We've been looking at a number of 2012 NFL mock drafts over the past few weeks and it seems most people think the Kansas City Chiefs will go after the big uglies up front, offensive or defensive line.
SB Nation has consistently mocked an offensive tackle to the Chiefs while both Mel Kiper of ESPN and Don Banks of SI.com selected Penn State DT Devon Still. We've also seen some people send Alabama RB Trent Richardson to the Chiefs.
So now we look at another mock draft -- ESPN's Bill Williamson, who has the Chiefs selecting Stanford OT Jonathan Martin.
Two reactions...
First, I can't complain about the idea of adding offensive line help. GM Scott Pioli has said publicly that improving the offensive line is a priority. He says that stuff a lot about improving the depth and things like that but he specifically named the offensive line, which he doesn't often do. So no only do I think offensive tackle is the best move, I think it's a move the Chiefs might legitimately make. Does Martin play left tackle? Right tackle? However it works out, I'm fine with creating more options along the offensive line.
Second, we're weeks away from having a grip on who the No. 2 offensive tackle is -- Martin, Iowa's Riley Reiff or Ohio State's Mike Adams (or whoever else comes up in the mean time). The Chiefs have those guys ranked -- unfortunately they're not sharing their big board with me. So we don't know how they view these three guys and various mock drafts are pretty inconsistent when it comes to where these three go.
So, I like the idea of the selection, taking an offensive tackle. Time will tell if it's Martin, or someone else, at No. 11 or 12.

I'm fine with a 1st Rd OT
As long as he can open holes like a damn can opener for JC!
GaryfromIA - February 1, 2012
Joel, I can't believe those guys are being so greedy that they aren't sharing their Big Boards
some people, I yellya
I wouldn’t be TOO disappointed with Martin … I mean, I suppose if I had to I could maybe learn to live with it, if I had to … but if DeCastro was on the board I’d be very unhappy with us passing up the bet player on the board
upamtn - February 1, 2012
I'm good with the pick. Like DeCastro more, but I wouldn't kick Martin out of bed
mushin - February 1, 2012
agreed
stagdsp - February 1, 2012
I would kick Martin out of my bed.
nateforchiefs - February 1, 2012
He snores?
mushin - February 1, 2012
Hogs the blankets
Greedy bastard…
nateforchiefs - February 1, 2012
Blocks the TV too.
Tarkus - February 1, 2012
Richardson cant even block the TV
km230015 - February 1, 2012
True dat.
About all he can block is Jared Gaither, apparently.
Tarkus - February 1, 2012
So if Richardson can't block the TV I guess
blocking the “Ice Box” aka Shaun Smith would be out of the question.
G.L. - February 1, 2012
No...he just molests Offensive lineman
aPacificChief - February 1, 2012
Per our friends at Walter Football:
kc571 - February 1, 2012
I wouldn't be upset about
Richardson either..
GaryfromIA - February 1, 2012
especially if Chiefs don't land a QB in free agency or early in the draft
Chiefs_KC - February 1, 2012
Let me tell you an equally compelling story...
About two kids named Demario Williams and Reggie Bush.
juvatbull - February 1, 2012 via mobile
Touche
Tarkus - February 1, 2012
Mario Williams?
RamX21 - February 1, 2012
Thanks
I love typing on smartphones. The blessed port is the alto correcting. ;)
juvatbull - February 1, 2012 via mobile
I dunno.
Bush finally became the RB he was made to be and Mario is good but is always on IR
GaryfromIA - February 1, 2012
Bush took how long to become ... what?
upamtn - February 1, 2012
Certainly not a #2 draft pick.
Tarkus - February 1, 2012
Always on IR?
RamX21 - February 1, 2012
I agree partly. If Richardson's on the board I would have to think a team would be willing to trade up for him
Richardson still on the board to swing a deal to move down when Chiefs pick is best option other than landing Luck or RGIII
Chiefs_KC - February 1, 2012
+1
juvatbull - February 1, 2012 via mobile
+2 picks
Tarkus - February 1, 2012
We don't have a need at RB though, we have JC
I know he is coming off of a knee injury, but I think he will be just fine. Frank Gore tore up both of his knees and he still performs at a high level and Welker tore up his knee and he was good to go in 8 months
KingChief - February 1, 2012
true, but even before the knee injury, JC was getting banged up during games. 17-20 touches max for him
That still leaves 20-25 carries. Don’t want Cassel to have to throw more than 20 times a game
Chiefs_KC - February 1, 2012
exactly
We will someone else to share snaps with JC who can take a few good hits and still keep on truckin’
GaryfromIA - February 1, 2012
If we are drafting a complimentary RB
rather do it in the 4th or later. Recent history will tell you plenty of good Rb can be had late.
KingChief - February 1, 2012
Yep.
No need to draft a complimentary back at #11.
Tarkus - February 1, 2012
yes, we need a RB who say nice things
upamtn - February 1, 2012
Is Battle not cordial enough?
Tarkus - February 1, 2012
so it would seem
upamtn - February 1, 2012

SFLChief - February 1, 2012
wrecked!
ChiefWildcat - February 1, 2012
You know you opened up the flood gates for all the Cassel supporters now
KingChief - February 1, 2012
JC can't carry the load.
Jamaal Charles is a 195 pound running back coming off a major knee injury who has never carried in ball more than 230 times in a season as a pro. If Trent Richardson falls to them he would be the best player available. Thomas Jones is at the end of his career and Jamaal Charles is coming off a serious injury. Running backs slide in the draft, but Richardson is a special talent and too good for Kansas City to pass on. In 2011, Richardson had 24 total touchdowns (21 rushing, three receiving). He also ran for 1,679 yards, averaging 5.9 yards per carry. Richardson caught 29 passes for 338 yards and three touchdowns as well.
OJ In Nevada - February 1, 2012
Love how people try to say Richardson is such a special talent.. yet him ''falling'' mid to late first
BAMFSpecialOps - February 1, 2012
And for what its worth, since taking Brown over Peterson Arizona has gone to and almost won a Super Bowl while AP has wasted away in god awful Minnesota.
HIV 2 Elway - February 1, 2012
The Vikings were a game away from getting there
If Favre wouldn’t have thrown that int against the Saints
KingChief - February 1, 2012
That year had more to do with Favre, their receviers, and their defense though...
All Day has been great every other year and they haven’t done squat.
MNchiefsfan - February 1, 2012
What an odd summation to that game.
Favre’s int lost it? Wasn’t the 8 lost fumbles, the blatant roughing the passer calls not called, the rediculous pass interference in overtime….oh and how about the 12 men in the huddle that pushed them out of field goal range requiring #4 to actually throw the ball in that spot, rather then taking a knee and setting up the Field goal.
craig in calgary - February 1, 2012
I don't need all of your facts and evidence
KingChief - February 1, 2012
Chiefs need a RT, but if they grade out Martin, Adams, Glenn, RT ____ at about the same grade, trade down!
One of those guys should still be available 5-10 picks later.
Chiefs_KC - February 1, 2012
Yep.
Most of the Chiefs needs can be had later in the first round. The one exception is QB, and they have the opposite problem there.
Tarkus - February 1, 2012
Go further than that.
Even from the bottom of the first or top of the 2nd, they can get a massive RT upgrade to BRich.
TwelfthMan - February 1, 2012
I worry about either DeCastro or Martin from Stanford.
Did one of thise guys make the other look much better than he actually is? A la Sims and Julius Peppers?
nateforchiefs - February 1, 2012
Just have to make sure we get Peppers
and not Sims.
Tarkus - February 1, 2012
Cause one was LT one was RG?
BAMFSpecialOps - February 1, 2012
Isn't Decastro LG?
nateforchiefs - February 1, 2012
Nope
KSU-Chief - February 1, 2012
No, RG
BAMFSpecialOps - February 1, 2012
He's a RG?!?!!?
We want a RG to be 11th overall?
craig in calgary - February 1, 2012
No we want a RG at 11th overall to switch to LG
BAMFSpecialOps - February 1, 2012
Ahh
I still don’t want a guard that high, but especially RG.
craig in calgary - February 1, 2012
He would be LG, not moving Asamoah
Guard would help in the redzone and short yardage, I can see the reasoning behind it
BAMFSpecialOps - February 1, 2012
this^^^
great OLines help the QB and the RB … everywhere on the field
upamtn - February 1, 2012
he's an elite top-ten athlete who happens to play RG and is hands down the best Interior Lineman in the country
upamtn - February 1, 2012
well if you put it that way... :)
GaryfromIA - February 1, 2012
exactly
stagdsp - February 1, 2012
I think played RG but could easily play LG at NFL level
upamtn - February 1, 2012
You think?
You’re not even sure where your man crush played?
Tarkus - February 1, 2012
Oh. Maybe Im just imagining him as a LG because he would be replacing Lilja (most likely)
nateforchiefs - February 1, 2012
that's my hope
upamtn - February 1, 2012
I have a feeling if we are going OT
we will trade down and get one because we can get one of those guys in the back of the 1st round
KingChief - February 1, 2012
that's the spirit of Pioli
never accept the best thing that’s out there when you can trade back and get mediocrity instead ;-)
upamtn - February 1, 2012
Good thing we traded back instead of getting Berry
;)
BAMFSpecialOps - February 1, 2012
And Moeaki.
Tarkus - February 1, 2012
Same with TJax
RamX21 - February 1, 2012
That was a bit different.
Not justifying it but trading out of the 3rd pick with a lack of “I WANT THAT GUY” was pretty hard. Rock and a hard place there…
KSU-Chief - February 1, 2012
Not saying that as a knock on Pioli
RamX21 - February 1, 2012
I didnt take it that way...
Looking back at that draft was really tough to do anything but take a chance… Man what a crappy top 10 that year was!
KSU-Chief - February 1, 2012
but look at picks 10-35. there were talented players available for the astute GM
Chiefs_KC - February 1, 2012
It takes two to tango.
And I don’t think there was a lot of teams wanting to give up draft picks and a hell of a lot of money for a mediocre prospect.
Tarkus - February 1, 2012
Not only that.
Picks that high were really expensive then. I don’t think Pioli’s phone was ringing off the hook from potential suitors.
Tarkus - February 1, 2012
Agreed...
KSU-Chief - February 1, 2012
This.
I seem to remember them trying to trade down that year, and getting no takers.
TwelfthMan - February 1, 2012
I agree...
After the top 3 OT’s it is a pretty good drop off. Adams will go MUCH higher than his film says. He looks the part of a perfect OT in the NFL and teams will fall in love with him…
KSU-Chief - February 1, 2012
I've read that
Sanders is pretty good…if we address G in free agency, then we could get Sanders on the cheap and pick up an extra pick or two…
AnkenyChiefsFan - February 1, 2012
I heard that he played poorly in the senior bowl
of course I don’t know that for sure I don’t have NFL network
tomachop - February 1, 2012
Skinny looking OT, looks more like a TE
Scaaaaaaaaaary.
severn58 - February 1, 2012
he'd fit right in with the zone-blocking system and light weights on the line now that can't gain an inch to convert when needed
Chiefs_KC - February 1, 2012
I thought the same thing.
AhQueeNo - February 1, 2012
he looks more than 20 inches across at the belly. That is not skinny.
It might just be his small head.
Chiefs_swagger - February 1, 2012
Did he play RT or LT at Stanford?
And if he played LT then is he just a product benefiting of DeCastro being that good or even having Luck be his QB. Great QBs can make a poor offensive line look decent…
AhQueeNo - February 1, 2012
LT I think
Chiefs_KC - February 1, 2012
LT
How did he benefit from a RG?
BAMFSpecialOps - February 1, 2012
Kept his armpits dry?
Tarkus - February 1, 2012
OR having a great QB?
Did you stop reading?
AhQueeNo - February 1, 2012
Or ya know.. you used OR.. one or the other..
I chose one.. care to answer how he benefited from a RG yet?
BAMFSpecialOps - February 1, 2012
OR ever heard of something called a "team sport"?
They have to play as a cohesive unit. One could make an argument they all benefited from eachother.
AhQueeNo - February 1, 2012
good point, which is why we should want the best OLine we can get
especially the interior as a group … LG-C-RG … we have Hudson and Asamoah already, so now all we need is DeCastro
upamtn - February 1, 2012
great OLines help make great QB's
upamtn - February 1, 2012
Great running game can hide bad QBs
BAMFSpecialOps - February 1, 2012
Give me one example.
craig in calgary - February 1, 2012
Trent Green
Tarkus - February 1, 2012
What's easier
Plug in a journeyman and surround him with perhaps the greatest line of all time, or get a real QB?
I know “get a real QB” isn’t exactly easy either, but if should be your #1 job if you are creating a team. Plus I’d argue the game has changed, even from a decade ago.
craig in calgary - February 1, 2012
Until we can get the QB
Which no matter how bad some of us want to go get RGIII, might as well fix the Oline and help the running game and QB
BAMFSpecialOps - February 1, 2012
I know I know I know
I’m speaking in all hypotheticals, and I am all for improving the Oline, my point is that I feel you’ll never be a SB contender with a great Oline, great running game and a ho-hum QB.
craig in calgary - February 1, 2012
the Ravens would prove otherwise
upamtn - February 1, 2012
WITH a great defense it can be done
However a good QB changes everything
BAMFSpecialOps - February 1, 2012
Had the Chiefs been able to field something better than the 30th ranked defense any of those years
We would have been a SB contender with a great o-line, great running game, and a ho-hum QB…
PVChiefsfan - February 1, 2012
off topic
Why did my phone try to autocorrect ‘ho-hum’ to ‘up-hum’? How is that better? Is that even a phrase?
PVChiefsfan - February 1, 2012
hey at least it didnt try to autocorrect it to 'up-a-mtn'
stenerud's roost - February 1, 2012
why do we want "the easy way"
shouldn’t we want “the best way” instead?
upamtn - February 1, 2012
The best way is to get the franchise QB.
There is not a doubt in my mind
craig in calgary - February 1, 2012
if we were closer to being a complete team and didn't need to fill in holes ...
yeah, I might agree with that
upamtn - February 1, 2012
Craig
I agree, the best way to ensure continued playoff/Super Bowl contention for years is to land the franchise QB.
Unfortunately, the best way is also most difficult way, because there are like 4 or 5 such QB’s each decade or so.
PVChiefsfan - February 1, 2012
I'll take the franchise QB if available.
But if not, then I want to give my non-franchise QB all the help I can.
Tarkus - February 1, 2012
Trent Green
upamtn - February 1, 2012
Alex Smith this year and Matt Cassel in 2010 showed what a good Oline and running game can do
BAMFSpecialOps - February 1, 2012
even for a not very good QB
upamtn - February 1, 2012
Your boy MC on '10
RamX21 - February 1, 2012
I don't get it
The line was good in 2010, but shitty in 2011? It was esentially the same line.
craig in calgary - February 1, 2012
Lilja and Weigs were not the same players
Brich.. is well Brich
BAMFSpecialOps - February 1, 2012
Waters was gone, Wiegs was another year older, Asamoah first year starting, Lilja at different position
upamtn - February 1, 2012
Richardson another year shittier.
Tarkus - February 1, 2012
he said "different" not "the same only more so"
upamtn - February 1, 2012
Except he regressed.
He was serviceable in 2011. 2012? Not so much.
Tarkus - February 1, 2012
Better run game made Brich look better cause he didn't have to protect as often
BAMFSpecialOps - February 1, 2012
Probably.
Tarkus - February 1, 2012
JC made the line look much better than they were.
Or the slowness of the RB’s this year made them look worse. Either way the RB hid deficiencies.
RamX21 - February 1, 2012
Ding ding ding
Addressing the Oline with no QB is like putting $1000 tires on a piece of shit car.
craig in calgary - February 1, 2012
not addressing the Oline is like a shiny new car with no tires
upamtn - February 1, 2012
But what wonderful cinder blocks.
Tarkus - February 1, 2012
No need for tires, when you can have tracks
BAMFSpecialOps - February 1, 2012
Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers
Consistantly had below average lines. Rodgers was downright bad and Indi hasn’t had a good Olineman in Peytons time, other than the Joel Thorman lookalike.
craig in calgary - February 1, 2012
Kinda like this
KingChief - February 1, 2012
Just needs a little paint.
Tarkus - February 1, 2012
I’ve also heard some rumblings about Courtney Upshaw.
kc571 - February 1, 2012
Interesting... the guy's a beast, but with Hali and Hosuton at OLB, if the Chiefs feel he can be the guy at SILB
I think he played ILB at Alabama last year, and OLB this year if I’m remembering correctly
Chiefs_KC - February 1, 2012
Do you mean Hightower who played ILB?
AhQueeNo - February 1, 2012
I"ve heard some about Hightower too. Inside next to DJ.
kc571 - February 1, 2012
there ya go
we can lose games 3-0 and go 0-16 while having the best defense in the league
upamtn - February 1, 2012
We can win 2 a year
I mean we play the Raiders and with our secondary, surely we can get a few more pick-6s
BAMFSpecialOps - February 1, 2012
you win
upamtn - February 1, 2012
If Haley could win more than 2 games with 22 guys off the street.......
….. then RAC should also.
CatChief - February 1, 2012
No, I meant I thought Upshaw played some ILB a year or two ago, not to be confused with Hightower
Chiefs_KC - February 1, 2012
All of their LBs move around, but he is much more of a SOLB prospect than SILB
BAMFSpecialOps - February 1, 2012
Didn't Martin play LT and DeCastro play RG?
Chiefs_KC - February 1, 2012
Rather take a tackle than a guard.
craig in calgary - February 1, 2012
That high?
Yep.
Tarkus - February 1, 2012
DeCastro at 11
Glenn in the 2nd.
Albert/DeCastro/Hudson/Asamoah/Glenn
DizzyKC - February 1, 2012 via mobile
If we address G in free agency we will pick up a T in the first
vice versa. I can see Pioli trading back and taking Glenn and picking up another 2 or 3 after signing a T in free agency
RamX21 - February 1, 2012
FA OT is very thin...
KSU-Chief - February 1, 2012
agreed
stagdsp - February 1, 2012
So that means he can't sign someone?
Literally anyone would be an upgrade over Richardson
RamX21 - February 1, 2012
*THIS*
AhQueeNo - February 1, 2012
I hear LevI Jones should be available... he was a top 10 pick at OT a few years ago...
Chiefs_KC - February 1, 2012
Crap on crap
still gets you crap it is just shinny new crap…
That would be like replacing Cassel with Campbell…
KSU-Chief - February 1, 2012
This isn't Madden
You can’t have All-Pro players at every position. You can only upgrade the positions you have, and that kid from Buffalo would be a HUGE upgrade. Like I said, anyone would be an upgrade, BRich graded out as the worst lineman in the NFL
RamX21 - February 1, 2012
Bell?
The guy who is a good pass blocker but subpar run blocker?
BAMFSpecialOps - February 1, 2012
Not a subpar run blocker.
I’ve read he is a better run blocker than pass blocker
RamX21 - February 1, 2012
I've heard opposite
A finesse pass blocker, who is decent in space but is subpar at in line blocking and sealing the edge
BAMFSpecialOps - February 1, 2012
Fred Jackson seemed to
have a pretty good year until he got hurt. That seems to tell me that Bell can run block decent enough.
AhQueeNo - February 1, 2012
you're right ... you can't have every all pro out there
and your point? we know it’s not Madden … well, most of us know
upamtn - February 1, 2012
If you followed the previous comments you would see my point
RamX21 - February 1, 2012
You mean the guy who played in more than 8 games only once in 4 years?
Oh and he is a LT…
KSU-Chief - February 1, 2012
ok. you got it
RamX21 - February 1, 2012
Good to see you still dont...
KSU-Chief - February 1, 2012
Why
don’t they just move Dex to RT, slide BRich out to the slot? O line issue solved, and we have one monster slot reciever that can take a hit.
Zif - February 1, 2012
I think Gaither is a free agent.
Tarkus - February 1, 2012
Haley didn't think he was better than BRich though
KingChief - February 1, 2012
We can only guess if that is true or not
Gaither is a LT, it is possible he couldn’t switch to RT…
BAMFSpecialOps - February 1, 2012
Also possible Haley is stubborn to a fault.
Tarkus - February 1, 2012
It's more he didn't want to play RT
The Ravens flipped him to RT when they drafted Oher, but the 2 big money spots on the oline is C and LT and he knows he won’t get the same payday at RT as he will at LT
KingChief - February 1, 2012
Except when he signed
he said he didn’t care which position he played, in large part because Albert is one of his best friends. He was also the backup RT most of the year, so he was a Richardson injury away from playing RT anyway.
That’s not to say he wouldn’t prefer RT (every T would), but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t or couldn’t play RT.
Tarkus - February 1, 2012
They moved him back to LT because Oher is a subpar LT according to Raven fans
BAMFSpecialOps - February 1, 2012
How can Oher be subpar
when they made a movie about him being on the Blindside. Can’t call him Blindside and then make him play RT. I think I want my money back for that movie now
KingChief - February 1, 2012
They are going to draft a left handed QB?
BAMFSpecialOps - February 1, 2012
perhaps it is because Flacco can't see open recievers?
SFLChief - February 1, 2012
I thought it had more to do with McKinnie
Because McKinnie signed fairly late and was more comfortable on the left side, they slid Oher to the right side because they felt he was more versatile. Probably don’t do that if you think he’s a lockdown guy at LT, but I don’t think it’s necessarily an indication that they think he’s not any good.
/couldbewrongthough
u2nspenserfan - February 1, 2012
Even before Gaither was let go, fans wanted him moved back to LT and he was for a stint
Before not being resigned IIRC, fans did not like Oher at LT.. can’t say I saw a lot of it to really know if they were right or not haha
BAMFSpecialOps - February 1, 2012
Which is why the Steelers won't sign him.
Tarkus - February 1, 2012
I thought Muir made that call, he's the O-line coach
Chiefs_KC - February 1, 2012
He had input.
But Haley set the depth chart.
Tarkus - February 1, 2012
Your tackles are only as good as the Guards next to them
If we can pick up Nicks in FA, I say draft an OT.
If we can’t pick up Nicks in FA, I say draft DeCastro
Brad-KC - February 1, 2012
So Lilja must be pretty damn good.
Tarkus - February 1, 2012
Think how good Albert can be
with a Guards that doesn’t get pushed back every play.
Brad-KC - February 1, 2012
*Guard
Brad-KC - February 1, 2012
And Asomoah is terrible?
NJChieffan16 - February 1, 2012 via mobile
I'd like that get Nicks
and draft Decastro
kcchiefs2782 - February 1, 2012 via Android app
For what reason?
If you get Nicks in FA, no way do you need another first round guard when we already have Asamoah, and Hudson at C waiting.
BAMFSpecialOps - February 1, 2012
agreed, that's overkill
stagdsp - February 1, 2012
I think you can say that for the whole o-line...
1 weak link anywhere on it you can generally scheme to overcome. 2 or more is generally a disaster.
u2nspenserfan - February 1, 2012
Anyone know
how Asamoah is developing?
Brad-KC - February 1, 2012
Watching the games I think he did pretty good
so I would say he is developing just fine.
KingChief - February 1, 2012
My problem with Martin
I see him as a natural LT and not a good fit at RT. I know we like undersized linemen, but Martin struggles with the same things Richardson struggles with at RT.
If we did go Martin, I would rather plug him in at LT and move Albert inside to LG, but why fix what ain’t broke in Albert?
Our options are to go LG at our first pick and take the “sure thing” in DeCastro and then try to go RT later (I like a few of the 2nd-3rd round prospects) or try to sign a LG in FA (everyone wants Carl Nicks, but he is going to be too expensive) and draft a RT at #11/12 or trade down.
If Nicks can be had for the right price (which is about 20-25% less of Evans’ contract), pull the trigger. There are teams that are likely willing to pay him, notably the Cowboys (report came out last week that they want him). I don’t see us winning a bidding war with the Cowboys.

DeCastro at LG!

Honest question
I’m fairly confident Pioli will address the RT position either in FA or draft. My question is: Do you think Mims has a chance to push BRich completely off the roster?
ChiefWildcat - February 1, 2012
No
Brich can stay as a swing tackle as he has experience, Mims can go back on the PS or be let go all together
BAMFSpecialOps - February 1, 2012
we'll see
maybe, just maybe, they like Mims enough to let BRich walk, and go with the young guys
stagdsp - February 1, 2012
I hope he addresses the OL in FA
I’d like the pick but would really like a more impact player with our 1st rounder if not a QB then NT/ILB but also wouldn’t be mad to see Trent slip right into our hands but I don’t see him falling out of the top 10

Some mocks
have Trent slipping all the way to 17 or 18…RB’s in the draft rarely go first round…has to be a pretty special back…
AnkenyChiefsFan - February 1, 2012
No NT worth a first for our scheme, nor is SILB that big of a hole
We can use an upgrade yes, but that pick can go other directions first.
BAMFSpecialOps - February 1, 2012
again, I agree with you
I don’t see a NT or SILB in the first 3 rounds that would over-ride my thought of loading up on OL and TE/RB
stagdsp - February 1, 2012
I like Hightower, and think he would be a great pick up in the second
I just think there should be better options Oline/TE/RB/DB even
BAMFSpecialOps - February 1, 2012
agreed
stagdsp - February 1, 2012
so we should stack up on OL?
I do like that but idk only if they go Decastro in the 1st and idk who is going to drop in to the 2nd for OT Adams? idk but I do like a chance at an explosive player in the 1st
kcchiefs2782 - February 1, 2012 via Android app
What about that kid Ronz?
C/G ssame size and stats as DeCastro. You cover 2 positions in one pick. Any word on how Mims is developing??
Pacific Chief - February 1, 2012
Ronz?
BAMFSpecialOps - February 1, 2012
Konz?
he’s good… #1 C, #3 G in the draft
stagdsp - February 1, 2012
Will be gone by our second pick, not worth our first..
BAMFSpecialOps - February 1, 2012
does anyone realize that Albert was a RT in college? let him go to his normal position and get a quality LT. Albert has done a good job, but we can do better
chiefs believer - February 1, 2012
Actually he played LG
Have fun with your ‘normal’ position crap. Martin/Reiff/Adams would out play Albert at LT for us this year, we would just weaken the line
BAMFSpecialOps - February 1, 2012
finally
some people may be wising up.
be cee - February 1, 2012
How is that?
Passed 999999999 years ’’experts’’ have mocked an OT to us haha
BAMFSpecialOps - February 1, 2012

be cee - February 11, 2012
