So this year's Jonathan Bullard...

He looks a little Grady Jarret ish to me. Which is nice

I liked Bullard a little more, but I can dig that comparison! I'd say somewhere in between Bullard and Day.

Added:

4. Shalom Luani, S, Washington St.- this guys has great range, good ball skills, and brings the wood. Really liked him after watching just one game. Enough to put him at #4 for now.

Man, this might be the best rb class in a while. So much talent therr.

Pass rushers look pretty deep as of right now as well.

Definitely the strength of this class. I'm hoping we use a day 1/2 pick on both positions.

I'm hoping ware and west continue to grow and the rb spot is locked foe a while.

I'm interested in the olb here in this draft and the wr.

But I'm sure we will have some big hole shape up during the year

What a garbage QB class.

On the other hand, the Chiefs should seriously think about taking Charles replacement. That is a DEEP RB class.

[staylor26]

Added:

Tanner Valejo, LB, Boise State- another WILB type with very good speed and ability to drop back into coverage. Very quickly gets depth when dropping back. Solid run defender also.

A lot of talk about how good this RB and EDGE class is going to be, but I don't think the LB class is too far behind. I have no doubt we'll be drafting DJ's future replacement with one of our many picks.

I could see the offensive styles of the league start to change the next few years due to this influx of RB talent. It's been majority passing these few years and honestly I think it has more to do with a vast difference in talent in the QB position compared to the RB position.

Now that the Brady's, Mannings, Big Bens, and Rivers of the world are getting older and leaving while we have these massive talents coming through at the RB position, I could see teams going back to the running based offenses because thats where the talent is shifting toward.

I mean think about it, how many true first round talents have come through at the RB position this past decade? We may have 4 RBs truely worth a 1st round pick in this draft alone.

Would it really be surprising to see Ware emerge as a legitimate Charles replacement?

His agility floored me last year. Some of the jump cuts he made seemed straight out of a video game. He showed very solid long speed and plus power.

He looked a lot like Lamar Miller to me. I'd really like to see him get in the 150 touch range but I don't see a way to make that happen with a healthy Charles (which brings me back to my "Jamaal Charles as the X receiver campaign....")

With the depth at the position, maybe there's a cheaper option that will be there in the 3rd that can do the job, but RBs are actually becoming pretty cheap in the open market. If I can get a replacement for Fulton or a replacement for Charles, I'll take the replacement for Fulton and take my chances on re-signing Ware.

Didn't we already resign ware?

I hadn't thought of Charles at the x, but I think it would be a pretty awesome situation to have him play DAT role some. Those jet sweeps and jet motion becomes even more dangerous with charles running it, with ware behind smith.
