Chiefs | M. Ryan works out for team
Mon, 31 Mar 2008 09:18:10 -0700
In an interview on SIRIUS NFL (http://www.kffl.com/team/77/nfl) Radio The SIRIUS Blitz, Boston College QB Matt Ryan (http://www.kffl.com/player/18242/nfl) said he has worked out for the Kansas City Chiefs (http://www.kffl.com/team/21/nfl).



The only other team that he said he worked out for was the Dolphins. I really don't want him. LETS GO JAKE LONG!!!!

It's not that I don't think Ryan will be a good quarterback. It's just I think the team has bigger issues to tend to. The Chiefs are acting like they won't get a chance to have a top 5 pick again.

Which may very well not be the case!

Perhaps, but next year's QB class is horrid, unless you think Tim Tebow is going to be great in the NFL.

Matt Ryan...Boston College QB Matt Ryan told Sirius NFL Radio that he worked out on-campus for the Jets, Dolphins, and Chiefs since his pro day workout and has upcoming visits scheduled with the Falcons and Ravens.

Last year everyone was all over Brohm. Why not draft him this year. Isn't he the same qb he was last year. I'd rather have him in the 2nd and draft Ellis or Long in the first.

Well that's what the rest of the draft is for.

Weather it's Ryan or somebody else, we'd better get a QB who has a realistic shot at starting for this team should Croyle not work out.

Yes, possibly. Whatever we do, we cannot just sit here and hope Brodie Croyle is going to suddenly figure the game out or that he's going to buck his own injury history.

the Chiefs are covering all bases. That's all. just because he worked out gfor us does not mean he is on top of our list. The only way Ryan makes any sense with our cutrrent O-line situation is if we are SURE he is the next John Elway or Peyton Manning.

I'd take Ryan in a second if Long is gone. They'll have another top 5 pick next season.

Well we do have more than one pick in this deep Oline class draft, and it is common for a top 5 QB to sit out his first year... meaning we could have ANOTHER draft next year, meaning we could draft a real LT in Oher instead of the stud RT Long.

Precisely. I think it's great that the Chiefs are inviting him in for a workout. They've sent everyone but the grounds crew to Boston for the Pro-Day workout, and now they are inviting him in for additional evaluation. You want to be damn sure that if you pick him as a QB at your #5 spot that you're not making a grave mistake.

Who's going to protect the QB's?

Carl can't keep plugging in an offensive line with veterans. I think it is great that you have 10 picks, but Carl, i/m/o has one more year left to prove his worth. Unless the FA's signed can do the job -- Who's to say that the Chiefs can't make it to deep in the playoffs or the Super Bowl?

The Giants won with 8 new rookies in key positions. The last big play came in the final minute of the Super Bowl when rookie DT Jay Alford was rotated in for a tired Fred Robbins. He sacked Brady on a 2nd & 10 from the NE's 26 yd line with 19 seconds to go. Big play. Alford was drafted in the 3rd rd 18th pick.

This it is for Carl -- 10 picks in the draft -- it's do or die. The Giants drafted RB Ahmad Bradshaw in the 7th Round with the 40th pick. I don't think there were more than 2 players left to draft after him... lol

Actually that's what i see in Ryan.

Tebow has started for ONE season IN THE SEC, and accounted for 40 tds, and I think 6 picks. Ryan threw 19 picks, held on to the ball, and threw accross his body repeatedly. I know, I know he had no help, whatever.

So the only way we can draft Ryan is if he will 100% be a 1st ballot HOF player and completely redefine the QB position?! :eek:

By that rationale, can we only draft Jake Long if we are SURE he's the next Anthony Munoz?

If we draft Ryan and he starts for 8-10 years and makes a couple Pro Bowls, it will be a great pick. He doens't need to be f'n Elway.

With all do respect, then why the hell are you pushing so hard for Ryan?

One of those guys is going to be there. I don't think Ryan is going to be a really bad QB. I just don't think he's on the level of the guys who surround him in the draft, and closer in value to the rest of the QBs, which can be had a lot lower than 5th.

Yes he does, top 5 picks especially QBs are held to that standard. Not solid starters Christ sakes. Generational players are what we are looking for, that's why KC is in the top 5 spot in the 1st place because of the major whiffs of the drafts in the past.

So that's apparently the only way the 5th pick this year will be viewed a 'hit', if he's a hof'er. Anything less is a bust.

So if we don't think there are any generational players available at 5, do you propose we just say "no thanks" and wait to pick a player in the 2nd round?

A "whiff" on a pick is Ryan Sims, Junior Siavii. A "whiff" would not be picking a QB that would start for years, make a few Pro Bowls, and generally develop into a solid, above-average starter. I'm not saying that's what Ryan will be at all, but I would hardly be disappointed in that or consider him a bust.

Thus why KC has been mediocre acceptance of mediocrity. above average starters can be taken in the mid first round. Top 5 picks one should look for the perennial all-pros not the types that may get there with development. KC doesn't have that kind of time, we need badass's now.

When the Player picked after you dominates at his position for the next 5-10 yrs, while you become above average, you are something like a miss. Not a whiff, nor a hit. Not stating claim for any player with this, just sayin.

KC can't hope that a QB can develop with a Top 5 pick, the guy will have to be a John Elway type for that pick to be worth anything. Ryan is a guy who'll need help to succeed. KC should looking at prospects that you can plug in, and they can dominate day one.

He had a great season PASSING the football. In high school he broke the state of FL passing records. He threw for over 3200yds and 32TDs this season, many of them long balls, with only 6ints and he was 2nd in the country in passing efficiency, not mentioning the only sophomore to EVER win the Heisman.

This season he wont be running the ball as much and he should have an improved defense to take some of the load off. Comparisons between him and Eric Crouch are a joke. We'll see how much he continues to progress as a junior.

So everybody can stop with the "why draft a QB when you can't protect him" talk. Unless you're a fan of trading down, picking a LT in the 1st at this point doesn't look like it's going to happen.

So if the best player on the board is a QB, (and the fact that it's a need for us is nice) then you take him.

J. Long, C. Long, Dorsey, Ellis, Gholston, and Mcfadden, would all have to be gone for Ryan to be BPA IMO. That's six players in 4 picks.

I guess you can take Mcfadden out of there since there's no way were taking him, but people will be looking to move up, and get him.

Could be smoke, but I've heard a lot about Bal. wanting him enough to trade up. Maybe thats why we're acting so interrested, so they'll trade with Oakland to jump us?:shrug: Probably giving our poker skills WAAYY to much credit, but guaranteeing Ryan going before us would make one of the big 4 available at 5. meh...
