The Chiefs are quietly building something...well mediocre I guess. They've added a good to potentially great QB in Matt Cassel, have a solid #2 RB in Jamaal Charles, one of the best young wideouts in Dwayne Bowe, and players like Tony Gonzalez, Derrick Johnson, and a bevy of talent from last years draft.
Still, the Chiefs are not with out their holes (O-Line, D-Line, another WR, and the safety spots) and they could use some depth at other positions (RB, TE, LB).
With the 3rd overall pick, the Chiefs could go in a few directions. They could draft a LT like Jason Smith if he falls or Eugene Monroe, they could surprise everyone and pick the uber-talented Michael Crabtree to play alongside Dwayne Bowe, or they could pick the best overall defensive player in Aaron Curry. Personally, I would draft Crabtree to give Cassel two legit targets he can throw to for many years to come, but in the end I think the pick will be Curry and there is no shame in that. He and fellow OLB Derrick Johnson will form one of the best OLB tandems in the NFL from the get-go.
The Chiefs dont have a 2nd round pick due to the trade with NE for QB Matt Cassel, who should play a fair amount better than any 2nd rounder they could have picked anyway, so instead they will have to make due with picks 3/67, 4/102, 5/139, 6/175, 7/212 and 7/256. They will be looking to heavily upgrade their offensive line and find a defensive lineman who can really get to the quarterback with these picks, and I also think they will try to find a RB who can split time with Jamaal Charles so they can kick malcontent Larry Johnson out of town. A player like Iowa's Shonne Green comes to mind in Round 3...
THE PICK: Aaron Curry-OLB, Wake Forest
