Chiefs Top Three In Attendance

I was happy to see that us Chiefs fans stay loyal to a team that went 4-12. The two other teams in the top three were the Redskins (have the largest stadium in the league) and the Giants (Super Bowl Champs). The team in fourth place was the New York Jets. Either we are die-hards [...]

A Case Of The “What Ifs”

I was thinking the other day during lunch-what if Jake Long does fall to the Chiefs at number 5? I smiled, took another bite of my sandwich and swallowed knowing that after Long’s name was announced on April 26th the Chiefs offensive line woes would be well on its way to being [...]

Say Hello, D-Bo

90 catches, 1,300 yards, Super Bowl, and the Pro Bowl! I think three of those things could easily happen.

The Blueprint 3: The Hard Call

After two previous editions of “The Blueprint,” here is the scenario I laid out for “The Blueprint 3.” Keep in mind that trades are very hard to pull off in the top five, so a no-trade stipulation is also part of the scenario:

Team
1st Round

1. Miami Dolphins - OT Jake Long, Michigan

2. St. Louis Rams [...]

McShay Must Read A.A.

Here’s something from Todd McShay backing up my latest mock that I chatjacked. Jake Long ain’t gonna make it to the Chiefs, folks. From ESPN:
 matt, philly, pa: Since nobody thinks Jake Long is a true Left Tackle, do you think the Chiefs would be better off drafting Dorsey, Ryan, or even Clady if they were [...]

Reader Request: Brian Brohm

At the request of one of our favorite readers, Dave, here is the scoop on ex-Lousiville signal caller Brian Brohm (I really hate Louisville today, by the way…destroyed my bracket last night…not happy). Dave prefers Brohm to the other quarterbacks in this draft class, most notably Matt Ryan, and wanted us to take a look. [...]

Arrowhead Addict’s Pre-TB3 Mock

I’ve already gotten a lot of flak on this mock, so I wanted to make an introductory statement. (By the way, both flak or smack are totally cool. But, remember, if you fire at us over here at A.A., you better duck and yell “incoming.” :))
Yes, this is an exercise of some sorts, leading up [...]

Glen Dorsey Pro Day Video With…Tim Krumrie? Yep

If this doesn’t show that the Chiefs are interested in DT Glenn Dorsey, then I don’t know what will. Good to see that Tim Krumrie’s still got it. This is all very interesting leading up to “The Buleprint 3.” From ESPN:

Kris Wilson Officially Gandhi

No, ex-Chiefs‘ tight end/fullback/H-back/pass dropper Kris Wilson hasn’t become an Indian political and spiritual leader–he’s officially gone. Thank God. I went from being the guys agent to absolutely loathing him. Now he’s the Eagles‘ problem. From PFT:
Anyway, the Philadelphia Eagles officially have announced that former Chief Kris Wilson has signed a three-year contract with [...]

Kiper On Chiefs, Matt Ryan

Don’t shoot the messenger here, I’m just chatjacking Mel Kiper and passing along what he said about the Chiefs and Matt Ryan. From ESPN:
Brian(kirksville, MO): If the Falcons dont take Matt Ryan where does he fall? Does Kansas City pick him, the Ravens at 8 get him or does another team trade up?
 Mel Kiper: If [...]

Stray Arrows: Turley Wants Pacman Booted

Looks like former Chiefs‘ tackle Kyle Turley will still have a voice in NFL matters even though he has retired. He wants Pacman Jones banned from the NFL. From the one and only MDS over at AOL Fanhouse, one of the 47,000 sites he writes for:
Asked whether Jones should be reinstated into the NFL after [...]

Reader Post: Merlinnj - Part 2: Free Agency And The Draft

Here’s another solid post by one of our favorite readers, Merlinnj…

To continue the discussion, let’s take a look at free agency and the draft for the Chiefs. Previously we talked about the not signing high priced, aging vets when you are a 4-12 team. What players do you sign? Well, you look at younger players [...]

Benny Sapp Heads To Minnesota

The Minnesota Vikings signed CB Benny Sapp to a one-year contract. The Daily Norseman is reporting that his deal is worth $705,000. This shows that the Chiefs had no real interest in bringing Benny back and decided to move on without him. I just want to thank Benny for the few big plays he provided [...]

Stray Arrows: An Alt-ernate Post-Playing Career

Hugging Harold Reynolds, one of our favorite sportsblog stops on the Web, forwarded this to us about what former Chief Jon Alt is doing now:
It is refreshing to see athletes, like [Jason] Kyle and former Chief John Alt, drifting away from the post-career broadcasting or coaching roles and using their contacts and financial resources to [...]
