We drafted a LT last year and don't need another, Crabtree isn't a top WR most years, and LB'ers just aren't worth a top three pick. The best possible thing we can do is trade down but I doubt that happens. Personally I feel Haley drafts Crabtree though, if not he gets another LT and moved Albert to OG to help keep Cassel up-right. Curry I think would be the last option, I feel sorry for the Chiefs if Pioli is such a bad drafter he can't find LB's outside of the top 3.

I'd rather see the Chiefs draft Maclin than Crabtree at #3. This would not be a smart move, but it would be better than selecting Crabtree, IMO.

A ****in' men. Crabtree does not jazz me in the slightest anymore. We need a burner, his foot is jacked, and will it ever be the same?

Is he worth 3rd overall salary? **** no.

None of our existing DL would be ideal starters in a 3-4. Some of them might be backups at various positions, but we have no starters.

DJ is a starting ILB in a 3-4. Other than him and Vrabel (who might be a backup at this point) we have no starters at LB, either.

Pollard MIGHT be a decent SS in a pressure D. Page has no position, and both of our CB's are zone guys who might struggle in a pressure D.

By my count, your scenario of not making exceptions would require us to get TEN new defensive players this offseason. That's not going to happen.

I am going to be shocked if there's a team that wants to trade up to #3 this year.

Neither is Maclin, though. I like him better than Ginn, but not nearly enough for #3. It would not be a "smart" selection.

I'd agree if he did anything well, ran well, played the run well something..

Hell I think Brian Johnston has a better shot of being a 3-4 role guy out there than Hali does.

Now I think Flowers will be fine, and I don't particularly like the safeties and most of the front 7 needed to be replaced anyway.
