I think you will be waiting a while for that one

The closest you will get is Carolina with Gross and Otah.

I would rather have a top 5 defense and top 5 qb than a top 5 ol.

This..... that seems to be how you build a winner... a great QB can make an average O-line look like a great one

The OL stuff is completely overblown around here, the Chiefs should be ripped for not using 2nd and 3rd and 4th round picks on offensive lineman, but 1sts no.

Agreed. This team really needs to figure out how to pluck O-Line talent beyond the first round. Or hell, this team really needs to figure out that yes, there is actually offensive line players eligible to be draft and it's perfectly fine to pick em.

I hope they actually get a good trade offer for their first round pick this year. We're so screwed right now, I don't think it would be a good idea to draft a safety with a top 5 pick. That's not what we need if we have to make a huge investment.

normally I'm with you on the safety front.... but these two are rare players and guys who you would want to have on your team... if we would have had one of them last week against the Raiders... we prob stop the raiders in that last drive and win...

The offensive line is about coaching, numerous lowly drafted or even undrafted OL become good players...maybe the fact that the Chiefs can't coach offensive lineman is the problem not the number of picks.

I also think the lack of a franchise QB has set our O-line back... you need continuity to build a great line... how long have Eli and his O-line been together like 5 seasons? I think that has a great deal to do with their success

See unlike us when our line was good the Giants are smart and have foresight..Kareem McKenzie is getting old and Diehl plays well at LT but it's not his natural position so what do they do?

Use a 2 on William Beatty so he can learn to be their LT for a year or 2 before he plays...

Usually when your rebuilding the first thing that is addressed is the OL. We won't do shit until we do address the problem. If we address it through FA then fine, but don't go that route and expect it to come cheap. I'd be fine selecting a new LT in the first and moving Albert. I'd take the best two linemen available with our seconds and if someone falls to the third that should be gone I'd take them as well.

So you're suggesting that the Chiefs use the first 4 picks in the draft on O-Linemen next year?

Is that what I'm reading?

tonyetony · 09-27-2009, 09:53 PM

If we plan on bringing in more Mike Goffs through free agency, then yes that's what I'm suggesting.
