Thoughts on last night, and looking forward... (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=227060)

nothing like tuning into kc radio and listening to Petro and his miserable crew talk about how they "kind of like" the pick of Berry

and then spend 20 minutes whining about how dumb fans are for thinking he's "going to be better than Ed Reed"...even though no fan has ever said such a thing

god Petro is a whiny piece of shit, and kc radio is a disaster....

it sounds like goth kids in a smoking pit at high school complaining about the cool kids

If I'm the Lions....I'm trading back into the 2nd round and grabbing Brown or Campbell. Suh, Best and Campbell would make for a ****ing awesome draft.

They could be planning something like that, or feel that they are close to a deal for Gaither or Jamaal Brown.

If they pull that off, they're about set. That team is really starting to draft well. But I can't honestly say that until they protect Stafford.

I actually think Clausen would make a great situation for the Chiefs.

#1 it sends a message to Cassel. This is the year he either puts up or shuts up. By drafting a QB his back is against the wall, it creates more competition in camp and it will truly demonstate how he performs under pressure.

#2 Drafting Clausen makes the Charlie Weis hiring even more appealing. What better guy to have in coaching a young quarterback who knows his ins and outs better than anyone else. In other words, Chiefs have the right coach to develop Clausen.

#3. I look at it this way, if the Chiefs draft Clausen, and Cassel steps it up by having a good year, its a bonus! Makes things better for next year. It sets the Chiefs up in a great situation by knowing you have a quarterback in Cassel and a potential quarterback in Clausen. Cassel could be a possible trade bait for a team that is looking for a quarterback? Hey you never know? And if the worst case scenario happens, where Cassel sucks, at least you have another option to look forward to with better upside and talent.

*There are a lot of good scenarios that could come out of this

I agree with all of this and would add one other thing. Even though I do like Clausen, I like the(likely) available QBs in next years draft a little better. But, if the Chiefs were to take Clausen this year they would be in prime position to get one of the big 3 WRs next year. If they wait for a QBOTF until next year, it would be virtually impossible to get one of the big 3 WRs.

I think that ****her was the best defensive puppet that Marty ever had.

But even with that, ****her did more to contain Derek Thomas than any opponent ever did.

He found a way to really highlight DT's weakness against the run, and minimze his full impact as a pass rusher.

I hope KC takes Tate with 2a. Tate made Clausen look better than he is, and Cassell could use a quick underneath receiver who could be used similar to Wes Walker.

Anyone else sold on Everson Griffen based upon all those USC linebackers from last year? I know thats a silly reason but the guy produced last year and has alot of upisde.

Your not taking Tate with #36 and then expecting Claussen to be there at #50. Someone will pick Claussen before #50.

I hope they take Clausen BRC. It's time to get that quarterback we've been missing for years.

ESPN's second round mock has us taking Bruce Campbell with our second second rounder. Any chance he is still undrafted at that spot?

That's okay. I want Tate over Clausen. KC can grab a ROT, ILB or NT at 50.

I'd guess he goes to the Raiders in the 2nd round.

If they go WR with 2a, I would prefer Benn if he is available, although I do like Tate, just not at 36. Benn is a first-round talent that was ruined in his final year at Illinois because of terrible coaching and a QB that couldn't hit water from a boat. Going into his junior year, he was projected top-10 in many mocks.
