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 |

I want a QB in the worst way but I'm not against Star Lotulelei at #1 if our brass somehow deem a QB not worthy at #1.
I know a combo of Star and Poe would be devastating up front. With their size, speed and strength.... there are only so many guys you can double team. They both would be great in a 1-Gap system. Just figure which one fits better at DE and the other at NT. Again not advocating taking a position not a QB at #1 but myself personally wouldn't be against Star. http://draftbreakdown.com/players/star-lotulelei |

This team does need additional pass rushers, but that's not a pressing need.
Hopefully they can add some help at OLB in Free Agency.

I really don't think he meant this as a "mock draft" but more like the top 10 players to keep an eye on because they Chiefs just might pick one of them with their #1 pick.
Don't think it was meant for the diehard draftnick who "KNOWS" that Geno is the obvious and only player in the draft worth having on an NFL team.

I will say, if we had the QB position handled, I would LOVE to see Jarvis Jones on this team.

Total waste of the top pick as we can get 90% of what he brings by re-signing Dorsey and putting him at the 1 gap nose. |

The inconsistency is BUCKY BROOKS. You quoted him over and over and over because he said Geno wasn't worth the #1 pick. And then he mocks Geno to the Chiefs #1 overall. THAT is why the "mobster" crowd was quoting him - because he CAN'T KEEP HIS OWN OPINIONS STRAIGHT. Once again, you're wrong. |

Forgot all about that. I think its just a "I miss DT" kinda pick cause he appears to have the same type of skill set.

just my opinion, but the only positions that a team should select top 10 are:
QB Pass Rusher LT Freak WRs CB Possibly a freak RB like AD, but even thats highly questionable in todays game...

Shotgun/spread is marginalizing that position big-time. |

QB Pass-rusher (DE/OLB/DT) CB/Safety WR and then LT I firmly believe that you have to protect your QB but also think that top tier QBs make their OL look a lot better than they really are.
