Chiefs Take a QB in the 1st round next year? - Page 10

Alphaman · 12-22-2008, 11:20 AM

Said Dolphins LB Akin Ayodele of Thigpen, who finished with 320 yards passing, “I like him. He’s an athletic quarterback. Brodie Croyle is going to watch his back next year. There’s going to be a battle for the starting position.”

When the opposition starts to give your young QB props, you have to a moment to really consider if you need to look for his replacement. I'd really try to get Rich Gannon to come in this offseason as a consultant and work with Thigpen for a few weeks. I'd ask him to go over film and work with him on the field to work through the nuances of the game, particularly executing the boot which Thigpen hasn't mastered yet.

what I would really like us to get is a freaking leader on Defense.. can't say I care what the position is. we have NO leadership on D

So who else that high? If not Orakpo then who? We dont need a RB, WR,DT or CB imo. At least not that high.

My concern on University of Texas players is that they haven't developed well when they have been drafted.

The team needs help at every single position.

Right now I like

Stafford
Bradford
Smith

as potential "special" players.

Can say that about every team, even the best teams, but there is a order of importance you have to fix more then others.

The Giants and Titans don't have a player they used a 1st round pick on, on their offensive lines, so come again?

Demonpenz · 12-23-2008, 05:06 PM

i would take bradford or stafford if they they come out, this is the highest we are going to be drafting awhile. We are going to add some pieces on defense and Oline through FA and the draft and even if we have thigpen playing qb we are going to be 7-9 at worst next year. That is unless we have herm back. Then we will win no more than 5

Demonpenz · 12-23-2008, 05:08 PM

I think Chase patton will get drafted before daniel

How about this scenario:

1. Detroit - Sam Bradford
2. St Louis - Andre Smith

The Chiefs with the 3rd pick trade down with Miami at 20th picking up the Dolphins 2nd round pick this year & 1st round pick next year. Draft an impact defensive player with the 20th pick & another with the 34th pick...draft Nate Davis with the Dolphins 52th pick?

You just had Matt Stafford not go with the 1st 2 and want to trade down, do you want to die?

That was the point of my scenario.

A team this bad dropping down to 20 isn't a good idea either.

BigChiefFan · 12-23-2008, 05:57 PM

You guys are splitting hairs-until we see the combine numbers, Stafford going in the top 5 is pure speculation, if he even comes out. Besides that Stafford isn't the only QB in the upcoming draft, contrary to popular belief. I've never seen so much fixation on a player because of their prototypical size.
