TE and RB......WTF?

[ChiefsOne]

Big tight end, as possible replacement for Dunn.

Running back, more along the lines of a halfback, than fullback, to replace the departed Derrick Blaylock.

We have three TEs now, why do we need more.

What is Johnson for? He and Priest can carry the load and T-Rich can be used some in single back sets.

[TRR]

Are these comments from Vermeil? He made a similiar comment the other day about what they would be looking for in the draft. He basically answered it by naming every position on the football field....Offensively and defensively.

[ChiefsOne]

This is from GRETZ: The Draft Picture, but DV mentioned it too.

[KChiefs1]

need another TE to replace Gonzalez after Peterson trades him!

[ChiefsOne]

No way Peterson trades him, that's his golden boy and one of the right draft choices he has made.

[Brock]

I've said it before, but why does anyone listen to what coaches or gms say about the draft, like they're going to tell anyone what they're going to do?

next time put that in your post so we know what the heck you are talking about. We had no idea where that came from.

Q: When all is said and done this coming Sunday what would you like to see the Chiefs walk out of the two days with?

VERMEIL: “It would be great if we could come out with a blue-chip potential corner, maybe another safety, another linebacker, a big tight end, another running back, a couple of wide receivers, an offensive lineman. I think something like that will happen but you don’t know after that second day which guy is going to jump up and surprise you or which guy may jump up and disappoint you.”

There is nothing wrong with using a late round pick on a blocking tight end.

I posted this on another thread, but didn't we sign Robert Holcombe to back up both T-Rich and Priest/L.J. ?

[jcroft]

I think we do need to get a blocking TE at some point. Not necessarily in this draft, but we need to pick someone up this year, because I expect it to be Dunn's last year.

[ChiefsOne]

Yes we did. So we really have enough RBs and FBs.

Draft for D, WR, future linemen & QB.

[buddha]

DV would say he's looking to draft strippers if he thought it would give KC some strategic advantage.

Then again, after the Kris "He will redefine the position" Wilson draft pick, absolutely anything is possible.

I suspect they will look for Dunn's replacement in the late rounds and try to put him on the practice squad this year.

[Gravedigger]

Remember June 1st still has to come around fellas. Now this isnt an excuse to chose crap in the draft and the only RB that I would allow is Darren Sproles.
