The case for Cam Thomas & Sean Weatherspoon

Ok, the last time I saw a DT from North Carolina rise up draft boards as fast as I think Thomas will rise, in the coming weeks, it was Ryan Sims. I hope he doesn't go that high, but his size is rare and with all the recent teams converting to a 3-4, I could see it happening. His draft status is rising thanks to a strong Senior Bowl and he's looking like a 2nd rounder. He's viewed as a guy who could play NT or DE in a 3-4 and has incredible arm length at 34.25". I wouldn't be shocked if New England took him in the first. Teams drafting ahead of us could take him in the 2nd, if they pass on or miss out on Suh or McCoy. He's pretty solid for 330 lbs at just under 6'4".

Regarding Sean Weatherspoon; why not take him as a ILB in our 3-4? He has the size and he's getting some press as a possible at that spot, but apparently Goonther fell in love with him at the Senior Bowl so I wouldn't think he'd get past Detroit in the 2nd, especially if they get Suh in the first. I guess if an OT fell to them they might opt for that.

If we could get Berry, Weatherspoon, Thomas (in that order) I'd be a very happy Chiefs fan.
