The Star's top 10: The best player in draft for Chiefs needs
The Star’s Top 10: The best players in draft for Chiefs’ needs Order Reprints January 23 As the Chiefs prepare to make the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft for the first time in franchise history, we’ve made our own draft board. Adam Teicher, The Star’s Chiefs reporter, has ranked the top 10 available players who fit the Chiefs’ most pressing needs. Not all are worthy of the No. 1 pick — the Chiefs may decide to trade down — but all are worth keeping an eye on before the draft starts April 25. • 1. Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia: Chiefs have two Pro Bowlers at this position, so technically outside linebacker is not a need. But Tamba Hali will be 30 next season and it’s difficult to turn down a pass rusher. • 2. Damontre Moore, OLB, Texas A&M: The same holds for Moore. • 3. Luke Joeckel, T, Texas A&M: The Chiefs will need a left tackle if Branden Albert becomes a free agent. • 4. Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia: Smith probably isn’t worthy of being the top pick, but the Chiefs have to solve their QB dilemma somehow. • 5. Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama: After the fiasco with Stanford Routt, the Chiefs need a corner and Milliner is the best available. • 6. Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee: Again, not worth the top pick. But a fast, 6-3 receiver will be difficult for the Chiefs to pass up. • 7. Chance Warmack, G, Alabama: Guards aren’t valuable enough to pick with the top overall choice. But Warmack has a chance to be great. • 8. Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah: The Chiefs will need a lineman if they lose Glenn Dorsey to free agency. • 9. Mike Glennon, QB, North Carolina State: He makes sense for the Chiefs if they believe he can eventually become a franchise quarterback. • 10. Alec Ogletree, ILB, Georgia: Inside linebackers aren’t that valuable, but the Chiefs need one to go along with Derrick Johnson. Read more here: http://www.kansascity.com/2013/01/23...#storylink=cpy |

Not bad but, Glennon and Ogletree shouldn't be on the list. Glennon is awful and Ogletree is better suited for a 4-3 even though he played in the 3-4 at UGA. Most of it is realistic. Everyone is desperate for a QB but the reality is that we probably will not take one #1 overall.

At least "most" decent analysts can agree that Geno is the best QB prospect this year. Step 1. Question is would being drafted #1 boost his confidence or put that 500lb gorilla on his back?

I think it would put the gorilla on his back. If we take a QB #1, I believe we need to go hard after Alex Smith. Before people kill me for saying that, I don't think Alex is the answer at QB. I do think he would be an excellent mentor for someone like Geno because he did go #1 and he had a very hard road during his first few years in the league. He obviously did a good job mentoring Kapernick and I think he would do a good job helping Geno come along.

A non pass rushing DT at 1 overall? Have we learned nothing?
And I'm not trading for Alex Smith. Need the picks. |
