The 3rd round picks and the one at the top of the 4th
 

Could be huge if the Chiefs can hit on those picks. Should be a few good Gs and Cs available. This draft is suppossed to have alot of mid round talent so here's to hoping that we score.

PhilFree:arrow:

In my ideal world, we'll go for a third rotational DE (Chris Ellis), some interior line help (Eric Young), a great deep threat (Eddie Royal), and a perfect Cover 2 corner (Trae Williams).

Tab that with the first two rounds like this and you have a damn fine draft.

1a. Chris Long/Sedrick Ellis
1b. Chris Williams
2. James Hardy/Antoine Cason
3a. Chris Ellis
3b. Eric Young
3c. Eddie Royal
4. Trae Williams

I'd like to see us package one of the 3rd with one or two of our late round picks to move into the 2nd.

This draft is pretty deep and it looks like some good talent may end up falling out of the 1st round.

:grovel:

Man I really don't like James Hardy...

I would package one of our 3rds with #17 to move up in the first round.

6'6", 4.4 speed?

We've had eye witness accounts on this board who say he's the real deal?

Solid production against solid competition?

What's not to like? I'd be nothing short of enthralled if he made it to us -- which he won't.

I don't believe he even remotely plays at 4.4, I've seen them play several times he never separates. To me he is like a TE as a WR he makes plays on the ball because of his size and strength to take it away not because he separates.

I think he's still going to have that massive size advantage in the NFL.

Well then you could take out James Hardy and put in Antoine Cason....and it would still be an amazing draft.

One of those 4 picks would look good on Jerome Simpson. Also would like Zuttah and or Rachel for Gs and Godfrey as a CB.

PhilFree:arrow:

I've seen plenty of big guys not make it, if you can't separate in the NFL you will struggle.

Long or Dorsey + Williams or Clady in the first would be perfect.

I still say it's worth it. The speed that tanks your big guys is in the Jarrett/Sweed range. Hardy covers more ground than both of them in less time. He can make it.

Best thing about him is that Indiana's not a football factory. He's got loads of upside with route-running and finding space.

I'd be happy with Long/Dorsey/Ellis with our first pick. I don't want Clady though.

Isn't Indiana in the Big 10? :D

Clady's good value at 17. If he's there the Chiefs WILL pull the trigger.

I bet he ends up in Denver, though.

I honestly never watched an Indiana game, but I've watched several videos of the guy. I was skeptical, but I'm a believer at this point. I understand these videos are the highlights, but he seems to play fast enough given his size. I think his size makes him look slower than he actually is, a little Randy Moss-like. I'd love to see him become a Chief with that 35th pick.

He's going to the Steelers anyway, Ben basically demanded a big WR.

I'd say it's a little Moss-like. Moss has incredible strides and just glides effortlessly. Hardy is more of a power runner.

But the comparison is between tall receivers who run fast. I'd take it.

Wouldn't surprise me.

I doubt he falls past the 49ers. It's a pipe dream that he gets to us.

I was going to say that too. Hardy is perfect for the Steelers, they have the speed guy in Holmes and the slot with Ward and then Hardy.

What if they decide to take Quentin Groves with their 1st round pick?

He's fallen some apparently, it wouldn't surprise me but they need O.

Then he's on the fast track to KC.

Highly unlikely, though. And if they took Hardy over Groves, Groves will be snatched up in a heartbeat by Miami.

If we can get one solid starter out of those picks, I'd be quite happy.

Awwww...

We should snatch about 4-6 starters out of this Draft in 2008.

Wouldn't surprise me if two handfuls of them were starting by 2010.

Can you hold a DT in two hands?

I watched the NFL Network last night, and they said that Jimmy Johnson got 9 starters out of 2 drafts in the early 90s, or 4.5 per year. It was rated the 2nd-best draft in the history of the NFL.

Perhaps we'll get more starters than average just because we have enormous, gaping holes at RT, RG, WR, CB, and DE, but I'm not convinced that we can beat the #2 draft classes of all time.

That's why I think they pass on Hardy and grab Groves. They know damn well that Miami will take him at the top of the 2nd. If they grab Groves...they can address WR in the 2nd or 3rd round. Plus with Martz as the OC....won't they be looking for more explosive WRs instead of tall possession types.

I am in no way calling Hardy either of those. I don't know a lot about him.

Most of those guys ended up being pro bowlers.....it's the level of the starter.

Hardy is a bigger Marcus Colston

As a long sufferung Chief fan, I have every confidence that these guys will **** it up.

Shutup already, you're pissing in our Cheerios over here. :cuss:

With how loaded this draft is, we have the opportunity to do some amazing things.

Good callROFL
