First post guys...  I really love reading the blog every day.

Last preseason the Chiefs OL was bad.... scary bad.  Cutting starters and fighting not to compete but to survive.  With recent the recent signings of Thomas Jones and Ryan Lilja, and the possibility of drafting upper level lineman in the first few rounds, is it possible that the offensive line may stand as a strength this season rather then a funnel to the quarterback?  If Mr. Pioli can reverse our offensive line woes in one season with realtively shrewd moves he gains large amounts of respect from my perspective.  Any thoughts?  Is it worth drafting a lineman at number 5 over Berry to help set up our line to succeed over the next several years?  I would really love ideally not having to make sweeping changes to the line over the next few years to establish a repore and take their play to the next level.

I can't believe how often I check the site.  Thanks guys! 

Sorry if i posted in the wrong place... still learning!

As we all know during free agency all kinds of moves go on around the NFL. I have compiled a list below of all the losses and additions to each team in the AFC West that have occured so far. Enjoy!

If I missed anyone please be sure to say so in the comments so I can get it fixed. Thanks!

What if the first four picks of the 2010 NFL Draft play out this way:

Rams - Sam Bradford

Lions - Russell Okung

Bucs - Ndamukong Suh

Skins - Jimmy Clausen

Available at #5 = Gerald McCoy

If the scenario described below plays out and Gerald McCoy drops to #5, I think the Chiefs could trade down with Seattle for their second pick in the first round (#14), their second round pick (#40) and their 4th round pick (#102).   Draft value chart says Chiefs #5 is worth 1700 points, Seattle’s #14 is worth 1100, #40 is worth 500 and #102 is worth 92 points.

Seattle would then draft Gerald McCoy and Bryan Bulaga back-to-back at #5 and #6 (Seattle fans would do the wave for a solid hour!) and the Chiefs draft the highest ranked player left on their draft board of these five at #14 – Dan Williams NT (my personal favorite of these – might go to Broncos at #11), Joe Haden CB, Rolando McClain ILB (might go to Broncos at #11), Earl Thomas S or Sean Weatherspoon OLB (notice ALL defense)

Pioli then has THREE second round picks (#4, #8 and #18 in second - just like Bill Belichick does it!) to fill in the other holes depending on the result of #14.  Terrence Cody, Brandon Spikes, Maurkice Pouncey, Golden Tate, Jerry Hughes, Kyle Wilson, Nate Allen, Cam Thomas – Pick THREE.

We also pick up a high fourth round pick (like a high third due to the depth of this draft class) .

I think I could even live with the loss of Eric Berry in this scenario.

Thoughts?

I made this up a long time ago when trying to come up with new ideas..time to post it.  Maybe someone will like it.

Each word in the crossword, below, is a word that tells a little more about the person you are trying to guess.  So after you complete the crossword take a look at all the words and guess which person is being described.

If you think you know who it is then post your conclusions.

If you are a puzzle person and would like to see one every once in a while...then vote on the poll.

These are the best names out there for these two great running backs. I Hope the bosses do not take my post, but here we go. Now we have all heard of thunder and lighting and all the other sub-par names for running back backfields,but I think Kansas City has the new and improved back field in the NFL. Some think LJ and CP will be the new LJ an Priest (one person) but there can never be a combo like that unless it starts here in KC( Do you agree?).  So without further stalling here are the Thirteen best names to pick from, the final name will be posted SAT the 27th of march. 

Let the games begin.. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO  CHIEFS 

Please recommend this post so that all chiefs fans have the opportunity to vote. Thanks management lol

Hey guys ! I was just over at KCChiefs.com and saw an interesting contest they are having over there and thought it would be fun for us over here at AP to do.

The contest is that they are trying to come up with a nickname for the Charles and Jones running back combo. We cant steal any ideas from over there or from any other teams! Lets see what you guys can come up with!

Prize ? Nothing! haha just for fun! Maybe we will come up with a name that will make it out there and will be used by everyone :)

My cameras were on the street to capture this action. It was a tough negotiation but I think Scott Pioli prevailed once again. Not sure who we will be looking at next, but if we are able we will have a crew standing by. Todd is currently rehearsing for his Draft day pep talk with the staff. So enjoy this video and the negotiations while you can. I hate the 75 word thing.

I think as a Chiefs fan our number one question that we all have on our mind is:  Who will the Kansas City Chiefs draft at #5?

Moves throughout the last couple weeks and weeks to come could help us take a look at our present before D-Day.  In this fanpost, I want AP members to put the pieces together to come up with a logical pick for the Kansas City Chiefs at #5. 

Please put into consideration the following:

1.  Transactions made my Kansas City

2.  Areas of weakness on the team

3.  Transactions made by other Teams

4.  Expert analysis on the Kansas City Chiefs (NFL Network, ESPN, SI, etc.)

5.  Credible leaks of informatoin

PLEASE AVOID RUMORS UNLESS FROM A CREDIBLE SOURCE!

After the jump, I will add my clues to whom I think the Chiefs will draft and why I believe that pick will be Eric Berry...

Before last years draft everyone was talking about our Chiefs taking Aaron Curry with our #3 overall pick. Pioli instead did the completely unexpected (by all but a FEW) and drafted Tyson Jackson with the #3 pick.

This year everyone is talking about our Chiefs taking Russell Okung, Brian Bulaga, or the AP concencious Eric Berry with our # 5 overall pick. I think there is a chance that Pioli does the completely unexpected again THIS year and drafts....

 The last five years have been ugly for the St. Louis Rams. 

Let's face it...when you haven't won 10 games since 2004, have won only six games in the last three years, and just came off the worst season in franchise history, your team is definitely in trouble.  The fans are pissed.  The team can't get sold.  The high draft picks aren't turning it around.  The games are a bore.  This is a franchise that's not just in the toilet, but is firmly lodged in the septic tank.

Which brings us to the payoff for the worst season in franchise history...the top pick in the 2010 NFL Draft.  Speculation is certainly rampant who they will choose because, let's face it, the Rams have made very few smart decisions the last several years and most of the time you can count on them to make the worst possible choice.  But this is the year that it all changes...maybe.  Because this year, the St. Louis Rams will be selecting...
