The Picks History … Tuesday Cup O’Chiefs

I say if we get 4 of the 8 to be starters with at least 4 years of playing we done good.

Go Chiefs!!!

Great work Bob. Thanks for the effort. That took some time huh? I’m on Arrowhead Pride every minute of every day, so I get to see a lot of your work.

AP’ers are big fans of yours and we generally get a link to your articles pretty much every morning. Your one of us now. You might as well give in and join Arrowhead Pride.

You know you want to!!

Nice job Bob. It certainly gives pause to those draftniks who think they would do better than Pioli. Keep up the good work.

I still think we will be able to trade down and get good picks in return. There will be somebody who wants QB Claussen badly in spite of what they say now; or Berry; or Okung…

I think if we do want to trade we will be able to find a partner.

I agree, the plausability that we will have a legitimate offer to trade down in the draft increases daily.
No doubt the #5 slot for KC has been hotly debated on who we pick. I for one, would rather trade down to the middle of the first round & pick up an additional 2nd round pick. I’m not sure if Scott Pioli is getting much sleep these days, I do believe though, he will do his darnest to acquire the best players that fit the KC profile. An exciting & scary time to be a Chiefs fan indeed.
Go Chiefs.

Why would a team trade with us to get Clausen? Seattle isn’t likely to take him. I’m not so sure the Browns will either.

I don’t see anyone trading up with us to get Berry, either. I keep hearing the Eagles rumor…but that would drop us all the way back into the 20’s for our first pick. I don’t like that idea.

Okung? Maybe. No way at all do I see him still there at #5, though. I could see Detroit possibly taking him. And if they don’t, Washington will.

I think our biggest chance of trading will be if the Rams don’t take Bradford…which isn’t likely. But, it’s hard to tell if Seattle would be a threat to take him…since they traded for Whitehurst. Cleveland would take Bradford, I believe…but I have a feeling they are going to pass on Clausen. And for that matter, if Bradford did fall to #5? I’d be all for drafting the guy for us.

But, if I were the Rams GM…I’d seriously think about drafting Suh #1, and then trying to get Colt McCoy at the top of the second round. I just have a feeling that McCoy will be the most successful QB of this year’s draft.

Okay…I’m rambling.

Happy 420 Bob! Go Chiefs win in 2010.

Great Post Bob
I think this draft is so deep at positions that this years second round draft will be about as good as the first round after the top five last year. If we can find one impact OLB, someone to stuff the middle at nose tackle, and to play lights out on the offensive line if someone gets hurt this year or to come in and start, it would be a successful draft. I didn’t forget we needed a safety either. Just saying three positions of need filled would really help out a lot.

Great article Bob. However, I think the worst pick at No. 36 was Junior Siavi. I think he is with Dallas now, but he was a total bust here. I can hardly wait for this draft. I’ve looked at so many mock drafts I’m getting dizzy. My preference at No.5 is Berry. However, I hope whoever we take at 5 is an impact player. I want the two 2nd rounders to both be starters and not projects.

what do you guys think the odds are that we will finally get a primetime game this year???

I predict we will, but I only see about 60/40 chance, but thats far greater than last years odds…

We have added 2 great coaches, many new good/great players, and a new arrowhead, so if we dont get just one primetime game, I will be SCREAMING!!!

gorillafan,

I’d say the chances are not good. Small market team with a piss-poor record over the last three years? Doesn’t exactly scream viewer ratings.

The Colts game might be our best shot. But of course, that wouldn’t really be us getting the game. Would be cool if it did happen, and we kicked their asses in “primetime” in front of a national audience. That would be sweet.

We’ll find out later today.

gorillafan:
Should get at least one. The unvieling of the “new” Arrowhead might secure it. I think that 10 of the last 14 times a new or re-worked stadium has opened, they’ve hosted a game there. With the history of the Hunt’s in the NFL, I can’t imagine being passed over.

I think there is at least 12 players on this team that are going to turn the corner for this year , with Matt working on his gym time . The three RB’s , TE’s in place to block — High power coaching –Brandon Flowers & Jackson are very good and getting better .
It’s like ( with a little help ) just around the corner . I already know that a lot of guys on this team feel that they have more than good chance to roll through the W’s .

I know this isnt an important matter of the overall outcome of our season, but I do think its important that we do get a primetime game again. maybe it will help turn the tide alittle, players and or fans morale, whatever twist you want to put on it, but if we dont get one, I see us turning into the lions……and if we do maybe we can get our fanbase back like we had in the 90’s…..its a stretch i know, just a thot…..

The Chiefs are going to be in primetime TV this season. Wait and see.

Inside information, Enrique?

Gut feeling Mad Chief. Sheer gut feeling.

By the way Mad Chief, there’s a column coming up later in the evening; and furthermore, Bob has authorized a new section that we’ll be unveiling in just a few days.

Sweet, cant wait!!!! and Enrique, I hope your gut feeling is correct!!!

Enrique—
To help your gut feeling , I have talked to players and guy’s who do know players and this year looks very do able .
Todays game IS 80 to 90 % passing , Erick Berry is proably the biggest key to making it happen , along with who is here .
The Steelers lost FIVE games last year and they were the games that Troy P. was out !
Berry is a must !!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the insight Jim, and don’t worry…we’re about to find out.

In fact, I’ll raise the stakes. If you take into account that because of the flexible Sunday programming, contending teams are usually showcased in the Sunday Night broadcasts, I’ll leave you with this: I truly believe that we’ll see the Chiefs play on Sunday Night this upcoming season. There. I said it.

Bingo!

Chiefs-Chargers. Week 1. Sunday Nighter

Oops, turns out it is the MONDAY NIGHTER…Well, I guess I’ll have to “settle” for that.

Just kidding.
