Chiefs Drafting Corner - Page 2

Direckshun · 03-20-2012, 12:02 PM

Let's play with this idea for a moment.

Chiefs are on the clock at #11, can't trade down, and Kirkpatrick and/or Janoris Jenkins are still on the board.

If that is the case, how interested might you be in pulling the trigger?

Keep in mind the usual suspects will be at the #11 pick, DeCastro, all the tackles, Kuechly, Poe.

If you bring on a corner, especially a stud like Jenkins, you have the best three corner combo in the NFL, and Arenas in the slot (where he's excelled) if you need him.

If you're REALLY concerned about Manning winning the division over you, this isn't the worst thought in the world.

The Jets showed us that if you have enough talent at CB, then you really can neuter even the best of franchise QBs. Brady is arguably the best QB in the league, and he has to throw away from his WRs when he plays the Jets.

The only problem there is that you have to REALLY stack the CB position like the Jets did. It's too much money to tie up in one position.

Except, Flowers would be the only corner in KC with a fat contract. Routt + Jenkins' rookie contract together would be cheaper than Brandon Carr, bar none. Financially, it's completely doable, and the Chiefs would still have double digits in millions of dollars in cap room.

Manning would have to hit his tight end(s) and check down receivers, because Flowers and Routt are largely neutralizing his #1 and #2, and all Jenkins has to do is shut down the #3. Arenas covers the slot. And we've all seen how mortal Manning looks when he's frustrated.

Plus, this gives us insurance for an elite CB duo if Routt doesn't pan out.

It's a thought.

Discuss.

Just wondering, but when people on here say trade down, I would sure like to know who we are going to trade down with. I mean I just don't see anyone that will fall to us that someone else just has to have.

I guess you never know come draft day tho, but I see nothing wrong with drafting a corner if it is BPA.

If Cleveland takes Blackmon instead of Richardson, Richardson may very well slide to our spot and we can have some potential trade partners. Same goes for Tannehill.

Ya and you never know with young players. Hell how many people on here would of thought Brandon Carr would of turned into the player he is after one year.

Yeah....don't think that could have anything to do with the fact that we now know that Quinn isn't a franchise QB after seeing him in the NFL?

I read a thing, a tweet perhaps that mention Philly and Seattle both as possible landing spots for Keuckly(sp?). Would Philly trade up for a ILB?

If Cleveland doesn't take Richardson....Tampa Bay will jump at the chance at #5.

ChiefMojo · 03-20-2012, 12:29 PM

Kilpatrick is the only CB I would consider on a trade down but would prefer the Chiefs take DeCastro or possibly Kuechley at #11. I'm not in the camp of taking either Poe or Tannehill.

That was a huge weakness for them last year, so they could possibly want to snag him. I guess you just never know until draft day.

Just finished reading a recent mock that has us taking Kirkpatrick.

http://www.sbnation.com/2012-nfl-dra...ft-free-agency

11. Kansas City Chiefs, Dre Kirkpatrick, CB, Alabama
The Chiefs were busy in free agency, filling their most glaring roster needs. They signed Stanford Routt to replace Brandon Carr, and paired with Brandon Flowers, that's a good duo of corners. Drafting Kirkpatrick gives them a trio of good corners. Depth and flexibility.

i'm taking a cb before I'm taking a ****ing guard

Yeah, this, even if the guard IS the next Steve Hutchinson.

Even if it's in another round, I'm not sure how we go into next season with our current NT situation. If Poe isn't it...fine...but it's gotta' be someone in the early rounds unless something surprises me during the rest of free agency.
