2. Quarterback: This need obviously won't be addressed anytime soon because Matt Cassel is somehow the third-highest paid quarterback in the NFL. Think about that one for a second.
you know the answer here
3. Nose Tackle: Ron Edwards is not a starting-caliber nose tackle. Terrence Cody and Cam Thomas will be considered atop Round 2 of the 2010 NFL Draft. Signed Shaun Smith
all the good ones got overdrafted, the remaining ones we obviously didnt like enough to touch, I trust Romeos evaluation of them. Im sure if Troup was there at 2b or 3, we would have pulled the trigger, he loved him after shrine practices
4. Rush Linebacker: The Chiefs had just 22 sacks in 2009, and 8.5 of them came from Tamba Hali. A pass-rusher might be added in the early rounds this April.
Sheffield was drafted in the fifth, the position wasnt "ignored" Im sorry, but I didnt really want Kindle anyway because of how weak he is against the run, when news came out that he needs microfracture surgery and likely played with the injury (which makes it worse and increases the probability of it becoming a long term problem) it made him untouchable that high for a team like us that cant afford to have a high pick on the pup to start his KC career
5. Inside Linebacker: Position No. 439,129,695,238 that needs to be upgraded. Demorrio Williams and Corey Mays starting over Derrick Johnson? Seriously?
I got nothing, I did notice that Pittsburgh drafted 3 of them and I wonder if they cut Farrior loose or if they are offering him for trade comp? Id trade them Waters in a heartbeat...2 problems solved BOOM get Pioli on the line!!!
6. Center: Even when Kansas City's offensive line improved toward the end of the 2009 season, the center position was still a glaring weakness. An early pick will be used to upgrade Rudy Niswanger. Also, the addition of Russell Okung would push Brian Waters from guard to center. Make that three upgrades for the price of one. The No. 5 overall selection must be Okung. Signed Casey Wiegmann, I would have liked to have drafted Matt Tennant over that safety we drafted in the fifth, but I dont know the whole story on either.
7. No. 2 Wide Receiver: Chris Chambers was impressive last year since joining the Chiefs, but was likely just playing for a contract. I would not feel comfortable with Chambers as my No. 2 wideout. A receiver could be drafted in Rounds 3-4 this April. Re-signed Chris Chambers Im glad they left a long term starters spot open, next year will be a better year to fill this gap.
8. Strong Safety: It was imperative that the Chiefs cut Bernard Pollard; he was too talented for their defense and room had to be made for veteran Mike Brown.
I was one of the few that was full blown against this move BEFORE it was made, our run defense missed his presence and he would have paired VERY nicely with Berry IMHO, but if he wasnt gonna get with the program...**** em!
9. Free Safety: Can the Chiefs really go with the tandem of Jon McGraw, Jarrad Page and DaJuan Morgan at free safety again in 2010?
done
10. Defensive End: Despite all of the resources the Chiefs have used to upgrade their defensive line, they are still really hurting up front. Glenn Dorsey is a poor fit for the 3-4; Tyson Jackson had a horrible rookie campaign; and Alex Magee barely played. Kansas City will likely allow Dorsey, Jackson and Magee to grow together for another year, but it's not looking good at the moment.
We have absolutely NO need for DEs on this team. NONE. Even if we move Dorsey to the nose, we still have good depth at end.
The way we passed on nose guards in the draft, makes me wonder if there is more to the Dorsey to NT "rumors" than meets the eye.
11. Right Guard: If the Chiefs take Russell Okung, they can move Branden Albert into this position (though he'll probably go to left guard, and Brian Waters would move to center). Signed Ryan Lilja
We drafted one of the best RG prospects in the draft, if not the best.
12. Slot Receiver: Lance Long and Bobby Wade aren't the answer in the slot. Signed Jerheme Urban
We got a PLAYA!!
13. Return Specialist: Jamaal Charles won't be returning kicks anymore. Bobby Wade also needs to be upgraded as the punt-returner.
We got a PLAYA!!
14. Cornerback Depth: Yep, this is needed too.
We got a PLAYA!! (albeit a nickle one)
