Jared Allen Deal Finally Finalized

[Walter]

I didn't factor it into my updated mock draft for today because it has not been finalized. Nothing would suck more than to update and then see this trade not go through because of some 11th-hour mishap (i.e. what happened with both Bengals DT trades).

Once it's finalized on Wednesday, I'll update my mock again for Thursday.

About KC drafting a DE No. 5... Still deciding between Gholston and Sedrick Ellis. It seems to make more sense to get a DT at five and then a DE (Phillip Merling) at 17.
They only have three DTs on their roster (Ron Edwards, Alfonso Boone and Tank Tyler) and only two DEs (Tamba Hali and Turk McBride).

Guess Carl Peterson didn't get the memo that addressing the defensive line was important.

Im fuzzy on the details but didnt he sign with Minn a 5 year 74 mill deal?

The Chiefs weren't going to be competitive next year, even with Jared Allen. Now they might challenge for the magical 0-16 mark. The Kansas Jayhawks and Missouri Tigers could give the Chiefs a tight game. At last check we were already 15-point underdogs to a likely angry New England squad in week 1.

Let's hope they don't screw up all those draft picks.

KC talk radio seems convinced KC will draft Matt Ryan and then go OT at 17

I'd be perfectly happy if that happened

[GridIron NUt]

I would be thrilled

Walter I remember you posted a good e-mail that you got about a Peterson type draft, what do you reckon now with these extra picks?

[Craig Smith]

I agree with Walter that its bedst for them, to stick with Ellis at 5 and target Merling at 17. But just becuase i think thats whats best doesn't mean its going to happen.

[Walter]

Good luck with finding an OT at No. 17 because they'll all be gone by No. 14.

I don't see them drafting Matt Ryan. If they don't go DE at No. 17, Brian "Bomb" would be an option.

[bwest36]

Ellis at 5 would make sense, quick question tho if Chris long is there would they pass on him?

[Walter]

That is the question, Bwest. Tough call.

This sucks, what are the texans going to to at 18 with all of the top 3 running backs and LTs gone

Mike Jenkins

[huskers3333]

The thing is though, i dont know if jenkins is a smart deal for the long term. We have Dunta, a top 5 CB in the Nfl (maybe a little biased, but still awesome), and Fred Bennet, who is above average. We have no super bowl shot this year, so i don't know if he will help us the most in the long run. But i suppose that he is a very good player, and that we don't have any other good options.

I don't think Johnathan Stewart will be gone.
