

Yep.

[LiL stumppy]

LOL thats stupid IMO.

[Mecca]

With the amount of carries LJ is getting we're gonna need a new RB in about 2 years........

Taking players for need is why the Chiefs have had such awful drafts.......

[Mecca]

LOL thats stupid IMO.

As stupid as going in saying "we have to have this" and reaching way above where a guy should go? Ask Junior Siavii.....and the numerous other Chief reaches to fill a position.

[ChiefsCountry]

LOL thats stupid IMO.

Why? You have trade bait and get a best player on the board at the time.

[dirk digler]

We need OL and DL help big time. We also need some WR's to replace Parker

[LiL stumppy]

First of all, if you draft another RB in the first round that splits carries with LJ. Someone is bound to get pissed off and throw fits, which is not what an organization needs. How would that make you feel if you were him. Basically leading the offence, and your coaches drafting another player to split carries with you? How often do you see first round draft picks getting traded their first year? Rarley does that happen.

You mean like....how we drafted LJ when we had Holmes and LJ was the pissed off one and not Holmes? If you look around the league a ton of teams are using 2 RB's now......actually most of the successful running teams are splitting RB's these days.

Like I said.....With the amount of carries Johnson is getting history says his career will be very short.

hmmm sounds like what we did with LJ a few years back.....

Damn Mecca didnt read your post first.

[LiL stumppy]

Who on the chargers splits carries with LT? Who on the Seahawks splits carries with Shaun Alexander. And im not talking their backup RB's that get 5 carries a games.

[dirk digler]

Drafting a RB next year in the 1st round is stupid considering how many holes we have on this team. We need to collect draft picks and get as many players as we can

[Mecca]

Who on the chargers splits carries with LT? Who on the Seahawks splits carries with Shaun Alexander. And im not talking their backup RB's that get 5 carries a games.

The Chargers also don't give LT 35 carries a game........

Take a look at New England, Dallas, Chicago.......teams that want to run the ball alot and run it well are using 2 RB's.

[Mr. Laz]

Bad talent evaluation is what got the Chiefs such awful drafts in the past.

[ChiefsCountry]

Michael Turner gets quite a few carries with SD.

[LiL stumppy]

Last week LT ran the ball 28 times, and I forgot how many receptions he had. Were running the ball fine with LJ. I agree he gets it way to much. But he has only been "playing" for a year.

[Mecca]

This arguement isn't going to come to fruition anyway there's 3-4 first round RB's and they'll either be gone or not the best player when the Chiefs are drafting.

[dirk digler]

Who gives a shit about the RB position that is why we have Bennett. We need OL and DT help bad

[Mecca]

Every RB that's carried over 400 times has never been the same afterwards.......LJ has about 100 more carries than LT does.....

[Mecca]

Yea and we're gonna be picking about 18th which means for those postions we're SOL. All the good ones are gonna be gone.......WR here we come.

[ChiefsCountry]

We know, but if there was a top-flight running back there when we picked or a so-so tackle, who should we choose?

[LiL stumppy]

I don't know if I have ever seen Michael Turner get over 10 carries in a game unless LT was hurt or he was in for mop-up duties.

[dirk digler]

Yea and we're gonna be picking about 18th which means for those postions we're SOL. All the good ones are gonna be gone.......WR here we come.

I have no problem with getting a WR there as that is also a need position. Drafting a RB next year in the 1st round is stupid though.

[dirk digler]

We know, but if there was a top-flight running back there when we picked or a so-so tackle, who should we choose?

Trade down

[Mecca]

We know, but if there was a top-flight running back there when we picked or a so-so tackle, who should we choose?

You mean if like Adrian Peterson was on the board when we picked.......we'd be stupid to not pick him because we'd rather have some ok player at another position.

[LiL stumppy]

We know, but if there was a top-flight running back there when we picked or a so-so tackle, who should we choose?

You trade down so you can get more of what you need. And LT has the second most touches in the NFL last time I checked, behind Steven Jackson. Who also doesn't split carries.

[Mecca]

I don't really think we should draft a RB either but if he was head and shoulders better than everyone else I would. I don't think you'd get fair value trading down....like as an example of Peterson fell I'd still take him in a second.

[ChiefsCountry]

You mean if like Adrian Peterson was on the board when we picked.......we'd be stupid to not pick him because we'd rather have some ok player at another position.

Exactly.

[Mecca]

They have alot of "touches" which includes catches and LT rately takes big hits on catches. LJ has about 100 more carries than LT and more than that than Steve Jackson. If you factor in LJ's receptions he's leading the league in touches by a wide margin.

I understand about LJ's touches but next year is not the time to draft someone new. LJ appears to be doing just fine.

[LiL stumppy]

Um, I promise you AP and anyother good RB will be on the board when we pick. AP is a top 3 pick.

[Mecca]

I know he's not going to be on the board but it was an example......I said earlier I thought this was a arguement that would never happen.

LJ's doing fine now........Jamal Anderson was doing fine setting the carry record till he was out of the league 2 years later.......

[LiL stumppy]

I agree he's getting to much, and we may need one sooner than later. But not in the next 3 ys.

[Mr. Laz]

As stupid as going in saying "we have to have this" and reaching way above where a guy should go? Ask Junior Siavii.....and the numerous other Chief reaches to fill a position.
except for as you have previously said "the chiefs have needs all across the board"

so finding a Good player AT a position of need shouldn't be that difficult.


imo you also need to consider how that player fits your scheme when you draft them.


2 players close, to the same talent .... you take the player that fills the biggest need.

2 players, close to the same talent .... you pick the player that fits your scheme the best.

This is why I'm a proponent of BPA.

The Chiefs have so many holes, the BPA almost certainly fills a need.

[Calcountry]

Who on the chargers splits carries with LT? Who on the Seahawks splits carries with Shaun Alexander. And im not talking their backup RB's that get 5 carries a games.Did you see how Reggie Bush and Deuce McAllister were used last night?
