Hey, it worked the last time we had a RB threatening to hold out for more $ when he was already in a current contract.

It's just you.

If they draft a RB what's it say about Bennett....
I'm all for giving somebody else 10-15 carries a game.

How about we throw the ball a little more?

Darby plays alot like Shaun Alexander so I have no problem with that

It is just one week to go until the draft, and a month or so ago Holthaus or someone said to be prepared for a "Blockbuster" type trade. Time will tell.

Trade Trent Green and Larry Johnson to Cleveland for the 3rd pick of the draft. :D


Chiefs mock

Rd 1
#3 WR Calvin Johnson
#?? (trade down recoup a 3rd/4th) DT Justin Harrell

RD 2

#23 RB Antonnio Pittman

RD 3

#?? (trade from Rd 1) CB Jonathan Wade, Tennessee

#23 OG Manuel Ramirez, Texas Tech

RD4-7 BAA



Player info:


OG Manuel Ramirez, Texas Tech 6-3 326 40 5.20 Strongest member of the team with a bench press of 550 lbs...Quite the physical specimen...He is not flashy but you know what you are getting...Will be limited to playing inside at the next level and his best fit will be with a run orientated team.


CB Jonathan Wade, Tennessee, 5-10, 195: A sprinter originally recruited as a receiver, Wade started only one full season as a defensive back. He has obvious ability to run and jump with a 4.36 time in the 40 and a 40½-inch vertical jump, not surprising since he set a Louisiana high school record of 21.03 seconds in the 200 meters. His footwork and body control make him appear to have the talent to excel in man-to-man coverage, but he has a lot of work to do in order to learn the position.

WR Calvin Johnson 6-5, 239, 4.35: Simply one of the best wide receiver prospects to come along in quite some time and can be a matchup nightmare for defenses...Think Terrell Owens without the attitude...His talent wasn't always utilized in college but has the chance to be an impact, game-changing receiver at the next level...A lock to be one of the premier prospects available and he should come off the board in the Top 3-5 overall picks.


DT Justin Harrell, Tennessee, 6-4, 300: Harrell enters the draft with scouts concerned about his ability to come back from a biceps injury. He was one of college football's best run-stoppers before the injury. An emotional team leader, Harrell started 25 of his 35 games with the Volunteers and finished his career with 82 tackles (14 for losses) and four sacks.

RB Antonio Pittman, Ohio State, 5-11, 207: He is a strong inside runner with a knack for making the first tackler miss and enough speed to scare a defense after that, as evidenced by his 4.40-second time in the 40-yard dash at the scouting combine. Pittman started 25 games for the Buckeyes, racking up 2,945 rushing yards and 22 touchdowns on 557 carries; he also gained 314 yards on 37 receptions.

I wouldn't melt down if we traded Larry Johnson as long as we got value, but that kind of goes for anybody.

Wile_E_Coyote 04-20-2007 10:22 AM

You've been following the Chiefs for how long now? They may draft a running back, but that does not mean that is the postion they will play him at. Teicher, I'm disappointed in ya

As much as I like some of these guys, If we could get a top 10 pick, I would select Okoye.
