"My" Rounds 1-3 picks....
05. Chris Long (DE), or Vernon Gholston (DE)...will be available, IMHO. If not, Sedrick Ellis (DT).
17. Brandon Albert (OG-OT), or Chris Williams (OT).
35. Aqib Talib (CB), Kentwan Balmer (DT) or Brandon Flowers (CB).
66. Jordy Nelson (WR), Patrick Lee (CB), or Lawrence Jackson (DE).
73. Carl Nicks (OT), Xavier Adibi (LB), or Andre Caldwell (WR).
82. Mike Pollak (C), Jeremy Zuttah (C, OG) or Red Bryant (DT).

Nice job in attempt to save your ass, Carl.... time will tell if you succeeded....heh.

[Mecca]

I like Finley, they took Lee already so I guess they didn't want another CB..

Finley is fast and has major upside.

[alnorth]

Run on TE's!

[boogblaster]

Carl knows... we know...

[Coach]

I'd be curious who to get in the 4th, since it's the only pick the Chiefs have in the 4th round.....

[Basileus777]

Who will Millen reach for here?

[Eyeoftiger]

Is Cliff Avril too small to play opposite another undersized DE (Hali)? Even considering that, how can you ignore a talent like Avril if he's there in round 4?

Finley could be good, but yeah, gotta go King IMO.

I don't think we do. I just can't believe some of the WRs going before him.

I like Morgan more as a FS. However, if he is a SS, Pollard is a better Will.

At the very least, it shows we are willing to admit mistakes which you have to do and we never did under Vermeil.

[ChiefsCountry]

Chiefs will probally go with Brian Johnson, DE out of Gardner-Webb.

Avril would probably be a tweener/role guy, but he could be a pass down end and put up some sacks.

Probably someone who they could get in the 5th round,Millen is horrible

[Mosbonian]

Here is what puzzled me about all the experts.....when Brohm was sitting there not being taken, everyone was blaming the rest of the team. But right now there were talking about Douglas, one of the receivers from Louisville, and slobbering all over him.

You can't blame him one day and then hype him the next day.

[Molitoth]

finally a decent pick by the lions
