Draft Day Overflow Thread
And with the 34th pick in the NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs select:
Virginia Tech CB Brandon Flowers
This is a solid pick up in a major position of need. Kudos to the Chiefs' draft team. So far, they're doing a fantastic job. I'd imagine the Chiefs are feeing good about some later round linemen, which is why they would skip over that position in the second round.
We're approaching the second round folks. The Chiefs have had an ideal draft so far in many fans' eyes -- LSU DT Glenn Dorsey with the #5 pick and Virginia OG Brandon Albert at #15 via a trade with the Detroit Lions.
I opened this thread up because the first draft thread was freezing up on me. Let me know if this happens to you at all -- chiefssportsblognation@gmail.com.

Didn't have any trouble.
Though I’m glad SB Nation finally got around to updating the football blogs to the new format.

Yep
It was a long process. I think it came out pretty damn well.

Definitely.
I’ve been on multiple baseball blogs up to this point, just waiting for AP’s turn to come around. It’s a much more convenient format.

I love the new auto-refresh...
and the entire SB Nation 2.0.
Am in absolutely frickin’ love with it.
It has made this Draft a little better, although it is tough to get better than getting Dorsey and Albert so far…

Ive heard alot of people talk smack about brandon albert in the time leading up to the draft. I gotta say, so far im excited about our picks! Definately have done what Herm set out to do. Lets see what other picks we can get.
by _chiefs_ on Apr 26, 2008 4:28 PM CDT 0 recs
A lot of that smack
was based on picking Albert at #5. I think we got a great deal.

Exactly.
I was one of Albert’s biggest detractors, because I had no interest in spending the #5 overall pick (or even something like #10 after trading back) in a guard, who might be a tackle.
At 15, and having already picked up Dorsey, it is great value and I love the pick.

Is It Just Me...
or could Mike Mayock single handedly take over this NFL Network draft program and it be all the better for it?

I mean, that's a huge hit
If he came out last year he would have been the 2nd tackle taken behind Joe Thomas.
He is a player. We missed out there.
That sucks.

IMO, he's an elite tackle

That was a tremendous reach for Baker...
So while I wanted him at 35, I’m over it.
Right now, I want to sit at 35 and hope one of the ‘good’ corners fall to us. Jenkins, Cason or Flowers.
Mendenhall is gone right now to Dallas, I bet.
by rockchalk on Apr 26, 2008 4:36 PM CDT 0 recs
probably...
Mendenhall is the better RB, IMO, but Felix Jones matches up better compared to Mario Barber…

goes to the Steelers. Hes a power RB, the kind they love and works well in their set.
by ArrowheadRed5658 on Apr 26, 2008 4:41 PM CDT 0 recs
Good call.
Although they do have Willie Parker…
I wouldn’t be surprised if someone like Detroit tried to trade back into the first round and grabbed Mendenhall…

I am seriously loving the NFLN commentary...
Deion is crazy like Keyshawn, but good crazy IMO.
Mayock is worlds better than Kiper Jr, and right almost every time, and I like Marshall Faulk.
I was planning on switching back and forth, but I have stuck mostly with just NFLN. They are just so much better.
Plus, Eisen >>>>> Berman.
by rockchalk on Apr 26, 2008 4:42 PM CDT 0 recs
+1 on Eisen over Boomer
It all depends on if you want insight or catchphrases. NFLN offers the former, ESPN the latter.

Brohm/Henne
If they fall to the 2nd, should we take them to compete with Croyle?
by ArrowheadRed5658 on Apr 26, 2008 4:43 PM CDT 0 recs
Eh.
I would rather take a corner, but if Cason/Flowers/Jenkins are all gone at that point, I wouldn’t be opposed to Brohm.
Not a big fan of Henne..

I'm of the side that thinks...
Croyle doesn’t need pushing yet. He and Bowe really hooked up when they were on the field together. Croyle’s got a gun on him, just a little erratic. I’d like to stick it out with him, and more so address our CB need before turning to any QB selections.

Easily the best draft I've ever seen...
Last year, I watched more ESPN than NFLN. This year, NFLN instead of ESPN. Positive development…
Love the new 10-minute per pick rule. Makes things so much more exciting, and there doesn’t seem to be as much ‘dead time’ as before. Usually, by the time they are done discussing the previous pick, and spend a couple of minutes on who the upcoming team might pick, the clock is out and the pick is up. Great stuff…
Lastly, the Chiefs have had an awesome draft so far…
I’m loving it right now…
by rockchalk on Apr 26, 2008 4:47 PM CDT 0 recs
Me too
I kept thinking, “Was I just not that into the draft last year?”
The new format, the Chiefs great draft so far, and frankly this auto refresh are going to make my month.

QUARTERBACK, QUARTERBACK
Great first round. They probably got the best player in the draft, plus one that was in their top five (or maybe top 2 or 3). Dorsey was a no brainer dumb luck pick. Kudos to Carl on getting Albert. He probably can’t afford to screw up on getting them signed in view of the Chiefs’ dire situation and their cap room.
NOW DRAFT THE BEST AVAILABLE QUARTERBACK IN ROUND TWO!!

henne is over-rated. i don’t like a QB in the 2nd though with so much left to fill. especially at o-line

Don't Like Henne At All
Don’t know why everyone’s so high on him, other than he played at Michigan. He never really impressed me with his performance and he had a lot of weapons to work with. I’d much rather have Brohm.
Supporting the lesser of two evils is still supporting something evil.

i dont really like henne or brohm alot. erik ainge was a leader at tennessee and played all 4 years. plus, hes a big quarterback who can actually see over the O-line, not like Croyle, the little twerp.

Maybe in a little while...
I hate the short-tall argument on QBs, it is about 13th on the list for me on who is better. Who cares.
I haven’t looked that far down, but I would wait until the 4th or 5th round before we take so
