My USC post the other day won’t cause any ill will with Maualuga :)

A question I want to pose to ya’ll is whether Maualuga is a legitimate possibility with the third pick

People have been saying Curry is too high at 3 when he is rated as the best player in the draft. So I would say there is zero chance Rey jumps ahead of Curry and is picked by the Chiefs. I like Rey but I think Curry is better than him in all aspects of the game so unless we get a huge amount of picks I don’t really want to give up Curry to try and target Rey.

damn, was he on a hoveround? this seems similar to hali, slow but he has a great motor and gives great effort. i’m always scared of effort guys, especially when they are surrounded by great talent, such as usc provides.

If the PARADE was running the show, quite possibly.

It’s annoying the conformity that results from all the draft hype which is almost always neither reflective of the actual draft nor necessarily how the talent pans out.

Everyone speaks in absolutes about top 10 players, but a crappy combine doesn’t really bother us at all. Curry seems like a stud but he wasn’t on our radar until the draft talk began. Seeing Maualuga as the clear captain of that USC defense was impressive. He’s a ILB who can cover the pass well and can penetrate up the middle as well.

We’d be thrilled to trade down and still get him and something else. We’d happily give up the #3 for a top 15 with a Maualuga lock and a second round pick. Screw the numbers metric.

Sign him up. Best defender in the draft.

Although some say we should not trade with a division rival, with this new regime, anything is possible. In the past, Pioli has traded within the division, and it worked out well for both teams. I say we trade down with Denver, take picks #12 & #18, then we swap with New England #23, and get pick #47 in 2nd rd! Denver would get Sanchez #3 and still have a 2nd rd pick, and 2 picks n the 3rd! New England would get Tyson Jackson#18 and still have the #34 & #58 pick. May sound a lil’ krazy, but it just might work! Let’s keep our fingers crossed!!

#12=Maualuga/ILB
#23=Mack/C
#47=Barwin/DE-OLB

I love it when a plan comes together!!

I have been watching this guy for a while, and coming in to this offseason, i thought he was just what the Chiefs needed. Nothing I’ve seen or heard from him has changed my mind.

People agree that the Chiefs need a “heart and soul” guy, someone that brings passion/fire, aggressiveness, ferocious hitting and intimidation, and big play ability to the middle of the defense….

well, this IS that guy. I love Aaron Curry as well… but in a trade down scenario, Maualuga would be my #1 hope for the Chiefs.

Maualuga is run stuffing leader who is a born ILB.
he also plays a little wreckless, like the guy with similar hair from Pittsburgh (Polamalu)
which I kinda like, too

I love how Rey play’s the game and would rather have him than Curry! I just feel like to have a good D you have to have a good MLB someone who can lead the team, and we dont have that right now! To me a 3-4 mean’s you that you need 4 stud LB’s, and im not seeing to many stud’s on the chiefs roster! Man i wish we could trade down with Denver and had our 2nd rd pick back! Here’s my first 4 pick’s if that happened! 1st rd pick #12 M.Oher RT…… 1st rd pick#18 R.Maualuga MLB……. 2ND RD PICK#34 C.Barwin DE/OLB……….. 3rd rd pick#67 E.Woods C!! Man if we could get those guy’s we would be looking at a good team in the future! What if we could trade T.G and L.J to Philly for more pick’s and what do you guy’s think we could get, or even if it’s a possiblity?
