By ADAM TEICHER
The Kansas City Star
1. Chiefs

• OT Eric Fisher, Central Michigan: Chiefs need to secure an important position.

2. Jacksonville

• DE Ezekiel Ansah, Brigham Young: The Jaguars get much-needed pass rush help.

3. Oakland

• DT Sharrif Floyd, Florida: Al Davis wouldn’t have approved of this pick.

4. Philadelphia

• OT Luke Joeckel, Texas A&M: Fisher would be the pick if Chiefs go with Joeckel.

5. Detroit

• CB Dee Milliner, Alabama: The Lions go for a fast corner to help their defense.

6. Cleveland

• LB Dion Jordan, Oregon: He needs time to develop but could become a star.

• OT Lane Johnson, Oklahoma: The Cardinals can’t continue to ignore their offensive line.

8. Buffalo

• QB Geno Smith, West Virginia: The draft’s best QB prospect.

9. N.Y. Jets

• LB Jarvis Jones, Georgia: A talented linebacker with pass-rush skills.

10. Tennessee

• DT Star Lotulelei, Utah: Medical concerns could cause him to drop.

11. San Diego

12. Miami

• G Jonathan Cooper, North Carolina: Could become one of the all-time greats.

13. Tampa Bay

• LB Barkevious Mingo, LSU: Talented, but an underachiever in college.

14. Carolina

• WR Cordarrelle Patterson, Tennessee: A fast receiver for Cam Newton.

15. New Orleans

• DT Sheldon Richardson, Missouri: Could anchor Saints’ line for years.

16. St. Louis

• WR Tavon Austin, West Virginia: Maybe the most explosive offensive player in draft.

17. Pittsburgh

• CB Desmond Trufant, Washington: Here’s help for an aging, depleted defense.

18. Dallas

• G Chance Warmack, Alabama: Talented, but he plays an undervalued position.

19. N.Y. Giants

• LB Alec Ogletree, Georgia: Giants collapsed defensively last year.

26. Green Bay

• TE Zach Ertz, Stanford: A second tight end for Aaron Rodgers.

27. Houston

• WR Justin Hunter, Tennessee: Texans need to prepare for Andre Johnson’s decline.

28. Denver

• DT Sylvester Williams, North Carolina: Broncos can use a young body on defensive line.

29. New England

• CB Johnthan Banks, Mississippi State: Patriots’ weakness is pass defense.

30. Atlanta

• CB Logan Ryan, Rutgers: A corner to help cover for Dunta Robinson’s departure.

God these people are fucking idiots. Why would the Jaguars take Ansah over Dion Jordan? We held a private workout/meeting with Jordan, and haven't shown any interest in Ansah whatsoever.

I'm still thinking the Chiefs trade down, take somebody's first and second pick for the first pick in draft. Could be St. Louis, could be Minnesota. We seem to have success dealing with Minnesota.

Who have we dealt to Minnesota besides Jared Allen.

I just don't see it.

There isn't a single player tht separates himself from other top prospects in this draft.

There are no generational talents.

With the QB movement in the last week, the QB market has dried up.
A team like Buffalo can sit where they are and still probably get one of the top 2 QBs.

Chances are, the Chiefs are stuck where they are.

We kind of traded Bryant McKinnie for Ryan Sims with them. But that's not really success.

Personally, if Mingo falls to SD, they're fucking idiots for not drafting him. Didn't they lose Barnes and Phillips?

I agree that we need to shore up an important position. It is called QB.

Yep our worst position right now is qb.

Our o line was 13th in the league last year. Would be top 10 if it wasnt for bad qb play. Better qbs= better o line.

We should consider drafting a quarterback.

We should consider drafting a quarterback.

What a refreshing new idea. Never thought of that. I just always assumed after listening to Barry's Koolaid that the only position you could draft as the Kansas City Chiefs was a offensive lineman.

I never really considered that option. With the elite talent we've had all these years under center, we've become spoiled. Perhaps we'll find a starter we're accustomed to in the 7th round.

I don't want no stinking QB, I just want to run the ball like real men do. None of this sissy-candy-assed passing stuff. Any chance we can hire Herm Edwards as our offensive coordinator?

For fuck's sake we have quality tackle options and guys we just spent 2nd and 3rd rounders on we can slide to the right tackle spot.

Exactly. Some people get this.

In order to trade down someone has to want to trade UP. This doesn't appear to be the draft for that. ESPECIALLY for the 1.1 pick.

And with the Chiefs and Raiders both taking themselves out of the running for Geno if someone really wanted him they will not have to move up to those top spots to get him and they know it.
