What if.........

Ok so we all know that the o-line is the biggest weakness of the team and should be adressed early and often in the draft. Thats all fine and dandy but what are we going to do about d-line and middle linebacker? Thinking this over for some time now i think i have found the best plan (at least that i can think of) for the Chiefs off-season. Obviously we HAVE to resign Bowe AND Carr first and foremost................

1. Free Agency- So the draft will be dedicated to the o-line early so free agency will go to d-line/MLB

A. Sign Paul Soliai from Miami- He is a monster tackle that will plug the middle for Romeos rising D

B. Find competition for Belcher/Siler at MLB- we have forgotten about Siler who could have been the starter

2. Draft- So with our defense looking dominant we turn to offense

1st pick- David DeCastro G, Stanford- immediate starter for years

2nd pick- Cordy Glenn/Zebrie Sanders OT- Glenn may be gone but both could start at RT

3rd-7th would be BPA with needing depth at TE, RB, DE projects

So our new offense would be

QB- Manning (haha yeah right), Cassel, Stanzi

HB- Charles, draft/FA

FB- LeRon McClain

WR1- Bowe

WR2- Baldwin

Slot- Breaston/McCluster

LT-Albert

LG- Asamoah

C- Hudson

RG- DeCastro

RT- Sanders/Glenn

And the defense...........

NT-Soliaia, Powe

DE- Dorsey, Jackson, Bailey

OLB- Hali, Houston, Scheffield

MLB- Johnson, Belcher/Siler/FA

CB- Flowers, Carr, Arenas

S- Berry, Lewis

Rather take

Lamar Miller in 2nd round, and look for a RT in the third round.

yes to

DeCastro, Soliai, Sanders.

Green-Ellis instead of wasting a pick in the draft.

Re-sign Orton. He’s better than Cassel.

Trade Dorsey to a 4-3 for a draft pick

that can be used on OL depth, S depth, or TE depth or an RB behind Charles.

I like Amon Gordon or Bailey opposite of T-Jax. Bailey probably because he is younger and eats raccoons.

Lamar Miller

is to small of a back to be a thunder to Charles’ lightning, Green-Ellis would be a great signing if NE lets him walk. Orton wont come back, not cause we dont want him but he said it himself that this is Cassels team (unfortunately) so he will go somewhere he will have a guaranteed starting job……

Lamar's still relatively physical, though.

And 212 pounds isn’t that small. We wouldn’t have to worry about predictable playcalling with him in because him and Jamaal have similar running styles.

Short yardage

would still be a problem if we dont have a bigger back unless you give it to McClain in the HB position

by dt58 on Feb 14, 2012 4:38 PM CST up reply actions

Yeah short yardage would be improved with DeCastro and Hudson

The reason why most of us WANT DeCastro.

Forget about ‘’thunder and lightning’’ look for ‘’lightning and lightning’’, offenses are too predictable with a slower power back and a fast shifty back.

I think Pead

would be a better choice overall. He could be had in the 3rd-early 4th round and is a tough runner and has similar size to Miller and you would still get a good RT. I think 3rd is to late to wait to get a good OT. Running backs are a dime a dozen and have less shelf life.

It's not a predictable offense if they are both in the backfield at the same time and the defense doesn't know who gets the ball.

e.g. Le’Ron being used as a runner a LOT more. Even having Jackie bulk up a little and play some fullback in short-yardage would be good with me.
Still, O-line is the biggest, most important deal on short-yardage. It doesn’t matter if Peyton Hillis in the backfield if we have the LIGHTEST STINKIN’ LINE IN THE LEAGUE! IT’S PISSING ME OFF!!!!!

To be honest

Patriots have had a lot of those RBs who simply thrive because they are in the Patriots system with Brady at the helm. I dont think we should buy because of his lack of explosiveness and speed.

Hes had 3.7, 4.4, 4.4, 3.7 yards per carry in his four seasons in the NFL. He had 510 carries and his longest rush in each season was 15, 29, 33, and 18. I think Chiefs are much better off going with Miller and his high yard per carry and his knack to make the defense look like a high school D.
