CHECK THIS OUT!!!!!! http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/7828762/Edwards-facing-major-rebuild-in-K.C. Says a lot about what we are going to do this year. Rely heavily on the draft.

Donovan, that’s an excellent point. If we bring in Briggs, someone is playing out of position. If we bring in Briggs or Vilma, one of our biggest salaries (Harris) is sitting on the sidelines. This all makes zero sense to me.

Roc27 – I think your missing the point of this article. They’re trying to prove that we don’t need a LB because we have too many other needs elsewhere. I’m showing the positions that we do need. We need offensive playmakers. They just want to disavow any thought of going after Vilma or Briggs. I originally thought that Briggs would be a good pick up, but he plays weakside LB. We already have a great weakside LB, Derrick Johnson. We need to keep our picks/cap room in order to pick up some great offense prospects.

I gotta say, I love all these posts. It seems we are clamoring now more than in the regular season. HaHaHa. Keep up the good work!!! Can’t wait to see what we have to say about the final draft. I agree that Linebacker is not a need for us this year. We could stand to pick up one in the later rounds as a back-up and development guy should Donnie’s age start to show. Let’s face it we need help at O-line, CB, WR, QB, and more depth at DT. Our offense is in shambles. Our defense is developing just fine. Go Chiefs!

And not to mention that Jonathon Vilma is a Leader! Which is what we need. Especially on D… And he could bring up the morale of the defense, as well as the entire locker room… Theres a lot more to being a good football then being just a good football player… Ya’digg ??

Plus, I dont think Vilma would demand too much money.

Ok….. Umm back to something relevant to this post (Jason & Donovan)… Adam, same as Dave, you and I do agree and a lot of things… BUT I have to disagree with you on this one. I definitely think that a pickup like Lance Briggs is very much a luxury pickup, and fairly uneccesary… Yet, I wouldnt put Vilma in that same category. He can bring some value to this team. I know, I know, I know… I like Nap Harris. Im NOT saying he SHOULDNT play. Not at all. But I think he IS the odd man out if we were to bring in Vilma. Because youre talking DJ on the weak-side, Donnie moved to the middle, and have JV on the strong-side. Then when Donnie is done (which isnt all that far from now) put Vilma in as MLB and Nap on the outside. But DO think that this guy could bring a lot to this team… I said it before and I’ll say it again… We’re not just trying to be satisfactory or "good enough"… we should WANT to be great… At the same time… If we can load up BOTH DT positions, maybe youre right. Maybe we wont need another LB… Eh, just my thoughts. I would love to see Vilma wear that red and #51 (better than Boomer did. Hahaha!)

I’m with Donovan on the Felton pick. He is one of my favorite players in the draft, and he is a very smart young man as well. Alot of Scouts compare him to Jerome Bettis in his prime, with the ability to break tackles and score at the goal line. He is also very good at picking up blitzes in pass protection. I say if he is there when we pick in the 5th or 6th round we pick him without hesitation.
