I thought the OL class was deep? I could care less if they don't draft Nicks but cmon Jeez

You Tube is our scouting dept.

Marcus Maxey/Alphonso Hodge, Part II.

The Chiefs are picking that guy based on thinking they can coach him into the position.....that must be a Herm pick.

Either that or as a free agent.

More from Rivals.com:

6 (105) Kansas City Chiefs Will Franklin WR Missouri
Murphy: Franklin stays in-state and brings a wealth of speed to the Chiefs; he ran 4.37 in workouts. He is a little inconsistent at times with his hands/routes, but is a good choice at this point. The Chiefs are having the best draft thus far.

5 (140) Kansas City Chiefs Brandon Carr CB GRAND VALLEY ST
Murphy: Carr is a versatile small-school defender that is viewed as a free safety type that ran 4.4's at his workouts. He is a little stiff in man-to-man coverage, but has shown very good ball skills at his level.

I personally love Scandrick but he's a man guy that struggles in zone and is a great special teamer.

NFL Draft Prospect Interview: Brandon Carr, CB, Grand Valley St.
by Michael Abromowitz, 4/18/08. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie may be the consensus top cornerback from the lower ranks of college football, but the 2nd best CB may be Brandon Carr from division 2 powerhouse Grand Valley St. Carr had a successful pro day and has already met with the Chiefs and Bengals.

If the Chiefs put him at FS with that Morgan pick at SS they just told everyone..

"Our safeties are to big and to slow"

Exactly what I thought. Herm has a soft spot for CBs from small schools, and loves to give them a chance.

Comparing himself to Champ Bailey. Got to say the guys got some big ones.

I have faith in Herm that he knows what he is doing with CB's.... this is Surtains replacement for next year.

Well he's confident
