It's official, the Chiefs will be picking at the #21 spot. Who should the Chiefs be targeting in the 1st round?

I want us to trade our #1 for Larry Fitzgerald, then look to add center in the 2nd round and an OLB in the 3rd. I would like to see us add an NT in free agency and a backup QB in the 4th-6th rounds.
I think are number one need right now is an OL. Weather it be a guard tackle or center. I believe centers are the most important cause for one thing they handle the ball. Weigmann is awesome but he even said he might on have one year left. He is over 10,000 consecutive snaps, he is bound to get injured soon.
I think its also time to replace Croyle. Obvioiusly that shouldn't be a number one pick.
Or do you go deep and trade down and get a few picks. Maybe trade for a second and third round picks. We still have a few positions to fill as far as deepth.
I think that we need to draft a pash rushing outside linebacker. We already have one but we need somebody to help Hali on the other side. IMO if we get an OLB that will make our defense a lot better and we will beable to score more points on defense, which in my opinion will help our offense out a lot. I have always believed you build your defense first and then build your offense. Look at Flacco and Sanchez, there is a lot of pressure taken off of their shoulders because of their defense. They know that if they do make a mistake they have a great defense that can hold the opposing defense from scoring. I'am a firm believer that offenses put fans in the stands and defenses win championships, and I think the Chiefs are almost there for a Super Bowl defense.
As a side note, I wish the NFL would go back to making less of a spectacle out of the draft.
I'm not sure I'm down with the "take another pass rushing OLB." We need a replacement for Vrabel. While he may be sometimes required to rush the passer, it's certainly not his primary job. Just google SAM linebacker to get a better idea of the traits this player needs to have. Akeem Ayers is a name of a guy that would be a good fit, not Von Miller. Miller rushed the passer something like 90% of the time in college. He plays the same position as Hali.
I can't help but wonder if they are really willing to give up on Studebaker that quickly to spend a 1st round pick on an OLB to replace Vrabel. It could happen, but to me it's a head scratcher. Studebaker should get 1st crack at it, as he has shown promise, but we never know.
I agree that Studebaker will be the starter replacing Vrabel this year. He took over in sub packages this year and will get his shot at starting full time next year. He has shown he holds up well in run support and coverage and has shown promise as a pass rusher when given the chance.
I agree that Studebaker should get a shot but Haley has preached that he is all about competition so just because Studebaker has showed some promise why not bring in another OLB for competition. Maybe I was wrong saying we need to get an OLB in the first round but if we dont go for one in the first round then I think we should get a big nose tackle in the first round.
