Title: Chefs draft
Post by: Dirty Sanchez on December 13, 2009, 08:35:51 PM
Despite how bad they are, they are sitting right now in a position to get the 5th pick.  A loss to Cleveland next week would be huge, but still would put them in place for a 4th/5th pick.

StL, TB with 1 win, Cle and Det with 2.  Fortunately Washington won today to give the Chefs the advantage over them.

I'm back on the Chiefs bandwagon and seeing signs of progress. While I don't want to see them tank I wouldn't be against seeing Ndamukong Suh in a Chiefs uniform next season.

Please share.  Cause as of now I haven't seen one truly redeemable player...Succup and Colquitt maybe.

Yes, good idea to draft 3 defensive lineman top 5 3 years in a row.  God no.

You gotta hit on one eventually. At least they've been competitive for the most part this season.

Looks like the Chiefs will draft 3rd, if they take care of business and lose in week 17.

STL picks first, then Detroit, then we have the tie breaker over Tampa Bay because KC had an easier schedule. (schedule strength is the first tie breaker).  http://www.theredzone.org/strength.asp

HCTH gets alot of crap from the media and the fans and, in his defense, I don't think that Don Shula could win with this bunch so I'm much more patient. However, with guys like Bill Cowher and Mike Shanahan available do you think it's a possibility that we make a change?

Nope.  Not a chance.

That would challenge Scott Peoli's status as resident big shot.

Gotta be an o-lineman or trade down if possible.

They have two #2 picks.  I doubt that they'll force a position with the first pick.  I hope they trade out of that spot, but we all thought that Peoli would do that last year as well.

I still can't believe we chose Tyson fracking Jackson with the 3rd overall pick. Right now, it looks like we are going to draft offensive lineman Russell Okung from Okie State.

Si. Whenever you can knock your rival out of a playoff spot it is worthwhile...

As for the draft, I say Chiefs have got to draft two O-Linemen, a RB, a WR, & an LB?

Didn't knock Denver out of the playoffs.  Actually helped us out, you guys get a worse draft pick (in theory), we get a better draft pick (in theory), and we aren't in the playoffs regardless of the outcome of that game.  Thanks for the help, Chiefs.

Broncos still had an outside shot at the playoffs. That's why I said they knocked them out of a playoff spot...

It sounds like the Rams aren't sold on Suh. What would it take for the Chiefs to trade up from #5 to #2 to get him or would the price be way too high?

I'm also hearing that a new offensive coordinator is definately coming to KC this week. If it's not Charlie Weis I've heard that Brian Schottenheimer of the Jets or Mike Miller of the Cardinals who HCTH coached with are possibilities.

I'm also hearing that the Chiefs are going to have competition from the Giants for Romeo Crennel.

Bill Williamson, AFC blogger on ESPN.com, writes that Julius Peppers to the Chiefs makes sense:

This could be a good fit. But I’m not sure Peppers would be interested in being part of a rebuilding project. Still, the Chiefs may have the money to make it work. Kansas City stayed away from high-profile free agents last season in Scott Pioli’s first year in town. But Peppers could create havoc as part of Romeo Crennel’s 3-4 defense and he’d take pressure off the Chiefs’ young defensive front. He’d make this team better in a hurry.

Add Casey Hampton and Kerry Rhodes to the list, and possibly take Julius Peppers off of the list according to Adam Teicher of the Kansas City Star, of possible free agency pick ups for the Chiefs.

Also still hearing rumblings of Anquan Boldin and now Mr. Super Bowl hero Darren Sharper, Karlos Dansby, Chester Taylor, Ryan Clark, Thomas Jones, Willie Parker and Antrel Rolle

Kiper gives the Chiefs an B-. I like the fact that they drafted people I've heard of. We'll have to wait and see.

Eric Berry is an impact safety and should become a star. Let's make one last Ed Reed comparison before we close the book on this draft. Dexter McCluster early in Round 2 surprised some people -- Jamaal Charles has impressed -- but a lot of people don't realize how versatile McCluster is. Aside from his obvious rush and return skills, he has great hands and can line up in the slot. He diversifies that offense. Still, the Chiefs are no better on either the offensive or defensive line, outside of Jon Asamoah, but I felt he played better as a junior. Javier Arenas is a good little player, but not a starter.

Starting to hear T.O. to the Chiefs rumors. This makes me :ohno:! I think the Chiefs are building something good and don't know why you would want to bring his character issues into that. T.O. is usually pretty good for the 1st year to sucker you in but I don't see the Chiefs as Super Bowl contenders this coming season and he certainly won't be putting us over the top.
Title: Re: Chefs draft
Post by: rak21 on May 03, 2010, 01:06:41 PM
Matt Williamson of Scouts, Inc. on the Dexter McCluster pick:

"Look at McCluster as a wide receiver first, but also as someone who can get carries as a running back and can certainly contribute as a return man. Now you have something. The Chiefs' coaching staff desperately needed their version of Wes Welker, and McCluster should be that person. When comparing the two, McCluster is smaller, but he isn't any less physical, and frankly, he is more gifted than Welker in terms of big-play ability, make-you-miss agility and overall explosiveness. There is potential for McCluster to turn into a 'Welker Plus' when you consider his added big-play ability and versatility to contribute at other positions."

ESPN.com NFC East blogger Matt Mosley wrote on Thursday that Patrick Crayton could end up being released by the Dallas Cowboys, now that the team has several other options at the receiver position. He adds that it might be a mistake, seeing as how Crayton is reliable and depth at the position could be important for the Cowboys this season; nevertheless, there is a good chance it could happen. Calvin Watkins of ESPNDallas.com relayed word on Sunday night from Crayton's agent that the receiver will not attend OTAs this week, a possible sign that something is currently being worked out.

A full list of suitors for Crayton has not yet emerged (a trade would be unlikely, as interested teams will probably wait for him to be let go), but one option that has been put forward is the Kansas City Chiefs. The blog ChiefsCrowd.com suggests the team as a great fit for Crayton, where he could compete for the slot receiver position with rookie Dexter McCluster, and possibly factor in on the outside as well. If Crayton does get released from the 'Boys, several receiver-needy teams could come calling.

More on Dexter McCluster.....

Josh Looney of KCChiefs.com writes that the competition for the Kansas City Chiefs' third running back position is wide open, with Kolby Smith and Javarris Williams among the players vying for the spot. But Looney also adds that the team could go in a different direction, plugging rookie Dexter McCluster in at the position, and giving him some opportunities as a change-of-pace runner, in addition to his role as slot receiver. Here's more on McCluster's role this season:

The Chiefs were described frequently as "Patriots West" in 2009 with GM Scott Pioli, QB Matt Cassel and OLB Mike Vrabel in town, an idea further buttressed by the addition of defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel and offensive coordinator Charlie Weis this offseason. But is the team ready to take another chapter from Bill Belichick's book?

The initial reaction to the Chiefs' selection of McCluster was confusion, given the fact they already had Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones on the team. We took a turn discussing his possible role in late April, and Matt Williamson of Scouts Inc. followed with more on that topic, including a comparison to a very productive Patriot



And then there's John Clayton's early thoughts on the Chiefs.....

"The Chiefs are still a draft or two away from respectability. I think they are good enough to get to six wins this season. Maybe they can catch a break and get to seven. What's holding them back is the run-after-catch ability of their receivers. Matt Cassel is an efficient quarterback, but he doesn't have a strong arm. The offensive line should be a little better, and the defense is starting to shape up. During Herm Edwards' last couple of years, the team got too old and the talent dropped off too far. At least the Chiefs are making progress."

Post by: rak21 on June 20, 2010, 11:20:27 AM
I'm hearing that Eric Berry, Dexter McCluster and Javier Arenas have been impressive so far but perhaps the rookie with the biggest impact will be Tony Moeaki.

As Kent Babb of the Kansas City Star writes, the Kansas City Chiefs had some brief flirtations with a version of the wildcat offense in 2008, but it was wildly unsuccessful.

Now that multi-talented second-round pick Dexter McCluster is in the mix, the team has been running some wildcat during training camp, with Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones joining in the fun as well. However, Babb notes that the work being done might be as much for the defense to practice defending the 'cat as it is for the offense to learn how to run it.

While many teams have experimented with using the formation, the Chiefs' Week 2 opponent -- the Cleveland Browns -- may use it more than others. This includes a special "Cyclone" package, where backup QB Seneca Wallace and Josh Cribbs both line up in the backfield. The scout team will have an interesting assignment in the week leading up to that game.
