Let me start off by saying that I think the only draft pick I got correct in my Mock Draft a week ago was the pick the Oakland Faiders made when they selected Darren McFadden with the fourth choice overall. That is why they are called “mock” drafts.
I was going to write an article this [...]

Since the Bucs now have seven quarterbacks and Chris Simms is reportedly healthy and throwing well, who else thinks the Chiefs should consider trading for him? After all, we didn’t draft a quarterback to compete with Brodie Croyle, and Damon Huard looked finished at the end of last season. How much could a trade possibly [...]

Simply put, I’m extremely impressed with the Chiefs‘ brass right now. Impressed enough that if they get all our picks signed quickly enough I might even drop the Arrowhead boycott.

Update: Just read that he’s a standout special teamer.
The Chiefs went with S DaJuan Morgan out of N.C. State with its third third -round pick. I can already hear the grumbling, but, hey, maybe the Chiefs aren’t as high on Bernard Pollard and Jarrad Page as fans are. Some fans act like they’ve both [...]
