FYI To Mel Kiper: Chiefs Pick 5th, Not 6th In NFL Draft

in 2010 Draft

Our friend Ryan over at KC Chiefs Blog has pointed out that ESPN's Mel Kiper is sticking with Oklahoma State's OT Russell Okung as the Kansas City Chiefs pick in the draft.
In his initial mock draft on January 20th, Kiper has the Chiefs taking Okung.
A Chiefs fan asked Kiper in a mailbag if the club might look at Florida CB Joe Haden or Tennessee S Eric Berry.
The issue is one of value. I just don’t think Berry will be around at No. 6, and with as many needs as K.C. has, it’s not a scenario where you can see it trading up for a specific guy. And remember this with Russell Okung: If you get him at No. 6, you have the chance to improve two positions, not just one, because it gives you a chance to move Branden Albert along the line.
Uh, Mel?
The Chiefs pick 5th, not 6th.
Hard to take these guys seriously when A.) the draft is still nearly three months away and B.) they can't get the top of the draft order correct.

Awesome catch Joel.
Personally, I don’t take any of the talking heads seriously to begin with.

Not even David Byrne? That’s one Talking Head that needs to taken very seriously.

I also don't follow them, so I couldn't give an honest opinion of Byrne.
I just don’t care for the media in general, with few exceptions, including the sports media. Just my personal opinion.

if this man ever talked about KC Chiefs football…the world would end. I don’t think he even knows what day of the week it is…he’s a freak. i met him when he built this thing

I saw Dave Byrne last year at the Uptown, blew my mind.
A lot of oldtimers are holding on to past glory, not Byrne. Dude still brings it.

I was in New York about 5 years ago, saw the Broadway show "Avenue Q."
My seats were right next to David Byrne. That dude has to be 11 feet tall. He’s gigantic.
Toby is in HR, which technically means he works for corporate, so he's really not a part of our family. Also, he's divorced, so he's really not a part of his family.

While
i personally don’t like Kiper much but I agree with his point, whether we’re picking 5th or 6th lol

Probably just a slip on his part
he was only off 1 spot, after all. But in all seriousness, does anyone actually believe what that mop-head says?
So full of sh*t that toilet bowls have to wipe.

I just gotta say
That picture sure does give you a great idea of the enormity of these players. Sokolosky is 5’8" 190lbs.

I just gotta say that picture looks like a scene from...

That's not a huge error by Kiper
Things like that happen. What kills ESPN’s credibility is stuff like allowing Craig James to leverage his job there to get Mike Leach fired at Texas Tech, not what was probably a pre-coffee brainfart by Kiper, IMO. That said, they should’ve had a checker on that.

I think that
because all these famous talking heads have us picking OL, we won’t.

I think the offense showed a lot more improvement as the season went on.
We’ve got to be able to stop the run.

kiper
charges for his content, unlike a lot of other sites that are free. I wouldn’t pay for it anyways but it makes him look like a joker
by Remember Marv Levy on Feb 9, 2010 1:41 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
This one tiny mistake aside...
…his content is worth a lot more than the amateurs on the free sites, to be honest. He’s been doing it a lot longer, has a staff of assistant evaluators, and employs far more resources. I think he’s a clown because of his ridiculous hair and dopey personality, and hell, I’ll even go so far as to say that I disagree with him as often as not, but he has been one of two rightful heavyweights in the business (the other being Buschbaum until he died, and now Mayock).
I have beat wholesale ass for a whole lot less.

I'd be fine taking Okung
But im confused with what would happen to our line. Albert should go to lg so what happens to waters? If we draft Pouncey too I’d be happy. Okung-Albert-Pouncey-Waters- O’Callaghan. wow, that’s strong. And then add Rudy, Wade, Colin Brown, alleman and Ndukwe for depth. That’s a very good o-line right there. Right?

Common thought seems to be Waters replacing Rudy at Center.
He evidently came into the NFL at Center. I don’t have enough knowledge of his background to back that up myself though. Just what I’ve seen around these hallowed cyberhallways.
by Archyrr on Feb 9, 2010 1:45 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Played his first year in
NFL Europe as a Center, I believe. I also think his first appearance as aChief was at Center but shifted to guard for good later that year

Thanks for the backup.
I thought it was something like that.
Good to see you inputting. I was afraid the hounds had chased you off after your FanShot.

Waters hasn't played center in 10 years

Well ...
I just don’t think Berry will be around at No. 6 …
Kiper’s right. If he’s still there at 5, he dang well better not still be there at No. 6.

Any chance we might use the extra 2 to move up?

Hope not.
We need the extra players real bad.

I could see us using our extra 5's to move back into the 3rd.

I wouldn't be opposed to that, especially if Mount Cody falls like he could
Pitchers and Catchers report February 17th... And so begins my masochistic addiction.

Normally I would never defend someone...
But if you read those mailbag type of things there is often a lot of typos he probably just sausage fingered the 5/6 key.

I think you’re correct.

"Sausage fingers" always reminds me of the movie Bad Santa.
That movie is my holiday staple instead of It’s a Wonderful Life. Does that make me a bad person?

And remember this with Russell Okung: If you get him at No. 6, you have the chance to improve two positions, not just one, because it gives you a chance to move Branden Albert along the line.
uhhh no. it allows you to upgrade 1. RG or whatever position they move BA to.
Seriously mates, when have I ever been sarcastic?
Oh and in case you were wondering, that hug offer is still there when you are ready UC :p
