Pioli's Big Board

like super duper work, Steve … when did Scott hire you, anyway? :-)

I see a couple of names I’d like to see in red ’n gold, Aldon Smith being among my favs. Job well done sir!

This I like, intelligence at work. Recd and solid!

Before I read this(just by scrolling down and glancing I know I will enojy it!) I have to know 2 things:
#1-where do you work?
and #2- Do they know you wasted an entire work day providing us fans here at AP with great information?!

Now I must scroll back up and read this beautifully written stuff! As you can tell, I love draft time!

I think our round 1 and round 2 picks will fall to us due to some unknown reason. My third round will be a slight reach but not that much.

1. 17. Mike Pouncey | 6’5, 320 pounds | G/C | Florida
2. 46. Stefen Wisniewski | 6’3, 302 pounds | C | Penn State
3. 89. Jerrell Powe | 6’2, 340 pounds | DT | Mississippi

OLB with first pick. Ryan Kerrigan, Aldon Smith or Akeem Ayers.
I’d like best center available with 2nd pick.
And too hard to guess much further. But I can guarantee we draft a fs to replace McGraw.

1) 9. Aldon Smith | 6’4, 258 pounds | DE | Missouri

2) 46. Stefen Wisniewski | 6’3, 302 pounds | C | Penn State
I would love Torrey Smith at this spot and would be my first choice for the 2nd round, but I’m realistic and it probably won’t happen but if it does then that would be badass

3) 80. Sione Fua | 6’2, 307 pounds | DT | Stanford
He needs to bulk up by 20 lbs or so in order to be a great NT in my opinion but a solid pick for the 3rd round

……but I should of known you were on your game with this one!

thanks for the leg work.
However, I’d like to throw a wrench in everyone’s cogs. I don’t think folks are giving raw talent and our coaches enough credit in this draft. I see 6 Chiefs in the Pro Bowl this year, 5 of which were on a team that had 0 representatives this year. Yeah, some players stepped up their games, but it was ultimately the result of some good coaching. I wouldn’t count a guy like Carimi out because some draft geek says he has heavy feet. If Pioli sees talent and coachability, I think they take a chance.
With that being said, I wouldn’t mind seeing Carimi, Costanzo, Wisniewski, or Solder (as much as I despise CU) taken as our first pick. I’m also liking Fua’s size at NT…not many there looking built for a 3-4 NT IMO.

Nice work on breaking it all down

I feel that our ability to address the #2 WR position in FA will determine how our draft goes. If we are successful in signing a quality #2 WR during the FA signing frenzy, then we can address our needs for some “beef” early in the draft. If there isn’t a quality FA WR, or someone else outbids us, or if the CBA situation stops the FA signings, then we will need to address the WR position early in the draft. If we don’t come up witih another good receiver, part of every opponent’s prep for us next season will be to watch video of this years’ Raiders and Ravens games.
As for your work…excellent. You have provided a framework for our draft theories. Thanks.

I actually want us to go almost all Defense in the draft. The guys I wanted in round 2 sound like they are 4-3 guys. If we can address the #2 wide out before the draft that is. When I think about it better I see us getting someone to help Hali on the QB pressure in the first round. A nose tackle in the third. The second is up in the air for me. Maybe a OL/OT to help give Cassel time to hit our free agency Wide out/ or Bowe or Moeaki or whoever.

a John Connor type fullback drafted somewhere by the Chiefs. We don’t seem to be set at that position and could certainly use someone that could put some pop into people leading the way for Jamaal.

And I mean that literally, there’s about 2000lbs of humanity in that list any 300+lbs of which I wouldn’t mind seeing in a Chiefs uni. :)

Also wondering why you tried to eliminate strong safeties when we desperately need an understudy for McGraw….

I think he will be there when we draft in the third at 88.

If I had the creativity or work ethic I might’ve come up with something like this.

ARE AWESOME!!! Major wreckage from me.

with that info do you think the Chiefs would take Devlin with pick 88? Or do you think they would wait and see if he is still around in round 4?

is the fact that a player that your team wants may have a bad day at the combine and fall in the draft. A player that your team didnt even think would be there when you are set to draft might be there because of a few slips during drills. If you have 4 years of college tape, or less for underclassmen, then the Combine should just confirm what you seen on tape.
   It just surprises me each year of the amount of players that shoot up the draft boards and others that fall just as far.

some nice info regarding Adrian Clayborn and Mike Pouncey

Obviously we would be looking for a 5-tech 3-4 DE ?

Where did Stephen Paea go? He was on the original list then disappeared somewhere.

Maybe he is dropping weight and moving out in the secondary!!!!!!! Surgery is going to hurt him.

They will have them written erased and written again, just like us

2010: Team co-captain … received team’s Most Valuable Player Award for defense … first unanimous All-American at Purdue since 1980 and merely the seventh in school history … named first team All-America by the American Football Coaches Association, The Walter Camp Football Foundation, the Football Writers Association of America, the Associated Press and The Sporting News … Si.com first team All-American … Rivals.com first team All-American … Collegefootballnews.com first team All-American … Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year (coaches and media votes) … Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year (coaches) … first team All-Big Ten (coaches and media) … Academic All-Big Ten

Seems like a Pioli type

Owen Marecic – Stanford

He might just become my new favorite 1st round pick for the ole Chiefs, depending on what we do, if possible, in free agency.

Has anyone truly fathomed the ramifications of the potential work stoppage if there is a lockout and the consequences it will have on the draft? If teams can’t fill needs with free agents, then needs may become even more glaring and reaching for teams in the draft. While many say Pioli wouldn’t take a WR in the 1st round, if it’s considered a major need, which many speculate it is, then a WR might just be what the doctored ordered at #21, since there’s no certainty of free agency and adding that piece, which Pioli has done or attempted to do in the past.

Why was he trimmed. Surely he will go in first couple rounds.

REC! this article is awesome dude, keep up the good work Steve

I know we seem set at Guard but this kid has some fire it seems

pander
verb
pander to something or someone indulge, please, satisfy, gratify, cater to, play up to (informal), fawn on The sports agents have pandered to the GM/Public for far too long.

Noun 1. pander – someone who procures customers for whores (in England they call a pimp a ponce)
fancy man, pandar, panderer, pimp, procurer, ponce
England – a division of the United Kingdom
offender, wrongdoer – a person who transgresses moral or civil law
procuress – a woman pimp
whoremaster, whoremonger – a pimp who procures whores

Seems maybe they are a lot of Agents in Mobile, Alabama trying to get their favorite favored. IMO. I wonder if that includes monetary gain also?

sell the product to the gullible

but then again, he probably won’t make fall to the 21st spot. He looks quick and fast as a rush linebacker.
