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 |

People keep talking pass rushers (OLB) but we are not going to take one with Hali and Houston here. If Dorsey walks, we will need a DE like it or not. Star is a better pass rusher than either Dorsey or T-Jax anyways but that isn't the main job of a 3-4 DE. Sure it would improve with a 1-Gap system.
I know it blows ones mind thinking LT or DT but what else is at the top of the draft are we going to see outside of OLB's? Possibly a CB like Milliner? Just better pray it is QB indeed at #1! |

you showed up to shit all over the Smith thread with nonsense about Glennon, and without having a ****ing clue about Smith...and your 'source' then turned out to believe that Smith is actually the best QB which makes that steaming load you dropped on our thread extra-double pointless, and rendering every 'argument' you made in the thread worthless you really have a problem with the truth

Do people think that 34 DE's in a 2 gap system are supposed to hold their gap on a pass play? Granted, they have to read and react whereas in a 1 gap system they're penetrating immediately... but when they read pass their ONLY JOB is go get after the QB in any system. |

The primary flaw with the 2-gap for how the game is played now, is that it is simply too slow. For example, a team comes out in base 22 personnel. They run a PA pass. A 2-gap team probably has no chance of really getting presssure if the other team has adequate line play simply due to the time it takes for them to diagnose the play and then adequately react. In a 1-gap in base fronts, the DL is already moving upfield and has a much higher chance of getting penetration on PA and regular passes against base personnel from the offense. JMHO.

I don't want Alex Smith on this team. He would dumb it up for a QBotf we take from the draft with his Cassel esq play. lololololol Alex Smith is the complete opposite of what Andy Reid looks for in QB I am sure of that. |

The idea that we would, in any round, at all, bother to take an OLB is ****ing reeruned and shows you have no ****ing clue what the **** you're talking about. OLB is the strongest aspect of our defense now and the ONLY position I'd say we should not waste a pick on...
