I can live with that if Wright or Tank are the target.

Bingo.

IMO, I believe KC will draft Wright since Herm seems like he's crushin' on him

I've been trying to prepare people for this for weeks.

Not only does Herm not feel we need WR's, he feels they aren't good value in R1.

“For some reason, it takes them a while. Most rookie receivers don’t come in and light it up their first year. They struggle. The dynamics have changed for those guys from college to the NFL. You have to understand that when you draft a receiver in the first round. A lot of them don’t play their first year and even when they play, they don’t live up to expectations.
“You can find guys to help you at wide receiver later in the draft, definitely.”


I'm not sure why this comes as a huge shock to anyone......

At this point, I'm thinking we go CB in R1, trade down for Harrell or Tank, or reach for a player......

I'm not going to throw up if that's the pick but I would prefer that we drop back a few spots to get him.

Of course dropping back isn't automatic. There needs to be someone at 23 that someone else really wants and I don't have any idea who that would even be.

If we don't take WR in the first, I sure hope we take a Corner, or I will be pissed.

This year's draft is filled with talent, up to and including the 3rd round. I look for the Chiefs to gamble on CB Daymeion Hughes from Cal in the 1st round, even with a slow 40 in trials. Lott trophy winner, parents both track-letes.

Who the heck knows, until the 22nd pick is made?

Can you imagine Eric Wright as the Nickle Back this year?

Edwards did nothing with WRs besides sign McCareins in New York. He played with Coles/Moss and Chrebet for years. Although Coles/Moss ARE decent.

Yes, his ceiling is through the roof.

I don't understand why we would go CB in the first. Herm said he doesn't like taking WR's because a lot of the times they don't start their first year. So, we take a CB that's not going to start the first year? I know we need to get younger, but trading down is looking better all the time

Excellent.

Levi Brown if he is there at 23. If not, take the best CB available. Or trade down for the DT.

Drafting a wr with your one is fool's gold. Exhibit A - The Detroit Lions.

Anyone feel like addressing my earlier post about CBs in a Cover 2 scheme? I don't remember Tampa Bay or Chicago taking CBs in the 1st round. Is a 1st round CB really necessary?

Just because the Chiefs D cannot cover them doesn't indicate how good they are. It may say more about how the D still need work.

Besides, run, run, pass, punt along with Herm's: "you don't try to outscore the opponent on the road" would indicate little to no need for a WR.

His WR corps with the Jets were better than anything we've had in over a decade.

Coles, Chrebet, Moss
