Mel Kiper has another 2012 NFL mock draft out and in this version the Kansas City Chiefs stay on defense and pick Boston College LB Luke Kuechly. Kiper had the Chiefs selecting Penn State DT Devon Still in his last mock draft.

Here's a snippet of what Kiper said about Kuechly:

Last week the Kansas City Chiefs new offensive coordinator, Brian Daboll, spoke to the KC media for the first time and described what he envisions the Chiefs offense looking like next season. He used the word attack, talked about different formations, no-huddle, play-action and all that good stuff. Read all about that here.

The man who hired Daboll, Chiefs head coach Romeo Crennel, talked with the KC media on a Wednesday conference call about some of the differences and similarities with the Chiefs offense last year and moving forward under Daboll.

"I think some of it will be the same, but I think Brian will add his touch to it," Crennel said. "He's already said that he wants to attack a little bit more, so I think that probably in his game plan he's going to devise ways to try to get the ball down the field maybe a little bit more often than we did last year."

Hmm...downfield? That's not really one of Cassel's strengths.

Good morning! Another unusually full day of Kansas City Chiefs news considering we are in the offseason. Keep reading for free agent talk, more about Kelly Gregg, and a transcript of yesterday's Q&A with head coach Romeo Crennel. Enjoy.

In Romeo Crennel's perfect world, the Chiefs already would have started the process of teaching new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll's system to quarterbacks Matt Cassel and Ricky Stanzi and some of the other players.

That process will have to wait for a couple of months because of changes to the NFL's collective bargaining agreement.

Crennel Expects Offensive Change, But Must Wait Before Chiefs Can Practice from KC Star

In addition to Crennel, the Chiefs coaching staff is comprised seven offensive assistants, five defensive assistants, two special teams coaches and two strength and conditioning experts.

Five staff members were added, one was promoted and 10 were retained.

"I think that it's a good group; they're good teachers," Crennel said. "They're going to be hard workers, good football people and there will be good staff cohesiveness and we'll be able to translate that to the players in the locker room and on to the field."

After reading MtHammers post on AP's predictions for the 2011 season (great post, IO recommend it if you haven't read it yet) I thought I'd make some 2012 season predictions of my own. These are going to be some pretty bold predictions, but I will stand behind them for the next full year! Going into this, I am assuming that Dwayne Bowe and Brandon Carr remain on the roster, and Kyle Orton will be the Quarterback. It's fairly unlikely that that may not even happen, but let's just go along with it! Here we go!

Rainy day here in KC. Better than snow I guess.

What's everyone up to tonight?

Well, I am back with my defensive edition. And as a reminder, these are my favorite players, not who I think are the All Time Chiefs. There are some names on there who may appear on both lists but there are also some names that make you scratch your heads. At any rate, they are guys that I always liked, through good and bad. I'm going to run a 3-4 defense and take two safeties, ignoring the free and strong designations. Here we go...
