Hey Walter,

Well, as you know, the Chiefs are desperate at every single position at OL except for Brian Waters, so I wouldn't be surprised by at least two first-day picks for OL alone. (For the record, I'm going by the old knowledge that "first day" = "rounds 1-3.")

The Chiefs are also pleased by Bowe, obviously, as a true #1. Webb's the only other WR this franchise is interested in keeping, as Kennison is half-expected to retire and Parker is fully expected to be released. Webb's no #2, though, so a first-day pick at WR isn't out of the question.

The Chiefs have Alphonso Boone doing a good job at DT, but Ron Edwards should be a backup guy, and Tyler and McBride, both high-round picks in 2007, have done next to nothing. DT remains a sore area of need.

OLB also isn't entirely out of the question if a guy of great value pops up, to replace Donnie Edwards in a couple years.

And I'm with you: if Brodie Croyle continues to show nothing, the Chiefs should draft a stud QB in the first. But Herm will probably stick with Croyle, and if he doesn't I suspect he'll (gulp) pick up Pennington in FA.

Thanks for keeping an open mind.
