The Long, Slow, Arduous Bataan Death March To Drafting OL On May 8th - Page 6

Direckshun · 01:07 PM

I keep looking at the talent right now, have been for about three months.

And I honestly think the talent is at its best at OL towards the end of the 1st round.

Andy Reid needs to replace Albert, and there's no guarantee he has faith in Fisher. And Asamoah has almost certainly left, so we'll be in the hunt for a guard as well.

This is a team looking to get away from Pioli's smaller, nimble OL, and towards Reid's larger, more powerful OL.

Maybe we bring back Schwartz at guard. Maybe not.

God. This franchise has conditioned me to prepare for the worst.

***UPDATE***

OL the Chiefs could potentially, inevitably draft at 23, depending on where things are in 5 months:

OT Greg Robinson, Auburn
OT Taylor Lewan, Michigan
OT Cameron Erving, Florida State
OT Antonio Richardson, Tennessee
OT/G La'el Collins, LSU [not coming out this year]
OT/G Zack Martin, Notre Dame
OT Cyrus Kouandjio, Alabama
OG Gabe Jackson, Mississippi State
OG Cyril Richardson, Baylor
OG David Yankey, Stanford
OG Xavier Su'a-Filo, UCLA

I will run mini-scouting reports on these guys over the next five months in this sad, miserable thread, plus any guys who also drift onto the radar.

If there are any others you'd add, feel free to.

That's a fascinating rumor. Hmm.

Where'd you see it?

I actually don't remember right now. Hopefully it was some BS rumor someone made up. I hate using 1st round moves to make lateral moves.

I dont think that was a real rumour.

Comment From Ed
Which tradeable player on the Chiefs would be most interesting to another team?

Terez A. Paylor: Hmm...maybe Eric Berry? A good player who doesn't quite fit what the Chiefs need in their highest-paid safety. Plus he makes a ton of money. Chiefs could easily get a second for him, I'd think, PLUS they could save about $5.8 by dealing him...Fans would go nuts, but they would have to ask themselves; would they rather have a safety who plays in the box or a safety go plays centerfield? In other words, would you rather have Eric Berry or Jairus Byrd in this scheme? hat said, I've been told the Chiefs still believe Berry can be whatever he wants to be. If they can find a linebacker than can cover tight ends, maybe they move him back to free safety and let him sink or swim. There's optimism he'll be even better this year after a year in Sutton's scheme.

Direckshun · 02-27-2014, 02:37 PM

Still a pretty interesting idea.

Good, it was just speculation from Paylor.

If Berry is traded.....I'm not longer buying ****ing jerseys of current players.

Direckshun · 02-27-2014, 04:39 PM

What would you guys say to that?

Cut Berry, and make a huge invesent at FS eith Byrd?

Direckshun · 02-27-2014, 04:39 PM

Sorry, trade Berry. For a 2nd, we'll say.

**The Franchise** · 02-27-2014, 04:44 PM

Or just ****ing move Berry to FS.

How about we get a better DC? Imagine what Rob Ryan could do with this bunch . . .

TambaBerry · 02-27-2014, 05:54 PM

Ya wtf if they trade an All pro safety for a second round pick im done being a fan. That entire idea is idiotic and whoever came up with it should be shot.

Rumors? or people throwing in their $0.02?

Big difference...

Where did you hear that info from? Not being a dick, just curious.

EDIT - read the rest and caught up.
