Who are you talkin about?

OLB's are not worth top 5 picks.

Especially coverage LB's.

Exactly, and Crabtree is slow, played in the spread, and is not nearly as athletically gifted as Larry Fitzgerald or Calvin Johnson, so is not a top 5 prospect either.

Maybe in most drafts a LB wouldn't be a top five pick but in this draft because of the lack of top end talent there very well may be a LB top five pick. Never say always and never say never!

I hope Detroit drafts safe like Miami did last year and we get Stafford.

What lack of top end talent?

Curry is behind both QB's, and all 3 OT's in my book. As well as Maualuga and Jenkins.

It looks like it's lacking in talent because we're not picking a tackle that high again, and 3 is too high for Maualuga as well.

So, just like Mecca said, Stafford, Sanchez and Jenkins are the only picks worth it to KC at 3.

There are plenty of OTs in this draft that's for sure. I wouldn't be upset about drafting Jenkins even though I like our young CBs. Hell I wouldn't freak out if we drafted the best OT.

Still my want is Stafford.

I will flip shit if the Chiefs take Malcolm Jenkins 3rd overall.

I wouldn't be thrilled with it, but he's better value there than anyone else, assuming both QB's are off the board.

Sanchez either goes to us or late teens/20's in every draft. NFL Live was saying again that because of Ryan and Flacco teams are gonna reach for QB's who shouldnt be drafted so high.

Curry is a 5 star prospect on every evaluation I've seen thus far outside of the QB at all cost crowd on this BB. He's also being called the best LB prospect in years. I really think people are dogging him to bolster their QB at any cost argument.

I think anyone with a brain wouldn't chose a cover linebacker with the number three overall pick.

You want to take a player at a position, which, historically, is only successful 30% of the time? Cornerback is the most overrated position on the field bar none, and with the refs enforcing interference more, it would be a complete waste, especially considering that the Chiefs basically stole Flowers in the second in last years draft and Carr panned out as well as he did.

I want a QB in the worst way, specifically Stafford or Sanchez, but I'd most certainly take Curry over Jenkins at that spot if it came down to the two. And I would definitely take Monroe or Oher over anyone other than the two QB's previously mentioned at that spot.

And I suffered enough through the Kawika Mitchell years to even think about considering Maualuga. I'm pretty much done with overly aggressive "physical specimens" who over-pursue and basically take themselves out of 80% of the plays.

And there is something to be said about Curry being viable. Chiefs need a real LB in the worst way possible, and all the pundits think Curry is the real deal. Most say he is better than Pat Willis was, and I thought Willis kicked some serious ass for the Niners. I hope to the powers that be that we get one of the two QB's, but I wouldn't be kicking the dog if Curry ended up our guy.

Stunning response OTW. You put a lot of thought into that one...

heh. sometimes the best material writes itself.

Exactly.
