My only question is how Curry will pick up sacks playng ILB. We have DJ and Vrabel as our starting OLBs. Curry would be lined up next to Zach Thomas inside. He wouldn't be asked to be the DE/OLB hybrid you're suggesting he would be.

OK... I've had a chance to cool down a bit now and I've decided that if we end up with a player by the name of Curry, Raji, or Jackson, I'll be happy. One thing I overlooked is that taking Jackson screws the Broncos since he is clearly one of the top 2 players they're targetting in this draft.
Two birds, one stone. And I guess 5 technique DEs (of which we have none) are pretty vital for any LB to succeed in the 3-4.
Exactly folks. Pioli doesn't say anything for weeks and now suddenly 1 week before the draft he decides he will leak who he wants to draft????? Wake up, because you know better. Pioli is going to leak whomever he thinks brings the most trade value to the pick. I guess we'll see how this plays out in about 3 hours. But leaking who the Chiefs are going to take just isn't a Pioli move. I think we can all agree on that.
Any player we take at the #3 spot, will instantly become one of the best players on the Chiefs roster IMO.
The problem with picking Raji is that you are basically pretending the Dorsey pick didn't happen last season.
Even though it wasn't on Pioli's watch, they are still paying Dorsey a **** load of money to be the DT, and his skill set doesn't translate well to being moved over to DE.
I hope this all a smoke screen to entice a trade offer for one of the Mark Sanchez suitors.
Honestly I don't have a problem with taking Jackson if its after pick 10, and if KC is posturing to get somebody to trade up for Sanchez and we can net a 2nd rounder in the process, or a 3rd, and still get Jackson I say go for it.
Jackson wouldnt' even start on a team like the Pats, and that bothers me.
1 hour 35 minutes till game time. I dont think it will take long to get to the Chiefs pick, maybe around 10-20 minutes at the most.
