Yes! Fantastic pick by the Chiefs' brass. Glenn Dorsey has routinely been called the best player in this draft and the Chiefs obviously could not pass on his talent. Even with Herm Edwards penchant for rounding up picks, Dorsey was simply too good to pass up.

Making this pick even more incredible, the Chiefs turned down a last minute offer from the Saints. The offer was this year's first round pick (#10) and next year's second round pick.


**UPDATE 12:05 PM CDT** PFT is reporting that ESPN said that the Raiders will select RB Darren McFadden with the #4 pick.


Well, here we are. The most important draft in the history of the Kansas City Chiefs.

I'll be updating this post with the picks. In the meantime, we have a plethora of fantastic FanPosts to keep you entertained. Check them out to the right side of the page. NFL.com's coverage is here.

So, dive right in and start commenting.

GO CHIEFS!!!

Whats the chance, since we heard all thr rumors this Spring about Al Davis

canning Lane Kiffen, that Kiffen screws Davis with the fist pick and selects a nobody? Woudn’t that be a hoot!

Remember Al uses a walker, he cant chase down the guy who takes the card up to Goodell.

Finally

After a hectic two days with Miss Arrowhead Pride’s family, I’m sitting down in front of the computer and finally feeling relaxed.

GOOOOOOOO CHIEFS!!!!

Chiefs are on the clock

From PFT the Raiders will take McFadden.

Rams will take C Long
Falcons will take Matt Ryan
Raiders take McFadden

That means Dorsey for us !!!!!!!!!!!! Or this is all trade bait.

Nice

Glenn Dorsey? I’ll take it. He’s Kiper’s #1 rated player.

I'd rather have Ellis.

And if Dorsey is available, we should trade back with the Saints or someone who is in love with G. Dorsey, and then pick up an OT later on.

Good point

Dorsey does provide a lot more trade leverage than Ellis.

Disagree

I love the idea of trading down and getting more picks, but if Dorsey is on the board at #5 the Chiefs need to take him.

Dorsey is the one transcendent talent in this draft, the one guy who will make other players around him better, and fills a slot that has been a consistent need for the Chiefs since the days of Dan Saleaumua. Dorsey will make Tank Tyler a better player, will free up our linebackers to make tackles, and will compensate for fact that we will be lacking at defensive end and cornerback.

Draft Dorsey if he is there. If Dorsey is gone, trade down and acquire more picks.

That's my vote

I’d love to have Dorsey.

You know what, you may have just changed my mind...

I have thought since January that since we play mostly a Tampa 2 scheme, Sedrick Ellis would be the better fit for our D.

Plus, I figured Dorsey would, without a doubt, be gone by the time we picked.

But y’know, it would be pretty sweet if we got Dorsey, and while I’m still not going to go as far as dying to choose Dorsey over Ellis, I certainly won’t be upset if we choose Dorsey.

Honestly, I trust Herm and you guys, and since most of you guys (and Herm, from what I have read) like Dorsey better, I’ll defer.

Regarding Brandon Albert, though, I’m sticking my ground. ;)

Sounds like the Draft really begins at 2:05....lol
Bob Gretz

i still cant believe he was fired. he was actually accurate unlike whitlock.

I know

I’m completely shocked.

ESPN is reporting rumors

of the Rams selecting Chris Long.

ESPN projections

If it goes down this way….

Long
Long
Ryan
McFadden
......

Dorsey is there. So is Gholston. Those are two guys that several teams would be willing to give something up for.

Yes.

Here is what I want to do if such a situation presents itself…

1) Trade Down to 9/10/something like that (both the Bungles and Aints love G. Dorsey and Ellis)
2) Dorsey
3) Ellis
4) Gholston

ESPN Draft projection

It’s in that PFT link too.

1. Jake Long
2. Chris Long
3. Matt Ryan
4. Darren McFadden

I say take Dorsey if that happens
Chiefs will rob other teams if they trade down from Dorsey

Its going to take one hell of a deal to get the Chiefs to trade down from Dorsey. Peterson is going to hold them up for all he can get out of them.

Shockey?

Do we field 2 studly tight ends? I say no, but it’s interesting. I’d pull the trigger on Dorsey after losing Allen

Not a chance on Shockey

He’s not a KC type of guy…kinda like LJ….

No on Shockey

Not a Herm or Chiefs type of move.

You’re right though, that is interesting.

If he intimidated Eli, imagine what he would do to Brodie
Call him a redneck

The guy’s name is Eli, I’m just sayin, Eli’s suzy-ness is unparalleled.

His actual name is actually

‘Elisha’.

So, even worse than Eli, I guess.

Wikipedia it, it’s true…

The media is getting played hard

This is the thickest BS being swallowed as truth I have seen in a long time. The draft may go down as is reported, but this smacks of trade posturing.

Agreed

PFT made a good point. If these reports are to be believed, then someone is leaking info from the war room. That would be tough to believe.

Thanks

I always catch myself actually believing these reports.

I enjoy reading the rumors, but I’m in the I’ll believe it when I see it mode

I buy all of that up to the Raiders

I concur, the Chris Long thing seems legit, and he does have Gattica’d DNA, but Atlanta, well I kinda trust the rumors, and Ryan would effectively negate the Vick scandal, but I never trust what Al Davis is doing.

DNA Sample: Gattica'd. That quote is liquid awesome.
So what happens if McFadden falls?

I mean sure Al Davis likes the flashy flashy but old coot is loco, so what do we do if we’ve got the RB in the draft in our lap with LJ in the wings?

Don't think we'll do it

But there are plenty of teams who would…

We entertain trade offers

If that’s even possible in the ten minute window.

I wouldn't mind taking him.

I am not going to lobby for it though. LJ only has about 3 years of peak production left in him, max. We could extend that and extend the life of McFadden. Both would have contracts to be happy with (for awhile). LJ, DMC, and Kolby would be a stout stable.

But I think it is the most unlikely scenario.

Here is a draft day question sorta

What of Charlie Casserly as Chiefs next GM? Been around the NFL quite awhile.

I still like the idea of Marty replacing Carl

He is a players type of guy, knows the game inside and out. Great talent evaluator. Needs a job.

Yeah I like that idea also

Is that what Marty is holding out for?

I'm up for Marty as GM...

As long as he doesn’t try and get back into coach as a dual Coach/GM.

That never, ever, ever works…

That be OK, but the first time he screws up on a player

the angry roar of, “he’s the Real Deal!” will be deafening.

not that it matters...

but casserly talks like he knows everything on NFL network. he also said he would never draft aquib talib.

Is there any possibility in this day and time

we could end up with Dorsey and Albert?

Sure.

We take Dorsey at #5 if he falls, then we trade up to something like #11 if Albert is still there from #17 and take him there.

I don’t want to do that at all, I like Chris Williams much much better, but it is possible…

Rumors

are saying Chris Williams has a neck injury that wasn’t reported.

Is it serious?

I really like him, so hopefully that it isn’t serious, and he will slide to #17 and we can snap him up.

Albert will probably be around at #17

The only other team I’ve heard him associated with is #23 to the Steelers. Who cares what McShay or Kiper say?

That's what ESPN had

They have us moving down to #10 (From Saints) and drafting Alberts, so i could see him being there at #17

Let me say

that auto-refresh kicks ass.

Agreed
No kidding, this is sooo much easier now
I just wish I had that software that allows you to just talk, no typing
I wish I could use these command features in long ass email chains at work.
Also, the little pop-up showing who has posted something new also kicks ass
Gameday will be cool!
Mooch for next HC!
We might hit 100 posts before the draft even starts.
More than likely

I’ll open up another thread once we hit 300-400.

I wish one of the Royals could hit that
Chris any news on

Who we are looking at very closely?

Watching ESPN and reading a bunch of stuff

No consensus anywhere on who we’ll pick or any new rumors beyond what we’ve reported here in the comments.

Man

I never realized what a thickneck “the Rog” was

Almost turkey like
Otah at 17?
I have a feeling the Bears will take him at #14...

I would rather have Williams anyways…

I'm still not buying this whole releasing picks thing...

No way this is actually truth that is being revealed.

Sure, it might happen this way, but I wouldn’t be shocked if even a couple of teams stray from the supposed, released list.

As far as TV coverage

which do you guys prefer…NFL Network or ESPN?

NFL Network..

Although Mayock is really annoying, he isn’t as annoying as Kiper.

I do watch both, though...
I was wondering the same thing.
Matt Ryan

Just popped off with at the end of the day, gee who has he been talking to.

Yeah, but that's OK. That's what's great about him.
Matt is fine , he is ok
He made a few rookie cliche mistakes, but that's OK. That's to be expected.
I'll stop now, so we don't spam the board too much.
Thats ok

We still have Brodie and Damon we will be fine.

Ravens trying to move to number two

They want Matt Ryan.

That would be a dumb move...

Although I would like it, since we would then be absolutely guaranteed one of C. Long, Dorsey or Ellis.

Ryan was way too INT-prone in college, and except the injury history, isn’t all that different from our own Brodie Croyle.

Strong arm, makes a lot of mistakes and dumb throws, and not always the most accurate QB in the world.

Can't see that Happening

Unless the Rams think that Chris Long will fall to #8.

DBowe runs through our Blog Chanting

“60 minutes till Draft time”

Longest. Hour. Ever.
NO trying to get number four.
I am a little concerned about the Carl P article today on Warpaint

What if he trades down just for more picks with one of those studs still available?

I think it's Herm draft

That’s what the papers and other sites have reported.

With that said, I’m nearing gambling status about the Chiefs trading down. It’s gonna happen.

Me too, Chris

Dorsey or Ryan will be there….several teams want each of those guys bad.

On that note

If we were willing to trade away our best defensive player for multiple draft picks, doesn’t it make sense that we would NOT draft a player who could yield multiple picks?

If you haven't read the Parade's

latest FanPost, it’s worth it.

NFLN Rumor:

Saints are trying to trade up to #4 to nab Dorsey.

That would suck..

Maybe

It sounds like we’re pretty committed to trading down.

Steve Young is saying on ESPN

the only way Atlanta can turn the page from the Vick saga is to Draft Ryan.

I like Keyshawn's response

“It’s not that easy. People are going to remember Michael Vick no matter what.”

LOL... I can tlisten and type at the same time...I missed that
Hey ESPN

On draft day, NO ONE cares about the NBA Playoffs

Looks like PFT crashed.

I imagine they are getting an insane amount of hits today.

Yeah, a ton I bet

They got like 1.5 million on the start of free agency…probably well over 2 million today.

At least when we were down

We had a graphic that said what was up.

Kind of surprised it reads, "Database error," instead of "Server error."
20 min until the Draft. Mike Florio is presently going apeshit.
Shall we dare to call today...

A Chiefsmas Miracle?

Goodell just said on NFL Net that they will look at the way things transpired

with Miami being able to negotiate with several players, then choosing and signing Long before the Draft. He wants to know if it is an unfair advantage to the first pick. Although most teams wouldn’t want the first pick for obvious reasons.

I'm calling it now

Chiefs trade down almost no matter what. Granted, they need a partner in this deal but I think that’s going to happen.

We traded away Allen for multiple picks. We’ll do the same with our #5 draft pick. It’s the team’s philosophy now.

I agree with the logic, but, damn,

I’d like to think we come out of this with at least 1 premier player and not 2nd or 3rd best.

RE

Maybe Herm doesn’t believe you need a “premiere” player.

Seriously.

That makes a ton of

sense as I sit here and read back what I just typed.

It depends on how far we trade back...

but I wouldn’t necessarily be opposed to trading back.

We do need a lot of help at a lot of different positions, although it would be nice to come out of it with a stud.

I believe he doesn't too

That;s why we are in a catch 22. If these guys turn out to be Pro Bowlers in 3 years, and we need to re-sign them. That is if Herm is still here.

Big if

This city is used to winning. And by “used to winning” I mean hasn’t won a playoff game in 15 years.

Sorry, meant to nest that one.
I don't think

Herm is against keeping players that develop beyond their expectations. Maybe just the ones like Jared Allen, who was a major superstar who was somewhat disruptive to management?

If so, we need to re-sign DJ now.
So let me ask a fair question

Is Clark letting CP and Herm draft for the next Coach? Is Clark going to let a stud get away?

Depends on how much

they believe in Herm.

NFL Net is going to rerun Hard Knocks with the Chiefs

beginning May 9th

Just saw that too.

The promo should be, “How to field a crappy team.”

I remember last year how many comments from teams

on how bad we looked in training camp. But, I’ll watch it again. I’m an addict.

NFL Nest says Ravens Mgt heard the report on moving up

and said it wasn’t true. It would cost them their entire draft picks, aka Mike Ditka and the Saints.

Jeebus, is the NFL or TMZ.com?
The amount of bullshit

is accelerating big time.

lol...I know less at this minute than I did when I woke up.

I am so distrusting of everything right now, you could tell me I am a male, and then I would secretly suspect I’m a female.

I am going to go check my pants.

Me too...

Everything is being interpreted as a smoke screen by me, although ESPN is accepting everything as fact.

They have all but put Chris Long into the tracker as being drafted by the Rams.

"Covet"

What’s the over under on it’s usage by the talking heads today?

or my misuse of "it's"
Mock

A Mock Draft on NFL has us trading with New England (#7) and drafting Matt Ryan and then Michael Jenkins with the 17th pick

Interesting

Everything I’m reading is that the Chiefs aren’t interested in Ryan.

So the question of the hour is...

Is the Chiefs first pick going to be on the stage at the Draft or not?

What do you mean by on the stage?

Do only the first rounders do that or something?

No, the players they invite

They only invite 6 or 7 players each year to actually be at the draft.

He’s saying he wonders if we will trade down or take a shot at #5.

Apparently they only introduced Long, Long, Ryan, McFadden, Dorsey, Ellis and Gholston
10 minutes to go...

Get a beer, snack, and a preemptive trip to the bathroom! We will live and die by this weekend.

Why...

Do I have this feeling we will either
1). Trade down and get ripped off
OR
2). Draft someone that is not #5 pick worthy (Kinda like Ryan Sims)

Draft Time!

in HD baby!

NO!!!

I have lost my remote!

I have to admit

This is just as exciting as the last few laps at Daytona with my man in the number 5 position.

3, 2, 1,...

GO!

I can't believe how freaking nervous I am.
I'm anixous as hell

Here we go!

Me too...

This is an incredibly important Draft for us, and I am awfully nervous we will screw it up, somehow.

Good, Miami officially took Jake Long already. No dinking around like in years’ past…

We gotta take Glenn Dorsey

if he’s still there. We know he can play injured!

you're right

If Ryan is gone, and we trade to 10 with the Saints for Dorsey, I don’t think Albert falls past the Ravens.

Damn

Missed out on Jake Long.

your a faster typer than me
ROFL

He’s too small to make it in the NFL anyway, better off without him.

Agreed!

Too many questions by experts on his potential NFL performance at LT.

He could be an absolutely stellar RT..

although I’m not sure if he could move to LT.

In hindsight, I’m kind of glad we didn’t get him…

Well, not really hindsight, but you get what I’m saying…

I have a feeling

Jake will be coming our way in 4-5 years. He is a Dolphin offensive lineman…

LOL!

Yeah, he’ll come in an sub for RT.

These last few Coors light commercials

are actually tolerable.

I have to admit..

I’ve liked almost all of them.

Some of them are stupid stupid stupid, but the majority of them are funny.

Some of them, namely the Denny Green ones, are only funny because of the coach, and the lines written in are stupid.

Now is the time to put to rest all rumors

here we go Rams

Surprised we haven't heard from UCrawford today.
Uhoh

I just remembered that have to go buy some cat food before the vet closes.

Hmm,

Who else votes for me to go to the vet tomorrow?

Who is the guy sitting next to Steve Marruchi on NFL Net?
Mike Mayock?

or Marshall Faulk?

That is weird...

The Falcons went on the clock before the Rams officially made their pick…

Its a Long Long draft so far
Here we go Dorsey
Falcons, please take Ryan, please take Ryan, please take Ryan
C. Long gone...

I’m not too pissed off…

Hopefully, the Falcons don’t take Dorsey.

I have, only today, become a big Dorsey fan. Plus, that would allow us some serious options to trade back…

Please, Falcons, take Matt Ryan…

They are showing Matt Ryan smiling on the phone
It looks like Ryan is the pick...

He is all happy, kissing his mom, etc.

Awesome, awesome news…

YES!

Matt Ryan will be picked
Nice

Man, the draft, so far, is going the Chiefs way. Scary.

Dammit, Chris! Don't jinx it!!!
I figured the

“so far” wouldn’t jinx it. I did think about the jink…

+1.

I just hope we don’t screw it up…

Yes!

D-Mac and Dorsey still on the board. Great possibility of trade down situation with both on the board.

Lucky guy
3 money simply because he came out in a weak QB class.
So, assuming the Raiders take McFadden...

Would you rather:

A) Take Dorsey
B) Trade Down and pick up some extra picks

I prefer A, but like Chris, see B as a more likely possibility.

Prefer A

B will almost certainly happen. But I could be eating my works in twenty minutes.

Agreed!

I would love to sup’ up our D with Dorsey in the middle with Boone. If we do trade down, it better be for great compensation.

When you think of Atlanta

What’s the first thing that comes to mind?

"Winning games!"

I was waiting for the words “Michael Vick” and/or “Dogfighting” to come out, but I guess that would be a bad way to endear yourself to Falcon fans.

Oh, BTW, Falcons fans aren’t all that happy...

They had better pay my ass well to play there.
us in the Superbowl with Dorsey
Well

You just jinxed us. Damn.

Arrggghhhh! Everyone shut up! j/k
So,

Which poor schmo gets to go to the Raiders?

we have to sign dorsey.

if we trade down for any reason, i’m going to be sick

trade down?!?!

i don’t know if i could stomach passing up on a sure thing

Not our choice per se

But the most probability of happening IMO

Darren McFadden!

We are on the clock

Yes!!!!!!!!!
Wow

Remember now…we have to play against that guy twice a year….

That guy
* That guy + JaMarcus Russell...

they are getting better, of course they don’t have another pick till the 4th round, and they still can’t really stop the run.

But oh well…

Thanks

How in the hell did I do that?

I'll take that any day as long as we get Dorsey
NFL net guys are saying it is too hard to trade up into the top 5
Screw that guy...

In Dorsey we trust!

this is great so far.

i’m about to pee my pants with excitement.

-chris, we also have to play LT twice a year…

With our rush defense

We might as well throw Denver RB Selvin Young in there as well.

Depending on where we trade down and with whom...

I might not be too pissed off…

But I do really want Dorsey right now…

Do not Trade Dorsey!
Boo Yah

Dor-sey! Also, can I say that I’m glad Ryan is off the board, so the temptation to take a QB is greatly diminished with our pick

I'm shaking with nervousness

What is wrong with me????

Me too! It's like we're in the 4th quarter of the Super Bowl
WHY

MUST THEY GO TO COMMERCIAL????!!!!!!!?!!?

ESPN sucks...

switch to NFLN…

Carl Peterson

is a tool. He’s the anti-Bill Polian. I hate what he has done to the Chiefs. It’s hard to get excited about having so many picks in this draft, knowing that he’s an idiot.

BTW, love the tomahawk chop music!!!!

+1.

Love the music!

Holy Shit!

NO is offering this 1st and 2nd AND NEXT YEAR’S 1ST

OK, if that is Saints' offer for real...
10 this year, 2nd round this year and a 1st next year, I take it.

I love Dorsey, and he will be awesome, but that is a lot of value…

NFLN!!!!!

Why is he on a landline? Does he not have a cell phone?

Yea

but Dorsey is on the phone! With us?

Offer on the table

Saints? I missed it!

Trade

Hey, I’ll give you a bunch of future players so your team sucks again this year! Give me Dorsey!!!

The Chiefs will do that deal
I'm crying right now. Happy tears.

wow. can’t beleive they turned it down! kazaa!

God is so good to the Chiefs
It looks like we got Dorsey...

It’s hard to be pissed off when I have been calling for Dorsey all morning, but that trade looked awfully good.

Still, I am glad we actually took Dorsey.

WOOOHOO!

I like!

Dorsey or trade out….I was fine with either.

Me too after hearing the 'Aints offer...
Nu?

Is this good then?

Now we need a Offensive Tackle
chris williams

at 17 gets my vote!

+1.

I absolutely love Chris Williams…

me too

i like him more than albert. albert seems like a ryan sims repeat to me… and taking a guard seems dumb anyway.

OMG!

I agree with the Albert=Sims comparison…

It seems like you and me are the only ones that like Williams more than Albert though…

seems like

a really risky pick for what our needs are.

Damn

This is beautiful. Dorsey is a BBMF! This was an awesome pick. I am so glad that they did not trade down…F*%$ yeah!

hahahahaha!!!

best player in the draft!

I bet the Jets take Gholston..

and the Pats take Albert.

Just glad...

that we didnt pick albert. Anybody hear about the trade the saints offered the chiefs? We should have taken that in a heartbeat, but I guess herm loves glenn! Good, so do i!

Eh...

I wanted a premiere player in this Draft, and Dorsey is definitely one. At #10, we probably don’t get one…

It was a good offer, but we still got Dorsey…

I probably would have taken it, but oh well…

on a side note,

love the live updating chris. it absolutely ROCKS.

I'm in love with it

So easy.

Refresh

And take a look at the new Chiefs jersey at the top of this post….

Love it...

Quick question: Wasn’t Tank Tyler #72 last season?

Who has to switch numbers, the stud #5 overall pick rookie, or the second-year veteran?

is that real?

???

i’m buying one

Gholston=DeMarcus Ware...

Good fit in the 3-4 as the rush OLB that rushes the passer almost every time, like Ware is, but Gholston would have flopped if we drafted him, or anyone who runs a 4-3.

Glad we didn’t take him…

Wait, everyone....

PFT speculates the Saints could pick at 10 and then make the trade with us as written before.

If Ellis or Albert is picked by the Saints, hold your Red and Gold breathe.
Please, no Albert...

All of this positive energy will quickly evaporate if we trade frickin’ Dorsey for Albert plus some picks…

WHAT?!

that would make me punch a baby.

I don't know how the 2nd sentence became inset like that. That is not a quote from PFT.
Glenn Dorsey

Man, it’s sinking in. Great move.

I’m out for about 20 minutes or so.

Now that is how to draft

Drafting the best player available instead of reaching for a tackle. Looks like Peterson is actually listening to the coaches for once.

I may be wrong, but am pretty sure that Herm gets final say...

Or Carl does, but Herm tells him who to pick with Clark Hunt looking over the shoulder, making sure that Herm gets his way.

I don’t think that Clark Hunt, like the Chiefs’ fanbase, trusts Carl Peterson…

supposedly

peterson has no say in this draft. it’s all clark, herm, and kuharich

So, we're just keeping Carl to dick up the contract negotiations?

I think he needs to just be fired.

yea,

pretty much.

did saints

just trade with new england?

Since the Saints just traded with the Pats, I think we're safe
Saints just traded up for S. Ellis...

Guaranteed.

Saints need a DT, which is why they wanted Dorsey, but will now just accept Ellis…

Or, hopefully, this isn’t some great grand scheme involving Dorsey.

but the trade to get the Pats pick would lower the value of picks given to us.
unless they also give us Jammal Brown, and 2nd and next year's 1st
Yep!

Ellis to the Saints…

what did the Pats get out of the deal?

No one knows...

Probably the second this year and a 5th or 6th or 7th or something like that…

They just showed it on ESPN but I wasn’t really paying attention. I think they swapped 1st round picks and a 3rd for a 5th round?

Yea...

Pats get the Saints’ third rounder and the Saints get Pats’ 5th rounder…

That’s all…

WHAT!?!?!?

What did the Jaguars have to give up to move up to #8?

wow, another trade from BAL to JAX
Am I wrong or has Mayock been spot on with everthing that has and is happening?
It is scary, And the first 5 when down as reported.
He has done a pretty good job...

Better than anyone on E!SPN, that is for sure…

I don’t like his ranking of players, I disagree with them a lot, but he had been spot-on today.

Also, I am still doing my Dorsey happy dance!
He said in the pre show that all 13 KC picks would not make the team

so KC would need to do some trading to get out of the late rounds and move up some

Good deal for Ravens too...

They want a QB, so they might as well move down and take Brohm/Henne/Flacco.

Jags are trading for Harvey...

I agree with Mayock.

Do the Jags really think they are Super Bowl contenders?

I think the Pats grab Albert at 10
+1.

Harvey to Jacksonville at 8
Rivers to Cincinnati at 9
Albert to Pats at 10

I don’t want Albert, so hopefully it goes down like that and we can take Williams at 17…

phone rings in the Rivers household

I still can't believe we got Dorsey.

We got the consensus #1 from a month ago. Even if he busts, the front office made the right move. GO CHIEFS!!!

+1.

He is a fairly safe pick, as far as bust potential goes, and he has the chance to be one of the best DT’s in the NFL.

Great pick…

NFLN

I wish the talking heads would stop talking when somebody’s at the podium.

And what is wrong with the NFLN audio? Too bad this isn’t a multi-billion dollar industry or anything or that would look bad….what? it is? Oh.

What are the chances we land Ryan Clady for our next pick?
Bengals got screwed hard.

They needed Ellis badly, and the Saints reamed them. There isn’t a DT worth 10, unless they reach on Balmer.

They really like Rivers too..

That is who I took in the AP Mock Draft.

They have virtually no one at LB, and Rivers is wearing a Bengals hat right now…

Bengals

Should have traded Chad Johnson. Too true Bill.

The Ravens basically got what we got for Allen, just for the 8th pick.
1st, 2 3rd's, and a 4th
Yea, I guess so...

We didn’t get a 4, but our 1st is 9 spots ahead of the 1st the Ravens got…

I don’t know what that says about the value we got for JA…

Jags only gave up

two 3’s and a 4.

Not that bad, they kept their 2…

You are right, just a swap of 1st's. I wasn't considering the loss of their own 1st.
Who does everyone think the Pats are taking?

Albert?
Leodis?
Rodgers-Cromartie?

I bet it is Leodis, although I wouldn’t be surprised if they take Albert…

Hard to believe it would be a corner

They generally kinda throw anyone in there at corner and they do well

Agreed. I think it is OL or LB
Mayock votes for Rodgers-Cromartie...

I am getting nervous now about my pick, Mayock has been on-the-money so far…

Noisy

A partisan crowd me thinks!

W??

Mayo???

I was way wrong...

Mayo seems like a reach at #10, but the Pats know what they are doing.

They probably tried to trade down further, but there were no takers and they just took the guy they wanted…

NFLN coverage

I am surprised NFLN doesn’t have the nice sidebar stats like ESPN. On HD, they are only filling 80% of my screen.

NFLN's commentary is much better...

But ESPN’s stats and etc. is better…

Which is why I am flipping back and forth.

I'm doing the same
Think we'll trade up to beat the Broncs to our choice of OT?
Just thinking the same

only 1 OT so far…knocking on wood..no whammies

Yeah, DT

We gotta get through that Denver/Carolina/Chicago/Detroit…..all eligible to take a tackle

Detroit probably leans toward Mendenhall if he’s around.

What does everyone think about the 10-minute picks?

I like it SOOOOO much better, we are already at pick #11 80 minutes in, as opposed to at pick #6 or 7.

Not a big surprise there...

You had to figure that Buffalo would go CB at 11, either Leodis or Rodgers-Cromartie.

Now here is where it gets interesting…

I really want Chris Williams, but would take Clady and Otah as well, I guess…

It sure looks like we will get one of those three, with only five picks until we pick again…

The music for each team has been funny.

How about the Miami Vice theme for Miami at #1. Classic.

and John Denver for the Donks
Good, the Donks took Clady...

He has the highest bust potential of the tackles, IMO, after Albert.

Hopefully the Panthers opt for someone besides a tackle, so then Williams will slide to us…

completely agree
"Dorsey crushes Cutler! Ohhh, what a play!"

I’m so damn happy right now. Chiefs Gods, please extend our fortune over this draft.

I think Mayock is handing the Commish his own picks
Wow, how did Mayock know that?

I have heard absolutely nothing about Stewart going to Carolina, how did Mayock call it?

Wow…

Good for us, too.

Hopefully the Bears take Otah, then Detroit take Albert/Mendenhall and we can pick up Chris Williams.

That would be absolutely awesome…

that would be

AWESOME!

I usually have no idea what I'm talking about, but

(and I still don’t know what I’m talking about) what if we take Rodgers-Cromartie at 17 then take 2 OT’s in the second by trading up? I have this sinking feeling we go CB. It is not strong, but it keeps popping into my head

i think they keep all their picks and use them. even if we went comartie if he’s there, we should be able to get talib in the start of the 2nd. i think they take williams at 17 though.

that would prevent us from grabbing...

one of these quarterbacks in the 2nd round. but who knows….no quarterback may be available of any quality.

It wouldn't piss me off...

But my ‘dream’ plan right now is to take Williams at 17 and Talib at 35.

Then continue working on the O-Line in the third round tomorrow morning.

Your idea wouldn’t piss me off, but isn’t desirable IMO…

i just hope

that these kids get signed in time for training camp so they can get whipped into shape.

We won't be able to even practice this year if it's the usual Carl tactics.
Where is everybody?
I'm back...I was trying to relax a little with this huge smile

I was also studying the Tackle picks

I am

doing some baseball stuff, but still here

according to speculation

clark may head up contract talks if carl hits a stalemate…

not going to lie, i was playing call of duty 4.. because really, i don’t care who other teams pick at this point. we got dorsey, and that makes me uuber happy.

FUUUUUC…dge.

Williams is gone

:(

so much for williams
Damn, at this point it would be hard to pass up Mendenhall
rodgers Cromartie?
crap...

That sucks.

Now, I don’t know who to take.

I’m not high on Otah, not high on Albert (although I would be much more willing to gamble on him becoming a LT at 17 as opposed to 5) and I think 17 is too high to spend on a corner.

I vote for moving down in the draft…

McShay

As Otah really high on his board (If I remember correctly it was like 13th)

Why not keep Albert at Guard?
I'd take a potential 10 year OG at #17
Me too...

I don’t mind taking a G at 17 (or 15 now) and trying to convert him to LT, because if he doesn’t work out it isn’t all that bad.

But at #5, that would be crazy high…

TRADE WITH KC
Wondering what we gave up

eek

chiefs traded up!!!
HOLY SHIT!

can’t believe we traded up! what did we give? omg.

Trade

this is gonna be interesting…

albert is ours.
my money's on albert
We shouldn't of had to give up too much to just move up 2 slots...

Like what, a 5th or 6th round pick?

And now, I actually want Albert. Again, a much safer gamble now than earlier on…

yea, that's a 150 point move

i think… so a 5th round most likely.

There is only a 100 point difference in 15 and 17
Albert

solid pick. you can put him at LT and move McIntosh back to guard and the line is looking better already

According to ESPN

WE STILL HAVE THE #17TH PICK!

NFL net says we traded #1's
ESPN

this is the network that hired Keyshawn. Remember that. So The Lions have 17

I think we gave up too much for Albert. Three picks?

Stupid ESPN

got my hopes up

Now they just said we gained a #3
WHAT!?!?!?

It is just a minor thing, because I am loving the two picks we have made so far, but NFLN said we gave up a 3 AND a 5.

YUCK!

We should have only had to give up a 5, not a 3 + a 5.

That sucks.

Oh, NFLN just said that we got a 3rd back too.

So that makes it much better…

So, basically, we just moved back a little in the 3rd round and gave up a 5th, which is equal to 100 points.

So, fair deal..

we swapped 1s 3s and gave then a 5

3rd back

Ok. I feel a little better now.

Ok

Swapped 1st rounders and 3rd rounders and gave up a 5

Trade

IIRC, the Chiefs got the 15th pick. The Lions got the 17th pick, a 3rd rounder and a 5th. That’s too much.

not a bad trade at all

1srt, 3rd, and 5th, for a 1st and 3rd

I dont kow what you guys think

But I am impressed with Marshall Faulks intelligence and preparation

I am Herm's bitch now. I haven't been this happy in years!
I will still reserve the right to make fun of Hermisms
Faulk

makes Keyshawn look like the guy from Crank Yankers: “I got Mail! Yaaaay!”

So we still have 3 #3's?
We need Cason or Flowers in the 2nd
I am partial to Talib as a KU Jayahwk...

But I would be happy with any of the three…

I don't think Talib will be there. GB takes him.
Needs

So we have our line improved now. Can we please look at Brian Brohm now?

I'm up for that too. But, I would rather see

a trade up with a 3rd and another pick to grab Cason/Flowers and then use our true 2nd on Sam Baker

That would be awesome...

http://www.nfl.com/draft/tracker#tab:dt-by-team|team-kc

seems to stay pretty well updated as to what happens to our picks

I can't believe Mendenhall has lasted this long
Damn. That's a surprise.
Cherilus to the Lions, I mean.
400 comments and counting
Goodell

Couldn’t pronounce the name LOL

I have to say...

I’m extremely pleased with how this is turning out. I was praying over a glass of root beer that the Chiefs wouldn’t bone the Glenn Dorsey selection and now with Brandon Albert, we’ve got two players that Mike Mayock ranked in the top 10. Could this have gone much better for the Chiefs so far?

Damn, Flacco already. Here go the QBs
Who

Do we go for next?

A corner...

We either wait for one of Talib or Jenkins or Flowers at 35, or we try and trade up to the late 20s and pick whoever we like the most.

I think we blew a fuse at that last NFL.com link...lol
I just looked at the point chart for the third round

and we could trade our two later third round picks to Arizona or Philadelphia for their second round pick, maybe throw a seven in for cream on the top

Would give us #35 and #49 or 50

Agreed, Lanier, I think we trade up for a CB and take OT with our true 2nd
I think it goes the opposite way...

We take a CB at 35 and trade up for an OT.

I'm good with either
So am I...

Just looking at it value-wise, IMO, we could get one of the top-cluster corners at 35 (Flowers/Talib/Cason/Jenkings) and pick up a lesser OT later on, like Anthony Collins, for example.

Glenn "Freaking" Dorsey and Branden "Sit the F*ck Down" Albert, are you kidding me?

I should just turn off the TV right now. CHIEFS!

Here goes Brohm, just a guess.
A good one.

I was just gonna ask who Carolina is looking for, but that makes sense.

Either him or Otah…

that was a whiff
A whiff by me I meant.
I say

I was like WTF?

With our picks and what has been talked about here the last two months

I think one of us is actually Herm Edwards….Ok who is it?

That's what's great about AP, you never know. And that's OK.
"Well, you know, these things happen.

That’s what makes football great…”

But seriously, it isn’t me…

Would it take too much

To trade up to get another 1st rounder?

Not really...

We are at 35 right now, so to move up from there to a mid 20s would probably only cost a 3.

I would rather just sit at 35 unless we REALLY want someone, but it is certainly possible we move up.

Ok

Football isn’t my first sport (Baseball is), so I’m not really educated in this aspect

I Don't See...

anyone being too keen on trading out of the first round entirely.

If they had 2 1st rounders

An early and late pick they could trade their late pick shrug

2 of our 3rd's would do it.
I am seeing 600 or more points
I am hedging the old draft chart and the "supposed" new draft chart + time constraints.

And I am not a GM, so, my opinion means crap compared to what the Panthers just gave up.

I feel the way you do
We could do it with all 3 of our third rounders
Yea

but I doubt we’d want to give up all 3. Could we do it with 1 3rd?

Not without a player also IMO
Lookign at it

We may be able to with a 3rd this year and a 2nd next year if they REALLY want somebody

Wow, Carolina gave up a bunch for #19...

a 2, a 4 and next year’s 1…

They really

wanted Otah apparently

Wow, there goes my boy...

Aqib Talib.

Guess we won’t get him at 35…

With Talib Gone...

What do you believe the Chiefs target as the top corner?

Flowers, he is hardcore against the run.
That's what we need

After seeing how our secondary tackled last year

Gruden did that based on what Herm said to the media after the

free agent thing
