My Chief Concerns: It’s Simple; Draft For Need

Pioli will trade down if O'Kung is gone. The Pioli way and the Patriots way, whose to argue with that. Seattle would be perfect they have 2 Ist round picks, trade down with them and grab another 2nd rounder, or even a third then trade one of our third round picks back into the second or? Lots of possibilities. I will be happy with anything but a DRASTIC reach. San Fran is another possibility. 88% chance Pioli trades down.

I agree with your assessment. Use your position in the draft to fill glaring needs. From what I've read, the top safety or linebacker is too good to ignore vs the tackle position. Select a tackle in Rd 2. Plus, it makes no sense to me to trade down and reward another team with a top 5 pick just to get another 3rd or 4th pick. The Chiefs new strong young talent, not 3 - 4 special teams picks.

JT thanks for the backup. Apparently we are the only ones that feel the same way about the guy. I missed the coaching thing. Should have made that point too.

Heck ya go chiefs im from Clovis New Mexico and we get like 2 or 3 chiefs games a year its all cowboys and donkeys crap here but i myself became a Chiefs fan because my whole family are cowboys fans why because they like to win i would guess well so do i and i would love to see the Red and Gold back in the playoffs by next season if WEvdont go 8-8 atleast Haley will major questions to answer no more 2-14 4-12 seasons in arrowhead we have enough talent now most starters are in there 2nd of the system FULL offseasons they know what to expect Jones Charles Bowe Chambers Cassell and with the Lilja and Weigmann pickups we have mid league to top 10 or 15 lines in the league its time for Page to resign and him and Flowers need to step up the secondary play and stay healthy and if we go with a D lineman in the 1st round it would be craziness 3 years in a row with d lineman i dont see it happening trade down Pioli please LET ME KNOW WHAT U THINK PPL

I love the idea of us taking Tate, he's destined to be a star with a name like that, plus he seems like a person of good moral fiber. As far as Page goes, he's had 4 seasons to show us something, and my only memories of him is making game saving interceptions againt Oakland a few times, and even picked Manning in the 06' playoff game if memory serves me correct. I must say though, although he ha had 4 years to prove himself, I think we can blame a lot of his shortcomings at Safety on the terrible coaching staff he has dealt with his entire career. Maybe Pollard went on to thrive becausehe played for a decent coaching staff, Herm brought in a bunch of has-beens to coach our positions. That being sad, I'd like to see Pae play under a Romo Crennel defense, who knows what he could be capable of?We still need to draft a safety,but Page deserves the benefit of the doubt. No pass rush= makes secondary look awful, i don't care if we've got Ronnie Lott and Polamalu back there, without a pass rush, you'll get torched, which is what has been happening to us a lot. I saygive Page a chance. I also say GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First off i beleive we are gonna resign jarrad page and corey mays so thats 2 needs gone and why do the chiefs need a NT so bad Ron Edwards Gilllberry and this new guy smith can hang till next year i say We need WR in round 2 or 3 Tate maybe ?

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!! OK. Did I get my point across yet? We ABSOLUTELY do NOT need BOTH safety positions filled. Until he got hurt Jarrod Page was phenomenal for the Defense! Why are you guys trying to get rid of him by drafting another "young stud" safety. We have one. YES, we can use another, but that is only because of the moronic decision to release Pollard, who, did DAMN good at Houston when he left here. Could we use some depth, MAYBE. I personally think DaJuan Morgan will be a good player if given half a chance now that Pollard is gone. If we add a safety in this draft as a backup to McGraw, Page and Morgan, I am ok with that as long as it is NOT the first three of our picks. We need dedicated and STARTING NT, LB, OL and WR help. Those should ABSOLUTELY be the first positions drafted by this team. Anything else is a luxury and we are shooting ourselves in the foot for taking any other position. Sorry, but this idea of Page not being good enough for you guys REALLY ticks me off. He has shown more flashes of brilliance in his short career than DJ or Studebaker, but yet you guys keep wanting them in the game. Give me a break this is getting really stupid and ridiculous.

You have to use a lot of what if's when you start choosing what your priorities are. I would suggest that you look at the Chiefs as a new expansion team with no players on the roster and you are going to pick your roster from the draft list. Put your positions in the order of what you think of most importance. Then match that list with the players on the Chiefs roster and see where the weakest positions are in the order of importance for you to build a new team. It takes away those who you have fallen in love with and makes it crystal clear that the NFL is right when they place a value on QB, LT, NT, and Rush specialists at the top of their boards and saftys and linebackers close to the bottom.

This draft is deep with talent, especially at the positions of need for us. Honestly, I just can't sell myself on McLain, his speed and overall toughness will hurt him at the pro level. And I'm starting to ask myself, Where would Dan williams be ranked if McCoy and Suh were not in this draft? He Probably would be a top 5-10 prospect at least IMHO. I would love to see us take Williams at #5, Taylor Mays at 2a (even if you have to trade up, and only if Earl Thomas is gone), and at 2b Donald Butler ILB Washington. If these guys fall to us, our defense is solidified. What do you guys think of these top 3?

I agree that we should hold off at center and I also think the TE isn't a complete wash. Have we retained Pope? Maybe Cottam won't be so bad. Who know's? My point is agree with all of the positions you have declared a need, but some are a much higher priority (ILB, FS, SS, NT). Great post Jeremy and for the most part I agree totally. It isn't rocket science.

I think that is what will happen. We will Jump down there and take Dan Williams. I think they will try there hearts out to trade down though first and get some extra picks. Lets face it if Suh is not there then it is unlikely because I don't think there are to many people that are impressed with Jimmy Clausen.

I think we are fine at center. Casey is solid. We can wait till next years draft for that.
