I wish, but the Chiefs jacked that up by beating Pittsburgh. He's the type of talent that is made for a 3-4 and having him would make a tremendous impact on the defense.jdubwaldo wrote: Anyone think we will see him in a Chiefs uniform next year?
I'd love to see the Chief's get Suh, I think he is a defensive impact player along the lines of Derrick Thomas. That said, it would be tough to go after another defensive lineman after Dorsey et al... although I have more faith that Suh will work out than I did the others.LenexatoKCMO wrote: Nah - the Chief's just may win another game before all is said and done and all signs point to Suh going top-3 minimum.
Pluse we have invested a hell of a lot in DLinemen the last several years - time for some of those guys to step up - there are other parts of the roster that need the draft picks worse.
I think a top 40 pick for DA might be a bit high. I think the Chiefs could get him right off the bat in round 3, though. But if they're really really convinced he's legit, and his combine/health evaluations might do that, then at the top of the 2nd wouldn't be a horrible reach.Highlander wrote: I'd love to see the Chief's get Suh, I think he is a defensive impact player along the lines of Derrick Thomas.

A Big XII player that could be a steal might be Mizzou's wide-out Alexander. Despite leading college athletics in receiving yards, he seems to be entirely off the radar screen and may still be available in the second round.
Not an ice cube's chance in hell Suh makes it past the top 10 pick, if not top 5.shaffe wrote: I think a top 40 pick for DA might be a bit high.

I agree? That's why I said I hope the Chiefs (who will probably land in the 5-10 range) move up a few spots (inside the top 5) to get him. I'd be somewhat surprised if he makes it past #1 or the first 3-4 defense who picks.jdubwaldo wrote: Not an ice cube's chance in hell Suh makes it past the top 10 pick, if not top 5.
Gotcha, I mis-read and responded in a hurry.shaffe wrote: I agree? That's why I said I hope the Chiefs (who will probably land in the 5-10 range) move up a few spots (inside the top 5) to get him. I'd be somewhat surprised if he makes it past #1 or the first 3-4 defense who picks.
That's actually not true. Alexander is famous for being one of the Rivals 2-star guys that have come to Mizzou and turned into all-coference/all-american players. That list also includes Sean Weatherspoon, Stryker Sulak, Jake Harry, and a whole host of others who have also made large impacts.im2kull wrote: He was rated higher on everyone's boards than Maclin coming out of highschool
Had it not been for Gabberts gimpy ankle, Alexander may be a Heisman candidate. His late season surge in yardage propelled him to the top spot on the stats chart in division I, had Gabbert not had those several bad games in a row (starting with the injury against Nebraska), Alexander's stats would be outrageous. I think he is a second rounder but he will be a steal going that late...he's the best wideout in the draft.shaffe wrote: That's actually not true.

Maclin was rated among the better players in the country, 3rd overall in Missouri and 24th among WRs nationally.
Harbaugh is looking like the favorite but definitely nice to see that Tuberville is on the line.kcmetro wrote: Tuberville might be a possibility

Well regardless, it doesn't appear that we will be having to hire any unknown, third tier coordinators or dig up the graves of former coachs to get the job filled.KCPowercat wrote: its 9th according to metro's list he published.
