Early Word Is That The Chiefs Like Bryan Bulaga

him today, he seems to be the most technically sound O-lineman by far.

Seriously? The one top guy with Trex arms and that’s who they are interested in! Trust me I think it’s a mistake to go OL with the 5th pick would much rather go ( Berry,Haden,McCoy) and get Pouncey with 2a but hell I’d settle with Okung , if I knew we were choosing between him and Trex from Iowa.

Then I’m ok with it

If Suh or McCoy aren’t available to us in the fifth spot, we have to take an O-Lineman or Safety. I really believe by drafting an OT first will make two positions better immediately. I would be estatic with Bulaga!

i understand hes a great player, but at no. 5? this is a great draft class this year. I see no reason why berry or okung couldn’t be at the number 5 spot. There is no way they can both be gone especially now because the rams are in talk of getting a QB.

Anyone but a LT. McClain, Berry, Bryant, Dan Williams in that order

Taking bruce Campbell, or maybe Taylor mays

As I see it, he’d be a “safe” pick; He may be a better guard than tackle….Albert wouldn’t necessarily need to move inside

but I strongly feel that USC’s Charles Brown and Maryland’s Bruce Campbell will be the best in the long run. The only thing I like about Anthony Davis from Rutgers is his run blocking and I think Oklahoma’s Trent Williams will either play on the right side or slide inside to guard. And for the record, my praise for Campbell has absolutely nothing to do with his 40 time he ran today…I just really like Brown and Campbell’s pass blocking and ability to fit a zone blocking scheme in the run game.

If you look at Mayocks top 20 overall, Buluga is the 6th OVERALL talent in the draft. He is ahead of Berry, McClain, Davis, Bradford and only two spots behind Okung. Pioli has the inside on Buluga with knowing the coach and all so he may very well go in that direction. Okung will likely will be gone before the Chiefs pick anyhow with Detroit and Washington both in need of offensive line help

Does nobody read/hear what Haley and Pioli have been saying? I haven’t heard one good, logical, non-personal-opinion argument why people think we are actually drafting a LT with our first pick but I could easy give you 10 reasons off the cuff without thinking very hard why we wont and why BA will be at LT next year.

We would be reaching with just about anyone else we picked, both DT’s don’t fit the scheme, Berry is a saftey, and McClain is a reach. I could see us going for Dan Williams as a NT, being the greatest need but besides that it would be a LT. With the money we would be paying there is no one worthy of the pick except for a LT.

but, there isn’t much indication that the Chiefs ACTUALLY like him, or would take him

And moved Albert to guard, and waters to center. We then have a stopgap at center, so we draft a center too?

Then we’re using 2 valuable picks on something that wasn’t broken at the end of the year.

So for arguments sake, taking bulaga or okung, and then pouncey at 2a if he falls. Great players, but doesn’t help the defense.

I like getting continuity on the line and just like the defensive line was focused last year, maybe its the ol this year

with a payroll of 120 Million, does that seem Pioli like to wrap up 1/24 of the payroll at LG?

If we traded down, and took him to play the right side tackle then that would be a different story.

Bulaga will be a mistake if we took him at 5 to play Left Tackle. I was watching highlight video’s of Brandon Graham and saw the two matched up. Graham made Bulaga look like he was standing still. If Pioli and Co. thinks that Graham could play well in space, and as an OLB I would prefer Graham at 5.

If you look at the video at around the 3:49 mark you’ll see Brandon Graham blow past Bulaga.

i thought it was reported on here that:
1) Pioli doesn’t let the combine change his draft board.
2) Pioli was quoted as saying that the interviews don’t hold much water as the guys have been coached up by their agents.

coupled with the fact that the chiefs didn’t scout any Iowa games that were ever reported,
and I don’t understand where the Bulaga talk comes in. are we going to draft him as our O-line coach? as an iowa fan, i have been dying for iowa guys to get drafted by the chiefs, but i do not want him to be our first pick of the draft.

it is funny how short arms knock everybody else down in the draft, except the guy who is playing the most important position on the line.

hmm….cloudy judgment?
