Drafting for need gets you Ryan Sims.

Of course not. But is that really what's being advocated? Assume Dorsey and Long are both gone, then what? Trade down instead of taking a guy like Gholston? I don't think so.

It all depends on what KC can get by trading down. Also, it depends on what you think of a player like Sedrick Ellis or even Matt Ryan. Ellis definitely is more of a need, and depending on Croyle, Ryan could be the answer.

Matt Ryan sucks as a top 5 pick. If we draft him at 5 overall, consider me for putting us down for 4-12 again. The Falcons will either take McFadden or TRADE DOWN for Matt Ryan.

For me, it's not about what KC can get by trading down, it's about what they CAN'T get. One of the 6 or 7 elite players in this draft. |

Sims was universally rated as a top DT. Almost everyone had him and Henderson as the #1 and #2 DTs; just like Ellis and Dorsey this year.

WE could have had Bryant McKinnie all these years and had a great LT of the future, but now we have a defunct DT playing in a completely different city playing for what's probably his last shot in the NFL. See the difference?

Expecting Donnie Edwards to play at a high level NEXT year is somewhat risky, let alone the next several. Guys at his age can break down suddenly and rapidly.

The way Edwards takes care of himself....I can't see that happening. year from year, you don't know. But he hasn't lost a single step.

He could play for 3 or 4 more years. Or he could decide tomorrow that he's not gonna take the punishment anymore. You just can't count on production from guys his age. When they give it, you thank them for it. But you can't expect it.

Donnie Edwards couldn't even play at a high level last year and you expect him to kick ass for several more? We should have never even re-signed Donnie, that said, you're looking at Gholston all wrong, you can line him up anywhere and blitz the QB on every down. He's not a situational player-think a stronger Terrell Suggs who plays the run better. I honestly think the D.T. comparasions are very accurate or Lawrence Taylor. Could we make room for a D.T. clone on our roster? You tell me.

I'm looking at Gholston for what he is...A tweaner that hasn't been asked to be in coverage much (which is exactly what he will be doing all the time in Gun's scheme), and ANOTHER DE that will command top dollar when we already have two that command enough money. No thank you... |
