The Chiefs Draft? Who Cares!
 

:facepalm:

Horrible thread.

This guy is a ****ing moron.

I hope we draft a decent Cheerleader for once.

um MANNING!

Print'em.

what's the matter? Too much positivity for your stomach to handle, guru?

While I don't agree with it, it's not totally unreasonable.

This draft's targets:

franchise QB
franchise NT
guard
OL depth across the board
passrushers depth
secondary depth
one more RB
FB

Seeing how there are no franchise QBs in this draft outside of Luck/RG3, this draft doesn't have the insane pressure riding on it previous drafts do.

Other than NT, we're pretty much looking for depth everywhere.

Previous drafts, including up to 2011, there were far more needs than there were draft picks.

This draft clearly does not need to be that way.

well that seals it ... super bowl!!!

rose colored glasses.

With Winston around they arent taking Reiff & Albert isnt moving to guard.

Come on man, optimism is not allowed around here.

yep ... the chances to put on the rose colored glasses are extremely few and far between for Chiefs fans. I'm going to enjoy wearing them for a couple weeks before something else goes wrong.

you go ahead and enjoy being miserable

1. OG David DeCastro, Stanford

Best guard prospect to come along in my young lifetime. He's assured to be a Top Three guard in the NFL, and will help the Chiefs finally find a way to neutralize massive nose tackles while keeping their athletic ZBS alive.

2. NT Alameda Ta'amu, Washington

The Chiefs finally take the nose tackle I love. Ta'amu is a massive 340 lbs and runs like it; he's somebody you play in your heavy packages and base defense, and finally gives this team somebody to rely on in the middle for the next ten years. Ta'amu has plenty of two-gapping potential and can collapse the pocket on passing plays.

3. OLB/ILB/DE/??? Shea McClellin, Boise State

McClelllin is less valued because he's a phenomenal player (though he is a very solid, classic Vrabel-type), and more because Crennel can do whatever the hell he wants with him at all times. Rush the dirt, drop back in coverage, stand up. He's a bit undersized, but he was a team captain and incredibly coachable.

4. OT Andrew Datko, Florida State

Datko is 2nd round talent that falls to the fourth because of an injury history. He's worth taking as a swing tackle behind Albert and Winston. He can play both sides, and do so very well. Zebrie Sanders, a 2nd rounder in this year's draft, had to play the right side for a while because Datko beat him out for LT.

5. FS Trenton Robinson, Michigan State

Extremely fast (4.4 speed), ballhawking safety out of the Big Ten. Four interceptions and something like eighty tackles last year.

6. RB Cyrus Gray, Texas A&M

The Chiefs need some depth behind two relatively injury prone RBs in Jamaal and Hillis. Gray is a solid 210 lb runner who does nothing spectacularly, but does everything well.

7. C Adam Gettis, Iowa

Undersized (280 lbs) but proficient in Ferenz's system, Pioli trusts him and so should we. He is a great run blocker but will need a couple seasons behind Hudson to gain strength and size.

Tell me this isn't a team that can make noise in January.

QB: Cassel, Quinn, Stanzi
RB: Hillis, Charles, McCluster, Gray
FB: Bannon

WR: Bowe, Breaston, Baldwin, Cotchery, Copper
TE: Moeaki, Boss, Maneri

LT: Albert, Datko
LG: DeCastro, Harris
C: Hudson, Gettis
RG: Asamoah, Harris
RT: Winston, Datko

DE: Dorsey, Bailey
NT: Ta'amu, Gordon, Powe
DE: Jackson, Gordon

OLB: Hali, Sheffield
ILB: Belcher, Siler
ILB: Johnson, Siler
OLB: Houston, McClellin

CB: Flowers, Routt, Arenas, Brown, Daniels
S: Berry, Lewis, McGraw, Robinson

K: Succop
P: Colquitt
LS: Gafford
KR: Arenas, McCluster
PR: Arenas, McCluster

We aren't drafting a QB.

Daboll/Crennel probably wanted Quinn.

Stanzi and Cassel are products of Pioli.

I doubt we go into the season with 4 qbs.

Draft a QB with one of the first two picks and I will be happier.

what?:spock:

Direckshun, as long as Cassel is the starting QB, this is not a team that can make some noise in January.

I could live with that as the first two rounds. I think most the people screaming that you don't take a guard in the 1st would be quieted by the 2nd round selection.

It should be a good draft to develop depth... next year go all out for franchise QB. Barkley, (or whomever arises out of nowhere ala RG3)

Sanchez? Alex Smith? Joe Flacco?

Cassel's not taking us to the Super Bowl. But a win or two in the playoffs is not beyond the realm of possibility.

For me, the NFL Draft > Christmas.

Seriously.

**** this guy. I'm murdering his entire family.

Those guys are mediocre QBs, no question.

Matt Cassel is worse.

they need to move it back to saturday so i can get drunk all day and yell at the tv

I'm the same.

Why the **** are we that way?

Because we are Chief's fans... that's our superbowl.

Really?

The 2010 Matt Cassel is worse than Sanchez or Alex Smith?

I'll give you Flacco, because Flacco flashes sometimes.

But with a run game, and Cassel in his 27/7 form, and he is every bit as good as both players.

It's the only time that you can be assured I will be taking days off.

Already scheduled.

yeah this.

i'm tired of backups.

yeah, but we aren't playing the NFC West this year. :)

I disagree.

No one, not even Brady Quinn shits his pants at imaginary pressure like Matt Cassel.

And those guys can actually throw a decent intermediate to deep pass.

I liked it better before they changed the format to 3 days but I love the draft.

Wrong. Pioli has stated over and over he wants to draft a QB every year.

as long as Manning isn't in our division, our running game alone will get us to the playoffs (if JC fully recovers) but there is 0% chance to actually win a playoff game with Cassel.

Quinn was drafted in the 1st round ... super bowl!!!!

link?

Is he going to cut Stanzi after one year?

Is he going to cut his golden-boy?

Is he going to cut the one guy familiar with Daboll's offense, Quinn?

Is he going to go into the season with 4 qbs?

1. Wings, beer, and chips & salsa > Christmas roast and fruitcake
2. Sitting on the couch for an entire weekend with my pants off > sitting in a stuffy room with dress pants and a sweater
3. Less expensive. Don't have to shop
4. Don't even get me started on the difference in quality of TV programming
5. I'm drunk with my friends instead of being polite to relatives

Christmas is great. Don't get me wrong. But it just can't compare.

We haven't improved our team much. 3 of the 4 we've signed are white guys. That just doesn't work in the NFL unless it's the Patriots.

Regardless of what you think of their overall body of work, at least we've seen each of those guys make clutch plays at clutch times to win those playoff games.

When in three years, have we seen Cassel make a clutch play in a big game?

Wouldn't know where to chase it down but I have seen him state that in several different interviews.

Quinn will end up being released. Watch.

All the more reason they need to draft a QB in the first two rounds.

Niether of these will happen.

Clarkoli are not going to flush $$ down the toilet.

Good lord, you are one stupid mother****er.

Direckshun. I would like this draft a lot. I'm not too enamoured with you 3 and don't want an undersized O-lineman at all. Have seen enough of pass rushes over the middle.

Your first two rounds rock though.

Methinks he was joshin'.

I just have this gut feeling that we'll draft a rookie in round 1 or 2 (Tannehill or Weeden) in rounds 1 or 2. Quinn will go into camp with Stanzi as his only legit competition for a starting position while the rookie sits for a year learning the offense and adjusting to the NFL.

Depending on where Tannehill falls, we could take him at #11 or trade down 5-6 spots and take Poe #1 then Weeden in round 2

Nostradumus.

;)

Methinks he's a passive-aggressive bleeding vagina.

No, actually, I don't think that at all.

I know it with absolute certainty.

:thumb: . I like to see positives on this website. . been lurking on here for 3-4 years without an account just watching some of the threads. I think it is foolish for people to call this thread worthless. I, although would have gone a bit harder for soliai and one of the FA qb's . That being said this was easily the best Free Agency period we have had since god knows when... good thread .

I think we will draft a rookie in all rounds of the draft.

N00b ALERT!!!




Just kidding. Welcome aboard. :)

Unless we draft grandpa Weeden.

the chiefs will never go after Peyton Manning
the Chiefs will never pay enough to get Winston
the Chiefs will never sign any real free agents
the Chiefs will never draft a safety that high in the draft

How dare you, sir? You just lost your CP card. Positivity will not be tolerated here.

We've addressed every need we have outside of depth at CB/0T/OG/ILB and a huge need at NT.

Our QB is complete dog$3it and nothing will be done to address that. Rolling with a $3itbag here should be a given.

Unfortunately.

Given these weaknesses and where we're drafting I go against my own beliefs and take the Mauler-guard. I can't help it.

I go true-fan here and lock up this line for half a decade...

Chiefs won't win a playoff game this year? :grovel:

If we win the division, we'll be hosting someone from the AFC North.

Could be the Bengals.

I think you'll see our QB drafted in later rounds by the name of Chandler Harnish. Quinn , Harnish and Stanzi will battle out for the two backup spots to Cassel.

Hopefully Cassel gets hurt really bad on the opening play in the preseason and we figure out who our future QB is gonna be.
