Yup. In years past, we would've taken this guy in the 3rd or 4th.

There's gona be alot more, this team has gotta sign about 20-25 UDFA's

Direckshun · 04-27-2008, 03:05 PM

I think this last pick has to be OG, but who knows.

We're just so skinny along the interior I'd think we'd have to take one.

But let's examine our needs:

QB -- ???
RB -- check.
OT -- check.
Interior OL -- check.
OL depth -- ???
TE -- check.
2 WRs -- check.

DT -- check.
DE -- check.
DL depth -- ???
OLB -- ???
MLB -- ???
S -- check.
2 CBs -- check.

K -- ???

KR -- check.

There is more value at LB right now than OG or C.

Mecca · 04-27-2008, 03:07 PM

The Chiefs may take Young from Tennessee and then think they can sign Keith due to that school being somewhat close to here.

recxjake · 04-27-2008, 03:07 PM

I hope he takes 69

I think Henderson and Highsmith are gonna go undrafted which means....the Chiefs better sign them both in .2 seconds.

They've done a hell of a lot for one offseason. This team could be competitive (in a playoff sense) in 2009.

We should just go BPA. We can fill the rest with Undrafted Free Agents. You would have to think this team is pretty appealing for a rookie free agent.

rrl308 · 04-27-2008, 03:09 PM

I don't know. If Johnston can't be a Long Snapper I don't want him.

Basileus777 · 04-27-2008, 03:09 PM

Hopefully we will be an appealing place for UDFA, being a place where they have an excellent chance to make the roster and get playing time.

Mecca · 04-27-2008, 03:09 PM

Oh yea any UDFA that signs with the Chiefs has a good chance to make the team at any position.

Sfeihc · 04-27-2008, 03:09 PM

Hey guys, just checking in but the last two days have been amazing. It's like a dream come true. Johnston was the icing on the cake.
