Comments on: Is #5 Too High To Draft A Nose Tackle? http://arrowheadaddict.com/2010/03/02/how-high-is-too-high-to-draft-a-nose-tackle/ A Kansas City Chiefs Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and more Sun, 12 Feb 2012 07:42:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Chad http://arrowheadaddict.com/2010/03/02/how-high-is-too-high-to-draft-a-nose-tackle/#comment-32926 Chad Sat, 06 Mar 2010 13:49:59 +0000 http://arrowheadaddict.com/?p=7516#comment-32926 Matt, I completely agree. Williams with the #9, though I would also be happy with McClain (assuming his pro-day reflects the ability people think he has) or Haden (ditto). Best OLB with 2a, Pouncey with 2b, though I would go RG (Asamoah, Johnson) or K Wilson if he slips. Shipley or WR that slips would also be cool. Then take B Tate in the 4th to bolster the weapons on offense, and Veldheer in the 5th for depth at OT. Matt, I completely agree.

If Bradford has a good pro day, I don't see how they can pass on yet another franchise QB. If they take Bradford, I think the next three picks are Suh, McCoy, and Okung. Washington is just as desperate on O-line as we are, and Campbell did show some flashes of talent last year. That leaves us with #5 and Berry available. We would be the team to trade with for Claussen, because Seattle should take him if he's available. I think we've gotta trade down if possible. We need all the picks we can get. The bigger question at #9 is do you go with Williams, or best OL available (Davis/Bulaga). Very tough call, but my gut says it's Williams. There will be some very good interior O-line or RGs left in the upper 2/3rds of the 2nd round, and we'd likely have 3 picks there if we traded our 5th with Buffalo. Having said that, I think KC goes with Thaddeus Gibson at the top of the 2nd. Best OL available with next pick...Pouncey could even be there at #41. If Gerhart's available at #50 I'd be happy with those first 4 picks. The chances of St. Louis taking Sam Bradford are looking up.

You just don't know. That being said, the quality and depth of this draft is be heralded...which also sets it up for failure, I know. However, if the Chiefs get the #9 and Buffalo's 2nd, there is no doubt they should pull the trigger. There would be a ton of talented players to choose from at #9 (Williams should be one of them), as well as the potential to trade down again if someone like Miami/Denver is in love with him. Imagine walking into the 2nd with 4 picks (one from Miami/Denver) in the 2nd, and 2 in the 3rd. Just think about that and how many impact players you could rebuild this team with based on the depth of the draft. Never mind the talent grabbed with the Miami/Denver pick. I am all about quality over quantity, but if both are available, I don't think the Chiefs could keep themselves from grabbing so many valuable picks versus the perceived ability of a single player.
