Knee-Jerk Reaction: The Helicopter Has Landed

you can say that about ever year that it could a whiff you never know what we are going to get but the buzz on espn all day yesterday was how good we did so you never know tell year3 but can all of you take it and not help run herm out at the hafe way point of the new kids you can say that but let say all of are guy we got this weekend are all probowl players you never no

3 years no touchdown? holy hell. Well like i said i trust herm on the CB. I would like to have seen schmitt or another OL but overall still a great draft, im not as high on dixon. And yay for Colt, dunno how well he will fit for the redskins but at least if he does do good he will get paid well haha

I have a feeling we might look back and consider this (5th) round a whiff. Could have had Dennis Dixon, Owen Schmitt, Jerome Felton, Carl Nicks, or Roy Scheuning. Ah well . . .

3 years no tds against carr wow 50 passes defensed 39 batted 11 ints wow div 2 soso

Apparently, according to Jaws, Herm loved Carr and talked about him earlier today. Looks like we got another one of our guys.

I'm out for awhile. I'll check back in with my recap tonight!

agreed cisper

We should trade up and get Nicks now our wate and hopefully have Barry Richarson or Eric Young still there.

got the vid to play this cat carr has a 4 min vid of ints? how many in his career?

we did great this draft you cant fault us at all

found carr on youtube couldnt get it to play

He's just a hater. Lot's of people hate Carl, but give the man a little credit for this draft.

also pickrd up a kcstar this morn man jabba is crazy too

look we REALLY NEEDED CBs now we should stick to o line

good size speed hopefully he can play

Looks like we are set with the two Brandons at corner, or at least moving towards that direction. I think we really got both guys half a round or so late, too. And both guys were picked early for Herm corners.

next best thing to DRC cool

Carr...

6’0, 205lbs, 4.43

Grand Vallety State

Second best small-school corner after DRC

Helped win the 2006 D2 Championship...

Double D,

I was partially wrong. I was right about not needing to go tackle and reach at No. 5. But the Chiefs did have to move up, which I was screaming for them to do after Chicago took Williams. Rebeard also predicting the run on OTs, but great call.

Brad Childress raving about Jared.

Brandon Carr, CB, GVS

I'll start my research :)

Owen Scmitt or Josh Johnson works here...so does Nicks if he is out there still...was cooking, so...

maybe josh johnson? owen schmitt? please no on dixon

we're on deck adam... :)

I understand they need running backs but it isnt a primary need... the line is and wideout and corner... for me I think we go linebacker this round

Can I just point out right now that I was the only one here who accurately predicted that there would be a run in the 1st round on OTs? Thank God the Chiefs did not fall into the trap of believing that there would be plenty of OL talent available in the 2nd round.

Btw Adam, you were completely wrong on this one.

I'm also happy to see that, so far, neither Dennis Dixon, not Owen Schmitt have been picked. Picking up Owen Schmitt in 5th round qualifies as being as good, if not better, than taking OG in the 2nd or 3rd round.

rd5 chiefs select? who ya got?

Kiper raving about our draft yesterday.

If you are a run-first team, you need more than one viable starting RB. If L.J. goes down, Kolby Smith is not a viable guy. Besides, Kolby will likely be more of a Kimble Anders guy from here on out.

And I think we are just taking our BPA. We'll get a couple more lineman and another CB.

we should have used the first third on a lineman or a wideout... not the running back. I agree with you jeremy.

Why haven't we selected another O-lineman? I say we should have with our last third round pick.

thx adam

oh yeah?

Jay your correct Macklin will be a first rounder no question

About 10 more picks as the Jeopardy song plays...

Parker is a Donkey, 'Beard.

one reason he was underutilized was a young kid for MU stepped up... now if they can draft him next year that would be magic...hahahahahhahahaha

most speculation is just that as we still dont know what off. we will see. yes a run first but, passing wise we dont know. as for can he play yes he can... and he will strech the deff... he should be able to make the team and if so help the others opposite of bowe, parker should be gone now

I work with a guy who played against will in high school. He said the QB would just throw it up to him even if he was double/triple covered, and will would go up and get it, hence the helicopter. As for being under utilized, its true that he could have been thrown to more, but he spent the year working his run blocking, and took a back seat to Jeremy Macklin, for good reason honestly. Macklin set the ncaa record for freshman all purpose yards. He'll likely be a first rounder in a year. The great thing about Will is he never complained about a diminished role, by all accounts he just wanted the team to win.

Thanks! I think we were looking at Kevin O'Connell. I really liked him, and when the Pats took him I said, damn, kid is going to be a player. Ainge, Johnson and Woodsen will be options as well.

I am wondering if we are going to draft a QB at all? Do we really like Tyler Thigpen to be our second? I think Damon Huard's days are numbered. Good work Adam, pretty fast on the postings.

This guy has unbeleivable speed and height. He will be a great deep threat and let Bowe get everything in between. I like it!!!!!
