Morning Update (Clean Slate Edition)

Reason #876 Arrowhead Stadium is awesome.

Kansas City Chiefs News

NFL Draft News

  • I think that's pretty much it for Pro Days this off season. The NFL draft is 19 days away.
  • Courtesy of IPWT2009 in the FanShots, OT Eugene Monroe is visiting the Philadelphia Eagles today. Could the Chiefs trade with Philly? The Eagles do have two first round picks (#21 and #28).
  • A reminder that the NFL Draft starts at 3 PM central time on April 25th. Round 1 & 2 will be on Saturday and the remaining rounds will begin at 9 AM on Sunday. And I just realized that I agreed to go to Lafayette, LA, for a wedding that day. Um, help?

A bit of housekeeping this morning...We're posting the final first round pick of the Arrowhead Pride Community Mock Draft soon and Wednesday we'll be starting the second round. The second round schedule is here.

Also, schraggyj had the idea to divvy up the Chiefs Draft Prospect list we've been compiling and do scouting reports, sort of like we did with the AP Mock Draft. I'm still debating whether or not we'll have the time to do that with Round 2 of the mock draft coming up.

Finally, I was curious if everyone was interested in a daily "What if" scenario about the Chiefs and the draft. The "What if" would involve trading picks with various teams. Primetime and I could post them and you could tear us apart on them.

Thoughts?

I Thought It Was Insane That People Were Talking Two First-Rounders For Johnson

If the Bengals were offered one first rounder, they should have jumped on it…if they were offered two and didn’t take it then it just illustrates why they’re one of the worst-run franchises in the NFL. Johnson’s 2007 actually wasn’t that great…he had one huge game that pumped up his yardage stats, four good games and a lot of mediocre-to-poor ones so the decline should have been apparent.

Predictions for 2009

1. Todd Haley's going to struggle with managing his staff in his rookie year as head coach.
2. The Lions will draft Matt Stafford, the Rams will draft Jason Smith, and the Chiefs will draft either Aaron Curry or Eugene Monroe.
3. Maurice Carthon will be the most hated man on the Chiefs' coaching staff within two years.

Age 29

Is the optimal age for a team to trade a WR for draft picks…so unless you’re 100% certain you want to keep him around beyond that (and that he wants to be there) it’s a good idea to pull the trigger if you get a great deal like that.

They can probably get a few more good years out of him

The way CJ plays, I don’t see why he can’t keep his speed until 32 or 33.

By the way

I’m not arguing that they should have kept him if they were offered 2 1st rounders by Washington. That’s lunacy to keep just about any player for that price (minus QBs).

I Think He's Going To Really Struggle This Year

His production has declined the last two years, he refused to have surgery to repair that torn labrum that limited him last season, even when the shoulder wasn’t a problem he was a non-factor, and he doesn’t want to be there (and is already blowing off workouts).

The loss of Carson Palmer certainly hurt his value last season, but I think he was on the way down even if Palmer had been playing.

Interesting note in the Gretz article:

“Cassel will wear No. 7 and he picked that number for several reasons. First, he wanted to pay homage to Ken O’Brien, who coached him early in his career at Southern Cal. O’Brien was one of the six first-round quarterbacks selected in the 1983 NFL Draft and wore No. 7 with the New York Jets for 10 seasons (1983-92.) Also, Cassel figured that adding the 1 and 6 from his old number 16 came to 7.”

I believe I brought up O’Brien in my list of famous No. 7’s post from a few days back… ;)

Its funny

to me how everyone is kinda blowing off the Broncos now that they have lost Cutler and I can understand. But I saw someone Post Neckbeards numbers and they werent too bad given the talent(or lack of) in Chicago. If only the Broncos can get there D together I think Neckbears would be a good system QB.
But Im def. glad Cutler is gone and it does make it easier to win the the AFC West now

by DT58forever on Apr 6, 2009 9:04 AM CDT reply actions  

AFC west is really shaping up to be quite competitive

We have Cassel, Broncos have Orton, Chargers have Rivers and those other guys might have Garcia.

That’s a hell of a lot of relatively well respected QB talent all in one division. Those division games could be kind of fun to watch.

Blame my wife!
Waiting until August!

I feel your pain, Chris

I was at my brother’s graduation during last year’s draft. And Western Michigan is a small enough school they feel the need to read everyone’s name. Ugh. I was dying for a cellphone with 3G.

Hell yes

Debate trade possibilities? Sure. We all apparently have nothing better to do. I’m in.

I also feel your pain Chris

My gfs b-day is on draft day, and I agreed to take her on a wine tasting tour that day before I realized that it was draft day. Although I will be making her check the draft via her phone every so often and I already informed her that since she’s a Patriots fan, the second round pick we gave up for Matt Cassel is part of her b-day present.

what you need to do is have lunch at like a bar or something before you go wine test

watch the first pick cause that will be quick . And if we trade down then you fucked hahaha

FOUR F'S FIND UM FEEL UM FUGUM FORGET UM.
