AADQ: Best Receiver In The 2009 NFL Draft Class?

As you all know, I think Michael Crabtree is far and away the best receiver in this draft class. But not everyone agrees with me. My old man, Mizzou homer that he is, thinks Jeremy Maclin will be better. Brian over at Phin Phanatic likes Kenny Britt. I know Double D loves him some Darrius Heyward-Bey. Recently, I’ve even read some comments throwing names like Hakeem Nicks and Percy Harvin into the convo. So, we’ll let you be “the decider”…

Chiefs Should Trade Back And Draft J-Mac

After listening to Mel Kiper, Todd McShay and all the other experts, you would think that the draft is a mere formality. Various draft sites have the Chiefs picking Aaron Curry, inside/outside linebacker from Wake Forest. They describe him as the “BEST ATHLETE AVAILABLE.” Other sites suggest Eugene Monroe, a former teammate of Branden Albert, who actually played left tackle at Virginia. But clearly these experts have too much time on their hands. I recently read an article suggesting the Lions pull a Vikings and delay announcing their selection until after the Chiefs to save $4 million in bonus money. We’re getting into silly season at this point.

But what about the Chiefs, what should they do? I have a rather simple solution — trade down 5-8 places, pick up additional picks (definitely a second-rounder to replace the one surrendered in the Matt Cassell trade) and then with their pick select J-Mac. But why J-Mac? First, Jeremy Maclin would immediately improve two of the three segments of the Chiefs — offense and special teams. J-Mac is a gamebreaker on both offense and special teams.
