    Can anyone tell me why Trent Green was seated onstage at the press conference featuring Clark Hunt reflecting on 50 years in KC?  I didn't find him listed on the staff pages.  Is he still associated with the Chiefs?  Just curious.  I only skimmed through the video, but there didn't seem to be any mention of T Green (or anyone else on stage, but then, it was obvious why they were there - coach, GM).

    How are my fellow Chiefs fanatics feeling about the 2012 Draft?  I'm easy to please when it comes to the draft because I don't know too much about most college players.  It looks like Pioli & co. filled needs, so that's good.  Its  waiting game now; that is, waiting a year or two to find out if it was indeed a good draft.  If Poe plays like the beast of a man he appears to be...whoa, this is going to be good - very good.

    Go Chiefs!

• I feel a draft I feel a draft

  • From: ChiefsFaithful_NY
  • Description:

    I don't have a guess as to whom the Chiefs will draft first, but I'm looking forward to KC's picks for the entire draft.  Somehow I doubt the first pick will, by itself, determine the success of the 2012 Draft.  Let's hope for players - and I mean real players - in every round.  In other words, guys that'll have the potential to have some kind of positive impact, if that only means providing competition to the starter and back-up. 

    Those of you in Kansas City, what's the buzz?  Is there any way Pioli and company trade down from pick in 11?

• Chiefs Draft Needs Chiefs Draft Needs

  • From: CiscoKid
  • Description:

    OG: Ryan Lilja is an aging unsized lineman whose starting days have come and gone. Lilja would be the ideal veteran backup but not only at guard but also center. The concern with starting a rookie LG is how the O-line will function with a new RT in Eric Winston and a new starting center in Rodney Hudson, this concern cannot be ignored but rather dealt with and one sure fire way of doing just that, and still moving forward is insuring that Lilja's replacement is a "blue chip" caliber player. Not only will OG David DeCastro be more than able to handle the responsibilities at the position, but his play and game day attitude will bring a youthful talent and style of play that will help Hudson and Albert rather than hinder.[DeCastro]

    RB: J.C. is coming back after knee surgery. I'll state it again...J.C. is coming of knee surgery. No one, including Charlies has any idea if he will return as the old Jamaal Charles or if he will ever again be able to play a full season. The Chiefs will continue to rely first and foremost on the run, for the passing attack to ever become a true nightmarish weapon the running game must be dominate each and every week. Superior depth is a must. The Chiefs took a flier on Peyton Hillis and as much as he might become a fan favorite, there are question surrounding his game as well as his long term future with the Chiefs. Adding a high quality RB early on in the draft would prove to be outstanding value for the roster and settle any lingering concerns about what the Chiefs are all about. [Martin]

    ST: It was actually kind of funny reading the reactions by Chiefs fans to the signing of RT Eric Winston during free agency, you'd had thought Kansas City just signed someone like..Payton Manning! I'm making light of the situation only because the Chiefs did in fact sign Winston, had they not, I'd be spitting bullets. But Winston is what he is, a RT, not a RT that can move over to the other side. Albert and Winston are comfortably "solid" but the Chiefs do not have that all important tackle able to step in at either spot due to injury, a swing tackle. Yes, we all have a secret man-crush on the man that is David Mims. While Mims is even able to scare the shit out of even Gregg Williams, I fear he would be a disaster at left tackle.[Schwartz]

    S: One of the biggest irritants with the Chiefs roster is the lack of talent in the depth chart. For the Chiefs to ever be taken as serious contenders they have got to begin managing the roster much better in regards to talent that is able to actually play. Last season saw the Chiefs secondary suffer with the loss of starting SS Eric Berry. Ranking safety this high might not meet with approval by the majority of Chiefs fans but adding a backup SS and FS would be wise and well worth the investment...Do it right the first time. [Taylor]

    DE: The questions and concerns over the play and futures of Chiefs DE Tyson Jackson and Glenn Dorsey litter websites everywhere, to the point that some draft analysis have the Chiefs addressing this need by drafting Michael Brockers with the #11 pick in the first round. But whether it be Cox or Brockers, there isn't a 5 technique in this year's draft that would be able to unseat either Jackson or Dorsey and improve the Chiefs pass rush and overall defense. It should be remembered that both the Chiefs starters at DE were at best "emergency" starters, Jackson was a reach and may never be much more than an average LDE, and Dorsey IS a DT in a 4-3 defensive front forced to play out of position. The Chiefs can survive the 2012 season with both and will more than likely be looking to use free agent monies in next year's free agent market to make upgrades. The Chiefs for the time being have the improving DE Allen Bailey and could add depth in the 4th or later rounds. [Wolfe]

    NT: Just don't see a significant upgrade coming at the position, certainly not by using a 1st round pick on NT Dontari Poe. Now Poe may some day develop into the game's premier NT but that won't fix the Chiefs immediate issue in the interior of the defensive line. Aside from shipping a 4th round pick to Detroit for DL Sammie Lee Hill, I'm expecting the Chiefs to use some of their remaining cap space to sign a veteran NT or sit tight with Gordon and Powe. Most have given up on the Chiefs 2011 6th round draft pick, but as is the case with all of last year's rookies, they missed the offseason workouts and their development suffered because of it...let's see what Powe looks like at the end of training camp.

    CB: Cornerback could easily be moved up this list, but I won't...call it being stubborn on my behalf, but the Chiefs had a chance to make a significant franchise changing move at CB during the offseason and did not. Yes a 1st or 2nd round CB would be much cheaper than Brandon Carr, but if we are to have that discussion we'll need to do so with all the positions. The Chiefs still have a 4th round CB they had better develop (Brown) before they go using high end picks for the position...now if Mr. Wonderlic should drop to #11, well, disregard everything I've said.

    LB: Not overly concerned about the Chiefs OLB positions other than depth possibly behind Hali. I wouldn't mind seeing the Chiefs re-sign Wallace Gilberry and sit his learning-butt behind Tamba for a season just to see what might develop. As for the ILB spots, most specifically the LILB position, some have argued that this is THE biggest weakness on the defense. I just don't see it as such with Belcher and Siler in place, they may not dominate but they are adequate. Sure, who wouldn't love to have LB Luke Kuechley or Donti Hightower...Can I also get RB Trent Richardson as well? Please?! If the 2012 season proves that neither Belcher or Siler are the answer, the Chiefs could target Notre Dame's LB Manti Te'o in next year's draft.

    TE: I know the Chiefs are looking at the kid from Oklahoma, but really? I don't see the tight end position as an area of great need...at this point. Yes I do have serious concerns with Moe's health and inevitable return, but the addition of TE Kevin Boss and the shifting of Steve Maneri to the blocking TE spot has greatly lessened the need. If Moeaki should falter during the 2012 season, look for the Chiefs to make a move in the early rounds of the 2013 draft in search for his replacement.

    QB: If fans haven't figure it out yet, then go ahead and keep bashing your head against the brick wall. No, the Chiefs are not going to make a significant upgrade at the QB position. Matt Cassel and his cap friendly contract is exactly what this team needs at this point of its' development. He is good enough to allow the players to grow and learn in order to be prepared for the day when it will be all about winning a Super Bowl...Looking for Cassel's replacement in the 2014 draft.

    FB: Until I'm convinced of the type and degree of usage the FB will have in the new offense any upgrades should either come in the later rounds of the draft or via the undrafted free agent talent pool.

    These are key to getting in to P. Mannings mind during the 2012 season I'm focusing on P. Manning for the reason that he is now in our division I belive that he also thinks this will be a cake walk.Speed blitzing getting him moving has always been the answer for him if the Chiefs can get after it with Green Bay and win like they did then Denver will be no problem I still think the KC Chiefs are the team to beat in the 2012 AFC West Contest . Play Hard Play Safe.

• War Paint War Paint

  • From: dodgedirt
  • Description:

    Don't worry about P Manning he's coming back from an injury and a serious one at that. Mr. Elway just spent alot of money for a guy that will be very gun shy. With the defense that KC has he'll be running for his life and throwing balls to the sidelines more than usual because of it. A few blogs ago fans were stating that Manning  had declared war with the division well the Raiders, Chargers and the Chiefs are not going to just roll over. P. Manning will have his hands full in this division I just hope that Elway gets what he deserves trying to scare the rest of the division into submission with the Manning acquisition. Remember Manning is comming out of a division that is average at best no elite teams Houston , Tennessee and Jacksonville only the Colts over the years have done any good consistently.I would'nt worry about the Broncos this year I do belive that the direction that Chiefs front office has gone with their acquisitions during free agency looks very promisnig and on paper they look like the team to beat so far and as long as every player stays healthy they will be so when the pony's come to town get the war paint out with pride and ride them into the ground

• GM Day 3:Free Agency Pt.2 GM Day 3:Free Agency Pt.2

  • From: caseychief
  • Description:

    Now that we've filled some definite positions of need, it's time to find the up and comers, depth, and good deals. With that being said I still think the full court press should be applied to Curtis Lofton. He won't come cheap, but him next to DJ shores that middle up, no matter who is at the NT position. Unless we're thinking Luke Kuechly in the first round? OK, now back to those other guys. What about DT Aubrayo Franklin? Last year everybody wanted this guy here. Now coming off a disappointing season with the Saints, should be a bargain and Romeo will figure out how to use this guy. Antonio Garay might cost a little more, but he would work also. FS Oshiomogho Atogwe would provide a veteran presence in the secondary as well as needed depth. DE Luis Castillo could be a value pick up after not playing last year. If healthy and playing like he did, this would be a way to create a lot of competition at DE. G Derrick Dockery for depth, or possible starter if one of the younger ones don't develop like we hope.

    No way do we try to make all those moves, but 2 or 3 would make for the second best offseason in the NFL this year (behind only the Donkeys, I still throw up in my mouth a little every time I think about it). And for sure the best offseason in recent memory for the Chiefs and we still have the draft coming.

• FA Post FA Post

  • From: chiefsfaninva
  • Description:

    Yesterday was one of those days where I was very pleased with the work Pioli did.  A 4 yeat 22M contract for Winston is not only fair, but lands us such an important FA to get us where we hope to go.  Brady Quinn is a far better backup thank anything we had on the field last year aside from maybe Orton, but time will resolve those questions.  

    I tend to be very critical when I see mistakes being made and I want to make sure Pioli knows- GREAT JOB on WINSTON!!!!!!!

    Since I am in sales it is on to the next one- Bowe needs to get done, I still think we should sign Tolbert and I have a new one that would be a great backup for all interior line= Hadnot.  He can play both guard positions and center and he is 30.  He should be a real good value and we could use some depth on the interior line.

    My next post will be about the draft.

    Again, to the management office- Boss and Winston are great signings.  Rhoutt and Hillis both have potential and hopefully will be a good value.  The offseason got so much better with the Winston signing, my 200LBS frame might be sporting a Winston Jersey come fall. 

    Go Cheifs!

    ...signing top-notch free agents to make our Chiefs legitimate contenders.  Clark Hunt is committing the cash so Scott Pioli can work his magic and, while we won't know how effective these new players will be until next season is in full swing, free agency is looking very, very productive.

• FA is so PAINFUL FA is so PAINFUL

  • From: chiefsfaninva
  • Description:

    I am going to forget the usually rejected rants and say this-

    I like the Boss signing.

    They need to get 5 year deals done with Bowe, Winston and TOLBERT.  Hillis was a good one year signing to prove his value, but Tolbert is PERFECT since McClain is gone.  Hillis and Tolbert on the field at the same time at the goal line are you kidding me. 

    We have a great core, but there are more needs than they are moving to fill so I can already tell this draft is going to frustrate me.  We just can't fill all the positions we need through the draft this year.

    Assuming they get those deals done we need the following-

    QB, Starting Guard, Oline Depth, Starting DT, ILB, Quality Secondary Depth.

• Day 2 FA Day 2 FA

  • From: chiefsfaninva
  • Description:

    When I got off work yesterday so excited to see who we are moving on in FA there was NOTHING and I was well, MAD!!!!!  I had worked myself into a tailspin then I finally saw some good things.  Below are my likes and dislikes so far-

    Like- Tolbert- BUY, BUY, BUY!!!!- Winston- Bring the check book.  Both of these guys are perfect for our needs and are yound enough that a long contract is properly placed.

    Mixed- Carlson- Great TE, but injuries killed us last year at TE might be risky.  Hillis- is he a diva, injury issues, money? Not sure about him as an individual, but I guess our folks will find out. Castillo also injuries?

    Dislikes- No Interior lineman (NICKS!!! or Grubbs, Wells?), No DT- Soliai?, No long term deal for Bowe, No QB's for "competition"- Campbell gone, Orton to Dallas as a backup which means he doesn't want to play for KC.  Peyton won't even visit.

    Don't get me wrong there are two people on the list that I am CRAZY about and that is fantastic, but there are some holes in our shopping that are making me tear up a bit.  Namely Interior lineman, DT and QB.  Maybe we are being secretive, but what has that earned us?  Lets give the fans and the players something to rally around execs!  You need to build an organization that Players want to come to and suddenlty great players will come and build the team with you.

    Honestly, I live in the DC area and while I think the redskins are poorly managed- but they invest like they are trying to win every year.  They don't offer consistency, but I believe we offer the same lack of consistency in our coaching and losing veteran leadership.  The issue is different they will buy anything and we buy NOTHING, our offseason last year showed the world we are proving that you can institutionalize mediocrity if you only spend money in the wrong places.  Honestly, where are the renegotiations for Dorsey and TJAX?  How about Ca$hole?  What happened with Orton?  Who is steering this ship and where is it going?

• GM Day 2:Free Agency GM Day 2:Free Agency

  • From: caseychief
  • Description:

    OK, so it doesn't look like Manning is coming, no problem. Now we have a whole bunch of money to spend wherever we want. Task #1:RE-SIGN Brandon Carr and Dwayne Bowe to long term deals (this is a no brainer). Next we need to fill the most glaring holes in our team, NT and RT. Since the free agent market on OT is horrible so far and there is going to be one of the top three tackles available to us in the draft, looks like its NT in the free agency market. Soliai is the best available and we have the most money to spend. After that deal is done the only other real needs are ILB and RB. Stephen Tulloch would look really nice at that inside thumper position next to Derrick Johnson. Mike Tolbert is well known to all of us and would be the perfect fit beside Charles and McCluster. Other than that we just add players for depth and competition at TE, S, RG/C, T, DE, and QB. Whichever ones we see as a good fit for the right price. If we get two out of our top three targets and maybe one diamond in the rough, it will have been a very good free agency period with a deep draft coming up. Oh, and don't forget the cap casualties to come as the offseason goes on. Definitely don't want to be that team that tries to buy a new team in one season (see 2011 Eagles). That never works and we already have a very good young nucleus of talent. We just need to fill a couple of gaps with free agency and then have a good draft and player development.

• Free Agency- My thoughts Free Agency- My thoughts

  • From: chiefsfaninva
  • Description:

    Wow alot has transpired in the past couple of days for FA and I am excited for our chances to land some great players that we really need.  I just want to quickly lay out my view of what we need in FA and who I think would be a good fit.  I will look at the draft later, but you will be able to tell there are some positions I believe will be filled in the draft.

    OL- We NEED to land Nicks we have lots of room and he should be our number one.  Kemo from the steelers might be a good pickup in addition for depth.  Tackle will be in the draft.

    Bruiser Running Back- Tolbert was my one and only until the Gmen released Jacobs now there are two options for us, but only one of them a solid long term.  We should make a move for Tolbert on a long term deal and BJ if we can't land Tolbert.

    DT- Solai is a must have for us.  We need a long term answer here and he has at least 6 solid years left.

    TE- Dallas Clark would be a perfect fit, gives us 2-3 more years while we draft TE in the late rounds.

    QB- Manning would be great, but it aint gonna happen, our Oline is too much of a work in progress for a guy with his physical issues.  Orton, Henne or Alex Smith would all be great competition for Cassel and might even afford us an upgrade at the QB position in the case of Alex Smith.  He wants a 5 year deal and I would argue that he would be a better investment than Cassel was, but that is just me looking at last season.  Dabol made Moore look good....

    Really another safetey would be great for depth as well and I don't really think this draft class or FA will have that much to offer us at safety.  Yes there are other needs and probably other players, but with our cap space and the draft this would give us a team that can make a solid run into the playoffs for a few years to come.

• GM day 1:Manning GM day 1:Manning

  • From: caseychief
  • Description:

    This is what I would do as GM. Today I am burning up the phone line talking to Tom Condon (Peyton Manning's agent). "Tom, you know we have the most money to spend and we're willing. What does Peyton want. Jeff Saturday? I'll sign him tommorrow. Reggie Wayne? Done. Better OL? We'll draft a new right tackle 1st round. A great defense? We already have one of the best. Way better than any defense he ever had with the Colts. An easy path to the playoffs every year? We're in one of the weakest divisions in the NFL. We have the best homefield advantage, an excellent running game, and good young wide recievers. We're ready to contend for Super Bowls with your man at the helm. So let's get this thing done."

    To those of you who say Manning is too big of a risk. I'm sorry, but you're wrong. This is the opportunity of a career for any GM. Peyton Manning will be back and he makes a decent to good team an instant contender to win it all. As far as the injury issue, after all this time and rehab, Manning knows he will be able to play again. It's a nerve issue, not a spinal problem like Priest, and before this Manning had never missed a start in his career. The Chiefs can structure the contract so that if Manning couldn't play, they can get out of it (Matt Cassel will still be here with his now club friendly contract). But, if he can play to his old standards, he remains the highest paid player in the NFL, because the Chiefs can afford it and they'd be crazy not to.

    Come on 18, we're ready to contend. Get loud Arrowhead!
