With The 23rd Selection In The 2014 Draft The Chiefs Select...
Odell Beckham Jr.
GREAT hands, route running, speed, athleticism...the total package. Percy Harvin 2.0 without the concussion issues. If he is left at pick #23 this guy would add tremendously to our offense. Prototypical Andy Reid WR. 6'0" 200 lbs 4.4 speed. Playmaker and difference maker. I could live with Watkins, Evans, Lee or Beckham....Beckham most likely to still be on board and might be the best fit anyway. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jZbGUMevcI |
I like it. I said it before he's the next Randall Cobb.
|
I like the kid, but there are gonna be superior guys available when we pick and this receiver class is ridiculously deep.
We can get a guy that can have Beckams impact in the third round IMO. 23 receivers with a third round grade or higher. 5-10 of them will still be on the board when we pick in the third. |
Beckham had over 2200 all purpose yards in 2013...broke all time LSU single season record. Incredible athlete with great hands. Any of the top WRS i like....not Benjamin though....he is good but not the same athlete of the top 4 WRs. All 4 of the top WRs in this year's draft are amazing. Perfect for Chief's current needs.

not having a 2nd round pick really hurts What do the Chiefs do if Sammy Watkins is the only WR drafted when they pick at 23? |
Crap shoot indeed.
|
Beckham is is a stud and although LSU never fully utilized his skills, Percy Harvin he is not. He's probably a more gifted WR than Percy but not as good of a RAC/return guy.
|
I just don't see a lot of difference between a guy like Beckham and addebredis (besides that deep speed) and there's a great chance he's there in the third.
I was a huge supporter of Kelce after seeing his talent level with my own eyes at camp, but micro fracture injuries are almost always problematic long term. They can't count on him to play a major role going forward. |

Avery has great deep speed, so it's not as if we need a guy who's just fast.
Beckham could very well end up being a legit #1 type guy. That's why I'd take him. |
If we can come out of the first with a stud tight end and draft the best receiver on the board in the third, we are gonna have an offense that is gonna be top 7 in scoring and yardage.
It all depends on how the draft plays out, too. There is so much talent in this class I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see us get a guy that nobody expects to fall just because of the depth of the position groups. Almost 200 players in this class with a third round grade or better. That's basically DOUBLE the average number. |

If we can get a FS in FA it would free us up to be more aggressive about getting the best combo of TE/WR possible in the draft. |
The best is if we can trade down and add another second or third.
That's like getting another first in this class. |
Quote:
An outstanding TE would greatly impact this offense quickly. IMO, more than another good WR would. I'd still like to add both now. |
Even if Kelce ends up being a beast, having two stud TE's would be great so I'd be ok with that.
Trading down to pick up a 2nd would be optimal because of the depth of this draft class. Finding a team willing to forsake their 2nd would be difficult because of the depth of this draft class. But who knows, someone falls a bit, a team falls in love with a player, especially if they're already championship-caliber. If we stay put at #23, while I'd be fine with a beast TE or Beckham/Lee, I actually see more value investing a first rounder in a pass rusher (like Dee Ford), an elite safety (Pryor/Clinton-Dix), or someone on the line who can be disruptive (Hageman, Tuitt, Jernigan). |
We're probably not going to trade down. It's a deep draft, which lessons the impetus for teams to trade up.
That said, Beckham's a homerun if we land him. I'm fearing he's going to be gone by the time we're up. Jace Amaro and Brandin Cooks will almost certainly be on the board. Either one of them are also home runs. |
Eddie Kennison, Carlos Carson, Dwayne Bowe..... I hope this Next LSU guy does well. :hmmm:

This place is going to be pissed as usual if we draft DL or OL like I am afraid Dorsey will.

the green bay packers have drafted Oline in the 1st round twice in the last decade just get over it |
It's entirely possible Dorsey goes with an elite talent at DE, like Hageman or Tuitt.
It's also worth nothing that he used his 1st rounder last year to draft an heir to a likely-departing veteran. He could very well draft CB or OLB if the value's there to eventually replace either (or both) of our starting CBs or Hali. |
(a.) Assuming the following players are off the board:
QB Teddy Bridgewater, Louisville QB Blake Bortles, UCF QB Johnny Manziel. Texas A&M QB Derek Carr, Fresno State WR Sammy Watkins, Clemson WR Mike Evans, Texas A&M WR Odell Beckham, Jr., LSU TE Eric Ebron, North Carolina OT Jake Matthews, Texas A&M OT Greg Robinson, Auburn OT Taylor Lewan, Michigan DT/DE Ra'Shede Hageman, Minnesota DE Jadeveon Clowney, South Carolina DE Kony Ealy, Missouri OLB Khalil Mack,Buffalo OLB Anthony Barr,UCLA CB Justin Gilbert, Oklahoma State S HaHa Clinton-Dix, Alabama (b.) And assuming no game-changing FAs are added, and of the departing FAs, we only retain Schwartz. Here's a comprehensive list right now of who I'd take at 23, in order, as of now: 1. WR Brandin Cooks, Oregon State -- elite speed and great route-runner; true deep threat on the outside. 2. TE Jace Amaro, Texas Tech -- peerless route-runner at the TE position 3. CB Darqueze Dennard, Michigan State -- great in man coverage, would take over as starter in 2015 4. OLB Dee Ford, Auburn -- undersized, but with elite passrushing potential 5. DE Stephon Tuitt, Notre Dame -- project with elite athleticism at 3-4 DE position 6. NT Louis Nix, Notre Dame -- if Poe to DE is a serious option, and Nix lasts, this is worth considering 7. TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Washington -- project w/ huge size to be elite in future seasons 8. S Calvin Pryor, Louisville -- will need work in coverage, but great at eating up space I bolded the players I'd heavily consider taking over everybody on this list, who have a remote chance to last. |
I like him there if Ebron is not available

He's the perfect Dorsey selection, but he's probably gone in the Top 15. |

Yeah that is right only twice, but they were in back to back years. Even though they had Chad Clifton and Bryan Bulaga, the previous years 1st rd draft pick, starting at the OT spots he drafted Derrok Sherrod OT. When Albert leaves our OT is Fisher and Stephenson and then no one. I would not be surprised if Dorsey did not want to trust Alex Smiths blind side to Stephonson or Fisher especially without a quality backup. |

not only does Fisher look to be a fine OT, but so does Stephenson |

My concern with Beckham is all of the talk that he's better after the catch. I'd really like a wide receiver who is good BEFORE the catch. However, last year our offense was dominated by WR crossing patters that were designed to get guys the ball as soon as possible and let them build up YAC.
So, maybe Beckham is the right choice. Call it an idiosyncrasy on my part. |
I want Dennard.

If we dont get a WR with round 1 pick it better be because Clinton Dix falls to #23....otherwise its a tough sell to me. (I get the Ebron interest if he falls to #23 but would still prefer a top flight talent at WR there)
|
Darqueze Dennard.

I want Dennard, Verret(spelling), or Gilbert in the first. This will allow us to cut Flowers in 2015 unless he takes a pay cut. This is assuming both the safeties are gone.

He's towards the top, but I doubt he's there at 23. Beckham is who I want most I think. |

This draft is just so deep that you should be able to find starters, as rookies, in rounds 4 and 5.
We probably won't but it's possible |

I don't know if im nuts but I don't like Evans at all.
I would rather have OD. |

Last year's draft was deep with offensive lineman and this years draft is deep with WR. KC will definitely cash in.
|
I had never really watched the combine before but I watched some Saturday when the WRs were on.
Hard to tell the difference between most of them except for Evans. The dude is a monster. It was funny to see how many of these guys simply can't catch very well. Odell Beckham did stand out a bit because it looks like he's got great hands. I'd be happy with that pick |
Quote:
I thought he was lazy and ran it at half speed. |
Quote:
I mean, sure tell me about Demaryius Thomas, hes great, but, in that same draft you took Tim Tebow. And, sure tell me about Von Miller, and ill tell you about how he is a druggy loser, who then tore his Acl. So, lets be honest. The Chiefs and Broncos, probably shouldn't be bragging about their drafting skills. |
Quote:
I wanted to see how he ran. And, I wanted to see how he attacked the ball. Hes a pure hands catcher, and on top of that, his hands are ENORMOUS. The other stuff. Meh. |

I still prefer TE over WR but if we're going WR, I want Evans. |
Quote:
|
Sometimes I feel that Evans is an updated version of Bowe .... Don't know if that's good or not.
|
I go Lee or Clinton - Dix. But yes if we could get a FS and a CB it would free us up to do so much more.
|
Quote:
Looking at some of his plays, he seemed to have a knack for getting separation, and a better knack for providing himself as a target when protection broke down, and seems to have good hands. But I did think he was lazy in the gauntlet, yet no one else even commented on that. |
Quote:
|
I wouldn't be upset if we got Ebron...then we would have 2 potentially GREAT TEs...I know he needs to prove himself but I really think Kelce could be elite. Still would rather see a really skilled WR at #23. But if Ebron is still there and the Jets didn't scoop him up he is def an option to look at.
|
Looking at these receivers I can't help but think about Scott Pioli drafting Devon ****ing Wylie. Or as Pioli likes to think of him, "the Wes Welker of four different teams' practice squad in a single year."
