What else do we have to look foward to.

Beating Washington and that brilliant Albert Haynesworth-led defense?

The potential to go 1-5 just doesn't do it for me.

I've said it before, but I think we should take RB Ryan Mathews from Fresno, if he's there in the third round. I have very little confidence in our backs, and LJ is showing his age. Mathews will be a steal in the 3rd, and I think he has every down back potential that Charles, Smith and Savage lack.

It's a good thought. At this point, I just don't see any reason to invest in a RB when you don't have an offensive line to get him holes to run through. And given how easy it is to find RBs these days (most teams seem to have 2-3 who can run well), a RB needs to be Adrian Peterson good to justify using a high first round pick, especially a top 5 pick.

Beginning of the second round, that's a different story. And I think there will be some real good players available there. But even though I hate to go in terms of position of need instead of BPA, I would much, much rather go for the top Center or Guard on the board than a RB. Unless the Guards/Centers are grossly overvalued or there is an absolute guarantee of a superstar in the 2nd and 3rd rounds, I think you have to draft two offensive linemen in those rounds.

Sorry, edited my post. I meant to say 3rd round not 1st. No, my point is that I think this guy will availible in the 3rd because of his school, but he's got great talent. Sometimes he does look like an AP type of back.

We are in a building mode so there is nothing wrong with looking ahead to the 2010 draft. The 2010 draft better yield the corner stones for Pioli's Chiefs or his tenure in KC won't be a good one.
