Draft

1. David DeCastro, G, Stanford
2. Dontari Poe, DT, Memphis
3. Nate Potter, OT, Boise St.
4. Ladarius Green, TE, Louisiana-Lafayette
5. Tavon Wilson, SS, Illinois
6. Russell Wilson, QB, Wisconsin
7. Bob Hebert, C, LSU
7b. Davin Meggett, RB, Maryland

Russel Wilson? Really? Complete failure.

You're worried about a sixth round pick? Guy is an athlete and a leader. If he were bigger would probably project higher. For a project #3 starter you can't ask for much.

He's not just short. He's awful in the pocket. You can't get much closer to a wasted pick than Wilson, unless you are looking at him for a different position.

I will take a blown 6th on a QB that will never play in the NFL over a G at 11. Good grief...

Whatever we do this offseason, whether in the draft or free agency, we do need to address the second RB position.

Even if Charles comes back at 100%, he can not be expected to carry the load.

And you can not expect a 7th rounder to be the guy to share the load, and Jackie Battle is not the answer.

Why do these mocks keep having us taking a guard at No. 11/12? Horrible positional value, if we are going to do that, we need to be trading down.

Taking a guard at #11 is like taking a 3-4 DE at #3. The value just isn't there. Even a RT at #11 is a terrible value. But it wouldn't surprise me if Pioli drafted a G or RT without trading down.

I hear that answer every year. Just trade on down. Must be real easy to do that. Who do you think the player is that will get to our spot that everyone wants to move up for. Don't mention moving down. Its a lazy answer. Plus you don't give your own alternatives.

Even so, taking a G? We don't even really need a G. Just getting Wiegmann out of the middle can hold us for a year. Lilja still has 1 year left on his contract. BRich on the other hand needs to ****ing go, yesterday.

NO WAY we cut Piscawhosis.:spock:

I know DeCastro is one-of-a-kind and all.

But jesus ****. Guard. A god damn ****ing guard.

New England has no problems doing it.

Nor did McDaniels with Denver.

FA: Carl Nicks

Also, wouldn't be surprised to see Cortland Finnegan or Brent Grimes brought in for a look if a deal with Carr goes south.

People make too much out of positional value. At the end of the day if you get an excellent player, it was a good pick. How hard did everyone laugh when the Raiders took a kicker in the first. He's won many a game for them.

New England is almost always at the end of the first round dealing with teams that want to move up from the 2nd. Easy to do considering they don't expect players to come in and start for them near the tail end of the first round.

To move down you have to have a player that other teams covet at your spot while not moving down to where the player your team covets would be picked. I hear people yelling trade down all the time.

Yeah, Lilja was great last year. A young DeCastro definitely would not be an upgrade.

I agree.

I could give two shits about positional value.

BPA all the way.

Positional value can suck it.

Missed the point entirely...

Wiegmann and Lilja weren't great but Wiegmann, is hopefully retiring and Hudson is taking over. Now you've got Richardson over there at RT who couldn't block for a high school team. So you are looking at replacing Lilja, who has 1 year left, or Richardson, who's a FA, and you have seemingly equal value at both positions likely on the board and you choose to replace Lilja...

I'm not wanting to draft Trent Richardson in the first but I'd take him all day over DeCastro.

He's a dick, alcoholic, and loose cannon, during one season off memory he had a seizure because he took too much Ecstasy at a night club.

I know some aren't big on Richardson and I'm not really high on him myself, but I ask myself, when discussing a potential draft pick, which one brings more to your team?

I think Richardson brings more to the Chiefs than DeCastro.

Think about it this way, if a rb with Richardson skills hits free agency ala Ray Rice or Matt Fotrte and a guard of Decastro's skill set, which one would teams rather pay big money for?

If we can make a move to improve the team, make it, whether its for now or one year from now. I think the biggest team need we can draft for as a starter is at RT but the option at #12 is to draft a LT and move them over to right which from what we saw with Gaither isn't always a good move. The top RT is somewhere in the neighborhood of a round 2-3 pick. I think another pick here, though it would be a bit of a reach at #12 is Don'ta Hightower but that I would only do if not resigning Belcher.

Gaither didn't play. That's either because of Haley or Gaither truly did refuse to play RT.

Just to name a few college LT's that were recently drafted and play RT now... Bulaga, Oher, Solder. All I can think of off the top of my head.

Many RTs in the league were tried at LT and failed and moved to LT. You draft high to get an LT and when that doesn't work, move them to the right side. Many were saying we should do that with Albert.

Most reports I saw on Gaither as to why he didn't beat out Richardson was that he couldn't make the transition. You can't assume they will always be able to make that transition.

some guards have broken the bank lately, iirc steve hutchinson was one of the first.

I would say top 5 guards get more than top 5 RBs if I had to guess.

When was the last blockbuster fa rb signed? I mean by another team.
Posted via Mobile Device

I'm not sure those reports about not being able to make the transition are accurate. He played half of his college snaps at RT.

We have a good LT and shit at QB. Drafting to replace a good player trying to cover up the shit is dumb.

The fantasy of drafting a "franchise" LT around here is reeruned.

Has anyone interested last week or even month suggested this?

The OT picks you see in the first round are taken to play RT. This last season buys Albert time to continue to grow at LT. Even with the fans.

The more I think about it if the 1st round pick is Trent Richardson then it's a total Pioli ( to keep selling Cassel as a "good" QB) pick but if it's Poe then of course then it's a Crennel selection.

Read the posts above mine.

:hmmm:

Me thinks you should read the posts above yours.

Nobody is saying to draft a LT. Period. They are talking about drafting a RT at #11/12. So your "franchise LT" comment is dumb.

Also, the sooner you eliminate all other possibilities of failure, the sooner they will point the finger at Cassel. Hopefully, by that time, Stanzi's developed into something resembling an NFL QB.

Agreed.

We need a RT.


Take the best RT in the draft who actually played RT in college and a guy that could be had in the second round.

Massie from Ole Miss.

I missed the Gaither reference, my bad.

Eh. Some draftniks are scratching their heads wondering why he declared early.

probably family issues

Massie seems to have a very professional attitude. Found this really positive story.

good read! rep!

Dont like taking a G at 11, but DeCastro's shelf life is longer than Richardson. 11 next year most likely gets us a QB, but we will be healthy next year and pick in the mid 20's. such is the life of a Chiefs fan.

Tribal Milan, the draft whisperer folks.
