- #1 Miami Dolphins - OT Jake Long
- #2 St. Louis Rams - DE Chris Long
- #3 Atlanta Falcons - QB Matt Ryan
- #4 Oakland Raiders - RB Darren McFadden
- #5 Kansas City Chiefs - DT Glenn Dorsey
Yes! Fantastic pick by the Chiefs' brass. Glenn Dorsey has routinely been called the best player in this draft and the Chiefs obviously could not pass on his talent. Even with Herm Edwards penchant for rounding up picks, Dorsey was simply too good to pass up.
Making this pick even more incredible, the Chiefs turned down a last minute offer from the Saints. The offer was this year's first round pick (#10) and next year's second round pick.
**UPDATE 12:05 PM CDT** PFT is reporting that ESPN said that the Raiders will select RB Darren McFadden with the #4 pick.
Well, here we are. The most important draft in the history of the Kansas City Chiefs.
I'll be updating this post with the picks. In the meantime, we have a plethora of fantastic FanPosts to keep you entertained. Check them out to the right side of the page. NFL.com's coverage is here.
So, dive right in and start commenting.
GO CHIEFS!!!

Whats the chance, since we heard all thr rumors this Spring about Al Davis
canning Lane Kiffen, that Kiffen screws Davis with the fist pick and selects a nobody? Woudn’t that be a hoot!
Remember Al uses a walker, he cant chase down the guy who takes the card up to Goodell.

After a hectic two days with Miss Arrowhead Pride’s family, I’m sitting down in front of the computer and finally feeling relaxed.
GOOOOOOOO CHIEFS!!!!

Chiefs are on the clock
From PFT the Raiders will take McFadden.
Rams will take C Long
Falcons will take Matt Ryan
Raiders take McFadden
That means Dorsey for us !!!!!!!!!!!! Or this is all trade bait.

Nice
Glenn Dorsey? I’ll take it. He’s Kiper’s #1 rated player.
by Chris Thorman on Apr 26, 2008 12:00 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'd rather have Ellis.
And if Dorsey is available, we should trade back with the Saints or someone who is in love with G. Dorsey, and then pick up an OT later on.
by rockchalk on Apr 26, 2008 12:11 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Good point
Dorsey does provide a lot more trade leverage than Ellis.
by Chris Thorman on Apr 26, 2008 12:13 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Disagree
I love the idea of trading down and getting more picks, but if Dorsey is on the board at #5 the Chiefs need to take him.
Dorsey is the one transcendent talent in this draft, the one guy who will make other players around him better, and fills a slot that has been a consistent need for the Chiefs since the days of Dan Saleaumua. Dorsey will make Tank Tyler a better player, will free up our linebackers to make tackles, and will compensate for fact that we will be lacking at defensive end and cornerback.
Draft Dorsey if he is there. If Dorsey is gone, trade down and acquire more picks.

That's my vote
I’d love to have Dorsey.
by Chris Thorman on Apr 26, 2008 12:23 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
You know what, you may have just changed my mind...
I have thought since January that since we play mostly a Tampa 2 scheme, Sedrick Ellis would be the better fit for our D.
Plus, I figured Dorsey would, without a doubt, be gone by the time we picked.
But y’know, it would be pretty sweet if we got Dorsey, and while I’m still not going to go as far as dying to choose Dorsey over Ellis, I certainly won’t be upset if we choose Dorsey.
Honestly, I trust Herm and you guys, and since most of you guys (and Herm, from what I have read) like Dorsey better, I’ll defer.
Regarding Brandon Albert, though, I’m sticking my ground. ;)

Its going to take one hell of a deal to get the Chiefs to trade down from Dorsey. Peterson is going to hold them up for all he can get out of them.

The media is getting played hard
This is the thickest BS being swallowed as truth I have seen in a long time. The draft may go down as is reported, but this smacks of trade posturing.

PFT made a good point. If these reports are to be believed, then someone is leaking info from the war room. That would be tough to believe.

I buy all of that up to the Raiders
I concur, the Chris Long thing seems legit, and he does have Gattica’d DNA, but Atlanta, well I kinda trust the rumors, and Ryan would effectively negate the Vick scandal, but I never trust what Al Davis is doing.
by Official Arrowhead Pride Parade on Apr 26, 2008 12:23 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
So what happens if McFadden falls?
I mean sure Al Davis likes the flashy flashy but old coot is loco, so what do we do if we’ve got the RB in the draft in our lap with LJ in the wings?
by Official Arrowhead Pride Parade on Apr 26, 2008 12:27 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Don't think we'll do it
But there are plenty of teams who would…
by Joel Thorman on Apr 26, 2008 12:27 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
We entertain trade offers
If that’s even possible in the ten minute window.
by Chris Thorman on Apr 26, 2008 12:28 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I wouldn't mind taking him.
I am not going to lobby for it though. LJ only has about 3 years of peak production left in him, max. We could extend that and extend the life of McFadden. Both would have contracts to be happy with (for awhile). LJ, DMC, and Kolby would be a stout stable.
But I think it is the most unlikely scenario.

Is there any possibility in this day and time
we could end up with Dorsey and Albert?
by Lanier63 on Apr 26, 2008 12:34 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Sure.
We take Dorsey at #5 if he falls, then we trade up to something like #11 if Albert is still there from #17 and take him there.
I don’t want to do that at all, I like Chris Williams much much better, but it is possible…

I really like him, so hopefully that it isn’t serious, and he will slide to #17 and we can snap him up.
by rockchalk on Apr 26, 2008 12:49 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Albert will probably be around at #17
The only other team I’ve heard him associated with is #23 to the Steelers. Who cares what McShay or Kiper say?
by Joel Thorman on Apr 26, 2008 1:07 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
That's what ESPN had
They have us moving down to #10 (From Saints) and drafting Alberts, so i could see him being there at #17

That would be a dumb move...
Although I would like it, since we would then be absolutely guaranteed one of C. Long, Dorsey or Ellis.
Ryan was way too INT-prone in college, and except the injury history, isn’t all that different from our own Brodie Croyle.
Strong arm, makes a lot of mistakes and dumb throws, and not always the most accurate QB in the world.

Goodell just said on NFL Net that they will look at the way things transpired
with Miami being able to negotiate with several players, then choosing and signing Long before the Draft. He wants to know if it is an unfair advantage to the first pick. Although most teams wouldn’t want the first pick for obvious reasons.

I'm calling it now
Chiefs trade down almost no matter what. Granted, they need a partner in this deal but I think that’s going to happen.
We traded away Allen for multiple picks. We’ll do the same with our #5 draft pick. It’s the team’s philosophy now.

That is weird...

C. Long gone...
I’m not too pissed off…
Hopefully, the Falcons don’t take Dorsey.
I have, only today, become a big Dorsey fan. Plus, that would allow us some serious options to trade back…
Please, Falcons, take Matt Ryan…

It looks like Ryan is the pick...
He is all happy, kissing his mom, etc.
Awesome, awesome news…

D-Mac and Dorsey still on the board. Great possibility of trade down situation with both on the board.

So, assuming the Raiders take McFadden...
Would you rather:
A) Take Dorsey
B) Trade Down and pick up some extra picks
I prefer A, but like Chris, see B as a more likely possibility.
by rockchalk on Apr 26, 2008 2:20 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Prefer A
B will almost certainly happen. But I could be eating my works in twenty minutes.
by Chris Thorman on Apr 26, 2008 2:20 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Agreed!
I would love to sup’ up our D with Dorsey in the middle with Boone. If we do trade down, it better be for great compensation.

I was waiting for the words “Michael Vick” and/or “Dogfighting” to come out, but I guess that would be a bad way to endear yourself to Falcon fans.
Oh, BTW, Falcons fans aren’t all that happy...

Gholston=DeMarcus Ware...
Good fit in the 3-4 as the rush OLB that rushes the passer almost every time, like Ware is, but Gholston would have flopped if we drafted him, or anyone who runs a 4-3.
Glad we didn’t take him…

Wait, everyone....
PFT speculates the Saints could pick at 10 and then make the trade with us as written before.

Now that is how to draft
Drafting the best player available instead of reaching for a tackle. Looks like Peterson is actually listening to the coaches for once.

I may be wrong, but am pretty sure that Herm gets final say...
Or Carl does, but Herm tells him who to pick with Clark Hunt looking over the shoulder, making sure that Herm gets his way.
I don’t think that Clark Hunt, like the Chiefs’ fanbase, trusts Carl Peterson…

Or, hopefully, this isn’t some great grand scheme involving Dorsey.

He said in the pre show that all 13 KC picks would not make the team
