[The Franchise]

Kyle Rudolph as the #3 TE? :spock:

[DrRyan]

Kyle Rudolph as the #3 TE? :spock:

That and Solder as the #2 OT was surprising to me. I guess the Solder upside argument can be made but I would pass on him early.

[AustinChief]

That and Solder as the #2 OT was surprising to me. I guess the Solder upside argument can be made but I would pass on him early.

I had him pegged as a possible #1 OT as far back as a year ago, so I'm not surprised :D

[Dave Lane]

I had him pegged as a possible #1 OT as far back as a year ago, so I'm not surprised :D

The video of him is scary, he looks like a 3rd rounder to me.

This draft really is sad in its lack of good talent.

[RealSNR]

I drafted Lance Kendricks for the Vikings in the 4th round :rockon:

Go me

This is said about any draft, depending who you talk to.

[the Talking Can]

no houston?

[Coogs]

Isn't the Punter/Kicker from Nebraska a senior?

[cabletech94]

gosslein?

as in kate gosslein?

[Chiefnj2]

Hankerson not in top 5 WRs.

Taylor not ahead of Austin.

Martez listed as an OLB, and Dent as an ILB.

And, drumroll please Cam Newton over Gabbert.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

I drafted Jarrett, his #2 safety, in the 7th round of the CP Mock, but he was a player I really liked.

I think he's generally got the top 5 right in most cases, even if I'd reorder some of the areas. I do think he's pretty far off on the DE's, though.

[JimBaker488]

Gosselin is apparently behind the curve because the most informative player ratings these days have separate catagories for 3-4 & 4-3 DLineman & LBs.

[Direckshun]

I want to see your list.

DEs especially.

[Quesadilla Joe]

There is plenty of talent. It's just to bad the Chiefs drafted two DL in the top 5 already because this is the best DL draft in over a decade.

[BossChief]

Is it just me, or is KnowMo slowly turning into a Chiefs fan?

[RustShack]

Colin franklin isn't one of the top TE's?

[milkman]

Is it just me, or is KnowMo slowly turning into a Chiefs fan?

Hopefully it's just you.

We don't want his dumb ass.

[BigCatDaddy]

Kiper and McShay have Newton going #1 now as well so it looks like that's going to be the pick for the Panthers.

[Chiefnj2]

If it happens, what does that say about their opinion of Clausen?

[BigCatDaddy]

If it happens, what does that say about their opinion of Clausen?

Obviously not very much, but he was Fox's guy so maybe he gets traded to Denver. He would be the best QB on the roster :)

[bsp4444]

There is plenty of talent. It's just to bad the Chiefs drafted two DL in the top 5 already because this is the best DL draft in over a decade.

Maybe a really good one will get pushed to the third round. If the Chiefs address a couple other areas (WR, DT, OL) in the first two rounds, I'd be happy with taking another D-Lineman in the third, or depending on the situation, maybe even the second, if he was possibly a first round talent any other year.

[The Franchise]

If it happens, what does that say about their opinion of Clausen?

And I still think that Clausen has the talent and can be good in the right system.

[Nightfyre]

We should pick up Clausen if the Panthers take Newton. I really think Ron Rivera would love Marcell Dareus though.

[Diesel]

What do you guys think about OLB Brooks Reed from Arizona? Man I loved watching the guy play this year and would love to have him in KC. Haven't heard many even bring up his name. Guy has a great motor and plays with a lot of passion/emotion, seems like a great guy to have on the field and in the lockerroom.

I also liked his partner in crime at Arizona Ricky Elmore. Google those two guys and check out some of their highlights, think you'll be impressed.

Also wondering what everyone thinks of Sam Acho of Texas. Just trying to think of some guys we might spend a 2-4th rounder on as I think in the 1st with what should fall we would have to be thinking NT, OL or possibly WR. But imo we do need another OLB desperately to play opposite of Tamba. Would really like to bring in a high energy guy like a Brooks Reed.
