The Chiefs have drafted as many or more offensive linemen as the Patriots have over the last 5 years.

More often then not that approach gets you nowhere. What yo udont hear about is how New England traditionally drafts more offensive lineman year in and year out than any team - there is something to be learned from that approach.
where in my post did I advocate signing "high priced FA" and "combine superstars"?

are you high?

i didn't do the last 3 picks. I love our draft, especially the first day. I think our team lacks any depth in the interior line so I drafer two guards

1a. Glenn Dorsey - DT
1b. Brandon Albert - OT
2. Brandon Flowers - CB
3a. Jamaal Charles – RB
3b. Jeremy Zuttah – OG
3c. DaJuan Morgan - S
4. Kenny Iwebema - DE
5. Roy Schuening, - OG
6a. Taylor Melhaff - K

i might of traded up for OT chris williams intead of albert but i'm not adamant about it.

other than that the 1st day stays as is

the 2nd day however could of be "tweaked"

surely we could find someone to handle the tightend blocking duties without spending a 3rd rounder on it. i would of looked for another OL,DE,CB or WR there.

Cottam may work out, but I like Doucet at that spot. Intangables of having another LSU guy as we're trying to build a cohesive unit would be a plus.

melbar 04-29-2008 06:58 PM
BTW I think Flowers can be a pro-bowler in this D.

Buehler445 04-29-2008 07:13 PM
I would have rather taken that kid from Cal instead of Cottam. He went shortly thereafter.

Chiefnj2 04-29-2008 08:38 PM
Nobody wants to admit they would have done it differently than the guru rated A+ draft. If we are being honest, without looking up all the picks and who was available, I probably would have stayed put and taken Otah, would have taken Brohm in the 2nd, I would have tried to address WR, CB and OL in the 3rd, McGlynn in the 4th.

1. DT Glenn Dorsey
1. OT Branden Albert
2. DE Quentin Groves
3. FS/NB Reggie Smith
3. OG Jeremy Zuttah
3. SS DaJuan Morgan
4. WR William Franklin
5. CB Trae Williams
6. OT Barry Richardson
6. QB Andre Woodson
7. DE Brian Johnston
7. OLB Erin Henderson

.

I would have probably done something similar to this. I went strictly BPA, which is why there are two safeties there, but both would be better than what we have now, and would allow us to cut/trade Wesley and cut McGraw. Yes, we lose Jamaal Charles in this, but this would also upgrade the middle of our T2 with what I think could be three Pro Bowl caliber players (Smith, Morgan and Dorsey).

Rain Man 04-29-2008 09:56 PM
Assuming the 1st round tradeup was not inevitable, I would have gone:

1a. Glenn Dorsey, DT
1b. Brian Brohm, QB
2. Limas Sweed, WR
3a. Roy Scheuning, G
3b. Kory Lichtensteiger, C
3c. Anthony Collins, OT
4. Dwight Lowery, CB
5a. Andy Studebaker, LB
5b. Owen Schmitt, FB
6a. Taylor Melhaff, K
6b. Colt Brennan, QB
7a. Chris Harrington, DE
7b. Eric Young, G

Why cut McGraw? He's a solid special teams guy, plays well when called upon, is a smart player, and a character veteran in the locker room.

i could certainly understand taking that shot....part of me still wishes we would have...hell, Green Bay has a better young QB than us and they took him...

otherwise, its just personal preference...i'm sure lots of people would taken someone besides Cottam etc...
I think if Brandon Flowers is off the board there's a good chance they look at Brohm. I made no secret that I was hoping we'd pick him up in the 2nd, but it's hard to argue when you have a guy on the board that would've went top 15 if not for a bad combine 40 yd time at a position of serious need no less.

1. DT Glenn Dorsey
1. OT Jeff Otah (no trade up)
2. DE Quentin Groves
3. MLB Dan Connor
3. WR Early Doucet
3. DB Tyvon Branch
4. C Kory Lichtensteiger
5. OG Roy Schuening
5. QB Josh Johnson
6. OT Barry Richardson
6. DE Chris Harrington
7. CB Wilroy Fontenot
7. RB Allen Patrick

1 QB
1 RB
1 WR
4 OL
3 DL
1 LB
2 CB

*scratches head* It's really hard to complain about the Draft we ended up with.
I don't think you can assume the rest of the draft plays out the same way. Taking different players off the board inherently changes teams' draft boards. Also, part of the draft is taking a player you like not knowing if he'll be available next round or even in a few picks (i.e. KC trading up 2 spots to get Albert who MIGHT have been available 2 picks later).
