I want Clark signing checks! As far as drafts go my heart says O-line but my head says Defense. How can you not address the most glaring problem first in a draft. Our defense could improve 10 spots next season in the overall rankings and still be not be in the top half of the league. Yesterday should have been a wake up call to anyone who thinks we should look elsewhere with our first pick. CEDRIC F'n BENSON people!!! Running behind a patchwork o-line with Chris Henry as the #1 WR. And the Bengals kicked our ass up and down the field. Who should we draft first? I have no clue. But he better play on the defensive side of the is all I'm saying. Screw Knocking on Doors. I want Clark signing checks!

We avoided FA last year and can't afford to do it this year. Right now Cleveland is getting a lot of press about Cowher. Some of these head coaches being fired are proven offensive and defensive coordinators. We need to make the move on the GM now before all the available coaches get sucked up. I hope Clark is knocking on doors. I have to agree with the statements about the GM and Head Coach being the priority. We avoided FA last year and can’t afford to do it this year.

You put mediocre QB's behind a great O-ine and suddenly they're great QB's. And for all the talk about LBs, they're not going to be much good if they have to constantly take on 300lbs behemoths because the D-line is weak. On that note, I think the Chiefs should draft O-line and go for D-line in FA. Get Andre Smith if he's available. Go for centers like Mack or Unger in the second. In FA, go all out for Peppers or Suggs (I prefer Peppers, but would be happy with either). The Chiefs have plenty of cap space and there are some good, relatively young, defensive FAs available, so they should take advantage.

Nobody wants to give up to much because the salaries are so high. If memory serves correct i think the position with the least amount of busts have been OT depending on the caoch and what kind of offense they want running with game Andre Smith (he mauls people) or pass protection Oher. Bradford is only an option if he sits for a year while they straighten out the O-line or he ends up being the next Joey Harrington or David Carr.

I also don't think we could go wrong with getting the best O lineman either if we could trade down and still get one. How about this for our Management mess? The "reality team" Dick Vermeil GM, Mangini HC, Herm DC. Unless of course the "dream team" is avaialble, Pioli GM and Cowher HC.

You would think that St. Louis would target Smith, but you never know how a new coach is going to view Bulger. -If Bradford/Stafford are still on the board at 3, the Chief's best hope for a trade is Seattle. Cincy is going to have to decide if Palmer's elbow is holding together, and Seattle really needs a QB. The Matt "Back Spasm" Hasselbeck era is most likely over. If Cincinatti keeps everyone guessing about Palmer's status, then Seattle might be forced to pull the trigger. That would suit me just fine. I would much rather see the Chiefs drafting at 5 in LB country. -Seattle looks good for a trade for Crabtree also. I think Old Chief got an invite to go and play the slot from them this year. If Cincy lets Whosyourdaddy get away in FA, then Seattle will need to leap frog Cincy again. Come on Hawks!!! -Other trade scenarios that would favor the Chiefs: 1)Al Davis decides that Crabtree will fix the O-line 2)Singletary wants to moon Crabtree and/or Stafford/Bradford 3)Jax decides that the Matt Jones cocaine supplement training program should be replaced by Crabtree. As much attention as the young QB's are going to get, it may be the Texas Tech WR that gives the Chiefs the most leverage. Only Seattle and San Fran really need QB's, while Cincy, Seattle, Oakland, San Fran and Jacksonville are all dying for a go to WR. If Bradford doesn't come out because he lost the title game, then Crabtree's stock will flippin soar. LET's GO GATORS!!!! 2009 Top Ten draft order:

1) Detroit (need QB)
2) St Louis (need QB…maybe)
3) Kansas City (Need QB…maybe)
4) Cincy (All rests on Palmer’s elbow)
5) Seattle (Needs QB)
6) Oakland (Needs QB, but doesn’t think so)
7) Cleveland 8) San Fran (Needs QB)
9) Jacksonville
10) Green Bay
