With the third pick, the Kansas City Chiefs select OL Eugene Monroe from Virginia.
KevinE with the pick:
I really wanted to select a defensive player here since the Chiefs defense each year is consistently laughable. Orakpo is one of those players I would love to select here. Looking at KC's stats from last year, their offensive stats ranked higher (better) than their defensive ones. Chiefs were 4th worst in Points Against and 6th worst in Time on the Field. Offensively, the Chiefs ranked 24th in Yards per game, 20th in passing, and 12th in sacks allowed.
Certainly Thigpen's mobility helped in a reduced number of sacks. Cassel obviously does not have a lot of mobility, which is all the more reason a OL is needed. With a franchise QB and a RB in his prime, it is imperative that the Chiefs provide them protection with that Willie Roaf type monster. For that reason, a 6'5 - 315lb lineman from a school that pumps out solid OL is exactly what the Chiefs need - Eugene Monroe is an excellent addition with very low risk.
Seattle Seahawks (sugar) is on the clock...

If KC
is sincere in their intention to make Cassel their QB (and Todd Haley doesn’t have a different opinion about a 1 year success as a system QB), then they will have to draft Monroe or Jason Smith to protect their investment.
yep, only reason I took an OL
Why didn’t the Chiefs make a run at Dockery, so then they could use this pick on a stud defensive player? Maybe that’s why the Chiefs are in the gutter.
Give Props to the Front office on that one.
Dockery was a surprise, the only team ready for him to be dropped was Detroit who was trying to trade for him before the deadline. It appears the Redskins Quickly adjusted when Dockery became available, made an offer and got Dockery before any of the other teams were able to develop a plan of attack. Dockery’s skills have not decreased, he was moved for salary cap reasons only.
Not that it's a big deal now..
but I suggest a running tracker of who’s off the board… or, at least, still on the board.
Im gonna have to disagree.
If Aaron Curry is still on the board, he’s the pick. The chiefs need help at LB and you can’t pass on the safest bet in the draft.
