Official 2010 NFL Draft Thread

[Freed Roger]

The first round starts tonight, right?

after months of hype yes.

As one of the resident Chiefs experts here, I cannot see the Chiefs taking a DL unless there are intoxicants in use in the draft rooms at Rams Park, Detroit, Tampa Bay and Washington and Ndamukung Suh is still on the board at #5.

I wouldn't be surprised at Russell Okung, Trent Williams or Bulaga. An OT pretty much finishes out a rebuild job on the offensive line--a major need since 2006.

I would also not be surprised if Eric Berry is the choice.

Suh is the best guy at any position but he won't last that long. I'll be happy with one of the above OT's or Berry.

Winners Wear Red!

It really can be that simple. IF we pick any of those guys (Or Suh or McCoy if they fall to us, which they won't) it would be a safe, smart pick for Pioli. I'm still afraid he'll reach for McClain or do something foolish like draft Dez Bryant, one of the mid-1st round DE's, or reach for that safety from Texas if Berry is still there.

That would be fun Strat. I'm going to a draft party full of Chefs fans...the meltdown would be of epic proportions.

[TimeForGuinness]

I still think the Rams draft Suh #1 overall unless they trade down.

I can't see Pioli/Haley and Dez Bryant. Too much potential for drama. Former KC drama queen Larry Johnson didn't make it to the first frost with his theatrics.

Not much of a reference point with the current Chiefs organization. I'm going with the "what would New England do in this situation angle" and the answer comes up OT or Eric Berry unless Suh is there. KC won't take a QB until the 5th round or later.

The only thing I dislike about Pioli is how he likes to take the "reach" pick. Taking Jackson over Curry, Smith, Monroe, Maybin, Orakpo etc. But, this year I can't see him passing on Williams or Okung (one will still be on the board) or Berry.

[Radio_Bugtussle]

Seems like New England had some picks termed as reaches over the years. Most of those turned out pretty well. DL's generally need a season or two to get acclimated to the NFL.

I wouldn't be surprised if Jackson is a solid starter/regular for the better part of a decade.

I don't worry about Pioli committing a "Boonie". Old St. Louis football Cardinal fans understand what that means.

[InvincibleCakeEater]

I want to see a Mel Kiper vs Todd McShay cage match. Those guys cannot stand each other.

[TGantz]

Kiper is annoying as crap. I like Shay better.
