The Pats traded a 2nd round pick for Cory Dillon several years ago when he was considered an overworked, aging RB with an attitude problem in Cincy. arrowhead78-

Dorsey is not a 3-4 noseguard, although he might be a great 3-tech DT. May need to trade him. We need a massive NG, and we need a bunch of LBs. We can't overpay for him, but Cassel would be great in a KC uni. But will Brady be ready in 2009? That will affect whether Pats put franchise tag on Cassel. One of the KC writers said earlier the Chiefs job was the best one out there, with patient ownership, a great fanbase, and plenty of cap space. Pioli was smart enough to figure that out.

I think that the pats drafts of the last 3 years aren't as good as the chiefs have did in the past three years. I could be wrong but the chiefs have actually had decent picks since Herm got here, way better then Vermiels picks... Did you read the article by the way? Belichick had the final say in who got drafted and who didn't, I think that it's good that the chiefs finally got a GM, hope they didn't pay to much for someone who was hanging on to someone's coat tail... The chiefs can win without LJ, they can't win without Gonzo, I shouldn't say can't, but it will make it alot harder... Also, I really hope they dont switch the D to a 3-4. They need to draft a DE in the first round, or trade down and get another o-lineman that can play C or RT... Then grab a LB in the second round with the extra picks they get from trading there first rounder away...

I wonder if Mr. Pioli will follow the same protocol with the Chiefs and not gamble on a QB early, but take one later in the draft? Maybe he'll look to trade Larry Johnson for Matt Cassel? Go Chiefs! Bob,

The puzzle pieces will all start to fall into place once we get a head coach and coordinators hired. I bet that all happens pretty quickly. This draft could end up being huge, especially if Pioli ends up dealing LJ and TG. I have a funny feeling that no matter what Tony Gonzalez says, Pioli will re-sign him to another big deal. I don't think Pioli wants to make one of his first few decisions be to run Tony Gonzalez out of town... just a thought. Go Linebacker Pioli! Get Malualuga!!!
