We don't run a Dallas or Pitt type of 3-4 look at the guys NE had, Ayers is kind of similar to Willie McGinest actually...and he's a team captain, I'd say he's a highly likely candidate for this teams first pick.

True.

The offense definately does not compliment the defense. But not to say the defense has been stellar either they have thrown up some stinkers as you and the rest of us know.

I say the culture on the defense needs a bit of a boost. The talent is somewhat there, but it's clear they lack leadership and the Chiefs are also missing players that lack killer instinct and competitve edge. To sum this up in one word, the Chiefs lack a "catalyst" on defense. They're missing that one guy that increase the tempo of play week to week and elevate the play of players around him. I think that's what seperates them from being an average defense to a good defense.

I still think these guys are gonna keep Cassel and try to give him a premier weapon with that first rounder.

Draft a third halfback that doubles as a slot gimmick receiver and a nickel cornerback.

And make sure to draft another tight end and guard.

The only way this team is getting a premier weapon for Cassel is if they tank hard and pick 15 or better.

They just need to draft well, period. and the rest will be taken care of.

McGinest is bigger and played DE.

Ayers is more like a bigger Derrick Johnson.

You know it's rare for a 4-3 OLB to make the transition to 3-4 OLB.

dont be so sure.

This years draft should feature at least 4 first round talents at WR and WRs tend to drop a bit more than other positions.

I could see Baldwin dropping to where we pick and at this point, I think he has a really good chance at being our top pick

They're about to enter the scenario several of us discussed when they were using top 5 picks and not taking a QB..now the team has enough talent to compete and win a number of games. This makes us to good to pick high for elite QB prospects yet not good enough to win anything...the position of limbo.

If he's a 4.4 40 guy he's going before 15, and he claims he's a 4.3 guy and if he's that he has a chance to be a top 8 guy.

Meh, nonsense. They were never going to be bad enough to pick Bradford or Stafford. You could reach and take Sanchez, or you could wait and pick a Freeman or a Flacco. There are QBs there. But again, this team isn't going to give up on Cassel, so it's moot.

It would have made more sense to reach for Sanchez than reach for Tyson Jackson.

They're not, and for 2 years they've done things to pad his stats so it's blatantly obvious he's coming back.

Even if there was a premier qb on the board, I dont see them taking him if there was a premier weapon there.

16 TD 4 INT

to the flotation device with a bad motor

Maybe they'll pad his stats enough to where a team would rather develop Cassel than use their #1 and we could trade him to move up in the draft.
