Best Kept Secrets

[kccrow]

That's something I was thinking about today Sac, is this draft really that loaded? I think back over all the years I've really been a draft junkie, sort of speak, and I don't se an overwhelming amount of talent that makes me scream "best ever." I think, yes, there is an abnormally high amount of talent in this draft, but it is also highly concentrated. I think that you look at WR, OT, DE, those positions are definitely loaded up with some talent. I think when you look at the rest though, it is very, very, average. I don't like the QB class. I think the TE class has 3 prospects that could be very solid and the rest is kinda crap. I do, as a whole, really like the running backs class. I think there are about 7 or 8 backs I would realistically draft so that is a bit rare. The receivers are by and far very deep this year, which doesn't happen often, but you have to expect a turn for the better there with the increased passing game in college ball now. I think that there are a half dozen left tackles that could start in this draft and an equal number of right tackles. You don't see that every year. I think the guard class is very average, and even a bit down. There are a few really nice prospects and then the bottom drops out. The center class looks incredibly bleak. The defensive tackle class, there are some concerns. If anything, I think there are a few nice under tackles, about 5 really good looking nose tackles (good year for a 3-4 team in need), and a few good looking 3-4 DE types. but nothing too overwhelming. There almost all mid-round type of guys to me. The OLB class, if you take away the speed rushers for 3-4 teams, it has a couple at the top and very much nothing else. The same goes for the inside backers, a couple at the top and then nothing. The safety classes, yeah there is some talent there, but a lot of bust potential. I think you have Pryor, Dix, Ward, Bucannon, Brooks, Loston, Ladler, and then things get really iffy. That and most of the NFL needs a starting safety in one way or another, so they'll go fast.

Sorry for rambling, but I just don't think that it is that amazing of a draft it weren't for the receiver class, which may be one of the most talent overall in a long time.

I think this draft is :
extremely deep at WR and defensive back,
above average at running back and inside linebacker, QB (developmental)
average at offensive line, 3-4 OLB,
below average at 3-4 DE, NT

here is my short list of players I think would fit the chiefs
