Two elite receivers?

C'mon, Mayock. That's ridiculous.

I'm a bigger fan of Sanchez than Stafford, but to say he played with elite WR's is ridiculous. Massaquoi is a 3rd/4th round pick and AJ Green was a freaking freshman, FFS. Nevermind the makeshift OL filled with first year starters.

Hardly elite.

Typically, OLB's in the 3-4 are not called SAM or Will. Some teams don't even call their 4-3 OLB's Sam or WIll. Traditional Sam or Will linebackers actually flip sides when the formation shifts, making them true SAM or WILL linebackers.

However, many teams leave their OLB's on the same side most of the game, making them LOLB, or ROLB. Similar to RDE and LDE.

While a 3-4 could technically rotate the OLB's depending on the formation and name them SAM and WILL and be 'correct'... they would not be true to the traditional sense of the description.

I think Hali and Vrabel will play OLB. I think Johnston has a good chance to be a third down pass rushing OLB. And, I think Curry and DJ would play ILB.

Well, to be fair, about seven percent of all college football players are drafted. So, a player that will be drafted is considered to be an 'elite' college football player, even if they are not going to be an elite NFL prospect.

I think the Offensive line and the defense were the biggest obstacles that he had to overcome.

I think Stafford is the class of the draft at QB.

Do you think Hali could really fill that role? If he could play ROLB then that fills a big hole. DJ and Curry would make a solid core inside.

Sure, we have the cap space... and we have to spend most of it as well. If Cassel isn't panning out in year 1 as a Chief, then Stafford or Sanchez may be ready to step in.

Just don't see spending a 1st and a 2cd round picks on QB.
I think it would be stupid to do that with as many holes as we have.
Not to mention why even make the trade if you were even wanting or interested in Sanchez and or Stafford.

I do, but admittedly, I am in the minority on this forum. Even if not, I don't think Curry fits at OLB in a 3-4. Not saying he couldn't play it, but I don't think that is his best fit in this defense.

If we can't trade down, and have to reach for a player just for taking a spot where we have a need, then that would be just as stupid, if not more stupid IMO. Look at the Chargers. They had Brees and selected Rivers. They probably could have went a different route and filled a bigger need at the time, but in the long run it has worked out fine for them.


And I am still not saying this is what we should do, but I think we should keep the option open if the Lions and Rams grab the players most coveted by the Chiefs before our pick... and a trade down fails to materialize on draft day.

Oooh! The resistance grows! :LOL:

And yet, you know enough to proclaim everyone else's selection(s) moot in the face of such "genius" as Mayock?
Please.

Yeah they HAD Brees from another Draft. We are talking about spending our 1st and 2cd round picks on one position in one draft. Those are our 2 best oppurtunities to get 2 long term starters for this football team.

Didn't the Chargers do that because AJ Smith is an egomaniac who wanted his own QB? Pioli has his guy.

Sure. I knew it was from two different drafts. But it doesn't really matter.

And again, I am not saying this is what we should do. But we shouldn't just write it off IMO either if that is the best option at our #3 pick instead of reaching for a #10 type talent that fills a need.

Is the 2009 Draft the last draft of all time?

This is how Germ Warfare germinated, DCS.

Then germinate-on! :thumb:
