The Chiefs did an
excellent job sticking to
their guns (or, more
appropriately, their
arrows), identifying their
needs and addressing them
without hesitation. A more
ferocious pass-rush was
needed, and Tamba Hali,
the All-American who led
the Big Ten in sacks in
2005, was obtained in
round one. Hybrid SS/OLB
Bernard Pollard was
an excellent round two
choice. A punishing hitter
with good closing speed,
Pollard could play OLB or
stay at Safety and
eventually take over for
the aging Sammy Knight.
With QB Trent Green
another year older,
acquiring a backup and
potential replacement was
critical, which is why the
choice to nab Brodie
Croyle in round three
was an easy one. Croyle is
a little on the delicate
side, lacking ideal
size/bulk, but his
stature, skill-set and arm
strength has drawn
comparisons to Rams QB
Marc Bulger, who himself
was a later round pick.
Offensive Lineman Tre'
Stallings, someone we
pinned the "sleeper" label
on, was an excellent value
pick in round six. He
spent most of his college
career protecting the
blindside of former Ole'
Miss teammate QB Eli
Manning. WR Jeff Webb
was another solid value
pick in round six, and the
Chiefs desperately need to
improve their WR corps. |
