I can't see anyone else starting at any position on the roster, injuries aside. The only other one I could possibly see being a potential position for a rookie to start is at CB, if Carr is not re-signed.

Is it so unrealistic to see 2 rookies, who will likely be high draft picks, starting?

This team needs depth. The starters on this team are, overall, very capable. The problem is the depth is horrible.

There's still the issue of NT, ILB, CB, WR, FB. We also have no depth at S, TE, RB.

With the number of snaps KC stands to lose through FA, they need to be smart about how they fill openings. O line happens to be the easiest to fill with quality this year via FA.

Even assuming we re-sign Carr, Bowe, and Belcher, we still have no NT, blocking TE, or FB.

It's a position that can and usually is filled with guys that can be found later in the draft and a position that is associated with a shorter longevity because of heightened injury potential. (Case in point - Berry. If he comes back from the knee injury and is fine, great. But what if he doesn't? Was it the right pick then? And to this point, he's been primarily a run defender and a liability in the passing game. I like the kid a lot, but let's not go annoitting him the next Paul Krause after one mixed rookie season. And yeah, he went to the Pro Bowl, but so did Matt Cassel.) How often has Polamalu and Bob Sanders been injured over their careers?

Using injuries as a reason for Berry being a bad pick is so far past dumb that I dont even know where to start.

Oh, yeah I do.

Your dumbass wanted us to draft Okung who has missed 10 games to injury and hasn't been anything special when he has played.

Berry > all of your picks
Albert > Okung

Case closed.

If we move down into the late teens or early 20s, Konz would be a damn good pick...at 11, it would be overspending.

Hudson gives us the versatility to sit back till the second or third round to pick the best guard or center available and let Hudson take over the other spot.

This. Except I think that unless we get our RT early and a stud g/c falls, we go into next season with Hudson at center and Lilja at guard.

This line has been an obvious problem since Pioli got here, and he only seems willing to add one new piece a year.

And Hudson has shown enough at the center position, at either the college or NFL level, to justify this statement?

So just assume that we resign McClain, then, by your count we're only short a blocking TE and a NT. Both of which are available in the draft.
