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.

Monroe or Ragi.

I know I'm a newbie here and it might be unpopular but really I still think we should take Stafford if he is there. Another alternative is to trade down which at 3 is nearly impossible and take Sanchez. I have ZERO faith in ole #7.

You really know nothing about our needs or our roster.

Nice thing about opinions is that everybody's entitled to have one. By the way, your favorite Chiefs player (DT) spelled his first name D-E-R-R-I C-K.

The above wasn't an opinion, it was just asinine. Lets go ahead and pick up our QBOTF with a 2nd round trade and then draft one in the first, yep, that'll put our team on the right track for sure.

Matt Cassel is no one's QBOTF. He was decent last year in a great system. Time will tell however, but I have seen this guy since high school and he was a better baseball player than a QB.

Needless to say I have never been a fan of his, and probably never will. I just think he is overrated.

That opinion doesn't make it any smarter to want to draft a QB in the 1st round.

My thinking is Cassel is a bust and these two guys are the best pro style QB's coming out in a while. We won't have the opportunity to take a QB that played in a pro style in college with this kind of talent for a few years. I also don't think we will be bad enough to have the #1 pick overall next year so Bradford is probably out, although a spread QB the best of them, occasionally takes snaps under center. McCoy and Tebow are straight spread guys and that style by and large has not translated well into the NFL. You can't play out of the shotgun every play in the NFL.
