Chiefs Bringing In LB Sean Weatherspoon and S Earl Thomas For Visits
http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2010/3...ing-in-lb-sean

The Kansas City Chiefs are getting to work on their private visits in preparation for the NFL Draft in late April. We've learned the names of two first round prospects the Chiefs will be bringing to town -- Mizzou LB Sean Witherspoon and Texas S Earl Thomas.

Both are being reported by Scout.com (via WtexKC)

I think these two workouts are interesting because both would likely be available in the middle of the first round. Perhaps a trade down? The Chiefs are just being prepared.

A little more info on each player after the jump.



Sean Weatherspoon

Witherspoon is a local guy so a lot of people know him. He's 6'1", 239 pounds and a lot of folks have him going to the Atlanta Falcons in the first round.

I've heard him described as a better fit for a 4-3 than a 3-4.

He's rated the third overall linebacker by NFL Draft Scout.

The Chiefs will also have a local pro day for guys from Mizzou so I'm not sure how Weatherspoon fits into that.

Chiefs GM Scott Pioli went to Mizzou's game against Nebraska in Columbia last season. I remember he talked about it on one of the local radio stations the next day and mentioned that there was a great defensive player on both sides of the field (Suh and Weatherspoon?).

Earl Thomas

Thomas is coming out of Texas and is 5'10", 208 pounds.

He's generally the second ranked safety behind Eric Berry but interestingly Mike Mayock of NFL Network had him above Berry.

He's another guy that could be available in the middle-to-end of the first round.

If the Chiefs keep delaying the building of an important component of the team's foundation on offense... which is building a strong offensive line... the Chiefs won't be contenders in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2050, 3000...

How many offensive tackles, offensive guards, or centers have won an MVP of a superbowl? How many TDs did they directly score. How many TD did they prevent the opponent from scoring? If we get playmakers, who knows, we may compete this year. We are in the AFC Worst.

It's not 1970,1980,1990, or 2000. A great Offensive line is not all that important - you can win with an average or even below average offensive line. A great franchise QB and playmakers on both offense and defense is what wins games.

While I certainly don't agree with the idiot, I also don't agree with this either.

While the Steelers won a SB with an average O-Line, and the Colts went to a SB with a slightly better than average O-Line, those are not the norm.

Your best chance of winning and competing every year is to draft playmakers and to build both the O-Line and D-line.

But it isn't necessary to spend high draft picks to build those lines.
