You look up so much stuff on draft picks…do you have a mock draft for the chiefs. I think you should post one. I would like to see your take on it.

we were going to be a little more offensively oriented… I think after Curry with our #3… were going O line

but I think this team is improved the most if it takes OT at #3 and best defender available in the third round.
I know we all have chubbies for Curry but the difference between a 1st and 3rd round tackle is greater than the difference between a 1st and 3rd round LB. Word is this is a deep LB class.

I know we need defensive help but a more pressing need may be protecting our new shiny asset.

the transition of the D to 3-4 is going to make the D suck anyway. I say we take care of 1 side of the ball at a time. Trading down would be the best possible scenario, but also in my opinion one to the most difficult to pull off at this point. But if anyone can it’s Pioli.

Water and TG would definitely bring value in the 2-3 round range. I say Waters for a 2& 5th, TG for about the same. Most teams could come up with that for top performers like those guys. Then we can package LJ with a 2nd and a 5th move up the board, something like that.

We’d have to trade with San Fran though… No way he gets past Denver.. Plus San Fran could use some Rajiification and they may want to jump Green Bay on that one

Ha, I love it.

Pending the Waters thing I think we should draft OL

We need to give Dorsey a shot at DE if we move to a 3/4…Everybody wants to knock him, but this could be a better position for him…I know most 3/4 DE’s are taller, and even heavier…But Dorsey will fare better there rather than NT in a 3/4…Speaking of NT, how are we going to run a 3/4 without one? Tyler doesn’t impress me, and he takes way too many plays off! I think he has the potential, size, and strength, but watching him pissed me off at times. He must really step it up. I think Vrabel could be a great mentor for Brian Johnston, Tamba, and Babin (if we resign him)…These 3 guys can potentially play OLB in a 3/4 with their size/specs being close to Vrabel’s. Anyways, long story short, I feel we are in way better shape than we think at LB for the 3/4, than we are in our line. Turk is kind of the odd man out here as I don’t think he would be able to play 3/4 DE or OLB…Possibly DE if he adds bulk…With the personell we have right now, Boone, Tyler, and Dorsey would have to be the front 3. We would get DOMINATED up front! Long story short, D-line is our first glaring need if we go to 3/4…We have potential at LB, to go with DJ and Curry (who will undoubtedly be our pick at 3 if he is there, and we keep the pick…NO QUESTIONS/HANDS DOWN)!

Offensively, I agree with moving D-Mac inside to guard…I think he would be such a better fit there as he can maul in the run game…His knees are a concern though. Herb or Barry-Rich should be ready to contend for RT next year, but if you look at NE’s line, there are very few O-Lineman that were drafted high…Pioli will put together a solid line from the draft, and undrafted free agents…He just knows how to find big, strong, dependable, (and most importantly) intellegent O-lineman late in the draft and FA…As for skill players, TG stays and LJ goes…Would like to get a decent back (Kevin Jones, Benson, Ward)? And WR will be key too…We need a Wes Welker slot type of guy that will do the dirty work. I don’t think we have one of those on our roster right now…Beyond that, we need to just hope that we start spending some bucks sooner or later in Free Agency…How about CJ Mosely from Jets/Mike Wright from NE/Drew Carter from Raiders/Hochstein from NE/Willis from Seatlle/Olshansky from SD/Shaun Cody from Detroit/M. Harris from S.D….??? These are the types of guys we should be targeting…Besides Olshansky, These are all second and third tier guys that could come and compete for a starting spot or be a solid reserve in both our new offensive and defensive schemes. Olshansky and/or Cody could start from day 1 in a 3/4…

Haley and Pioli will take a long look at picking Crabtree if they can’t trade down… With the Cassel trade, he’ll need weapons to buy him time to throw that don’t wear 88 or 82.

draft Curry. How many people would pass on Patrick Willis, Ray Lewis, or Derrick Brooks? Curry would be our QB of the defense and future leader. Especially if they calm down Waters and he stays. In rd 3 we can get our center (Caldwell, Luigs, Wood if he is there), move Niswanger to RG and use McIntosh or Richardson at RT. Our line…Albert, Waters, Caldwell, Niswanger, McIntosh. This will be serviceable until 2010 draft. Where we upgrade RT and RG.

But if we pass on Curry…definitely need to trade down and acquire more picks. Even if they settle for less (like swap 1st rd, and get the other teams 2nd and 3rd) we will be in a position to acquire OL and defense. IMO this will be better than just using the #3 pick on one OT. After all we have a LT, why not trade down, save money and take a more valued pick for RT. The 2nd & 3rd we pick up could be used for LB or DL.

But you never know… we still could get additional draft picks for TG and LJ to help fill our holes on OL or defense.

at #3, then we gotta go Curry. If Curry is gone then we go O Line. The only way we can trade down is to package a player with a pick.

Guards are easier to find off the street then the rest of the line. We gotta find a way to pick up another 2nd or some 3rd rounders we can use to move back up into the 2nd and get Mack/Unger.

1st- Curry- we only have two starting caliber linebackers right now
3rd-Kraig Urbik- OG Wisconsin
4th- Kyle Moore- DE USC bulit for a 3-4 DE
5th-Fenuki Tupou- RT- Oregon
