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.

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…
by rockchalk on Apr 26, 2008 4:27 PM CDT reply actions 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 reply actions 0 recs
A lot of that smack
was based on picking Albert at #5. I think we got a great deal.
by Chris Thorman on Apr 26, 2008 4:31 PM CDT up reply actions 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.

He is a player. We missed out there.

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.

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.

It all depends on if you want insight or catchphrases. NFLN offers the former, ESPN the latter.

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.

Yea, that is correct.

We traded three picks (1/3/5) for two (1/3).
by rockchalk on Apr 26, 2008 4:48 PM CDT up reply actions 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…

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!!

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.

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.

I saw Ainge

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

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 someone like Ainge.
I’m not against it, just not for awhile now.
And frankly, I would rather take Woodsen…

short tall
does matter for QBs. look at the best QBs in the NFL: Manning, Manning, Brady, Roethlisberger, all are huge. The big QB wins, while the little one gets dominated by big D-lineman.

I'd Be Okay With Ainge In The 3rd or 4th
Not in the 2nd, though…I think if Brohm’s available in the 2nd we need to consider him. Collins would be a good pick too, I think, but a bit of a reach that high. But we do need o-linemen and I think Collins can make it.
I agree with everyone on this thread who said Mayock’s better than Kiper, by the way…I tried tuning into ESPN’s coverage for a bit and thought they were terrible in comparison to the NFLN.

WOW!
Who had Chris Johnson in the first round?
He is crazy fast, sure, and VY needs some options, but still.
Wow.
Devin Thomas is still out there.
What about WR? If Desean Jackson is available at 35, do we take him as the speedster to match up with Bowe? Or do we take Devin Thomas if he is still there? Limas Sweed, who I am REALLY high on?
by rockchalk on Apr 26, 2008 4:52 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
I'm not sure about that either

RIght now, here are the positions I want in order:

why do we
have to take a corner? we are so weak at so many spots, shouldn’t we take the best player available when we’re up, as long as it isn’t somewhere where we are already set? it doesn’t make sense to reach for a corner or O-lineman if someone like jackson or the MSU receiver(forgot his name) are there.

Absolutely!
No other team has had as good of a day as the Red and Gold

Even if they are all busts, this is the best we could have done.
by DThomasReigns on Apr 26, 2008 5:51 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah.
If none of this works out in 5 years, there aren’t too many teams who wouldn’t have made the exact same decisions in the Chiefs position.

gb just picked jordy nelson
there goes everyone’s homer dream
by The DBowe Show on Apr 26, 2008 5:51 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
I secretly
really wanted Jordy Nelson. But I’m fine with it.
Wanted him in the non-sexual sense of course.
by Chris Thorman on Apr 26, 2008 5:53 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Is it wrong...
if some of us wanted him in both senses?
by mynameistyler on Apr 26, 2008 5:54 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Ok
So now with the first day behind us, What does everyone want with the big 3 in the 3rd?
by _chiefs_ on Apr 26, 2008 5:52 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
We could and need to trade back into the 2nd. We are not done yet.
by DThomasReigns on Apr 26, 2008 5:53 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Too Bad About Nelson
But I’d love it if Anthony Collins or Chilo Rachal fell to us…or if we traded into the second to get one of them.
The Chiefs are doing a great job so far.
Supporting the lesser of two evils is still supporting something evil.

we should
trade up to get desean jackson. he’d be a great return man, the next DHall, plus it’d give us a great receiving corps for erik ainge to throw too :)

how about
making dennis dixon mr. irrelevant this year?
by The DBowe Show on Apr 26, 2008 5:56 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
i know
you’re kidding, but someone will actually take him
by ArrowheadRed5658 on Apr 26, 2008 6:00 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
i actually
wasnt kidding. i’d be definitely down with taking him in the 7th if he’s still up there
by The DBowe Show on Apr 26, 2008 6:01 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Honestly,
THIS IS THE BEST DRAFT I HAVE EVER SEEN. Especially in the most important draft for us.

This, is how you try to build a dynasty
by Lanier63 on Apr 26, 2008 5:59 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I just can't say enough about this draft so far.
Laugh at us now, we will kill your AFC West in 2 years. As long as we sign them, and not piss these great players off.

Yes
Die-hard Rockies fan. On the bandwagon since 7/6/93. Not giving up my seat. EVER!

We could trade two later thirds and a late 5th to Detroit
for their second at #45

You've been around for a while
But welcome!
You think that Roy Schueneing (totally misspelled it) will be around?

YEA!

lets just wait for the third
and maybe use our fifth to trade up and get someone if we like someone there.

With the first day over
I’m feeling very content. The last three and half hours were so angst filled that I’m finally coming down.
Fantastic first day by the Kansas City Chiefs. We’ll do it all again tomorrow as well.

Great day
Not a huge Flowers fan, but he fits the cover 2 very well
by Joel Thorman on Apr 26, 2008 6:20 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
So far
we have drafted 2 ACC and 1 SEC players
by Lanier63 on Apr 26, 2008 6:25 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
I dont know about you guys
but with the way things have gone down these last two years, it would be a nice decent thing to do to let the Chiefs mgmt know we appreciate what they have done with the Draft picks. Just my opinion.
by Lanier63 on Apr 26, 2008 6:37 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
You know what sucks about this
In 3 years if the Chiefs are an awesome team and the players drafted this year are the core of that team, Carl Peterson will claim all credit for it.

Who needs Laws
We have Glenn FREAKING Dorsey!
