Draft Day Overflow Thread

And with the 34th pick in the NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs select:

Flowers_medium

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.

by mynameistyler on Apr 26, 2008 4:26 PM CDT   0 recs

Yep

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

by Chris on Apr 26, 2008 4:27 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

Just got back in

Battery issue in the parking lot of a 7 eleven. I’m almost freaked out.

Glad to be on the couch with a beer.

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…

by rockchalk on Apr 26, 2008 4:27 PM CDT   0 recs

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.

by Chris on Apr 26, 2008 4:31 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

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?

by mynameistyler on Apr 26, 2008 4:29 PM CDT   0 recs

It's amazing...

how one man can have so much insight.

Mike Mayock >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Kiper Jr.

by mynameistyler on Apr 26, 2008 4:30 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

+1.

It really isn’t close at all…

by rockchalk on Apr 26, 2008 4:33 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

That hurts bad

I really wanted him

by primetime 07 on Apr 26, 2008 4:30 PM CDT   0 recs

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.

by primetime 07 on Apr 26, 2008 4:31 PM CDT   0 recs

IMO, he's an elite tackle

but, I don’t really do this full time so who knows…

by primetime 07 on Apr 26, 2008 4:36 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

wait

until the 5th round for D-Bowe’s twin.

Blame my wife!

by sir eccles on Apr 26, 2008 4:35 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

well

they have three thirds… i think they might take a WR there. jordy nelson or early doucet if they are there still.

have you seen my baseball?

by IISaiNtII on Apr 26, 2008 4:37 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

IF

chiefs take carson, trade back up for collins, i could get back to playing call of duty and be super freaking happy about what has happened in the the first day.

have you seen my baseball?

unfortunately, the cowboys are going CB as well.

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…

by rockchalk on Apr 26, 2008 4:38 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Is Mendenhall's...

one year of numbers what’s hurting him right now?

by mynameistyler on Apr 26, 2008 4:40 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

+1.

It would be kind of repetitive with LJ, but it would be absolutely tremendous value.

by rockchalk on Apr 26, 2008 4:43 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

exactly

like i said, if we can get carson, then trade back up in the second for collins for a third and a third round swap… i would be pleased.

have you seen my baseball?

by IISaiNtII on Apr 26, 2008 4:38 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Mendenhall

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…

by rockchalk on Apr 26, 2008 4:42 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

by mynameistyler on Apr 26, 2008 4:43 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

wish we got NFLN on timewarner.

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..

by rockchalk on Apr 26, 2008 4:44 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

doubt it. there is need elsewhere… i figure they’ll take woodsen if he’s there in the fourth

have you seen my baseball?

by IISaiNtII on Apr 26, 2008 4:45 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

by mynameistyler on Apr 26, 2008 4:46 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

ESPN

Hadn’t shown the Steelers pick and NFLN had

However,

We get the last pick in the draft, 7th round pick #32 :D

by rockiesfan4ever on Apr 26, 2008 4:49 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Yea, that is correct.

Only 10 picks left…

We traded three picks (1/3/5) for two (1/3).

by rockchalk on Apr 26, 2008 4:48 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

by Chris on Apr 26, 2008 4:48 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

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!!

by Kansas City Oracle on Apr 26, 2008 4:47 PM CDT   0 recs

gotta be

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

have you seen my baseball?

by IISaiNtII on Apr 26, 2008 4:49 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I like Brohm a lot more than Henne...

Although I would prefer a corner over both…

by rockchalk on Apr 26, 2008 4:50 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

by UCrawford on Apr 26, 2008 5:14 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I think the Chiefs like Brohm

If available, with an owner who wants a franchise quarterback, I don’t see how they could resist.

by Kansas City Oracle on Apr 26, 2008 5:14 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

erik ainge

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.

by ArrowheadRed5658 on Apr 26, 2008 4:52 PM CDT   0 recs

any young

qb with little nfl experience would look weak behind last years’ o-line, so lets stop clamoring for a qb right now, ok?

by The DBowe Show on Apr 26, 2008 4:53 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I saw Ainge

play a few games in Knoxville at UT his freshman year and I said from the first time I saw him that I thought he could be a successful NFL QB.

I like him.

by Chris on Apr 26, 2008 4:53 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

i do prefer ainge

to the other qbs because we wouldnt have to use a 2nd round pick on him

by The DBowe Show on Apr 26, 2008 4:53 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

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
