I would agree and say take the best LT left in the draft. To me the best defense is a great offense. If you score 35+ points a game your defense only has to hold once or twice. However, since we're probably switching from a 4-3 D to a 3-4 D we're going to need to use this draft to take care of what we can't fill in FA and then patch the O til next year.

What happens when your offense runs into a great defense? It sputters almost every time. Just look at the last ten years. Best team of the decade wins three SB's and loses the 4th when it has one the best offenses in history. Pitt takes care of the Cardinals this year. Baltimore and Tampa are among the list of recent champions. Heck, the best Chiefs offense in recent history put together a 13-3 season and hit another road block in the playoffs. I'd rather have a balanced team. The best defense is a good defense, and the best offense is a good offense -_-

I think the stunt that Andre Smith pulled at the combine will cost us getting Eugene Monroe. I would imagine that he will now be the #1 ranked LT in this year's draft. I would love to have Monroe at #3.

But I really think the Chiefs need to take an impact defensive player with the 1st rd pick. I think we can get a solid Center(Mack, Unger) in the 2nd rd or a solid RT(Loadholt) in the 3nd rd.

I will change my mind in 20 minutes though.

Haven't been able to catch any combine coverage this year Coach.

What stunt?

He showed up overweight and out of shape and chose not to participate in the drills. Then he just bailed.

I'm hearing a lot of good things about Curry as well. I just think we can get a good LB in free agency. Once the free agency picture plays out, the draft becomes much more predictable.

The combine is also providing some unique twists. Crabtree and Andre Smith could possibly fall to us in the 2nd round right now.
