I'm going with the extra fifth for Thiggy, and giving up our 6th only for Alleman and Ndukwe.

1. Russ Okung, OT; OSU
- The offensive line isn't cutting it and while Berry would be great, he won't provide anything to protect the quarterback or help the RB's get holes (and if Pioli is as smart as he's purported to be, he'll take my sleeper safety listed below and get a player who is a combo Berry/Mays guy). Okung might have been the first tackle taken last year. He's prototype, with great feet, long arms and a nasty demeanor, and would allow Albert to slide to guard and provide a very nice left side of the line for the next decade.

2. Eric Norwood, DE/OLB; SC
- Chiefs will have their pick of about three or four highly regarded outside rush backers with this pick. Guys like Selvie, Hughes, Kindle have a chance to be here. But I think that Norwood is going to be the best of the bunch. Not as tall as some of the others, but he gets into the backfield in a hurry and might use his lack of height to be able to get under the pads and arms and around the tall left tackles. An Elvis Dummervil type of guy that should excel as the designated rush backer in a 3-4.

2. Kris O'Dowd, C; USC
- There's a lot of guys I'd like to take here, but if we can get the best pure center in this draft here, I'd take him. It's a position of need, no, desparation, and O'Dowd is a stud. That is, if he comes out early.

3. Dennis Pitta, TE; BYU
- A big, smart, precise route runner with hands like glue. Has a chance to be a Whitten/Clark type of TE.

4. Joe Pawelek, ILB, Baylor
- I don't know if he'll be here or not, but if he is, this is a no-brainer at a a place where the Chiefs have struggled to find a good player. Pawelek is amazingly instinctive and has a nose for the ball in both run and pass. Smart and played against high level competition in the Big 12. If you will, a poor man's Lauranaitis, but with maybe a bit more speed.

5. Myron Rolle, S; FSU
- Quit college football after graduating in 2.5 years and accepting a Rhodes scholarship to study medical anthropology. Is entering the 2010 draft upon completion of the scholarship. Was the #1 recruit in the country coming out of high school per ESPN. He's the full package at 6'2", 220 lb. An amazing athlete and, obviously, pretty darn smart. He has the potential to be a cross between Mays and Berry and could be the biggest steal in this draft.

5. Brandon James, RB/WR/PR/KR, Florida
- If he gets more action during the season at Florida and runs what he's capable of running at the combine, he most likely won't be here, but this would give the Chiefs that dedicate kick returner/speed guy that they haven't had since the heyday of Dante.

7. Kade Weston, DT; Georgia
- Like Direkshun, I'm going with a massive ACC DT, but I pick the project versus the polished as I think Tank has been playing much better this season and don't think we need to burn anymore high draft picks on the defensive line. Let's let these guys grow up and play, but bring a huge guy like Weston as a backup/development project.
