My mock with Johnson to us at 15

PHP Code:

Most overrated defensive player that would make a lot of sense for the Chiefs to bungle the pick on: 


Marcus Spears...


there it is...the kiss of death...

I truly fear that name being called in the 15 spot tomorrow...Spears isn't horrible, just a solid player that doesn't make big plays...Would be a solid pick for late 2nd, to early 3rd but a terrible pick in the middle of the 1st round IMO....Watched him play several times after hearing people talk him up in the 3 or 4 games I watched he never came close to making anything happen...He didn't get killed or anything but just very average. You don't want to spend a high 1st round pick on a guy that couldn't even dominate college O lineman.

I've heard the Chiefs front office state repeatedly they want an "impact" player at 15. As you said, Spears is solid, but not what I'd call an impact player. That's what I'm hanging my hat on, hoping I don't hear, "with the 15th pick, the Chiefs select Marcus Spears".

We should, however, be concerned if we trade back into the late teens/early twenties, because that very well could be Spears territory.

Thomas Davis is the definition of an impact player. Read up on some of his bios if you haven't, the kid a playmaker and a nasty defender. We will be sorry if we pass on him just because of the little "S" by his name.

Well the scary part is what Carl Peterson thinks is an impact player and what truly is an impact player is light years apart....And if Titus is watching, yes after 15 years of watching Peterson play the role of GM, I could do the job better.
