I want to sign proven guys at DT and DE. Moore at wr. Draft should be on need after FA. Mays is a potential game changer, as is Curry.
I have rethought this and have a new draft.
Trade first #3 down to good ole Al Davis #7 and pick up Oakland 2nd and 4th. Trade Tony G and Oakland’s 4th for Philly’s 1st rounder #22 (they have two picks).
R1 #7 LB Rey Maualuga USC
R1 #22 OT Eben Britton Arizona
R2 #34 OG Hermann Johnson LSU
R2 #40 DE Connor Barwin Cincinnati
R3 #67 RB Rashad Jennings Liberty
R4 #98 DT Ron Brace Boston College
R5 #131 SS Otis Wiley Michigan State
R6 #162 LB Antonio Appleby Virgina
R7 #194 Q ?

Good chance that three LB are gone at 10, Mays is good, Page is average and a FA. How many long plays did the Chiefs give up this year?

102 – why take Mays (or alternatively, Moore) with our first pick? We need a good SS more than we need a FS. The only college SS truly worthy of a 1st round pick is Darrell Stuckey and he’s decided to stay in school for another year. If we’re picking #10, we should be able to come away with either Laurinaitis or Maluaga – either makes infinitely more sense.

Aaron Maybin is the best pass rusher at the DE position if he chooses to come out early. He is really fast off the line.

Merlin – I’m with you on Everette Brown – seems to me to be a little more complete player than either Orakpo or Johnson.

Honestly, I don’t want to even think about drafting a DE until I see what happens in FA.

My plan is this:
Sign Suggs DE, sign Lance Moore WR, sign OT Jordan Gross.
Draft: Trade down to #10 With San Fran. get their second rounder.
R1 #10 S Taylor Mays USC
R2 #34 LB Brandon Spikes Florida
R2 #43 LB Dannell Ellerbe Georgia
R3 #67 OG Herman Johnson LSU
R4 #98 OC Antione Caldwell Alabama
R5 #131 LB Darry Beckwith LSU
R6 #162 DE Michael Bennett Texas A&M
R7 #194 QB ?

Well my point was you all were talking about “impressive workouts don’t matter, it’s all about on-field performances.”

And I was just saying it didn’t work out too well going by on-field performance with Hali.

Maybe a combination of both football talent and work out talent is what’s needed.

The experts were right about Tamba. The only good thing you hear about Tamba is that he plays hard. I’m glad Tamba plays hard, but is that really a compliment? Shouldn’t we expect all guys to have a good motor? I have grown frustrated by a sentiment I have heard that Tamba would be good with a great DE because he is only a complimentary part and can only get sacks with a top end rusher on the other side. You don’t waste a first round pick on a guy that can’t do it without another great end. So having said all that. Hali was a reach. Now I digress, to what I don’t know, but I digress.

pc9165:

I don’t know what your point is, but I can answer your question about whether the Chiefs reached for him. They did.
