What We Need: By Position.

[Micjones]

This is less about particular players and more about where we need help.

An ideal draft would consist of:
[Defense]
(1) NT, (2) LB's, (1) S

[Offense]
(1) WR, (1) RB, (1) G, (1) C

discuss...

[wutamess]

You forgot QB.
TG2 isn't going to lead us anywhere.
You also forgot another LT or RT.

[Rain Man]

If we could magically get 8 starters (we have eight picks, right?), I'd go with the following, in descending order of desire.

1. Nose tackle.
2. Wide receiver.
3. Pass rushing linebacker.
4. Inside linebacker.
5. Center.
6. Free safety.
7. Right guard.
8. Strong safety.

Lets save everyone time : we need a whole new team.

2. NT
3. Rush backer
4. FS
5. ILB
6. Center
7. RT
8. WR

At #5 overall, value (with respect to this draft) and need meet at 1 and 4.

5, 2, and even 8 could be understandable selections, however.

I didn't list QB, but as a policy any team with a top-five pick should take a QB if there's a top-flight prospect available to them. That position is too important to pass up if you've got a franchise guy available.

That's an insult to Trent Green AFAIC. I love what Green did for this team. I don't think I'll be saying the same about Mark Castle. Hopefully I'm wrong.

[DeezNutz]

Try TT2.

Or TT63.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Try TT2.

Exactly.

All hyperbole aside, I really hope that Matt surprises us this year and makes me look like a fool again.

I'm so sick of my team losing. I want my Chiefs back on MNF and in the spotlight again, but for REAL this time out. I miss that more than you can possibly imagine.

[spanky 52]

When I think of the Chiefs needs, I assume they won't sign anyone in free agency. Based on that assumption I believe the Chiefs need a NT, SS, RG, C, OLB, ILB, WRS, RBF and TE. I believe the Chiefs will be like the majority of NFL teams and not spend that many dollars in FA. I think Chiefs fans better be prepared for another year of suckage.

Seriously.

It's shorter to list what we don't need.

PK
P
LT - for now
DE


Every other position needs to be upgraded or needs significant depth.
