The Chiefs should trade down out of the 1st round for all 3 of the Pats 2nd round picks. :)

It was a joke Francis.....lighten up.

I was referring to myself.

LMAO

Dually noted.

I believe that's the first time I've seen you tell yourself.....to......kill yourself.

LMAO




Dammit, hit "edit" instead of quote. Sorry, P23.

Welcome to the 2009 ChiefsPlanet Mock Draft.

The Detroit Lions are on the clock.

It's ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.

With the first pick in the 2009 ChiefsPlanet mock draft, the Detroit Lions select:

Michael Cra...

SECURITY!

HOW THE **** DID MILLEN GET INTO THE WAR ROOM!

*clears throat*

Sorry about that. Old habits die hard, I guess.


With the first pick in the 2009 ChiefsPlanet mock draft, the Detroit Lions are excited to select:

Matthew Stafford, QB, University of Georgia

The Golden rule of the draft is to not pass on a franchise QB unless you already have one. The Lions have nothing resembling a franchise QB, and this pick, along with HC Jim Schwartz will give the Lions something they haven't had in well, forever - solid coaching AND QB play.

:spock:

I thought you were a Sanchez guy.

Logical choice.

Flopnuts is on the clock....

Personally, I am.

For the Lions, however, I think that Stafford is the better choice.

Flopnuts PM'd me his pick last night, as to not hold up the show.

With the 2nd pick in the 2009 ChiefsPlanet Mock Draft, the St. Louis Rams select:

Jason Smith, OT, Baylor University

The Chiefs are now on the clock.

Dude...what the hell? Now what am I supposed to do for the Broncos?

*two silenced gunshots, followed by the crumpling of a body*

Well, now that we've taken care of that Conchiglie eating mother****er, I can actually get back to the draft board. Unfortunately, I can't unload Sloppy Seconds in this draft to Tampa or Denver, but rest assured, I'd love to do so.

The golden rule of the NFL draft is that you can't pass on a potential franchise QB if you don't have one. Kansas City doesn't have one. So, with that being said,

The Kansas City Chiefs select Mark Sanchez, QB, University of <del>big titted coeds</del> Southern California.

Sanchez can sit behind Sloppy for a year to get used to the speed of the game. And since we still own his rights through 2010 (barring the expiration of the CBA), we can unload the sumbitch to a team in desperate need of a quarterback.

The Seahags are on the clock.

In all honesty that is the move Pioli and company should make. QB's are the golden ticket to get whatever you want.

So... the Chiefs traded for a franchise QB and drafted another in a span of a single weekend?

Really? We used our first two picks on QBs?

Is that not the ****ing craziest thing you've ever heard?

I guess reality has gone out the window for this mock already.

No, the Chiefs brass traded for a QB, said brass was shot in the head, and the new brass drafted a franchise QB.

What's the probability of this pick actually coming to fruition? At best, I'd put it as < 3%.

Edit: Better with Hamas's execution rationale.

Right.

Because, if Hamas were even to assassinate the brass as of now, there is NO WAY he'd make that selection in reality.

He just derided the move to 3-4 for killing Dorsey's usefulness. This is the same thing.

Our first pick is a QB.

Our second pick brought in a QB.

We may have the milkman of the 2009 Draft.

It's still a better pick than Aaron Curry or an OT.

With the 4th pick in the 2009 Mock Draft, the Seattle Seahawks select.....

Eugene Monroe, OT, University of Virginia

Not a flashy pick, but this move makes the most sense. Monroe can combine with future HOF tackle Walter Jones to form bookends on Seattle's line in hopes of eeking out another year or two of decent production from Hasselbeck. With the eventual addition of Housh at WR, Seattle could have a decent offense this year.

I forgot I lived in a vacuum where you can't trade quarterbacks.

It's nearly impossible, IMO, because Pioli's ego wouldn't let it happen if he actually thinks Cassel is a franchise QB.

Drafting Sanchez implies that you don't think Cassel is a franchise QB, and is just holding down the fort until Sanchez is ready.

However, if we don't renegotiate a long-term deal with Cassel before the draft, I'd think the odds of us taking a QB skyrocket.

We all knew they were going to get a veteran backup. If we don't sign him long-term, it would appear that he IS that backup.

The Browns are on the clock.

This will not end well.

You would hate to tie a bunch of money into the offensive line, but you would tie a bunch of money into two quarterbacks:spock:

The Patriots would disagree.

That would be one hell of a turn of events.

We're building for the future but we're not going to concede the present. I'd be wholeheartedly in support of this decision.

Like I said, if I'm the GM, I'm never trading for Cassel. But since I am in this case, I'm unloading the sonofabitch after a year-long audition as a seat warmer.

It's not my fault the ****ing FO wants to ruin Glenn Dorsey and trade for a QB with less ability who came from a ****ing silver spoon offense.

Not as busy as I thought I'd be when I PM'd OTW last night. This is an obvious choice. The Rams are in desperate need of replacing Orlando Pace and were snubbed last year when Miami selected Jake Long.

Sam,

What part of "long term deal" did you not understand?

I personally think it's a long shot, but it is possible that Pioli felt that Cassel was the best option to QB this team for the next year, and that is all we're tied to contractually.

Drafting Stafford/Sanchez actually gives us the ability to tag/trade Cassel next year once the drafted QB is ready to go.

I can tell you this: If Cassel isn't signed to a long-term deal before the draft, there's at least a 50/50 chance, if not better that we go QB.

I don't see it happening, but I would too.

LOL

So if Hamas took over, he thinks the best course of action would be to trade a player we just traded for.

Nice. Your time as GM may be tumultuous.

Who EVER uses a 2nd on a one-year player?

UGH.

As opposed to moving the #5 overall pick from last year out of position. Yeah, it's clearly wild and crazy stuff.

exactly

Cassel is our 2nd rounder and basically is turning that into another first round pick. Thats not bad.

We own his rights for two years b/c of the CBA expiration, genious.

Keep up.

Again, if he plays well, we can trade him for a higher price than what we paid.

I didn't trade for Matt Cassel, why should I have some kind of allegiance to him if it's ok for Pioli to show none to guys like Dorsey, who are 4 years younger, and actually have elite talent?

You can't undo time, dipstick. It's happened. You can't change it.

And as a result, congratulations, you've just spent your first two picks on QB.

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaat should rebuild us into contenders before long.

With the fifth pick of the first round the Cleveland Browns select

Aaron Curry, LB, Wake Forest.

sorry I misspelled a word.

It'll be about as fast as making half the guys we just drafted worthless so hey.

Jimmy Johnson did in Dallas.

So, if Carl Peterson had traded our 2009 second rounder last year in the draft to move up for Chad Henne, would you somehow completely rule out the prospect of taking a QB in this situation, no matter what?

You might as well call Cleveland and ask for a Shaun Rogers-LJ trade. The Dorsey thing might suck no matter what.

And what did he get out of it?

He traded Walsh to New Orleans for a 1st, IIRC, and won a few championships with Aikman.

Terrible move.

Very horrible move. :)

Oops.

And here I thought I was supposed to reach due to positional need instead of stockpiling assets.

:banghead:

But...but....WHAT ABOUT OUR DEFENSE!!??!?!!? /true fan

So I am the Bengals and I am on the clock, we need a LT but basically you are looking at Andre Smith, AWOL man. We need a DE, we need a RB, we need Center, we need a WR to compliment Chad.

Who am I going to pick?

Crabtree

Cincinnati Bengals select Everette Brown, DE Florida State

The Raiders are on the clock.

This thread is already filled with piss and vinegar. I like it.

Trading Bledsoe was how New England got Wilfork.

As opposed to keeping the status quo and rocking out with our cocks out to 2 wins.

Sigh, I guess this is just what the board will be like for the next year or so. Lame.

Trading Montana was how the 9ers got Dana Stubblefield.

No, he didn't.

Sorry to introduce reality here when this line is going so well, but...

JJ drafted Walsh with a supplemental pick.

Walsh wasn't available in the normal draft...

He didn't cost the Cowboys an extra pick like Cassel cost the Chiefs - just a future selection.

He cost them #1 overall pick in 1990.

You realize how the supplemental draft works, right?

They bid a 1st round pickin 1989, and when they were awarded Walsh, they forfeited a 1st round pick the following year.

So, they used 2 first-round picks on QB's in 1989 and 1990.

and it was an incredibly stupid decision that people railed JJ on for years.

That type of scenario isn't as realistic now because of the salary cap and escalating rookie contracts.

I thought about Raji simply from a talent standpoint but the Raiders have tied up in insane amount of $$$ in bad DT's lately and I don't want to stack a top 10 contract on top of it.

The Pudgy Wonder needs someone to throw to. That person might be Michael Crabtree. However, he's not going to have a 40 time. And Al Davis loves his 40 times.

The choice may shock some but I think the Faders go Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri
over the possession type wideout Crabtree projects as.

Wouldn't shock me at all.

When it comes to Al Davis, when in doubt, go with the fastest player on the board.

I can easily see this being the pick.

They didn't know they were going to get the #1 in 1990. And they still had their second-rounder in 1989. It is NOT the same as spending your 1st and 2nd rounders for QBs in this mock draft.

Jaguars are on the clock.

I would honestly see them going with Heyward-Bey if that was the case. Al Davis loves fast and he loves freaks. Heyward-Bey combines those two.

You're right.

It's not the same.

It's worse.

They gave up 1st round picks in consecutive years on QB's.

The whole point of this is that unless the kid absolutely shits in his helmet in 2009, there's a good chance we could recoup that 2nd round pick by trading him in 2010. There might be a chance we could repeat what the Cowboys did and recoup a 1st round pick.

You all can call JJ stupid, but he has multiple rings directly because of that decision.

There's no way they take Emmitt Smith that high in 1990. The pick from the Saints was perfect.

Very doubtful. Cassel has established his value as [2nd rounder - Vrabel]. If he played up to 1st rounder level, why would you trade him?

He's only had 1 year of playing experience period, and teams were reportedly willing to trade a HIGH 1st for him.

He could have a very average year, and a QB-desperate team would pull the trigger.

Again, I'm not saying this will happen, but I understand Hamas' rational for making the choice he did - and I wouldn't be upset in the least if it worked out that way on draft day.

It is funny how it worked out, because in all likelihood they would have drafted PSU RB Blair Thomas, who was supposedly an elite RB that year and he ended up being a colossal bust.

Still, I don't think it's fair to say that you can't criticize this move because JJ has rings. That would be like someone telling you not to criticize the Cassel trade or Pioli's recent drafting history because he has rings. Most Cowboys fans still consider that JJ's worst mistake, and it could have cost them dearly.

Build their front seven for a 3-4. They probably have ROLB (Dumervil) and one ILB (Williams) and a serviceable NT (Thomas). Everything else plus an upgrade at NT are options.

Uh, no it wouldn't.

You're criticizing a decision that directly led to THREE Super Bowl rings.

At the TIME, sure criticize away. In retrospect, it appears he knows exactly what he was doing.

There is no comparison between that, and criticizing Pioli for a decision that we won't be able to determine as a failure or success for several years, especially when the rings in question have nothing to do with this particular decisiojnn.

You think Marcus Thomas is a NT? He seems more like an end in that system.

He weighs 305

You guys didn't hang onto Sam Adams did you?

Trading Walsh netted the Cowboys three draft picks that helped them build that dynasty.

No on Sam Adams.

Broncos had a very good NT once who was smaller than Thomas - of course that was 25 years ago... Hmmm.

In any case, I suspect Thomas will be used as a utility guy wherever they can put him, hence the "upgrade at NT" I mentioned.

Oh for ****'s sake, yes it would. You have not held back at all in criticizing the Patriots drafting, yet Pioli has THREE rings. It's the exact same f'n thing.

In regards to the Walsh move, he did not just "know what he was doing", because he actually received worse value than the #1 pick. Just because the players he picked worked out does not erase the fact that he made a poor choice and it ended up giving his team worse value.

If I get pissed at my tv and throw it out the window, only to find $1000 inside it, that still doesn't mean I made a good decision - I just got lucky.

It was a joke douche. Just for that......I'm taking a RB.
