Since findthedr has failed to post the actual update:
5. Kansas City Chiefs: Jake Long, OT, Michigan
Before I move on, I'd like to let you know that my 2008 NFL Free Agents List has been posted.
Matt Ryan is an option here, but Brodie Croyle is young and has looked semi-decent at times, 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, Jake Long is a no-brainer. Kansas City cannot afford to surrender 55 sacks against next year. That will change with Long anchoring the Chiefs' offensive front.
35. Kansas City Chiefs: Early Doucet, WR, LSU
I thought about Tracy Porter here, but Early Doucet is too much value to pass up. Plus, it's not like the Chiefs don't need a receiver; the Chiefs have nothing at the position after Dwayne Bowe. As a rookie, Bowe recorded 995 yards. Ranking in at No. 2 was Jeff Webb, 313 yards. Yeeesh.
66. Kansas City Chiefs: Patrick Lee, CB, Auburn
Ty Law and Patrick Surtain will both be over the age of 32 once the 2008 season commences.
101. Kansas City Chiefs: Heath Benedict, OT/G, Newberry
The Chiefs and Newberry logos look the same, so this pick makes a lot of sense. All kidding aside, Kansas City needs to keep rebuilding its offensive line. Heath Benedict can play multiple positions up front, so the Chiefs would really benefit from drafting him.
I think this would be an excellent draft.
