There goes Caldwell. Great value for Cincy if they don't have Ocho Cinco.

Nah we're top of the 4th, take BPA guys like Adibi and King are still here.

Probably where a guy like him needed to go. So he can sit on the bench and learn for a few years.

What positions do they play?

If not OL or WR then we need to pass. We have to protect Brodie and give him some weapons

If you haven't caught on to the theme of this draft for the Chiefs, it's BPA.

Don't look for them to start reaching for need now.

KevB · 04-27-2008, 09:44 AM

Still a lot of value on the OLine --- Cousins, Nicks, Collins, Scheuning, McGlynn

Mecca · 04-27-2008, 09:44 AM

If the Chiefs take Adibi or King with this next pick those guys to me are 2nd round values.

And BTW, the upsides of "coaching" isn't really an upside....how many QB's have we seen drafted that were labeled as just needing coaching who are nowhere in the NFL. Also, his arm is not that good.

Definition for Broadie Croyle,

"slow for a QB in the NFL, gets nervous in the pocket, and doesn't read defenses well. Many times he did the same thing that we bash other QB's for and that is he forces the ball into coverage."

LB and CB.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 04-27-2008, 09:45 AM

Caldwell to the Bengals.

Two WRs off the board to them. Restocking the cupboard. Now if they hadn't been a tard, they could have offloaded Chad and gotten Mike Jenkins or Mendenhall with the 'Skins pick and another high pick.

What a terribly-run franchise.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 04-27-2008, 09:45 AM

DeCoud is a badass pick.

chiefs1111 · 04-27-2008, 09:45 AM

Falcons take Decoud from Cal

Adibi is a WLB and King is a CB.

Both positions are a need for this defense as well, IMHO.

Mecca · 04-27-2008, 09:45 AM

I just disagree Dirk, the Chiefs need to continue to take the top values and restock the entire team.
