2012 NFL Mock Draft: Chiefs Go For A Lineman

@zippy74 Ummm.....what?

What exactly is your question?

@zippy74 You're going off about TB taking a QB when he has them taking a WR.

@MichaelShaw They have 2 first round picks!

Plus we could get their #27 and #31 or 32.

@MichaelShaw We're thinking alike on this one

@calchiefsfan sounds perfect to me!!!!!

@calchiefsfan Mike adams will be off the board before the 2nd round if not i will be very shocked but i do like DeCastro and Sanders our line would be solid

@rockygentleman@calchiefsfan I like DeCastro with our 11. Asamoah, Hudson, DeCastro. As I read earlier this morning, "The tip of the arrow must be sharp".

I like this idea more IF professional talent evaluators conclude DeCastro is also RT material because: 1. RT is NO. 1 priority this year IMO; 2. no guarantee that Sanders or other starting caliber RT will be available to us in R2; and 3. we have so many pressing needs that must be addressed through combination of free agency and our top 4 or 5 picks even assuming Bowe and Carr are both resigned--NT, RBF, TE depth, SILB, QB depth-- and if either Bowe or Carr is not resigned then you can add that position as well. One more good free agency and draft this year, and assuming no key career threatening injuries this season, I think we could be in a position where in 2013 we could be drafting for depth/future succession and trading to stockpile higher round future round picks like the Patriots do. Hopefully, we will have enough FA success before the 2012 draft that we can do what you propose even if DeCastro is not a RT option, but right now...?

@JohnMorrow I would never want to put DeCastro at RT, The reason for optimism of getting a solid RT in the second is that this draft seems to be pretty deep at OT . Plus, I see our defense as being pretty solid and our offense a different story. In my opinion Interior o line is more of a need than d line. We couldn't even get 1 yard when we needed it. No push what so ever. That's why I like the DeCastro pick. But I do agree RT is our # 1 priority.

Agree defense is more solid than offense (assuming Carr is resigned), but NT is my #2 priority, even if Gregg re-ups for another year. He wore down this year and it takes awhile for d-linemen to develop. Sure didn't see much of our R6 NT pick last season, so I don't have a clue if he is going to ever be more than depth, if that. Never say never about DeCastro at RT until we know what the professional talent evaluators say and what our situation is and options are at the time a decision is required.

@JohnMorrow I have a problem with our beat writers Like Adam Teicher not giving us the intel on our non starting players. I have been wondering if because of the strike shortened off season last year if that didn't set Powe back. I would certainly like to see how he'll develop before we spend a high draft pick on another NT. I'm forever ticked that Pioli drafted Tyson Jackson instead of B.J. Raji when he had the chance.

@ArrowFan Agreed

@kctenn44 That would work

@kctenn44 Sanders makes a lot on sense in the 2nd if we don't go OT in the first round, but he's been getting beat pretty consistently by the better pass rushers at the Senior Bowl this week.

@LyleGraversen @kctenn44 I saw that too, Lyle. Maybe Mims is now ready, I hope so.

We outsiders have about the same amount of info about both Mims and Powe--ZILCH. I am not about to buy the "Hope and Change" mantra any more now than in the Presidential race 3 years ago!
