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.

why would Chicago draft Maclin when they have Hester?

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.

I wouldn't call Hester a complete failure at WR...I think he has potential to be a poor man's Steve Smith in a year or two...he is definitely a formidable deep threat.

The WR problem in Chicago is kinda strange. They had Muhammad there for a few years and he could not do crap. He used to tear it up in Carolina and is showing signs of that now that he has returned. I mean seriously, when was the last time the Bears had a top notch WR?

He'll never make it out of the middle of the 1st round, much less the 2nd or 3rd. The guy is a freak that'll downgrade Bowe to the #2 WR position. Do I want him.... HELL YEAH!!!... Will we get him?... Not likely, we have too many needs at multiple other positions with the 3rd pick in the draft. We've got to be thinking BAA at QB, DE, and MLB.... In that order.

So you think that Macklin is a #1 WR in the NFL and that he'll gain nearly 1,000 yards and have more than 80 catches per season?

Seriously? Those are big numbers. I think he'll be an impact player but I highly doubt he that type of NFL player.

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?

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.

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

And then trading away Dwayne Bowe in the process.

Why Miami traded away Chris Chambers AND Wes Welker, only to replace them with Ted Ginn at #9 overall is way beyond me.

And should also tell you that Clark Hunt should NEVER, and I mean NEVER consider Randy Mueller for the GM position.
