WCG Mock Draft - The Kansas City Chiefs Select...

| ANALYSIS: My pick would anger the good folks at Arrowhead Pride who are all hot and bothered about Aaron Curry, but winning starts on the O-Line, and Monroe is the kind of player that you plug in for the next 10 years and forget about. Three out of four at Arrowhead Pride want Curry over Monroe. The Chiefs have many needs. They desperately need help on the O-line and they also need a pressure linebacker, so this was a really tough choice. What tipped me towards Monroe is the fairly high possibility that disgruntled ProBowl guard Brian Waters will not be back with the Chiefs this year. Waters was one of the key guys blowing holes for Larry Johnson and Priest Holmes for the Chiefs, and he wants out. The situation with him, already bad, appears to be deteriorating rapidly. I chose Monroe because the line is in desperate need of help, even if Waters stays (which I doubt). If the Bears are looking for a guard, they could do a lot worse than acquiring Brian Waters. |

The Chiefs just drafted a left tackle first round last year!
And he did extremely well! Why do people think we need another left tackle? Jeez what a wasted pick that would be.
Not really considering
One of the two could be RT. Anyway, I wouldn’t mind Monroe, I actually like him over Smith (the good one).
But, the hole left by a now silent Brian Waters is at guard, not tackle. Whether or not he returns for 2009, I don’t think he’ll get replaced with Branden Albert and Monroe plugged in at LT (even though Albert makes top-guard money, not top-left tackle money).
Simply put, I have not a clue what the Chiefs will do, but whatever it is it’s a can’t miss pick. Curry, Monroe, Stafford, Crabtree, trade down… I’ll be happy with whomever they choose.

Hey, thanks for stopping by...
The Chiefs will be interesting to watch this next season. Think Cassell is the real deal?
what they you use lame AOL speak
hells yeah
but only if we can give him a respectable offensive line to do damage behind, which is why I like Monroe at #3
Time is a great teacher... unfortunately it kills all it's pupils.
respectable offensive line ?
that sounds like a familar worry.
Being Who You Thought We Were Since 2005!
Time will tell
I have a hard time believing that he’s going to be any worse than what we have/had, but whether his success is his own, McDaniels scheme, Belichik system, or some combination of the 3, only time will tell.
I like his measurables over any other QB on the Chiefs roster. He’s a tall, athletic guy. We have a short guy in Thigpen, and a guy I would like to see cut in Croyle.

No you can't.
But the question for JA is WILL you ever draft a quality lineman?

I'll let you know in 2 more years...
When we have a chance to see CW for a couple more years, we will know if he is boon or bust.
LT
since we just drafted a LT last year that did pretty well it makes little sense drafting one this year… unless you can convince one to take a big pay cut and change positions….which i dont see happening
Albert doesn't make LT money...
He makes GAURD MONEY. That was possibly the last great thing the former GM did for this team. Albert could probably play any position on the line they want him too.
