How about a less controversial subject...The Draft

No, not that draft, but the NFL draft. What are the Chiefs, or any team for that matter, needs? Obviously we need a lot of help in many positions, but what is most dire? Offensive line? Linebacker? Passrusher? Safety? Cover corner? Wide receiver?

I say offensive line. If almost any QB has enough time to throw the ball, they will find an open receiver, so my vote is for offensive lineman. Russell Okung out of Oklahoma State is regarded as the best OT pick. But we could use a good center too.

O line for sure, but I think you have to also look for the big play receiver to stretch the Defence.
I say offensive line as well. For too long, we have had quarterbacks running for their life. Offensive line and a running game that is actually a threat enough to freeze the linebackers for at least a nanosecond.

Do you guys remember all those years Marty was drafting O linemen #1 and how the media and talk radio pundents complained endlessly about it. Now everyone is calling for linemen LOL. Maybe I am the only one that finds this funny.
can you draft a coach????

I heard he was very condescending to Tait and his father, which really ended any chance of him staying in KC.

I believe all the pundits are predicting Russell Okung (OL from Oklahoma State) to be the Chiefs' #1 pick. OL (especially blind-side tackle), DE, CB, WR, TE and LB (in that order) should be the priorities IMHO.
Offensive Line definitely! Cassel needs some major help too, but if we can get the offensive line on track I think a lot of stuff would work itself out. Maybe we can win 5 games next season instead of 4 LOL. I don't know about you guys, but I really dislike Haley! I can't believe I'm even admitting this in public (revealing too much personal info on here lol), but I was sitting there thinking that Herm was better than Haley LMAO. At least Herm never flipped off his fans on Fan Appreciation Day. At least Herm never tried to publicly fix his image after doing that by searching out some bus rider & handing him some cash. If he was so concerned about being this "Mother Theresa" figure then why didn't he just give that money anonymously? No, he goes and has a press conference on the news about it along with an interview of the bus rider. He is so fake & phony. I can't stand him. They should fire Haley, and have a duo-head coach team of Weis & Crennel!! Sorry I'll step down off my soap box now (brushes self off, straightens hair LOL)....
GO SAINTS!!!

The Chiefs need playmakers! They should draft the best player available with the #5 pick, and there should be a major impact player there.

If DT Ndamukong Suh or Safety Eric Berry is there they should grab him. Both are rated to be the best to come out in ten years or so from what I've heard.

All things being equal I'd take the offensive lineman. Okung would be a very nice fit.

Time will tell, but I don't think the Chiefs did the smart thing by reaching for a defensive tackle last year. When you draft that high you should get a pro bowl quality player.

If Suh, Berry, and Okung are all gone I wouldn't have any problem with them trading down a FEW places and getting more high quality picks. Supposedly this draft is very deep and the Chiefs certainly have a whole bunch of holes to fill!

That is unless I am in the middle of a QB sandwich LOL. Okay Not Really! The sad thing is that the fantasy I have in my mind about how awesome that may be would be greatly disappointing if I actually had the chance to go through with something like that. My fantasy would be they are throwing all their attention on pleasuring me as they tell me how smart, witty and sexy I am while they talk dirty play calls to me while dressed in their uniforms along with helmets as I eat a piece of cheesecake and watching the Super Bowl LMAO, but in reality they are but just men & would both want to be shoving their cocks in my ass at the same time (some Extreme Double Anal Penetration LOL). That's when I look at the Ref & go "Okay Boys....TIME OUT!!!" LOL. Now if they wanted to screw around with each other as I sit in watch in excitement while they talk dirty play calls while dressed in their uniforms as I eat cheesecake & watch the Super Bowl....that would definitely be okay with me LOL (Woo Hoo)...

OL is definitely the biggest need (LT and C), but if Eric Berry is there it would be huge mistake to pass on him. He has the potential to be a Troy Polamalu or Ed Reed type, who raises the whole defense to another level. My biggest ongoing resentment against King Carl is that he traded down to take Junior Savii when Polamalu was on the board.
