For those wanting a WR in the 1st round.....WHY?

So we draft a CB, or DE, or DT, or Thomas Davis.....

A WR is not a priority on a team that finished 1st on offense and last on defense.

On the other side of the coin, how many of the losses came at a touchdown or less? 6? How many of them would a couple of 3rd down conversions by a receiver have changed?

The argument is simply that you can't rest on your laurels, and must continue to try to improve if you want to remain as successful as the Chiefs have been on offense. Our WRs are a year older, the OLine is a year older, Green may not be afforded the time he's had in the past to find open WRs who take longer getting to their spot, etc.

Having said that, I'm not suggesting we should take a WR. But I do understand that line of thought after adding Surtain, Bell, Knight and Hall. I'd still prefer we take the best defender on the board.

Why?

Because that's the only shot we'll have at Matt Jones (EP, Arkansas), and everybody wants Matt Jones!

Because within the next 2 years we will probably have to draft 2 WR's, 2 OL, a QBOTF, and maybe a RB, depending if LJ wants to stay in K.C. We can't let all of that catch up to us at once like we did with the D. Oh yeah, and a Full Back.

The consensus on here is that this year is our last realistic shot at a Super Bowl for at least a few years. So why should we be worried about depth on offense right now? I want to win a Super Bowl, not worry about being competetive two or three years from now.

We have 1 year left with this coach. And face it, our offense is old at SEVERAL positions, drafting Mike Williams wouldn't make a dent.

We need to load up for a run THIS YEAR.

BINGO

Well I am all for defense and trying to win it this year but the reason why WR is badly needed is simple...As soon as this O Line falls apart, which is soon with a Shields and Roaf retirement nearing, we won't run the ball any where near the way we do now and when that happens our passing game won't be opened wide up to where we can get by with 2nd and 3rd rate type of players like Morton and Kennison. At that point we will need legitimate play makers out there to keep from looking like Baltimore's passing game.

I do agree with you and easy81 about the one year window, but what rookie will enable us to win a SB? If DJ is there, I would want him, but no other LB is worth the 15th pick. A CB will probably be a nickle for most of the year. And a DE would fight it out with Allen/Hicks. DV just doesn't seem to have a track record for putting in rookies from the get go. Now don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind a D player at all, but I would think that a lesson was learned about not paying attention to one side of the ball. I guess it would just be nice if we could trade down, pick up a LB at the bottom of the first and then a WR/OL with the 2nd(hopefully) that we would get in return.
