Center Moving Up On Needs

PrintWe all know we need to upgrade our OLine, but with Denver signing Williams our need for a center is even more important. I can't imagine Pioli and Co. putting C up a little higher on the list. During one of the playoff games Collinsworth said that you build your team around the other teams in your division. If they have a strong receiver corp you put more in the DB's, if they are primarily Rush you buy the defensive line. I think we need to upgrade our C as a higher priority today more so than yesterday.

damn Satch! you took my thunder!...lol j/k :)
Winning begins with Attitude - Haley and Pioli will be winners in KC!
I'll forever be a Chiefs fan! Only God himself could take that away from me, but when I get to my great reward, I'll rejoin two bigger fans, my Mom and Dad.
haha, good point
I honestly don’t think that this particular move changes anything…
but, they DO need a new center.
* KC now has the best coaching staff in the league
* Pioli will make at least one trade in the offseason, and 2 trades during the draft
* I'd prefer "lightning and lightning" as opposed to "lightning and thunder" when it comes to RBs
* 9-7 is a real possibility in 2010 IF the Chiefs get 4 new starters
* keep Albert at LT, upgrade the positions that NEED upgrading.C, RG, NT, S, LB
true, true

However Denver just got a good NT
San Diego will get a stud whatever way they have to.. SO the post is right to assume that we have to beef up the C position because Denver just maintained a threat all the while guaranteeing another one to enter the division

you could have said the same thing if SD retained Williams...

San Diego is in more of an urgent situation to acquire a high level NT
Denver is rebuilding
San Diego is trying to take advantage of a closing SB window

Or SD wouldn't have released him
if he wasn’t broken down and done. I agree we need a new C. This move just has little-no effect on that fact.

good point
my bad. we still need a new center. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
How do you win your Division?
Negate the strenghts of the other teams and accuent your own positives.
We have upgraded our Running back group and NOW we upgrade the blocking group.
Still need a NT ourselves and a Strong safety to stuff the TE/RB combo right up our middle, certainly some ILB help would be welcome. Of course we could upgrade the DB’s to the point that nobody in the AFC West can throw on us instead.

I'm starting to think in a different strategy...
We have upgraded the NT, but I believe we still need to draft a NT, and at 2a if Cody is available we take him. I too was thinking that we needed to upgrade the ILB. This is where my strategy is a little different. Lets move Vrable to ILB, and have him next to Derrick Johnson… this gets DJ back on the field and making some serious plays. What mistakes are made will be shadowed by Mike Vrable. Later in the rounds we grab someone like Sergio Kindle to play OLB. It seems by making these moves our front 7 are drastically increased…
The only problem that I see is that the safety position still needs to be upgraded, as I see that Russel Okung will most likely be gone, we upgrade the safety position with Eric Berry. The center of the defense should be able to shut down the pass, and hopefully put pressure on the QB causing turnovers.
Sorry that this was so long but I am just trying to get my thoughts out in words.
Go Chiefs!!!!
Dont know if williams
will be the williams of old……but i think we do need to upgrade at C……I would like to see us get lilja and put him at LG then move waters down to C……..all we would need would be a RG, that we could get through the draft or someone like ndukwe or niswanger or colin brown(which might be a stretch)
more like ...
grab Lilja, then draft Pouncey and another young stud OLineman … keep waters at LG and plug Lilja in at RG where they can teach Pouncey in the middle while the younger guys learn

hi, Mo!
5 minutes!!!
I like the idea of signing Mawae better...
or Quinn Ojinnaka… then look at the best guard or center that is available at the 2b pick.
Go Chiefs!!!!
wouldn't it be better
to move Waters to RG and sign a FA C (Weigman) and draft a young C?

any of the above would work
* KC now has the best coaching staff in the league
* Pioli will make at least one trade in the offseason, and 2 trades during the draft
* I'd prefer "lightning and lightning" as opposed to "lightning and thunder" when it comes to RBs
* 9-7 is a real possibility in 2010 IF the Chiefs get 4 new starters
* keep Albert at LT, upgrade the positions that NEED upgrading.C, RG, NT, S, LB
that could be a good idea to
if weigman can still hang. Despite his very old age (39 on the o line) I like Mawae too. I guess path of least resistance. We can get a FA center, draft a young center, and pick up Lilja. Who cares, they’ll get the talent we can get, and make them fit. Just want to see something.

totally agree with this

Why don't we just keep Niswanger at center and just ask him to play better?

That should be in sarcasm font
The Williams signing doesn’t scare me at all. The dude is done for.
1. Suh will fall to us at 5
2. McClain will fall to us at 2a
3. The Chiefs will trade DJ and Dorsey
and, it was pretty big money, I think

Yeah there was retirement talk
maybe retirement is code for “lets go to Denver Now” :)

hmm...and here i thought
all players go to the raiders to end their career.

they said on NFLN he is only going to take 20 snaps a game
Regardless of who the Chiefs pick at #5 overall, Whitlock will call it the worst pick in the history of the Chiefs. Heres to hoping that #5 pick runs Whitlock out of town.....
Trend
I believe you’re in a more controlling environment, when you set the trend, not follow the trend. And, I believe Pioli is a trend setter!
The Pouncey boys started as true freshman and played well in the SEC.
One at C, one at G. They were both big and mean and played all three interior line spots.
1st we help the defense and draft Berry
then with 2a Pouncey is the Best Choice IF he is available, there is talk of him going to 3 different teams late in 1st round, But we can always hope he will be there at 2a.
There are others to look at but we have a dire need at center and one more OL.
My choice for that 2nd OL is Ciron Black of LSU. He is a mountain of a man and with a heart as big as he is would be a total asset to the organization.
Coach Weis will have a major say also as 2 of his ND seniors are in the draft a center and a good lineman.
Center was always a need
dont know how its just moving up now
Regardless of who the Chiefs pick at #5 overall, Whitlock will call it the worst pick in the history of the Chiefs. Heres to hoping that #5 pick runs Whitlock out of town.....
Both Center and NT are filled in the second round imo
2a – Cam Thomas
2b- J.D. Walton
The first 3 picks of the draft will be defense. Pioli loves him some defense.
better value would be 2b and 3
and it’s pretty likely they will be there
* KC now has the best coaching staff in the league
* 9-7 is a real possibility in 2010 IF the Chiefs get 4 new starters
* keep Albert at LT, upgrade the positions that NEED upgrading.C, RG, NT, S, LB
My thoughts exactly
Can get 2 impact players at 1 and 2a. Should still be able to get Cam at 2b and Walton a 3. Had that in my mind for several weeks now.
Mr J
KC Chiefs Fan
several scenarios
1- Okung or Berry or DWiiliams
2a-Tate, Weatherspoon, Sapp, Cody, Pouncey, NAllen and several other options…
2b-Cam, cb
3- Walton, Gilyard, Shipley, Ducasse,
Sorry i turned this into a mock, I’ll stop
