Chiefs What are the holes that need to be filled via draft and free agency? - Page 3

**pr_capone** · 09:52 PM

As I see it.

Offense:

QB - 2nd String
WR - 2nd String - Tall and Fast. We need someone who can stretch the field and take the pressure off of Bowe.
LG - Starter / 2nd String - Asamouagh may be ready... but we need all the o-line help we can get.
C - Starter - This has been a position of need that has been flat neglected for years. This should be a HUGE priority.
RT - Starter - I never thought I would miss Jordan Black.

Now, I have a fantasy that I would like to share with you. Nothing would please me more than to see TJ stay with the team but change position to FB. The guy is big and strong, he can pass block (Lord knows if he can run block though), catch the ball out of the backfield, and can on occasion run w/the ball.

Sound like any two guys who excelled for this team at FB recently?

---------

Defense:

LDE - Starter
DT - Starter
OLB - Starter & 2nd String - Vrabel is done. Either give Andy a shot at OLB or draft a starting bookend for Hali. Or both... **** it. We need bodies here.
S - Starter / 2nd String - McGraw gives everything he has each week... but he is only slightly more talented than Boomer Grigsby which has allowed him to stay on the team. Lewis looks promising but we can never have too much talent helping over the top.

If repost...

Was bowe doubled or even pressured. The faiders have good corners.

They do... but we don't play the Raiders 16 times per year.

Unless there is a legit deep threat, it will be easy for most teams to sit on Bowe and either Cassel finds another receiver or forces the ball to Bowe.

I want a DeSean Jackson on this team.

Heck with Desean, gimme Fitzgerald.

I'd be thrilled with Fitz... not a barn burner by any means tho.

I'm not saying I want KC to trade for DJ... just for them to clone him and rapidly advance his aging so that he can be ready for the team next season.

He has had an OK year on heart and guts alone.

I think this is a secondary need though. We can get away with starting Belcher for another year.

Maybe I'm wrong, or we're both a little right, which doesn't bode well.
Seems to me though, he's not being patient, over-running plays, and taking himself out of them.

As soon as it is possible, Fitz will be in KC. Bank on it.

No I know. different style of receivers. One is a barn burner the other is not. I think for KC, Fitz would be more suitable. He's big, physical, and can leap for the long balls. Cassel can sometimes throw to receivers as if they're7' feet tall.

Our top three holes are WR, OLB, and NT, and Rex Ryan wants to see us fill all three of them.
