Updated again today. Even though we've been bumped up from the 10th pick to the 8th, our two first-round picks remain the same.
8. Kansas City Chiefs: Calais Campbell, DE, Miami
Brodie Croyle actually looked pretty decent at Indianapolis, so maybe the Chiefs will hold off on drafting a quarterback and give their young gun-slinger a year to prove himself. With that in mind, Sam Baker and Ryan Clady become serious options to improve the offensive line. However, I don't think Kansas City can pass on Calais Campbell, the best player available at this juncture. Jared Allen may defect for another team via the free-agent market. If that happens, the Chiefs will need an insurance policy anyway.
38. Kansas City Chiefs: Barry Richardson, OT, Clemson
Let's see... the Chiefs can't run the ball (Larry Johnson averaging 3.5 yards per carry) or pass protect (29 sacks allowed in nine games). Will Kansas City finally come to its senses and realize it needs to draft some offensive linemen to replace the ones that retired? For the sake of Chiefs fans everywhere, I hope so.
The third is where things go a little more predictable than the Mike Hart screwball.
73. Kansas City Chiefs: Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB, TSU
Ty Law and Patrick Surtain will both be over the age of 32 once the 2008 season commences.
