Shit, we might get Burfict in the 7th.

I really like what we're doing just from the perspective that if Cassel totally flames out... whatever QB steps in will have a complete team around him.

That guy is 30 lbs heavier and probably 1/10th of a second faster than DMC. LMAO

Cool. I hope it isnt just homerism , but damn I am getting really excited for this season boys.

Check out his 2010 game vs. Texas.

Great pick

That would make this a pretty solid overall draft overall, I'm still expecting a DE or a TE somewhere.

Go Chiefs.

ESPN should can his ass if he's going to be bias - Wish Billick would take the bitter Kurt Warner with him out the door.

I gather my information from proven sports journalists - not ex-coaches and ex-players. I have a hard time trusting them - that's just me.

Some Cyrus highlights

This is seriously going to be the most stacked ****ing team with no quarterback in the league. We have some serious depth now.

You get no credit since you also called for him in the 4th & 5th. :p

http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showp...postcount=3128

Makes you wonder if this team will make a move up next year for one of the QB's.

Gray is a great pick. Maybe the best value pick in our draft. Toss up with Menzie.

Thats what this offseason and draft is all about.

BJ Cunningham to the Dolphins

Burficit and Dennard in round 7. Make 7 the round of dysfunction.

Damnit! I wanted Gray! **** you Gene Smith!

Your and idiot. Gray is NOT fast, at all. Watch him PLAY, don't look at the stats. He plays MUCH slower then DMC. Still a good pick up at this point, but don't look for much speed here.

He ran a 4.47 :shrug:

We could have taken him in the 4th, and people would have been happy. We've gotten lucky on a couple skill players late.

Burflict in 7th, and I'm happy. I say just take a chance on first round talent.

Yep, It's one I voted for on the poll.

Dennard and Winn in the 7th?

Holy shit, one pick after Gray they're talking about McCluster. LMAO

It's fate.

Another damn good pick. Great 3rd day of the draft.

Chiefs stick to their board. Man.

You gotta give it to them. There's been a consistent quality to the players they've selected so far.

A friend of mine is a prospect from Iowa State. Was arrested a few times for fighting. He projects as a pass rushing OLB. We might want to snag him up just for good measure if we're considering these guys.

Tomlin just said they took Rainey because he could be used like McCluster in KC. LMAO

Mike Tomlin on Rainey: Todd Haley saw a lot of game breaking ability in Rainey like he had in McCluster in KC ROFL

I like Mike Tomlin - classy coach

Haha...This stinks of Todd Haley.

I'd be surprised. I'll expect another vet. I don't see them wanting to give a young guy a couple of years to get up to speed while the skill players all creep towards 30. They're going to want somebody they see as "safe" and ready-to-go immediately behind center. The game manager that they thought Cassel was.

Yep. After today I'm convinced the Dex pick was all Haley, not Pioli.

Must be Lattimer. LMAO

Rainey could run circles around a full sprinting Dex....easy.

Notes:

Texas prep star who made an immediate impact as a true freshman in 2008 when he started 8-of-12 games and carried 75 times for 363 yards (4.8-yard average) and a touchdown, caught 10 passes for 60 yards (6.0) and zero touchdowns and returned 49 kickoffs for 1,169 yards (23.9), including a 98-yard score against Oklahoma. Set a school freshman record with 1,592 all-purpose yards. Started 9-of-13 games in ’09 and rushed 159-757-5 (4.8) with 28-226-2 (8.1) receiving and 27-642-1 (23.8) on kickoff returns. Started 7-of-13 games in ’10, toting 200-1,133-12 (5.7) with 34-251-1 (7.4) receiving and 17-422 (24.8) on kickoff returns. Also tossed a 14-yard TD pass. Played 11 games in ’11, starting five, and totaled 198-1,045-12 (5.3) rushing, 31-239-0 (7.7) receiving and 5-96 (19.2) on kickoffs. Became the fourth player in Big 12 history to eclipse 6,000 career all-purpose yards. Has 10 career fumbles in 735 career touches (but only one the last two years when used most) and gained 5.2 yards per carry. Suffered a stress fracture in his left shoulder against Kansas and missed the final two games. Strained his right calf during 3-cone drills at the Combine and did not run shuttles.
Positives:

Good feet and nice lateral agility to make quick, subtle cuts (verified by showing very clean feet and decisiveness in off-tackle recognition drills at the Combine). Sets up his blocks and sees the cutback. Good contact balance. Effective stiff-arm. Reliable hands as an outlet receiver — accomplished catcher (103 career receptions). Alert in pass protection. Very strong pound-for-pound. Solid, unselfish teammate — maintained a positive attitude while sharing the backfield with Christine Michael and is well respected by teammates and coaches as a smart, mature, hardworking leader by example. Exhibits strong leadership traits desired in a locker room. Decisive, sure-handed kickoff returner. Improved ball security his final two seasons.
Negatives:

Lacks ideal size and bulk. Shows some hip tightness. Does not relish contact. At times wastes steps and does not burst through the hole — bounces some runs too early instead of slamming inside. Runs upright. Average finishing power and tackle-breaking strength. Not overly elusive and lacks an extra gear to kick it into overdrive. Has a 321⁄2-inch vertical jump. Inconsistent blocker.
Summary:

Productive college complementary back who projects to a similar role in the pros, as he generally will gain what is blocked and will come to work with a team-first attitude, though he does not possess unique speed, elusiveness or power, nor does he exhibit the type of kinetic leg energy or relentless compete level to be considered elite. Was not even the best back on his own team, yet was highly respected with a well-rounded skill set, will hold teammates accountable and could bring positive qualities to a locker room.

11/19/2011 (Injury Note):

Texas A&M RB Cyrus Gray suffered a stress fracture in his left shoulder against Kansas.

11/12/2011 (Audibles):

NFL evaluator: "(Texas A&M RB) Cyrus Gray is a good complementary back. I put him in the third round."

10/29/2011 (News):

Texas A&M RB Cyrus Gray had a modest day in a 38-31 OT loss to Missouri, rushing 16-58-0 and catching 6-46-1, but in the process became the fourth player in Big 12 history to eclipse 6,000 career all-purpose yards. Gray joins Cedric Benson (Texas), Darren Sproles (Kansas State) and DeMarco Murray (Oklahoma).

FYP

LMAO

Cards take Lindley

Bingo. Close family friend. Went to High School with his older brothers...my younger brother and Jake are really close. I hope he gets taken because he really is a good kid that's been caught in a couple of shitty situations. It really puts a new perspective on hearing about guys with off field issues when you actually know the player personally.

Rainey is more shifty than fast, but he is faster than Dex. I recall several times that he would break into the open field and get run down. It's like he runs out of gas.

I hope Denver's upcoming pick dies in a fiery plane crash en route to the Pile High City and never plays a down for the Donks.

DIE!

DIE!

DIE!

DIE!

DIE!

DIE!

DIE!

I used to a Haley supporter but think he can **** off and die. :mad:

Not a bad pick. But I would rather have taken a chance on Lindley.

I wonder if Marvin McNutt won't get picked..

if?

Charles
Hillis
McCluster
Gray

Not exactly the 49ers there... but that has to be a Top 5 RB depth chart in the NFL.

Seeing as we aren't carrying 4 QB's who would we cut?

OMFG. Brb. Ice cream truck rolling through.

With Cyrus Gray now in the fold, maybe we can trade Dexter McCluster to some team that signs an UDFA we had an eye on.

His stamina is lacking for sure. But it's because he puts so much energy into his cuts, he can't break away once he gets free.

Gray will be your #2, soon to be #1 when Charles is used up. I'm not trolling on this.

I'm feeling like McCluster may not have a place on this team with the Gray and Wylie picks. What is McCluster's role going to be with those two in the fold?

ESPN seems to have completely abandoned any real draft coverage

Was there ever any to begin with?

Pioli and RAC mentioned taking 4 QBs to camp if the league raised the limit which the league did.

3rd down RB/special teams I doubt he gets cut.

"We give the people what they want."

Well, they would occasionally talk about a pick. Now they are replaying Gruden's QB camp and playing interviews.

Yea that's fine but they wouldn't carry 4 on the regular season roster.

NFL Network has been superior for a while now. I can't stand the East Coast sports network.

Waterboy?

UDFA camp arm

Jets fans are the toast of the NFL. Pure class up on that balcony.

If anything that Wylie pick should wakeup guys like Urban and Copper, one of them is gone.

Allow me to fix that for you.

Charles
Hillis
Gray

We're not going to activate 4 RBs on gameday.

Get rid of them both.

Bowe
Baldwin
Breaston
Wylie
Horne

FTW

Well, **** you Danny Trevathan. Can't wait for you to bust.

A couple of the picks today have been pretty much foreshadowed by workout/pro-day rumors.... I know the Chiefs worked out Gray, presumably when they worked out Tannehill and I think I remember reading that they sent quite a few coaches to the Alabama pro day, which is probably where their interest in Menzi was either sparked or enhanced. With that said, I wouldn't be surprised if they pick up Mcnutt if he continues to fall.

Urban is long gone already, IIRC. He was a FA and no one signed him

Pretty sure interest in Menzi started with Nick Saban.

Copper has always been a solid player.

Haha....The tension between Eisen and Mayock is played off like a joke...but why do I get the sneaking suspicion that those two actually do really hate each other?

Oh, well good then.

Anyway I don't like McCluster either but he won't get cut and he'll still play even if it's 3 plays a game.

New York Jets fans are a lot of things. Ignorant is not one of them - They won't fall for Tebow nonsense. J/M/O

Raiders pick a "Who Dat?"

Thing is McCluster looked like he improved at the end of the year.

Raiders choose....
