This will help in scouting him, knowing that the rest of his supporting cast didnt just make it easy for him. I wanna see Mays own the middle of the field.

Just watch...especially at about the 20 second point.

Im already excitied about next year. It will take too long to get here.

Want to see him more in man coverage. Cover a drag route. Think a poor broad jump at the combine hurts his stock. Have no doubts how he plays the run, he is the ultimate downhill safety, but what happens when he needs to recover?

[RippedmyFlesh]

He hits like a linebacker. WR's have their head on a swivel making sure they know where he is.WR's would get alligator arms with him back there.

Some UDFAs still available I think we should consider.

Philip Hunt - DE - Houston
Jose Valdez - OG - Ark.
Chris Baker - DT - Hampton
Dannell Ellerbe - ILB - Georgia

Also found some videos of Taurus Johnson who we already signed and he looks pretty impressive. I think he could potentially be a good WR for us.

[Coach]

Any word on Antonio Appleby, an OLB from Virginia? IIRC, didn't he play in a 3-4?

Damn. I think he would have been a good addition for the 3-4 that the Chiefs are trying to deploy....

Denver trying to get MVPs younger brother.

Rams pick up Roger Allan.

Everson Griffen will be a great edge rusher and Carlos Dunlap will be a man-child beast of the Mario Williams build, but neither fit well with what we're moving toward.

This sucks.

I'm a big Dunlap and Mays fan. That was the big reason I was upset with the switch to 3-4, we won't be looking at Dunlap

[Sure-Oz]

Did jeff wolfert get signed? being the most accurate ncaa kicker id like to think so

[T-post Tom]

Speculation that Javon Walker could be on the way out in Faiderville. Would this be a good pickup for the Chiefs?

Raiders | Walker on way out?
Mon, 27 Apr 2009 07:06:24 -0700

Jerry McDonald, of ANG Newspapers, reports Oakland Raiders WR Javon Walker finds himself in a precarious situation after the team selected WR Darrius Heyward-Bey and WR Louis Murphy in the NFL Draft. However, Walker is guaranteed $4.6 million over the next two seasons, which should keep him on the roster for now.
