My case for a 1st-round safety...Jimmy Williams
Not 1st day. 1st ROUND. And specifically, Jimmy Williams.
Exhibit 1: The San Diego Chargers Despite the drafting of all-world DRoY Shawne Merriman, the Chargers were still bottom-5 in the league in nearly every pass defense category. Exhibit 2: Kendrell Bell Former all-world DRoY just like Shawne Merriman. Suffered last year for whatever reason, but was obviously not used correctly. This year, he's slated to play down on the line, much like Thomas used to. Whether or not he's the answer remains to be seen, but his production prior to KC (when he was used correctly and healthy) is far superior to anyone we have on the team currently. Exhibit 3: The top 10 defenses in the league. Out the top 10 defenses in the league, 6 had 1st-round S's starting for them. Only 4 of them had somebody with double-digit sacks. And only 4 of them were in the top 10 in sacks. 4 of them were actually in the bottom half in sacks. Exhibit 4: http://www.footballoutsiders.com/print/3828/ If you actually read the section "Early Round Peak" and see what they say about safeties, you'll see that it's not saying what many of you thought at all. First, they're looking at STARTERS, not studs. And they're looking at safeties EVEN if they've moved to other positions, like CB (their example: Troy Vincent). Taking that into account, their list includes both GREG WESLEY and WILLIAM BARTEE "so the freakishly talented athletes are rare at this position" |

You make a strong case.
I'm fine with the pick if he's there but if he's not who do you like in the 2nd round? |

I'm not sure I'd take a safety in the 2nd round.
If Williams is gone, I'd look to take Lawson in the 1st and a CB in the 2nd. If Williams and Lawson are both gone, I'd probably trade down. If Williams is there and we take him, I'd target Tapp in the 2nd. |

But if we trade down what position would you target? Hali or a different CB? |

I still have this damn idea from Coogs in my head, that the Jets might want to jump in front of the Pats. We give 20+54 for 29+35, and perhaps hold our 4th round pick for ransom, and regain that as well. We could get Hali and a good CB/S prospect with 29/35. |

I am on the Williams bandwagon. If Williams is gone I wouldnt mind trading down and getting Allen. Then grab Jennings or Tapp in the 2nd.

And I'm OK with Williams as a CB, although if we're gonna go CB I'd rather go with a true CB...

The Chiefs have no business taking a first round safety. They need to solidify the front seven before they do that.
