Post Draft assumption Picks for the #3 spot

[bowener]

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.

You're nuts if you think Maclin is only going to be a special teams player. He's going to be a very good #2

I can see it now, you fockers will draft Crabtree right in front of us to get us back for Shaun Alexander..

Ugggh. I was so devastated in 2000, because I was really starting to think we would get him.

Poor SlyMo.

We should Sign Peppers, and Suggs in FA to start with....after that we should draft Crabtree in the first and Mack in the second, slide Rudy to RG, and start Herb at RT from the start of the season.

That should get our pass rush jump started s well as our Oline fixed. From there, we should trade back into the second and take the best MLB available to start for us, what cover 2 MLBs are there in this draft worthy of a second/third rounder?

Thats a start...

Peppers and Suggs?????? Good luck with that, I doubt we get either, but to get one would be a miracle. Two WR's with the first two picks....WTF, got to have someone throw them the ball. Cover 2???? Herm won't be here, so what does the cover 2 have to do with it?

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.

That's what I meant by complimentary player, a complimentary WR and special teams player.

[BigRedChief]

Everything I've heard says McCalin in a solid top 10 pick.

It would be cool to go from 3rd to 8-9th and get Maclin and a couple draft picks to boot. The returner problem would be solved and a couple of other spots could be fixed as well. No more Robinson or whoever is the pick of the week returning kicks.

Yeah, that's who Lovie kept comparing him to in the offseason, thought he would be similar to Steve Smith. He only lacks 2 things: good hands, and heart. He's just not very tough, certainly not when compared to Smith. He's got speed and he's elusive, but he gets his ass kicked constantly by opposing DBs.

I think, at this point, you can call him a failure,and the Bears (I think Frazod would agree) are better with him sticking to being a returner. The other WR, Rashied Davis, is also a failure.

In hindsight, maybe they should have kept Berrian, but I think Minnesota overpayed by a lot for him, so I don't fault them for that.

Yes lets use our first round pick to fill some of the lesser problems on the team, are you kidding a KR/ 2nd wideout!? Thats a move you make when you pick 31st. Robinson can hold his own in the return game, I think we will have more than a few surprises’ when new coaching comes to town.

Steve Smith was nothing more than a return man his first few years...give Hester another year or two...but yeah, I doubt he ever turns into Steve Smith...but they were really similar when Steve Smith was starting out.

[smittysbar]

Did Steve Smith ever have hands as bad as Hesters? I thought Smith always had good hands.

he was a starter at WR his 2nd year.

Smith was also a very good WR in college....Hester never had a position.
