I don't like the idea of forcing yourself to draft a NT just because you've convince yourself that it's your biggest need (which might not even be true) when your team has as many holes as the Chiefs do. I'm more attracted to the BPA approach, particularly if the BPA still fills a big need. Like it or not, our offense needs playmakers, our special teams needs a returner, and our defense needs help with their pass rush and another guy who can cover.

the BPA is a great theory but when you have as many draft picks as we did then you need to be able to fill both value and need.
so maybe we don't grab a NT in the 2nd ... maybe we go Linebacker (washington) or even another safety(Nate Allen).
then you go with a slot WR/KR like Jordan Shipley in the 3rd and then grab atkins or Cam Thomas.
there were viable NT's that went in just about every round for you to get value and need
Terrance Cody - 2nd round (good enough for the Ravens)
Torrell Troup - 2nd round (Bills)
Linval Joseph - 2nd round (giants)
3 nose tackles that went in the 2nd after we picked ... to teams that know defense pretty good.
Geno Atkins - 4th round (cincy)
Cam Thomas - 5th round (chargers, this could bite us in the butt)
clearly Pioli is ok with our nose tackle position so no excuses about it this year.
