Chiefs FA: What's Left? - Page 11

Micjones · 03-09-2009, 10:43 AM

(FB) Leonard Weaver, 26
(DE) Mike Wright, 27
(DT) Shaun Cody, 26
(LB) Marques Harris, 27
(CB) Leigh Bodden, 27
(KR/PR) Justin Miller, 25

I'd take four of them without blinking.
Wright, Weaver, Harris, and Miller. Justin Miller as a pure returnman could be just what this Special Teams needs. He's dangerous and can provide a much needed spark there.

I'd love to have Weaver... Especially if LJ's going to stay (I think he will).
A good young FB like that can help resurrect him. And Matt Cassel's going to need a solid running game to succeed.

I'm not much of a fan of Shaun Cody, but he could figure in if we do switch over to the 3-4.

Bodden's some kind of CB. We've got two young guys I'm extremely satisfied with, but if they just wanted to get better there...Bodden could help.

The Chiefs still have too many holes to try addressing them all in Free Agency. We're still going to need depth at several positions.

2008 - LT Branden Albert, LG Brian Waters, C Rudy Niswanger, RG Adrian Jones, RT Damion McIntosh
Backups - T Herb Taylor, C/G Wade Smith, G/T Barry Richardson

On current roster - Brian De La Puente, Edwin Harrison, Tavares Washington, Andrew Carnahan.

To improve the line, we need a center, right tackle and right guard.

Wilson8 · 03-10-2009, 01:31 PM

Draft picks - 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th round picks.
Besides the offensive line need; DT or DE (depending on defensive scheme used), ILB, WR, and OLB.

We do not have enough draft picks to fill all of our needs. If we are able to trade players we would probably need the draft pick for that position. If we are able to trade down, we might acquire 1 or 2 more picks.

So, I guess you're saying we won't be able to fill all of our needs?

Dammit Scott!

So right before training camp we'll sign 22 guys that are on the street.

ChiefRon · 03-10-2009, 01:41 PM

BTW, just heard Bodden signed by NE.

Wilson8 · 03-10-2009, 01:42 PM

So are we better off with this?
2009 - LT Branden Albert, LG Brian Waters, C Draft Pick, RG Rudy Niswanger, RT Damion McIntosh
Backups - T Herb Taylor, C/G Wade Smith, G/T Barry Richardson, OL 6th or 7th round pick

Or this

2009 - LT Branden Albert, LG Brian Waters, C Draft Pick, RG Rudy Niswanger, RT Mark Tauscher
Backups - T Herb Taylor, C/G Wade Smith, G/T Barry Richardson, T Damion McIntosh

Or maybe the offensive line coaches can work with Herb and we can have this...

You know, I'm actually starting to believe they're going with one of the OT at #3

I'll wager STL get's him first, but you never know.

That said, even CarlHerm could draft a good O-lineman in round 3( I think it was?).

Slim pickings.

They'll be making a mistake to try to field an offensive line with three players from the Center over with 2 or fewer years of NFL experience.

Hell if we were going to do that we didn't need a $14,000,000 QB.

No way.

There are SO many offensive lineman in this draft that can start immediately that it's ridiculous to think the Chiefs would take a Left Tackle and convert either he or Albert to right tackle, thus having $60 million PLUS dollars wrapped up in TWO left tackles.

Ludicrous.

Mack, Unger, Caldwell, Wood, Urbick, Johnson and Luigs are just a few of the guys that will be available in rounds 2-4 that immediately upgrade the Chiefs offensive line for the next decade.

Look for the Chiefs to trade down at least once in the first round (if not twice), acquire more picks and build the line through the draft.
