I'm not sure what to think but I'm sure texaschief will tell me!!!!!!!!!!

As the days go by and the more ESPN and NFL Network I watch, the less likely I think it will be that we will get Jake Long. I watched both stations again this morning and John Clayton from ESPN and a guy from NFL Network BOTH said they think the likelyhood of Miami taking him goes up everyday!! Even though I felt like he was going to be gone by the #5 pick, I was trying to hold out hope that he might still be there. With all of the exposure this kid is getting, I now feel like the chances are virtually ZERO that he will be there when we pick!!! SUCKS!!!

I'm not holding my breath on J long being there at #5 either. The closer the draft gets, the less optimistic I become. I think you have to plan on him being gone. If he's there, then you sprint to the podium.

While i think he'll be gone before the 5th pick, i think this year's draft is pretty interesting. Everything I've read says Jake Long is maybe the 7th or 8th best "athlete" in this year's draft and he's probably going to be a top 2 pick. Where as probably the best 2 "athletes" in DMac and Gholston will probably go after the 5th pick.

This draft has an interesting dynamic.

Forget sprinting to the podium, let's get one of those jet packs and fly onto the stage and do this thing in style!

The best move for the Chiefs would be to draft Doresy or Ellis. Those are the two best DT's to come out in a long time, and they are the type of DT we need for our defense to work properly. We need our Warren Sapp, everything in the Tampa two revolves around our DT. We will likely not have a chance to draft another DT of that caliber again, and we have to do it while we can. Also Herm knows he needs a DT like that to have a great defense, and he would draft a great DT over an alright LT anyday. Doresy/Ellis>Long anyday.

Welcome to the Crowd.

Sounds like you are a big D guy?

I personally liked the offense of a couple years ago, but I know with Herm and the crew its going to be all about defense. We just added another small/fast LB, adding to us needing a DT... those LB's wont be able to do much and will kill us even more against the run without a good DT. Herm Edwards has drafted TWO offensive players ever, Dwayne Bowe and Santana Moss.

This is a deep deep year for Oline, CB's, and WR's. That increases the chances of Herm drafted a DT a lot more, and even if it weren't like that I still think he would, just because those are such rare DT's and we NEED one to effectivally run our defense. We could draft all the talent in the world for offense and it still wont be the best, just how Herm runs the game and likes to play.

Herm don't know how to run an offense!

That is why I think he will draft a CB first if Jake ain't available!

[RustShack]

Herm doesn't draft CB's in the first round, especially not a top 5. There is no possible way he could ever pass on a DT like Doresy or Ellis, mark my words. He has that eye for DB's and will wait until later rounds. I think Herms rain on our offense is over too, Gailey will run the show. Gailey has made the playoffs every year exept one as an OC, and he is a run run run control the clock coach like Herm wants. I think hes going to have the biggest impact on this team over anyone else we pick up.

So you want/think we will pick a DT first round, but still think our offense will be able to run, run, run and get first downs?

I think you haven't seen our O line lately!

It will be difficult to make our offense any less effective.
