I am sooooooo happy the Denver Broncos blew the AFC West
I am almost as happy that the Cowboys blew it yesterday
and I am happy that the Chiefs sucked so bad that they will get the second draft pick in the NFL draft which assures them of a future QB of some quality, at least in theory.
they are not guaranteed the second pick. They have a coin flip with St. Louis to determine who goes second and who is third.
Side note... they will not draft a QB with their first pick.
What they should do....
1) Hire Pioli as GM... today. Make him an offer he cannot refuse.
2) Fire Herm, Hire Cowher
3) Trade LJ... hopefully some dumbass team will give up a first rounder for him.
4) Sign Derrick Ward from the Giants to replace LJ (I believe he is a free agent)
5) with their First round pick.... take Oher or Andre Smith as their future Left Tackle. Move Branden Albert to LG and Brian Waters to Center. Bring in Herb Taylor to replace McIntosh at RT and put Barry Richardson in at RG.
6) IF they get a first rounder for LJ... pick up Orakpo from TX or the best available DE with this pick. If they don't get a first rounder, use our second round pick on the best DE available.
7) IF they get the first rounder for LJ, then they should use their second round pick to take the best MLB available. If not, then do so with third round pick.
8) Round 4-7 take the best Offensive or Defensive linemen available at each of those spots.... regardless of positional needs.
