1. New York Giants: Is general manager Jerry Reese trying to get disgruntled defensive end Osi Umenyiora to snap?

2. New England Patriots: If Bill Belichick pulled off a trade in which he managed to swap picks with himself, would his reputation for masterful maneuvering reach an unprecedented plateau?

[ Dan Wetzel: Pats move up twice during first round in a dramatic shift in strategy ]

3. Green Bay Packers: Yo, Ted Thompson, feeling a bit defensive – and does having a 28-year-old superstar quarterback impact your thinking much?

4. Baltimore Ravens: When second-round draft pick Courtney Upshaw lines up across from new teammate Michael Oher in training camp, will their biological and surrogate parents be there to cheer them on?

5. San Francisco 49ers: How happy is Jim Harbaugh that the Niners drafted a receiver whose high school nickname was "E.T." and not "Edward Scissorhands"?

6. Houston Texans: With the drafting of Wade Phillips' newest pass-rushing toy, will the Texans' defense be Mercilus in 2012?

7. Pittsburgh Steelers: Got beef?

[ Les Carpenter: Draft picks spend more time in Radio City than anticipated ]

8. Detroit Lions: If the decision-makers in the Lions' war room "listened to our board" and started speaking in Matt Millen's voice, would the team's medical staff pass out handfuls of clozapine?

9. Atlanta Falcons: Hey, Thomas Dimitroff – if second-round pick Peter Konz could play guard and center at the same time, would you have made another Julio Jones-style trade to get him sixth overall?

10. Philadelphia Eagles: After assuring offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg that Philly's plan to use a third-round pick on former Arizona quarterback Nick Foles was "a great one", was Michael Vick tempted to add, "By the way – who's Nick Foles?"

11. New Orleans Saints: When Saints general manager Mickey Loomis called in his third-round pick of Regina defensive tackle Akiem Hicks Friday night, was NFL commissioner Roger Goodell tempted to grab the phone and interject, "Yeah, we know – we've got your war room wiretapped …"

[ Fantasy: A dozen draftees bound to make an immediate fantasy impact ]

12. Denver Broncos: Will Brock Osweiler become the tallest-ever teammate to bend down and polish Peyton Manning's dress shoes before a Quarterbacks' Night Out at training camp?

13. Dallas Cowboys: What was the Wonderlic score of the Dallas Morning News website editor who posted this headline about first-round draft pick "Morrris" Claiborne?

14. New York Jets: Am I the only one who wonders whether, based on their 2011 performance, the Jets should have drafted an offensive lineman before the sixth round?

15. Cincinnati Bengals: After Rutgers receiver Mohamed Sanu got a prank call telling him the Bengals were taking him in the first round Thursday night, shouldn't Redskins tight end Chris Cooley have been considered the prime suspect?

16. Arizona Cardinals: If I'd been at Larry Fitzgerald's house for the first round of this year's draft, would he have reacted to the selection of Notre Dame receiver Michael Floyd by racing jubilantly through his open-air living room and jumping into the pool?

[Yahoo! Sports Shop: Buy NFL player T-shirts and team gear]

17. San Diego Chargers: After learning that Chargers GM A.J. Smith had called him a "mean, nasty man", shouldn't first-round pick Melvin Ingram have extended his hand and retorted, "Pot, meet kettle"?

18. Carolina Panthers: How crazy is it that this year's No. 1 pick, Boston College middle linebacker Luke Kuechly, is smaller than last year's No. 1, quarterback Cam Newton?

19. Buffalo Bills: When general manager Buddy Nix described the Bills as "riverboat gamblers" after trading up to get North Carolina State wideout T.J. Graham in the third round, why did I immediately picture this body of water?

20. Chicago Bears: Will the new receiving tandem of Brandon Marshall and second-round pick Alshon Jeffery cause more havoc in opposing secondaries, or in the Bears' locker room?

21. Washington Redskins: When the 'Skins released quarterback John Beck on Saturday, was he humming my altered-lyric version of this iconic '90s tune from his alt-rock namesake?

22. St. Louis Rams: In an effort to help veteran Cortland Finnegan mentor newly drafted cornerbacks Janoris Jenkins and Trumaine Johnson, will coach Jeff Fisher provide the former Titans standout with a Taser gun?

[ Rams' war room: Roll dice on Janoris Jenkin | Select next T.O. ]

23. Tennessee Titans: After NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock described second-round pick Zach Brown as "allergic to contact", how awesome would it have been to see Brown fly across the set at Radio City Music Hall, slam Mayock into the orchestra pit and yell "Gesundheit"?

24. Seattle Seahawks: What's more surprising – that Pete Carroll and Jon Schneider drafted a quarterback in the third round, or that Wisconsin's Russell Wilson is the team's highest-drafted passer in nearly two decades?

25. Oakland Raiders: How disconcerting is it that post-Al Davis Raiders are resolutely boring on draft day, and can't new GM Reggie McKenzie just indulge us with one ultra-swift, lowly regarded "reach" pick per year?

26. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: If the Muscle Hamster runs wild at Raymond James Stadium, will they put a large, spinning wheel next to the pirate ship in Doug Martin's honor?

27. Cleveland Browns: As of Thursday night, is Colt McCoy nostalgic for a little one-on-one time with Brian Daboll?

28. Kansas City Chiefs: Do Scott Pioli and Romeo Crennel seem overly optimistic in their assessment of the Chiefs' talent level – or am I just so pessimistic about K.C.'s quarterback situation that it completely clouds my thinking?

29. Jacksonville Jaguars: To realize value as the 70th overall pick, would Bryan Anger have to figure out a way to get footballs to explode upon making contact with a punt returner?

30. Minnesota Vikings: Yo, Matt Kalil – while proclaiming how much more Minnesota than California you are, were you neglecting to account for the possibility that the team which drafted you might soon be West Coast-bound?

31. Miami Dolphins: Does Jeff Irleand's latest rebuilding project involve replacing his best player – and, if so, why do I sense another protest brewing?

[ Jason Cole: Colts use Day 2 of draft to get Andrew Luck weapons in form of 2 TEs and a WR ]

32. Indianapolis Colts: Now that former Stanford tight end Coby Fleener has successfully convinced an NFL team he was worthy of being selected with the 34th overall pick, will he grow his hair out and lose the whole Rob Gronkowski impersonation bit?

Unfortunately, a lot of what he's written about KC over the last year has turned out to be pretty accurate. Including the last thing he wrote that outraged everybody, which was that Peyton Manning would be crazy to even consider coming here. And lo and behold, he didn't consider it.

That's pretty subjective. You're saying he was correct in saying that PM would've been crazy to consider the Chiefs? Silver didn't say Peyton Manning won't consider the Chiefs. It was pretty foolish of Peyton not to consider the Chiefs. But his ego probably wouldn't have worked with Pioli's anyway.

Silver is a know nothing POS. Like the majority of national writers.

Good post, DJ.

Really? Outside of the QB position, the Chiefs have one of the most underrated rosters in the league. Now we're building depth for that roster? Look out. Get a QB and let's roll.

OTWP's negativity cup hath runneth over.

**TimeForWasp** · 04-30-2012, 10:46 PM

I think it depends on how our new OC does. I have a feeling we will be close to being the No 1 running offense this year. I bet we run a whole bunch , to the point of almost being boring. But that will be good to keep the good offenses off the field. I don't think they will put much on Cassels shoulders.

**RealSNR** · 05-01-2012, 12:32 AM

The 28th best team in the NFL would be comparable to the Chiefs roster from 2009. That had Matt Cassel as its starting QB, and ****ing rape and shit and cum everywhere else except for CB. It was 5th in draft order, meaning it was the 5th worst, giving it the 28th ranking. Doesn't get much more clear than that.

This current team EVEN WITH question marks everywhere is better than 28. It's better than the 26th ranking, OTWP (Jesus Christ that was ****ing stupid). It's a middle-of the road team. It's 8-8. The exact center. 16-20 ranking.

Note that's WITHOUT ignoring the huge hole at QB. If we had a halfway decent starter at the position, please tell me what the **** needs improvement on this roster.

What I still think our holes are besides QB:

An elite TE
Backup safety
NT (for which a future solution has been implemented- we'll just have to see if it works now)
An elite DE on the other side of Jackson (like Cullen Jenkins for the Super Bowl Packers)

That's it. That's ****ing it. You're telling me if we get an okay-good QB like Schaub that THOSE holes are going to be the things holding us back from being a team that can win playoff games?

Get real.

Agree with all this.

Unfortunately when you have a shitty HC and a shitty QB, you get your pussies and your dicks all covered with SHEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIT!

Because Scott Pioli is an asshole.

Last place schedule. First place schedule.

You realize that only determines 2 of our 13 opponents? 2 games, out of the 16 we play are going to be determined by last year's record.

And it hardly guarantees those 2 teams will be easy/hard. Playing the last place team in a tough division could be just as difficult as playing a first place team in a weak division.

This year we play the last place team from the AFC South and AFC East I believe. Playing a team like Buffalo is not the same as playing Cleveland.

The whole X place schedule discussion is largely worthless.

**HemiEd** · 05-01-2012, 06:19 AM

The key is getting to play the NFC West, which unfortunately, only happens every four years.

If we are 6-0 it will not be because of Cassel's positive production, it will be because of his minimal negative production.

8TDs 2INTs

Micjones · 05-01-2012, 06:45 AM

The 28th-ranked team in the NFL last season (AND the year before that)? The Cleveland Browns.
They were 4-12. That's about how bad we'd have to be.
Incidentally...That's one of teams Silver is counting ahead of the Chiefs.
And they...have Colt McCoy at QB.

Can't make this stuff up folks.
