Who do you want with our 1st rounder right now???

[ChiefMojo]

One would assume we are safe to be a top 10 pick in this upcoming draft. I've heard the possibility of drafting a S, OT, NT, or even WR.

Personally at this moment I'm leaning towards taking a Safety with our first pick. Can't go wrong with either Taylor Mays or Eric Berry. Personally I want Mays. The kid is a freak of nature! 6'4", 225-pounds and probably runs some where in the 4.3 range. He was the 100/200 meter dash champ in the State of Washington coming out of high school.

What about the rest of you?

[Buehler445]

You know, the Chiefs nickel package has been putting McGraw at a LB spot (from which his old, slow ass got a sack), it might be the perfect setup for Mays.

Didn't think about that Buehler, but Mays has the size of a LB, but the speed of a corner. I think he is someone that we could do a LOT of things with. There are many that think Mays still has a high upside. Generally kids out of USC have been pretty well tapped out, but Mays isn't one of them it seems.

[carlos3652]

Since this Draft is heavily based on BPA being on D, I would Draft - S, NT, and OT in the first two rounds...

then BPA with our 3rd-5th regardless of position, but i would like OL, WR and LB to be addressed....

[ChiefMojo]

Berry is similar to Ed Reed/Troy Polamalu in size. Around 5'11, 200 pounds and in the 4.3/4.4 range.

[MGRS13]

Trade down for more picks.

[ChiefMojo]

Trading down would be best and one would hope one of Berry/Mays would still be available.

If Bradford is gone, I would definitely be thinking right tackle with that first pick.

Ummm. McGraw was the STARTING Safety in that game. I was also operating under the assumption that he would be STARTING. Sorry I wasn't more explicit.

And my comment wasn't that we should draft him FOR that, but that sort of versatility (patriot word) is valuable.

Mays will be when they find out that he struggles in coverage, finding the ball/direction of the play and has poor technique in his tackling. A faster Bernard Pollard.

He's this years equivalent to Vernon Davis, i.e., a physical freak of nature with off-the-charts measurements that doesn't have very good football instincts.

The Gholston crowd will love him though.

Part of the solution.

We couldn't risk him falling to Mangini because that dude knows talent.

[SDChiefs]

A punter or kicker. If one is not available then I would have to say Mays or Berry. In that order.

[BossChief]

If we are stuck at our spot and cant trade down, I would take Suh. If he is gone, I take Mays and dont look back.

Suh=Seymour/Reggie White (from what Ive seen of him)
Mays=Sean Taylor

Ideally, I would hope that a DT quality pass rusher was available in this draft, but it seems there wont be.

The best thing to do would be to move down in the draft and add future picks. We got a long way to go and we can use all the long term help we can get.

Three consecutive top 5 picks on a 5 Tech!

[BWillie]

I'll be honest w/ you. I haven't watched Mays play much. I see he's 235. Could he ever play linebacker in the pros? You just don't see many safeties that big, anywhere. It's ridiculous.

[ChiefMojo]

Suh is can play either the 3-4 DE spot or a 4-3 DT.

[Saccopoo]

I'm not sure how Suh fits into the 3-4. I thought he was a Dorsey type player.
Posted via Mobile Device

Think of Dana Stubblefield in comparison.

He could play in both systems (4-3 & 3-4) effectively.

But the only way I'd consider him is if Dorsey was traded. Besides, he might well be off the board if the Chiefs are picking at below 3 or 4.

[ChiefMojo]

Sure Mays size of 6'4", 235-pounds is crazy to think of as a Safety, but his speed and lateral quickness at that size is off the charts. I think he would be a great 3-4 Safety as we can have him moving around like a bigger Troy Polamalu. Sideline to sideline of total destruction.

[ILChief]

Terrence Cody. I used to be in the OL crowd but that was before we traded Tank.

[Reaper16]

jimp.

[ChiefMojo]

The one downside to Cody is you don't take him in the top 10. He is at best a mid first rounder, but likely a later first round pick.

[DeezNutz]

Terrence Cody. I used to be in the OL crowd but that was before we traded Tank.

Ironically, so was Pioli.

Unless, that's you, Scott. If so...well...would someone like to do the honors?

[Reaper16]

The one downside to Cody is you don't take him in the top 10. He is at best a mid first rounder, but likely a later first round pick.
The same thing was rightfully said about Tyson Jackson. Scott Pioli does not give a damn about draft value. Its not his style.

[CaliforniaChief]

I'd take Mays or Berry in the first.

By the time we get to the third round I would hope we would have taken 1 player to improve our pass rush (LB?), one to improve at WR, and one on the offensive line. But maybe someone of incredible value slips and we just won't be able to pass them up. Just don't know.

[Saccopoo]

I'll be honest w/ you. I haven't watched Mays play much. I see he's 235. Could he ever play linebacker in the pros? You just don't see many safeties that big, anywhere. It's ridiculous.

Kam Chancellor of Virginia Tech is that big. Not as fast as Mays though.

I just worry about his instinctiveness on the field. He does a lot of head hunting when he gets to the ball, but he doesn't make a lot of individual plays on the ball by himself and doesn't seem to get to the play as it's staring to happen. At least to the extent of someone like Berry, Stuckey (who the Chiefs could get with one of their second rounders). His tackling is suspect as he looks to knock the piss out of someone rather than wrap up.

He is able to make up for this with his insane athletic ability, but I don't think that will cover him in the pros as much as it does in college.

From what I've read, he's very capable of putting on an additional 20 to 30 pounds almost immediately. He might be better suited as an OLB in a 4-3 or a Mike LB in a 3-4 at the next level if he can truly add that type of weight and still maintain his athleticism. But I wouldn't advocate spending a first round pick on a guy who has questionable ball skills at the safety or a project at linebacker.

[Saccopoo]

Spoken like someone who hasn't watched Mays much.

Three games last year, two games this year. He didn't look very good against Notre Dame.

[ChiefMojo]

Here is a article dealing with Mays and his size/speed combination.

[milkman]

Spoken like someone who hasn't watched Mays much.

He said as much in the "Mockery of a draft" thread in the draft forum.

He has a lot of solid draft takes, so I'm not going to be too critical of his take on Mays.

But Mays will be a difference making playmaker at safety in the next level.

You just can't find that combination of speed, size, and discipline all that often.

He will have to improve his tackling technique, but he is going to be the prototype by the time he's done.

[Saccopoo]

Terrence Cody. I used to be in the OL crowd but that was before we traded Tank.

Boo Robinson in the second would be a better alternative than Cody.

Bago'shit :D is a solid poster and seems to know his draft prospects. But someone is going to have to reconcile this knowledge with his desire to draft a RT in the top 3.

[ChiefMojo]

If we don't take Mays or Berry, my next pick of the Safeties is Darrell Stucky of Kansas. He is very similar in size/speed as Berry. Likely could get him in the 2nd/3rd round range.

He shouldn't have to improve his tackling by the time he hits the NFL. As far as him as a S, I'd love Mays if we had a S who could cover a WR/TE/anyone and make a play on the ball, allowing Mays to more or less roam around & head hunt. That being said, we don't have any Ss that can cover, so I don't think he'd be that effective in our secondary. I'll take Berry.

You know, he very well could pull an Urlacher and do this. Urlacher was a huge, devastingly athletic guy when he played safety at New Mexico. Used a lot like USC uses Mays - kind of a hybrid LB/safety player.

The change to MLB in the NFL hasn't hurt Brian any:

Isn't Mays used mostly as a centerfielder?

[BWillie]

If we don't take Mays or Berry, my next pick of the Safeties is Darrell Stucky of Kansas. He is very similar in size/speed as Berry. Likely could get him in the 2nd/3rd round range.

Stuckey is looking great this year. But he plays on such a bad defense, sometimes it's hard to tell. He comes flying in making tackles and plays from all over hell. I thought if anything his draft status would fall, but it appears he's doing just fine.

[chiefs1111]

I want a game changing,play maker

[ChiefMojo]

I think there are probably 4-5 big time Safeties in this class, but Mays and Berry is Pro-Bowl game changers imho.

[GoHuge]

1 - BPA
2 - OL
2 - OL
3 - OL
4 - OL
5 - BPA
5 - BPASign me up! At least both seconds. Get the best Right tackle on the board and the best guard. In the secong round those two would be pretty studly guys. I wouldn't mind moving BW down to center if he's going to be here next year. Alot of people think that's his best position anyway. Hopefully Albert works out at LT and if he does I'd put that new guard between him and Waters. On the right side you'll have that new monster RT and pick up a really good guard in FA and your set. Just some ideas and I'm well aware of the fact I'm not a NFL personnel guy.

[Rain Man]

I'd really hope for an elite WR or OT or maybe rushing OLB. I love safeties and we need one or two or three, but you can get a retread like Brian Dawkins for a year at safety. I don't think safeties are good first-round investments.

Use the second-round pick on the top G or C around, and then use the other second-round pick on another G or C or OT if we don't take an OT in the 1st. Gotta solve the line problem.

[sedated]

always take the BPA.

the draft is about the future, the next 4-10 years, not just next year.

our OLine wouldn't be the worst in the NFL now if we would have taken some OLinemen in 2003-2005 when we had the best OLine in football.

[CrazyPhuD]

You have to love the raw measureables on mays. However you also have to worry a bit if people will fall in love with the athlete and not measure him on his football skills. Still would be interesting, but always in the back of the head is the concern if he'll be worth the pick. High safety picks are rare and even if we convert him to MLB, high MLB picks are rare too. You'd have to get someone like ray lewis to be sure he was worth the expense. Just because you can pay less for a good one, rather than say and elite linemen or WR or QB.

[Kyle DeLexus]

Isn't Mays used mostly as a centerfielder?

Yes.

He's their cover guy that allows others to be playmakers. In the draft forum someone said it best. If you draft Mays it's like having one guy that can do the job of two and that makes your whole defense that much better.

I would love to get either Berry or Mays in the first since a Suh or Dunlap won't fit our scheme(Suh's case being we already drafted our 5-tech's in the top 5 the last two years). If a top receiver falls to the 2nd take them if not we have so many holes on this team you take best player available throughout. If two guys grade out the same take the olineman. That's just what I'd do of course.

It'd be nice to fill a couple spots on the Oline, get a NT, LBer or 2, WR, and S. We do only have so many picks though so looks like it'll be another 2 years before we have a chance to be playoff bound.

[KC Jones]

I have no take, it's still too early in the year for me to spend much time thinking about draft picks. However, if we go Defense we're soft up the middle (NT, ILB, S), and on offense about the only players I feel good about are Cassel, Bowe, and Wade. You could swap out the whole frickin O-line and be improved.

[Mecca]

Mays will be when they find out that he struggles in coverage, finding the ball/direction of the play and has poor technique in his tackling. A faster Bernard Pollard.

He's this years equivalent to Vernon Davis, i.e., a physical freak of nature with off-the-charts measurements that doesn't have very good football instincts.

The Gholston crowd will love him though.

If you think Mays struggles in coverage when he's spent 4 years as a cover 1 deep safety, you are a moron.

Getting picks and being good at coverage are not the same thing, he doesn't have good ball skills, that however doesn't mean he sucks at coverage.

Also Mays despite his size is and has always been a FS not a SS so awesome comparison to Pollard there.

[HolmeZz]

Berry. We have a ton of holes, might as well fill one with the best player in the draft.

[ChiefMojo]

Again you can't go wrong with either Mays or Berry! If you want play makers, then you draft one of the two.

[Reaper16]

From the sounds of it, a good majority of posters want Berry or Mays in the first. That makes me happy; we're not going to have the epic-scale division over the pick like we had last year. It's shaping up to be the Safety camp vs the "Franchise Right Tackle" camp... much better than the QB vs Jesus Curry vs Left Tackle (vs Crabtree) debacle of 2009.

At least Cody can be a 2down dominator, if he is handled properly.

[GoHuge]

If we do go safety I'd rather go with Mays. Berry looks like more of a ball hawk while Mays is faster and looks like a better overall football player. I just think Mays brings more to the table. Put ten more pounds on him and he could also be the fastest linebacker in the NFL. Somebody made an Urlacher reference to him earlier and you could go that way with him as well. He's that physical of a player.

Suh is the same position as Tyson Jackson in the Chiefs defense. Considering that Dorsey is an end in the 3-4, a draft selection of Suh would mean that the team would have drafted at least four 3-4 DE in three years. That isn't going to happen.

[milkman]

Oh, gee. The DL-for-some-inexplicable-reason crowd is going to be vociferously debating whether to go for Cody or Suh.

Darnell Dockett is 6ft 4 in and 285 BUT he is a special player
Ndamukong Suh is 6ft 4 in and 305 and looks like he can add weight to his frame

I think he is elusive enough and has enough moves to be successful

[Reaper16]

Darnell Dockett is 6ft 4 in and 285 BUT he is a special player
Ndamukong Suh is 6ft 4 in and 305 and looks like he can add weight to his frame
AND is a special player.

I think he is elusive enough and has enough moves to be successful

I really want Taylor Mays the most but it will never happen
I like Suh an awful lot, but not for the Chiefs.

[Mecca]

No...Cody to me is a really fat guy who gets by on the college level because he is literally 80lbs heavier then most guys trying to block him.

He never gets in the backfield, he's 2 down player...who wants to use a top 10 pick on a lazy guy who's a 2 down player? Not to mention there's the risk that once he gets paid he gets even fatter and lazier.

Cody carries a ton of risk.

[DeezNutz]

Does anyone think that Cody is in the same realm as Vince Wilfork?

Scientifically speaking? Probably.

[salame]

I like Suh an awful lot, but not for the Chiefs.

So who do you want then?

[Mecca]

He's saying it would be stupid to take Suh with what the Chiefs already have on their roster, and it's true, unless you think they're going to trade Dorsey or something.

[irishjayhawk]

I like Suh an awful lot, but not for the Chiefs.

If we hadn't just taken Dorsey, he'd be my #1.

[Reaper16]

So who do you want then?
Mays or Berry, duh. Upgrading the team's dismal safety corps with one of two rare talents only makes perfect sense.

[Mecca]

I fully expect as the draft gets closer and more people who don't follow it start to chime into debates we'll have the "I don't want a fucking safety" group...probably led by Laz.

What playmakers has NE ever drafted? Specifically with a high pick...

All their high picks have either been linemen or busts...something to ponder.

If that's true Clark really wants a QB and a qb is going to be the pick then I would go for sanchez because he has more potential upside. I'm afraid stafford is just going to be a mediocre brian greise level qb. He's the "safer" pick but the chiefs need to go for great. Draft sanchez then just as happened with elway and montana, sign a garcia to be steve deberg and mentor the kid and takes the hits until the line gets improved. Just my take on it.

How far ahead of the draft was that? I'm not above admitting I can change my mind. I didn't think they could get Cassel. Once that happened I was thrilled. But you guys have had ample time to see both qbs and to still be ragging on Cassel and holding on to your positions that Sanchez is nearly the quarterback is pretty thick.

Dez Bryant in the 1st, then pick up Myron Rolle. We get the best wideout and Rolle will be a ball hawk.

[Demonpenz]

I haven't seen enough reports what not, but I don't think albert is the answer at LT, get him moved if there is a stud left O tackle. If not just get a fucking playmaker, no more dorsey's or jacksons please

[KcFanInGA]

Eric Berry or the best wideout available, we need playmakers everywhere, but for those early picks secondary or WR should be addressed. You like that run-on sentence?

[KcFanInGA]

Anybody got the names of the better Wr's in the upcoming draft? That's an area I haven't looked into much yet. Also in the later rounds if Jonathan Dwyer is there I'd take him. I don't think we are as deep at RB as some think, unless Kolby shows something good when he is finally healed.

[KcFanInGA]

Mecca, what do you think of Arrellius (sp?) Benn? I watched some video on him and was curious to what you know about him as far as negatives.

He's having a really bad year for whatever reason. It would be my guess that he probably stays in school and doesn't enter the draft, especially if other underclassmen declare like Mike Williams of Syracuse, Damian Williams of USC and Golden Tate of Notre Dame. I'm assuming that Dez Bryant comes out due to the NCAA thing.

Best receiver in the Big Ten right now is Eric Decker.

Okung is spread LT who isn't better than Albert. Dunlap is a beast who would be our pick if we were in a 4-3. We don't need a QB, Cassel looks better than this year's crop of QBs thats for sure.

GM's are hired and fired every year. In addition, it's fairly rare that a GM is in his 30's, let alone 40's. Look at a guy like Kevin Pritchard. He was invisible for years after his years at KU, then he's in the US Basketball league or whatever as a coach. They folded and he's now the GM at Portland.

Becoming a GM, especially once you're "IN" the sports world, isn't impossible.

CC said he chose to head down the path of marketing. Even that path won't necessarily preclude him from becoming a GM of a sports franchise down the line.

dane i'm not arguing any of that, he said he COULD be a gm if HE wanted to be. it's not that cut and dried. again how many graduated last year alone with the EXACT SAME degree as him?

he always plays the 1st round qb % of Sb victory card, well what would you say the % of sports management graduates end up being an NFL GM?

[Reaper16]

This is the shittiest argument.

[SAUTO]

This is the shittiest argument.


you know i really agree, people just keep chiming in and they are making no sense to me. all i disagreed with was the fact that he said he COULD be if HE wanted to be. thats like saying that i could be a lead nascar mechanic, i have the training. why couldnt i walk into a nascar garage and go to work and be in charge? hell i have worked on tony stewart's sprint cars. kasey kahne's too. hell i have an "in" there right? still the odds are against me, same situation as him

The problem with your question Jason is that people often have their paths diverted along the way. You may start out with the intention of being a GM but then an opp in marketing, representation or another aspect of the business is offered, that path is taken with every intention of returning to the original path. But often times, things are going so well and these people are paid so well they say "Well, why do I want that headache now?".

Defensive playmaker- either an impact safety or a pass-rushing LB.

Failing that, I would like an impact WR with speed.

Failing that, I would like a giant, space-eating, middle of the pocket destroying NT.

[boogblaster]

We have to shore-up our O-line period ... A NT would be fine but expecting one fresh out of college is crazy .. A NT will have to come by FA .....

[Mecca]

I don't get how hard it is to understand that the Oline can be adressed in the mid rounds it does not require a top 10 pick.

[el borracho]

Oh, I don't think anyone would argue against drafting some Olinemen but I wouldn't do that with our top 5 pick. I would do that with rounds two through five. I would like to see us use the top five pick on someone that will change games.

We didn't do either last year, it was brilliant.

I could do what Pioli did but there is no freaking way would I want to sleep with this.

Thats Amanda Belichick, Pioli is sleeping with Dallas Pioli or Dallas Parcells. Wrong daughter.

[el borracho]

Agreed, this most recent offseason was a disappointment. Cassel does not look special nor do any of our draft picks. Seriously, can you imagine any of our most recent acquisitions becoming all-pros? I can't.

Disappointment is an understatement.

BTW, who's the dude in your avatar?

[Mecca]

I can't imagine Scott Pioli's wife being good looking...she's Parcells daughter and married to a big fat bald guy.

I can use understatements because my expectations for this season were so low. Even if we had taken Sanchez instead of the trade (the smart thing to do, IMO), we would still have sucked this year.

The "dude" in my avatar is Alison Krauss.

[Buehler445]

We have to have good lines for playmakers on either side of the ball to make plays. The Chiefs absolutely MUST address the OL and NT position. But not necessarily with the top 5er.

I think people associate spending a 1st round pick on a position as making it a priority.

[Kyle DeLexus]

I can't imagine Scott Pioli's wife being good looking...she's Parcells daughter and married to a big fat bald guy.

Thats a good point but was Parcells ex wife hot? If her mom is hot then she has a chance. Pioli wasn't always bald you know and fat guys get chicks way out of their league all the time.

[BossChief]

and some want to put the roof on the house before a foundation is laid.


disclaimer: I DO NOT want a olineman with our top pick.

[DeezNutz]

Rich dudes usually have ugly wives.

[el borracho]

How old is she? I can't ever figure it out. Are you a fan of her music?

According to Wikipedia, she was born the 23rd of July, 1971.

And I wouldn't say that I love all of her music, but I would say that there are a handful of songs that I adore. Her voice is angelic.

It's just really overdone this franchise could use their 1st round pick on a offensive or defensive lineman every year and half the fan base would be happy.

She has a face for radio.

[Pioli Zombie]

I don't get how hard it is to understand that the Oline can be adressed in the mid rounds it does not require a top 10 pick.

You use a top 10 pick to get someone to fumble in the End Zone and throw Interceptions.

Failing that, I would like an impact WR with speed.

With the way Pioli drafts receivers, I wouldn't touch a receiver with a five-foot poll (that's code for "my dick")

You're right on both above. I just can't think of a single scenario where it's a good idea to pass on Berry or Mays. Unless both of them really tank in their combine or have some kind of major injury.

I love how people think the first round pick is the only way to upgrade the lines. ROFL
