As a Raiders fan, I would be happy to see Allen out of the division. But I sympathize with you Chief fans. Allen had a great year and I really like his tenacity and motor. Big loss if it does happen.
I've read a bunch of mock drafts with varying degrees of reliability. As a Chiefs fan, who, ideally would you want to take? I would think Jake Long out of Michigan, but there's a very good chance he wont last to 5. Do you go with Matt Ryan if Long's gone and the Falcons pass on him? Are you guys seriously in the market for a QB or would you want to wait until the second round and get Henne/Brohm? Or are Chief fans happy with status quo?
I was listening to ESPN's podcast yesterday and they said that the Chiefs are big on Brandon Albert (G) out of Virginia. At 6-7, 310lbs, the Chiefs think he could play LT/RT... assuming Long isnt on the board. They have him above Clady and other OT's.
Picking up the Viking's 1st rounder (17th) might put them in a position to take a OT there if they dont get Long and dont think Albert is worth the #5.
What about defense? Would a guy like Ellis or Dorsey or Gholsten?
