With their first pick in the 2010 draft, the Chiefs select...
 

So many holes...so many...it's honestly a toss up at a multitude of positions that the Chiefs could address with their #1 pick next year.

Here's a list of potential Top 10 canidates, in order of personal preference:

1. Brandon Spikes, LB; Florida
2. Terrence Cody, DT; Alabama
3. Jermaine Gresham, TE; Oklahoma
4. Sergio Kindle, LB/DE; Texas
5. Russell Okung, OT; OSU
6. Taylor Mays, S; USC or Eric Berry, S; Tennesee (either or)
7. Trent Williams, OT; OU
8. CJ Spiller, RB; Clemson
9. Dez Bryant, WR; OSU
10. Kris O'Dowd, C; USC

:cuss:

We need to just take OL every single round next year.

FYP

Taylor Mays.

I'll give you one guess why.

dez, then oline

For me, it's gotta be Cody. You don't draft an ILB that high (lesson from Curry).

Cody is 365 lbs. If he's that big and can play, talk about a mammoth of a nose tackle.

He'd be awesome paired up with Pollard. Mays could guard the deep middle and let Pollard roam the field making plays.

Eric Berry has the least amount of question marks at this point.

I concur

cause hes a ss? and thats where pollard is? and that might mean no more pollard?



i like it

we have the ballhawk in page

Shut the **** up.

It depends on where the team is drafting. I love Berry and Mays, but not at, say, #1 overall. This team has a glaring need for someone like Cody, too.

Mays isn't a ballhawk. He's a deep coverage guy who is excellent at stopping the big play.

Sergio Kindle

We still need a pass rusher in the worst way and we do have two 2nd round picks to use on a WR and O lineman. Or a NT and O lineman.

PhilFree:arrow:

Ha he has a point, for all of his size Taylor has been playing FS for his college career..he's gonna get a shot at SS this year and do alot of different stuff.

But yes he just spent 3 years making Kevin Ellison look good because Ellison played at the line since Mays could cover the entire deep middle by himself.

They wont pick #1 overall because if we get that selection we will trade out of it and pick up an extra 3-4 picks.

But if I must guess I think it will be Russell Okung.

If they have the first pick odds are they won't be able to trade out...that's how it works.

Terrence Cody can make this a lot easier if he watches his weight. He's a controversial prospect.

Someone will want to trade up to draft McCoy.

I will say this if they take Cody in the top 5 people will freak out because he's not considered a 3 down player.

Which one!

I understand. I know the history of the 1st overall pick. But I also believe Pioli will do everything in his power to trade out. I think he would end up getting his way.

Cody might be the next Andre Smith. Watch out.


I know, I know, different position. Same type of player.

Colt of course.


Everyone loves a spread QB.

I'd like to see them keep those three picks in the first two rounds.

first round: Taylor Mays or Eric Berry
first pick in the second round: outside linebacker
second pick in the second round: wide receiver

HaHa...you and I know both know Gerald is going before Colt in the McCoy battle.

I've stated this before, but he's trying to get to 350 and will probably be around 340 to 345 when the combine starts. He'll maintain that weight under Haley's tener.

Colt McCoy, baby. Colt McCoy! #1 overall pick is going to be a hot commodity this year. ;)

I'm already prepared for the fools to hype up McCoy, it's gonna be a long offseason.

I think it will be worse with Bradford. I can already see the people hyping up his completion percentage and how it means he will be a good NFL qb.

As much as I'd hate using a top 5 pick on a safety, historically teams will use it on a very rare talent. And in a 3-4, they have more opportunity to be a playmaker. If Mays becomes the next Harrison or Polamalu or Ed Reed, sign me up. I still think that when the Ravens moved to a 3-4, Reed became 100 times more important to that defense than Ray Lewis.

It's really funny seeing as Bradford will only be the 4th best prospect in the draft from his own team...

It will be really bad if some mock drafts continue to have him going No. 1 overall to Seattle.

Eric Berry is more Reed...Mays is kind of like LaRon Landry, he is huge fast and physical but he's not really a playmaker, he'll do his job as well as you could ever imagine but don't ever expect him to go Reed and change games.

If we draft a safety, and both are on the board, I would much prefer Eric Berry. He reminds me of Ed Reed.

I'm kind of surprised you would go TE with your 3rd overall preference.

A playmaker is a playmaker, and I think that Gresham has all the tools to be one of the really special players at his position. A bigger, faster version of Gonzalez that is, at the same point in his career, a substantially better blocker. A reliable passing game safety valve that helps your qb from getting killed is okay in my book.

The 2010 draft is really interesting. I think that there are a number of players who are substantially better than their 2009 counterparts. It's a deep draft talent wise at the top, and I think that there will be better opportunity for a team to move out of a top spot than the last draft, but if you stay, there is the chance to get a really special player. While their positions are not considered as typical "Top 5" draftable positions, I feel that Spikes, Berry and Gresham represent truly "special" type players. Once in a generation types. As well, guys like Okung, Mays, Cody and Kindle represent substantial upgrades at their respective positions versus their '09 draft counterparts; i.e., Okung looks to be a much better tackle prospect than Smith or Monroe, etc.

I question of when Berry and Mays measure in and workout that will be the point when Mays jumps ahead in rankings.

Yeah, I question of when that too.

Ok don't be a smartass.

Mays is 5 inches taller 35lbs heavier and his 40 is supposedly faster....

Intraweb towel parties will be in order.

I have no desire to hear one ****ing word about Brodie McCoy.

Yeah, I get that. And he hits hard. He's definitely a good prospect and will be very good in the NFL.

If I am drafting a safety in the top of a draft, he better be a playmaker, a la Ed Reed.

That's why I take Berry, no questions asked.

I would really suck to find out that Berry is 5-foot-8 instead of 5-foot-10.

I think he really is 5'10 based upon what I've heard from people who've been close to him.

Mays is going to be used in numerous roles this year not just playing deep middle so he'll get a chance to show if he's a playmaker.

And this is just looking at it from a Chiefs perspective. Guys like Gerald McCoy of OU and Ndamukong Suh of NU are amazing players, who should be highly coveted by teams running a 4-3.

And I don't mention a guy like Carlos Dunlap, who is a beast, because we just picked up Jackson.

Then there are the qb's in McCoy, Bradford, Tebow and Snead.

There is a lot of talent at the top of this next draft. Big time. Might push a lot of guys into the second that have first round potential.

Doesn't seem to hurt Bob Sanders any.

Suh can play in a 3-4...the other guys can't.

Another guy who's an outstanding 3-4 prospect is Vince Oghabaase.

Please no more DT's

LMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAO

I am seriously laughing my ****ing ass off at this!!!!! REP!

FOILED AGAIN!LMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAO

I'd jump for joy as a Husker fan if the Chiefs draft Suh to play nose tackle or defensive end. But I think it's wishful thinking.

Pollard and Mays.

The bait and switch. Come lured by the initial suck to meet a legit hammer.

ROFL See, the difference between GoChiefs and myself on this whole Pollard/LJ-trip, is that I'm not gonna' cry if Pollard gets the shaft because I know it's best for the team.

If LJ got benched or beat out by Charles? You'd find GoChiefs two months later in his Mom's basement surrounded by discarded pizza-roll boxes and wrapped up in a blanky while stuttering gibberish to the wall.

I'd cringe if they picked defensive line again, but watching this pre-season, it's obvious that they need a DT in the worst way. But you can say that about a lot of positions - tight end, right tackle, offensive guard, center, linebacker. I just don't know if you can actually say one position is more important than the other in terms of what the Chiefs need.

But Suh is one of the meanest guys I've seen play in a long time. Dude is just a baby eating hate machine on the field.

Wait. Do you mean "with the first pick in the 2010 draft" or "with their first pick in the 2010 draft" because that's two different things.

I think that it might just be synonymous considering the state of the Chiefs talent and schedule this season.

I'm gonna' say "potentially both" at this juncture.

JINX!:)

Don't count on it fellas. You'll have us and the Raiders fighting you for it just in this division alone.

I hope Mays shows that he has playmaker ability this season. He is a freak athlete. What around 6'3 230lbs and could run in the 4.3-4's.


Gotta love these two plays from Berry though.

I think you mean Seattle.

It's time to step away from the d-line. It seems that 75% of our first round picks are d-line and we still haven't gotten 1 great player. Although I think Jackson will end our bad streak.

I'd be happy with Taylor Mays if we pick #7 or beyond. Cody is a hell of a prospect, but still. Gresham wouldn't be bad either, but if there are any o-lineman out there we need to go for that too. Whoever said we shouldn't go after any tackles this offseason because you don't pay too much money to a right tackle, well, how do ya feel about that now?

As of right now (without reading the rest of the thread), my draft board (based on needs) goes:

1. Eric Berry, S, Tennessee. Guy has the least amount of question marks and I think he's going to be a monster/superstar S.

2. Terrence Cody, DT, Alabama. Monster DT and although I don't like taking a DL 3 years in a row, it's a very important position and Cody is a helluva prospect.

3. Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma St. Considering we have abosolutely no big playmakers outside of Bowe, we need one. If we're bad enough to be picking in the top 3, I'd pass (unless we sign a sh*tton of free agents), but he could be a great WR, especially opposite Bowe.

Those are my top 3. Mays seems like a slightly better version of Pollard to me (goes for the big hit to often for my taste from what I've seen, which is admittedly a small amount) and I hope we can find some good LB prospects in the middle rounds. Same with RT, I hate the thought of drafting any OL that aren't LTs in the 1st.

I still feel it would be wrong to take a tackle at #3 when you already have a LT. We could have went OL later in the draft though. If/when we pick high again I still won't want to go RT.

I don't know about Cody, he seems like a major risk as a player that will eat himself out of the league once he gets his big payday. Has anyone watched any tape of Boo Robinson as a NT we could take with one of our 2nds or 3rd? I would love to get Mays or Berry. Berry is the kind of playmaker that we could use and Mays is just an athletic monster that would be a force (I'm curious to see if he shows playmaker potential this season)

I must be like the only guy who isn't really a fan of Dez Bryant.

I don't like him for where we'll be picking. There are only 2(maybe 3) picks I can agree with the OP on for where we will be picking.

Eric Berry/Taylor Mays
Cody
and possibly Kindle depending on his season.

Everybody knows that the hand of god will come down from the heavens and smack the teams GM that holds that number one pick..Goodell will walk to the podium with a glorious light bestowed on him and he will read these immortal words.."With the first pick in the 2010 NFL draft..the (insert team name) select..Tim Tebow"

Oh....

WIN MOTHER****ERS! WIN! WIIIIIIINNNNNN! WIN FOUR GAMES, YOU SORRY ****S!!!!!

It will NOT be Jermaine Gresham
the chiefs will probably not have a super high caliber TE on the roster as long as todd haley is here

I would love to have one of the elite prospects in rd 1 (cody, Berry/Mays, Spikes, or Bryant) and have Selvie in the 2nd, if he doesn't have a spectacular year and falls.

The most physically gifted TE that got drafted over these few years won't be Jermaine Gresham...it's Martellus Bennett, Dallas got a massive steal with that guy.

Cody, or Berry...........or Mays.

Anybody with a brain feels exactly the same about that decision. We should have went after o-linemen, but not with that pick. It would have been a huge mistake. Albert and Monroe would have both wanted to play/be paid like a LT when their rookie deal was up, and we would lose one of them the same way we lost Tait.

Then who do you think is going to play NT? The most important, and hard to find player in the 3-4 that we are switching to. Actually, besides franchise QB, NT is the hardest position to fill in all of football. If you have a chance to get one, you take it. .

Berry or Mays.

The post should read," With the FIRST pick in the 2010 NFL DRAFT, THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS select..."

Oh, I just remembered. You guys traded away your #1 pick for a short punt returner. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!
