Just How Interested are the Kansas City Chiefs in QB Brian Brohm?

Pretty interested I'd say.

Appearing as a guest on the Sirius Blitz NFL radio show hosted by Adam Schein and Soloman Wilcots, Brian Brohm stated that the Kansas City Chiefs put him through the most intense interview of all the teams that interviewed him at the Combine...the Chiefs had him go up on the board and breakdown mistakes that he made in a game versus Utah this past season...Brohm also stated that of all the teams that interviewed him, the Ravens, Bears and Falcons appeared to show the most interest and all three have scheduled interviews with him in the upcoming weeks leading up to the Draft.
The Chiefs aren't going to use the no. 5 pick on Matt Ryan. I'm 90% sure of this. I'm 98% sure they won't use that pick on Brian Brohm. Are the Chiefs that interested in Brohm? Are the Chiefs already thinking about trading down? Brohm is a mid-first round pick that the Chiefs could theoretically get plus at least another pick if another team wanted to move up in the first round.

Don't read too much...
... into this intense interview.  

Herm likes to measure players in the intense interview.  He described it in numerous articles- at least one in the Star-  I'll post if I can find it.  

He pushes them to demonstrate their 'football' knowledge- by drawing up formations and asking them to explain their progressions, the checkdowns they'd use and other stuff.

Very interesting
Thanks for the info.

But why put Brohm
through his process if there wasn't marginal interest?  I think Brohm would be nice to have, but NOT at #5.  I am still anxious to see Croyle with decent protection, but can't say I am that excited to get to next year with the lack of acquisitions before the draft.

Thats what I was thinking
There has to be some level of interest or Herm is going to great lengths to disguise what the Chiefs will do.

Due Diligence
Sometimes you put players that you're only marginally interested in to see if you can spot something about them that other teams might miss.

What if Herm came in with just a small amount of interest mainly wanting to check him out in case he dropped in the draft, but during the quiz this guy came in and came up with something really brilliant and showed spectacular insight into the game?

You always want to give guys a chance to impress you, even if you go in doubtful.

Chances are its just a distraction
but if not, here's Herm going back to the weak armed QBs again...

Round 2?
Brohm could be there for the Chiefs come round two.

You think so?
A casual look at a lot of mock drafts indicated he would go in the first.

I would say
he is one of the first 3 QB's taken...very slim that could land him at the beginning of the second.

Or it could just be
some crafty Herm "strategery"
