FTR, dumbasses can be found everywhere, and some of you might find it surprising, but the All Knowing, All Powerful Gaz is one of them.

But my plan [such as it is] would be to start Thigpen, barring a tremendous showing by one of the FA QBs or a stunningly dismal preformance by Thigpen.

Although our pass rush was truly dismal [bringing more that a few tears to my eyes], I do not consider any of the DEs worthy of the #3 pick. That's how it is for Chiefs fans, ennit? The Draft is loaded when we do not need a specific position & thin when we do. Or it IS loaded with talent & we take Todd Blackledge. Gah!

Sadly, the same is true for the Offensive Line. Our OL was better than the DL, but still way below what is required to succeed on the NFL. Still, this draft does not have an OLineman worthy of #3. We will have to augment both the OL & DL from later Rounds & FA.

That brings me to WR & LB. While it seems obvious [at least to me] that LB is considerably more needy than WR, the thought of Crabtree is intriguing.

Another valid possibility is Curry. We are in desperate need of LB help & I think that Curry is worth the #3 pick. Of course, the actual Defensive scheme for 2009 has not been set [since we do not yet have a DC], Curry can play in a 4-3 or 3-4 Defense.

As of now, I would favor Crabtree or Curry [with the dedicated Defense Homer in me leaning toward Curry]. That opinion [of course] will vacillate & waver as more information comes in.

Given the current state of our team, it is a bit sad to realize that we are still going to be a bad team for a couple of years. Too many holes, not enough fingers...
