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. Before, I thought all of this rebuild-through-the-draft talk was just the Chiefs being frugal. In the NFL Draft’s aftermath, however, my opinion is starting to [...]

I’m out until later tonight when I chime back in with my Chiefs‘ Day Two grades and recap. Three things:
A.) Until then, I’m opening up this open thread for Chiefs fans to sound off on King Carl and this draft haul.
B.) I’m off for vacation tomorrow for a couple weeks, and won’t be checking in [...]

Update: The Bucs just took Johnson and the Saints just took Nicks. Ouch. It is clear to me that we feel we have so many holes that we are absolutely not willing to sacrifice picks to move up. Oh well, I tried.
I’m going to make this short and sweet. I know he has character concerns, [...]

K-State fans didn’t get Jordy Nelson, Kansas fans didn’t get Aqib Talib, but Mizzou fans will get to see WR William Franklin, aka The Helicopter, in Red and Gold. Let’s all hope he turns out better than Brad Ekwerekwu, the former Tiger and Redbeard’s personal savior who got cut a year ago.
Back to Franklin. My [...]

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 [...]

I finally got one of my Draft Apples! Chiefs fans might be scratching their heads now on this one, but down the road they will be loving big Brad Cottam. 6-foot-8, almost 270 pounds and he was among the top five tight ends in the 40 (4.63), bench press (24 reps) and vertical (33 inches). [...]

The Chiefs must’ve really liked Jamaal Charles to take a running back this early in the draft, so I’m on board with this pick. Like I said during the Run DMC dialogue we had, we need to protect our investment in Larry Johnson and we lose too much when Kolby Smith tries to step in [...]

What a day, baby, what a day. The consensus is in: the Chiefs pwned the first round of the 2008 NFL Draft.
First, we get DT Glenn Dorsey out of LSU, the top guy on the Best Bros.’ combined Big Board. You watch this dude’s highlights and you see the second coming of Warren Sapp. He’s [...]

In honor of probably my favorite college basketball squad to ever hit the hardwood (FYI, I was 12 when The Fab Five came out…to me, seeing them play Duke for the first time early in the ‘91 season was like seeing The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show)…
OT Chris Williams, Vanderbilt: It’s not Big Willie [...]

We are a mere 24 hours away from the NFL Draft, yet nobody has any clue what the hell is going on.
Most fans have jumped off one Long (Jake Long) bandwagon and on to another (Chris Long). The experts are also thinking defensive end. Don Banks and Dr. Z say Vernon Gholsten. Todd McShay thinks [...]
