An old geezer's thoughts on the Chief's draft process. First of all, we have to trade that 2nd for Surtain. He's worth it and I really don't think Miami would accept our 4th this year and another pick in next year's draft. Would you trade Larry Johnson for Miami's 4th round pick this year and a 3rd or 4th next year. (just an example). I sure as hell wouldn't, and Surtain is worth more that Johnson.

If we aquire Surtain, I don't think we will pick a CB in the first round. The CB's are plentiful this year and the Chiefs can address their need for a nickleback in the 3rd or 4th round. I think the Chiefs will do everything they can to trade down with their #1 to aquire another high pick. With their two high picks they would hope to select either Thomas Davis (who I am beginning to think is the best possibility for a WSLB this year ) or Kevin Burnett; and a DE such as David Pollack or Matt Roth.

If they stay put at #15 I think the only logical choice would be Erasmus James..........or if they did not aquire Surtain; they would have to draft DB - most likely Rogers.

There is quality depth at DE and CB this year in the draft. I don't think there is a LB or DT worth our #15 pick.

(This is of course assuming that Derrick Johnson is long gone by the time we pick)
