Latest Mock has Chiefs taking Orakpo

NFL mock draft: Version V - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

I really think that Curry will be available by the 3rd pick.

DET: Has Culpepper, but he is aging. He is also a vet. This would be the perfect opportunity to draft a QB and stick him behind Culpepper to develop.

STL: Bulger really needs more protection, atleast from what I see. They could use help on D, but I think they should be fine, I would expect them to draft a lineman.

KC: Curry! But wait a min. Some people speculate that he will be gone. If he is there do we take him? We need an OL to protect Cassel. At the same time, do you let a playmaker like crabtree get away? Cassel's sucess was based on players like Moss and Welker and the whole reciving core. Wait, they used the RB's to.

I still stick with Curry. The say defense wins its all, and I am begging to think its true. Plus the weak point of KC is the D.

Guess we will find out April 24th.

The fact we have so many needs makes the third rounder just about a win anywhere. I really do think the Lions will take a QB, but even if they do not, there are at least two very good offensive linemen in the draft and Curry. So no matter what we will get something we need. QB will not be on the list for us, so any mock drafts that think that are really out of their mind.

But then i'm still worried haley and pioli might actually take a stab at crabtree.
who knows

Thats the problem, with Cassell most likely @ QB Crabtree is a real possibilty. TG, Bowe and Crabtree. On the other hand we need Curry. You have to look at whats down the line as far as the picks go. Some of the best players come in the later rounds!

[pbatrucker]

I,m on the Curry bandwagon.
Truth is, it still depends on who else we pick up as free agents. There are still players that could solidify our OL and LB's. Then Crabtree comes into the equation.

[honda522]

Wouldn't it be scary if we passed on Curry?

[yashi]

The beauty of it is that not only is he the best player in the draft, but he fills a need. And on top of that, he can play any LB position in a 3-4 or 4-3.

I really hope Tank is adding muscle right now so he can be the NT if he needs to be, then the decision to take Curry would be a much easier one.

I may be the only one in fantasy land but I cant be the only one excited at the idea of Cassell throwing to D. Bowe, TG, and Crabtree. If we could trade LJ for a decent pic, 3rd (honestly have no idea what his market value is now but it cant be high) if we could shore up our line with those guys on the outside. We would have a GREAT offense for a longtime.

i do realize Curry is a freak and we need help on defense, We will end up just taking the highest player on our board which will probably be curry

If Curry is gone, I actually wouldn't mind taking Crabtree.

Well seattle needs a RB, so does the whole NFC North IMO.

To me the Chiefs have a win-win situation. If Curry isn't off the board by the time they pick at #3 he fills a spot we need. If Curry is gone that means there's still a great O lineman out there and it fills a spot we need.

Taking Crabtree at #3 doesn't make sense to me. No matter how great a player he is it seems like it'd be putting the cart before the horse. We have a really good QB now but who cares how good our receivers are if by the time they turn their head for the ball our QB is on his back?

I agree with all of this 100%. This is going to be a pretty easy pick regardless of how it plays out.
