First of all, big “up yours” to Primetime for not putting this on the front page and relegating such breaking news to the lowly Fan Posts.
According to my inside sources the Chiefs will have scouts at this weekend’s colossal Oregon Ducks vs Arizona Wildcats game in beautiful Tucson, Arizona. But who will the scouts be scouting? This game, and this conference, is bursting at the seams with NFL talent. As few of you know the best football is played out west. They don’t call it the Conference of Champions for nothing.
This game will feature some money o-linemen and some worthy defenders, but for now lets focus on the skill players.
Ed Dickson – TE – Oregon – 6’5” – 245 lbs
I say “God damn!” This is one fine tight end. How fitting would it be to use the pick we got for Tony G to take the next great TE out of the Pac-10? Dickson is a first round talent projected to go in the second and would look great in red.
LaMichael James – RB – Oregon – 5’9” – 180 lbs
Think Jamal Charles, except good, and has actually played against legit college defenses. No disrespect to the Big 12 but I’m not taking Baylor’s, Texas Tech’s, Okie State’s, A&M’s, Kansas’s, Missoura’s, fuck any of their defenses seriously. Okay, that is disrespect.
Rob Gronkowski – TE – Arizona – 6’6” – 265lbs
See Ed Dickson. Growkowski is a beast of a man. An injury has kept him sidelined all season which may drop him in the draft. Widely considered the best TE in the country before his untimely injury.
Nic Grigsby – RB – Arizona – 5’10” – 190 lbs
Over 1100 yards and 13 TD’s last year. Minor injuries have slowed him down in 2009 but he’d still be a great replacement for the void LJ left.
So, who do you want to see in red next year?

Either TE.
I actually agree with Haley when he says that RB is a position of depth. That said, I remember James and Masoli running all over the Trojans. And usually the Trojan defense is 60% NFL players.
Consistency is only a value if you are not a screw up.
Not to dis on the post
What else have they got. I don’t see TE, RB as priority picks this year for Chiefs.
Corners, safeties, OLineman. Got some more names to watch? Even LB’s
We Will kick at least 4 Teams Asses in 09
And Succop will be the Key in two of them. Washington & Oakland!

Oregon's got some money linebackers.
Specifically Casey Matthews
Also CB Javes Lewis, Safety John Boyett

For my Cats...
Keep an eye on LB Xavier Kelly. Corner Trevin Wade is a stud but is only a sophomore. DE Ricky Elmore leads the team in sacks.

you mean K-state right?
Hate Larry Johnson.

Alot of late round picks in this game. Nobody will get picked before the 3rd round though. Ron Gronkowski will probably get picked in the late 2nd. I dont know where Elway gets that the Pac 10 (3rd best conference) has the superior talent. The south east has the best talent. Hey Elway, Where is the highest rated Pac-10 team?
That Falcons Pick Is Looking Like It Might Be Higher Then We Thought.
I have Ronnie Brown, Micheal Turner, and Dwayne Bowe all on my fantasy team.
Who is Elway other than a Stanford bitch?
I hope you’re not suggesting that the pinner Big 12 is the #2 conference. Pac-10 is the most balanced from top to bottom. The SEC is an OVERRATED top heavy conference. Watch Gameday this morning? All their “experts” were in agreement that the Pac-10 is quickly gaining on the SEC as the nations top conference. The conference was 5-0 last year in bowl games, hard to argue with that.

Biggest game in the SEC this year...
was a 13-3 snoozer of a slop fest.

You'll never convince me
When your top team losses to Washington, a pathetic team, and Oregon and Stanford(who would have trouble putting 20 pts up in the SEC) put up 50 on you. Your not the best conference. When the Pac 10 doesnt even have a team in the top 10, How can they be the superior conference? When Arizona is competing for your conference, but Couldnt beat the 2nd place team in the big 10, How are you the best conference? Idk what your smoking, but this whole post is ridiculous.

Actually I am watching a Team that
A. can win the Big 12 North and play in Big 12 Championship game
B. won’t play in a bowl game

Said team
got outright ABUSED by Nebraska. They never had a real chance to play in the Big 12 Championship game against Texas and rode on the wave created by the sudden implosion of the Big 12 North this season more than actually being good.
Your assessment of Big 12 Defenses is pretty bad too, to be honest. Three teams in the NCAA top 10 for Total Offense are from the Big 12 in Texas (1), Oklahoma (6), and Nebraska (10). Teams like OSU, KU, NU, OU, UT, and TTU all rank well in the top 25 across the board defensively. Take into consideration how prolific teams as far down the conference rankings as Baylor and Colorado are offensively, and the defensive numbers look even better.
That’s not to say I disagree with your assessment of draft prospects, because I don’t for the most part. I doubt we’ll be looking at RBs very realistically this year and a high pick on a TE would probably be unlikely considering our need at OL and Safety.
Bask in the glory that is Kwame Harris. Poor Alex...

by the way, it's supposed to say "Three teams in the NCAA top 10 for Total DEFENSE"
muh bad.

When Lowly AZ
Is in posistion to win the Pac-10, Yeah enough said.
Also, Every Major Conference but the Pac 10 has a team in the top 10.

I have Ronnie Brown, Micheal Turner, and Dwayne Bowe all on my fantasy team.
Im not saying AZ is a really bad team...
But top 10 ten, No way, Top 25 maybe.

So AZ is a joke because they actually schedule a legit noncon game...
and lose on the road? At least they’re take a shot and aren’t losing to Baylor.

Ed Dickson I love his soft hands and speed
Hate Larry Johnson.
Great LB Boris Lee in Troy today
An All-Decade Sun Belt Team Performer and general stud.
he was injured. injured bad.
Besides Ron Grownkoski
These teams hold alot of late round picks that could help the Chiefs. Alot of gems in the 5th round play in this game.

We need those 5th round gems
we don’t pick after that unless we get another shot at Mr. Irrelevent.
Worked for us so far!

When I was reading his post, He kinda contradicted himself. He said this was where all the talent is. Well, None of these guys will touch day one. Just thought it was funny.

Haley and the Patriots have never valued the TE
They have always consistently been in the bottom of the league for times thrown to a TE. I agree we need an upgrade there I just don’t see Pioli/Haley going as high as the 2nd round for a TE.
I don't want no Yo-Yos

Any top-flight Cs/Gs with our Atl 2nd-rounder?
Any big corners? You said skill positions, but mentioned no DBs.
Basically, you dwelt on the two positions in which I have the least interest. :o)
But maybe the beast TE could be a 3rd or 4th-round sleeper pick.
No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.
Watching K-State and Nebraska
Suh is getting a C/G double team and Crick is getting held.
Maybe Suh is a true 4-3 DT. Now team him in a 4-3 with Dorsey and we got something.
or Not

dude is a beast! I wouldn’t be all that disappointed if we ended up picking him.

The History of Bear Down:
The slogan “BEAR DOWN” was given to the Wildcat teams by John “Button” Salmon, student body president and varsity athlete, shortly before he died in 1926 following an automobile accident. His last message to his teammates was “Tell them to BEAR DOWN”.
One day in 1952 Jack K. Lee, an applicant for the UA’s band directorship, was leaving Tucson by air following an interview with university administration. From his airplane window, Lee observed the huge letters on the roof of the UA gymnasium. Inspired, he began to scribble down the music and lyrics to an up-tempo song. By the time his plane landed, he had virtually finished it. A few weeks later Lee was named the university’s band director, and in September of that year, the UA band performed “Bear Down, Arizona!” in public for the first time. Soon thereafter, “Bear Down, Arizona!” became accepted as UA’s fight song.

Seems like he has slowed down a great deal…

Pac 10 is not even close to the top conference for nfl talent
The Southeastern Conference has consistently had the most NFL players. In the 2007 season, the SEC had 263 players on NFL rosters. The ACC had 238 players, Big Ten 234 players, Pac-10 183 players, Big 12 176 players and Big East 84 players.
Not that I am a SEC fan but the Pac 10 is hardly the Goliath that you claimed
The ACC, Big 12, Big 12, and SEC all have more teams than the Pac 10
Quality on quantity

Do we need to do the math?
Quality over quanity is your arguement? , here’s something to chew on, in 2008 the first 10 players of the nfl draft were from the SEC.
