The Chiefs have agreed to terms with linebacker Zach Thomas.

Thomas, 35, is a 13-year veteran who started 14 games for the Dallas Cowboys last season and has made 20.5 career sacks. He spent the first 12 years of his career with the Miami Dolphins.

Plus if we're drafting a project I'd rather have Maybin.

Ok I don't like him so you're on your own on that one.

No way Tank will play the nose. He's fairly heavy but carries most of his weight up top and realistically has a pretty small frame for a DT. I also don't see him playing DE because he's not long enough. If you're gonna run a 3-4 the only real option right now is to give Dorsey a shot at it.

Monty Beisel played for New England a couple of years ago and was an ILB in their scheme. I think the front 7 will probably end up looking like this:

-----------------Boone-------Dorsey-----Turk-----------------------
-----Vrabel/Rookie------DJ------Zach T./Rookie------Hali/Rookie/Johnston

I figure we'll either trade down in the first or trade some of the players currently on the roster for a 2nd and finagle a way to get ahold of one of those pass rushers (Barwin, Larry English, Sidbury etc), and pair him up with Vrabel on the other side. Tank will come in on Sub Packages and rush the quarterback.

My point was more about the fact that I'd at least prefer him over Barwin if we absolutely had to draft a project. Not that I'd be thrilled about getting him especially considering what will be on the board when we pick.

Dorsey is big enough to be NT yet Tank isn't? WTF! And theres is no way in football hell that Hali is going to be a starting OLB.

I dont get how you can complain bringing in a player for 1 year for the vet minimum. No matter how old he is, you can go no long. If he sucks, you can cut him. If he's good, he'll help mentor all the young players and he'll atleast be a stop gap for a year.

It's the whole Belichick/Parcells school of thought. Those guys are morons.

Now, the Mecca school of thought... that's where you've got something.

Its pretty easy to tell where players fit and where they don't...
