Chiefs Post Draft assumption Picks for the #3 spot - Page 2

bowener · 12-29-2008, 08:44 PM

I'm sitting here watching Mizzou look like they are about to mail this bowl game in, and Maclin runs the punt back for a TD.

If he amazes at the combine, can we draft him?

We need a speedster and I just watched him run down the center of the field at a high rate of speed, going from 0-full speed in 1 step. I know we have bigger needs, but if somehow there are no QB's we want, and we have a trade partner for #3 that would set us around #10-13, would it be acceptable? Or, at #3 would it be acceptable?

Say he runs a 4.30-40 and shows great hands.

We know the modern NFL is geared around the passing game, he could really help us out there, of course so could a great QB.

So, for this thread, pick a player that the Chiefs could use that may not be on a lot of the mock lists yet, but might move up after the bowls and the combine.

edit:

I know a lot would fear a Ginn type situation, but Maclin is 6'1" and 200lbs, so it's not like he is a small guy who can't break some tackles.

I'm as big of a Mizzou fan as anyone, but if whoever our next GM is takes Maclin at #3, we should have kept Peterson.

Otherwise, he's gonna have to put on some serious weight to play DE.

That's possible although rush backers are generally bigger than he is, either way no matter what he's gonna need to add 15-20lbs.

I think he could get by adding 10 or so.

Harrison of the Steelers is one guy I can think of off the top of my head that is 240 or under.

And then trading away Dwayne Bowe in the process.

Why Miami traded away Chris Chambers AND Wes Welker, only to replace them with Ted Ginn at #9 overall is way beyond me.

And should also tell you that Clark Hunt should NEVER, and I mean NEVER consider Randy Mueller for the GM position.

I think Selvie is the guy who would rank out best in making the move to 3-4 OLB, of all the guys I've seen this year.

Mecca · 12-29-2008, 09:20 PM

Also if you want a WR what kind of WR do you want because I can think of some guys that will probably be in the draft that will be productive players.

He'll never make it out of the middle of the 1st round, much less the 2nd or 3rd. The guy is a freak that'll downgrade Bowe to the #2 WR position. Do I want him.... HELL YEAH!!!... Will we get him?... Not likely, we have too many needs at multiple other positions with the 3rd pick in the draft. We've got to be thinking BAA at QB, DE, and MLB.... In that order.

Mecca · 12-29-2008, 11:32 PM

Jeremy Maclin is not a 1...he'll get picked high because of his 40 time but a 1 in the NFL, that's a long shot.

So you think that Macklin is a #1 WR in the NFL and that he'll gain nearly 1,000 yards and have more than 80 catches per season?

Seriously? Those are big numbers. I think he'll be an impact player but I highly doubt he that type of NFL player.

Mecca · 12-29-2008, 11:35 PM

Maclin will be a really nice complimentary special teams player but I'm not sure that is worth the spot he's going to get picked at...he's super fast but I can name guys who are more ready to play the WR position that'll go much later.

Chiefaholic · 12-30-2008, 12:07 AM

The guy is a playmaker who catches everything near him, has blazing speed, and is AMAZING on punt and kick returns. He'll get picked in the top half of the first round and will be THAT kind of guy in the right offensive scheme and a QB that get's the ball in catchable range.

**BossChief** · 12-30-2008, 01:11 AM

If we draft a WR, crabtree is the only one worthy of a top five pick.

We should Sign Peppers, and Suggs in FA to start with....after that we should draft Crabtree in the first and Mack in the second, slide Rudy to RG, and start Herb at RT from the start of the season.

That should get our pass rush jump started s well as our Oline fixed. From there, we should trade back into the second and take the best MLB available to start for us, what cover 2 MLBs are there in this draft worthy of a second/third rounder?

Thats a start...

I'd love to see the Bears draft Maclin - I know he won't land here, but it would be cool to have him play for my red-headed NFC stepteam.
