Right now alot of mocks are showing our pick as Dwayne Jarrett......have a problem with that?

depends... are all quality LTs and DTs off the board?

There's 1 quality DT and he's going top 10.....the only LT left is Levi Brown from Penn State and he's not nearly the caliber of player of a Jarrett taking Brown over Jarrett would be a monumental **** up.

Personally, i think drafting in the 1st round a team (especially in the later half like the Chiefs usually do) should take the best player available regardless of position.


Drafting for need has made Carl reach on some serious projects...most notably Trezelle Jenkins, Siavii ( a low 2nd rounder)


He did great when he drafted LJ because he was the best athelete left on the board, even though it wasnt a real pressing need at the time.

see, that's the rub--we have NO clue who'll declare yet, no clue who's going to vault up the 'draft boards' due to outstanding workouts, and no clue who'll slide/fall in our laps... I still hold out hope that sam baker or alan branch will have horrible workout numbers and fall to us

That first pick had better be one of the following: an OT, a DT or a WR. Anything else would be foolish.

Branch is projected 8th, Baker is projected 11th.....so they are included.

Just so you know after Branch at DT and Thomas/Baker at OT there is a serious drop off to the next guys....there isn't even another DT who should go 1st round.

If you see a OT/DT taken by the Chiefs in the 1st without those names it's probably a severe reach.

Yes true, obviously at a position of need i should have said.

Id even be open to picking a CB or QB if hes the best athlete left on the board.

The only positions the Chiefs shouldn't be looking at are RB and TE and that's provided they resign Gonzalez they can use everything else......

Agreed. But im of the unpopular opinion they should blow the roster up and start over. Im even willing to sacrifice a few seasons to get some top 10 picks.


What Carl is doing now isnt working, and theres no hope on the horizon..its time to start fresh from scratch.

I believe this too......I'd much rather feel we were building to somthing and there was light at the end of the tunnel than muddled mediocrity every year.

Long? Brown? Pitcock?

The first pick better be the best player on the board regardless of position need.

jake long already said he was returning for his SR year... I have no clue how good brown OR pitcock are
