I just went through the roster cuts that were posted on the Red Zone. There are some names of young talent that were cut. I found names that could possibly help us around the lines. OLine OT Jamon Meredith= 5th round draft pick by the packers. When the 5th round was up I thought we should have got him and I was awfully upset that we didn't draft him. Instead we went with Colin Brown. Meredith is out of South Carolina. On nfl.com they said that he was one of the better sleepers picked up. C AQ Shipley. 7th rounder that some thought had 3rd ability. They say he is short and has short arms to be a center in the NFL. Shipley's case has been made before. Guard Trevor Canfield. Being a Cincinnati Bearcat fat this would be an awesome sign. When I was his name on roster cuts I thought we need him now! OT Alex Boone. Boone was cut by the 49ers. He would be an alright backup. In the bowl game vs. Texas he made the 13th pick Orakpo do nothing

Hey I just need a little help.

Someone to fill in for these guards in a couple years.  Most want a new center.  This is probably the deepest center draft I've ever seen.  I'm ok with Niswanger but we can draft a new center.  Then move Niswanger to reserve and maybe he'll be a starter once Goff or Waters are gone. 

 

Two Gs I'm liking in later rounds are Trevor Canfield out of Cincy.  He is predicted a 3rd rounder.  I'm also likin Louis Vasquez.  Predicted 4th.  Also a Marlon Davis out of Bama.  Predicted 7th rounder. 

 

We need someone to back up these old guards and take over there spot when they are finished.  What do you guys think?

I thought I'd see what you guys think.  I was sitting in class bored on the net and these are the guys I came up with our current picks.

 

Rd1  LB A. Curry or a LT E. Monroe.  If Curry is gone (doubtful) then we'd have to go to Monroe.  I like Monroe over Smith.  And it would add to our latest tradtion.  Tamba Hali (Penn ST)  Larry Johnson (Penn ST) Dwayne Bowe(LSU) Glenn Dorsey(LSU) Branden Albert(Virginia). 

 

Rd3 DE P. Kruger.  We are showing interest and I think people like him here.  Has a good motor but is old.  He's a fighter check out his bio on www.nfl.com  He'd be a great sucess story

 

Rd 4 C A. Caldwell  be a good fit since we play in a division with 3 3-4s.  He's big and was apart of one of the greatest college O'Lines in recent years

 

RD 5  RT A. Boone.  Big but has some issues of not playing through the play.  He did a great job against a possible Top 5 pick in Brian Orakpo

 

RD6  DT M. Pryer    Possible NT for us in the future

 

RD7  OG  M. Davis   Part of that Bama O'Line underated IMO

 

RD7 ILB B Chrispoter  Local guy.  Think he would be a 3-4 guy.  Need another LB to replace Vrabes or Thomas someday soon.

 

What do you guys think?  Every1 is reachable I believe.  Looked at walterfootball for his player projections.

I know we want to be discret about everything possible.  But has anyone heard of us talking to anyone?  The time for the 2nd tier FA is here.  Theres still plenty of talent out there young and old.  Guys I wouldn't mind seeing us atleast talk to

1.  Ray Willis OT 4 seasons

2.  Igor Orlansky DE 4 seasons

3.  Marc Columbo OT 7 seasons

4.  Jake Groove C 5 seasons

5.  Eric Barton ILB 10 seasons

6.  Devery Henderson WR 4 seasons

 

Those are my top 6.  Probably still pretty highly sought after guys.  I also have Mike Goff and Tra Thomas both are 11 seasons in.  Got to improve that OL so then make drafting Curry even easier to do.

We all figure it to be part of our next season adventures.  I was wondering what the LB corps is goin to look like and who our coaches are going to be.  Pendergast and Gibbs are both fired D Cordinators.  Both have history as a LB coach.  And nothing more.  If we bring Romeo in do we give the LB coach to both of them or what?

Then with the LB corp.  What would DJ be in our 3-4.  We will have Vrabel which can play Lolb and inside.  Then if we could draft curry they say he would be an OLB.  So what does this mean for the outlook of our group?  Who knows who the other LB could be.

I'm wondering on how we plan to get good players in free agency.  Players that are good people and fit our system.  When we don't even know what our system is.  By what we have on the roster I think Clancy Pendergast will be the D coordinator and we will run his hybrid 3-4 until the pieces are in place some 3 years from now.  Alot of people still hope for Romeo. 

The number 1 guy for most of our chiefs fans just got even more untouchable.  In this article it is stated why we wont be seeing peppers in our chiefs uniforms.

Unless of course that one team would be us.  Doubftul though.  Then even if he isn't franchised and traded why would we go somewhere other than those 4 teams if he could go to any 31 teams.

The chiefs are being quiet about this one.  The way the news is sounding it sounds like we are going to get the number one wanted man in football right now.  I was just wondering if everyone thinks our greatest dreams are finally gonna come true with getting Pioli. 

Coming from his resume he's a winner and that's what we need around here.  So I really hope we get this guy.  And I think we're gonna get him.

I know that having so many rookies on your team.  Atleast one or two of them are going to show good signs.  I'd say our corners including Maurice Legget have looked pretty darn good.  We must have a good D Back coach.  Or it may actually be Herm.  I was just wondering who you guys think are the stand out rookies.  And who the failures are.  There is still time for some of them to become dominant.  Hopefully I'm talking about Glenn Dorsey there.
