Chiefs Post Draft assumption Picks for the #3 spot

bowener · 12-29-2008, 08:44 PM

I'm sitting here watching Mizzou look like they are about to mail this bowl game in, and Maclin runs the punt back for a TD.

If he amazes at the combine, can we draft him?

We need a speedster and I just watched him run down the center of the field at a high rate of speed, going from 0-full speed in 1 step. I know we have bigger needs, but if somehow there are no QB's we want, and we have a trade partner for #3 that would set us around #10-13, would it be acceptable? Or, at #3 would it be acceptable?

Say he runs a 4.30-40 and shows great hands.

We know the modern NFL is geared around the passing game, he could really help us out there, of course so could a great QB.

So, for this thread, pick a player that the Chiefs could use that may not be on a lot of the mock lists yet, but might move up after the bowls and the combine.

edit:

I know a lot would fear a Ginn type situation, but Maclin is 6'1" and 200lbs, so it's not like he is a small guy who can't break some tackles.

Nate Davis, QB Ball State

I believe he has all the intangibles but has not faced the competition. I believe that after the bowl game, combine & workouts he will be this year's Joe Flacco.

I misread your post....I was thinking of possible steals later on in the 3rd round.

3rd pick? I'll go with Aaron Curry.

He'll be long gone by then. No way he drops past Chicago.

Drafting Maclin 3rd would be like drafting Tedd Ginn in the spot the Dolphins did.

Agreed but I think Maclin is a better receiver than Ginn. And I believe Ginn went #9, right?

why would Chicago draft Maclin when they have Hester?

Ginn was a pretty damn good college player and he wasn't in the spread...

To be frank this is a bad WR year, I don't think we should be looking at WR's this year unless someone like Heyward-Bey fell into the top of the 2nd.

Not for the Chiefs, but a guy that I've yet to see in a mock that will end up being a 1st round pick if he declares is Aaron Maybin, DE, Penn State.

I get to listen to a lot of Chicago sports talk, without a doubt WR is their biggest need, at least on offense. Hester is a complete failure as a WR; the thinking is that somebody like Maclin would be a #1 or 2 (their words, not mine) and Hester can focus more on PR/KR. Because he has hands of stone. They believe Forte will be their RB for a longtime.

Ginn was surrounded by a lot more talent. This is a bad WR year, I agree with that as well.

Yea Todd McShay has him going 5th...problem with that Aaron Maybin is very small for an NFL DE, he's like 235lbs, when he was sitting next to Maualuga at the awards you'd have thought he was the LB Maualuga was significantly larger.

**petegz28** · 12-29-2008, 09:02 PM

NO WR's or RB's in the first round, please.

blueballs · 12-29-2008, 09:03 PM

Macklin is the Chiefs' CB
I learned that yesterday

Don't you think he'd be a rush backer in a 3-4 scheme?

Otherwise, he's gonna have to put on some serious weight to play DE.
