KC Warpaint 3,234 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The NFL has issued the 2015 NFL draft first-round selection order for the 20 non-playoff teams, and it turns out the Kansas City Chiefs will be choosing 18th instead of 17th.The Chiefs and San Diego Chargers finished tied with 9-7 records, and they also tied in opponent strength of schedule, the first tiebreaker in determining the order in the draft. The NFL then applied the divisional tiebreaker to settle this one. The Chiefs swept the two-game season series from the Chargers, so San Diego will pick 17th and the Chiefs 18th.

DieHard 2,061 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 April 30th - May 2nd This will be one of the more meaningfully drafts since the Allen trade. I am not crazy about the SD tie breaker going them, I thought they had a better division record than us. Oh well. I was mad when they picked Igor Olshamwow, but he didn't turn out to be a big loss.

Other than LT's Dorsey is a mid round O-lineman guy. I'm not a Big draftnick but with the 18th pick I'd say its just BPA. I doubt we'll be blown over by the pick regardless. I'm more interested in the other picks and what they will do with those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 BPA is fine with me as long as it's not another OLB. The Chiefs have so many areas of need; WR, OG, CB, ILB, etc., that they won't have to reach to fill a need this year. It all depends on who they resign and what they can pick up in FA.

gochiefsgo 380 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 If the Chiefs don't draft a wr in the first round of the draft I think a lot of fans will blow a gasket. How can you not? BPA be damned! For the love of God we just watched a season without a td by a receiver and it's like the first time in 60 years. I will be gobsmacked if they don't no matter who is signed in FA.

Last time we took a WR in round one it did not turn out so well, but i have faith that this FO will do all the research necessary to avoid drafting Jonathan Baldwin part 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One, if not the biggest, bust in recent Chiefs history. I think he's out of football at this point. like you said you have to have more faith in Chiefs front office now. Recent picks like Kelce, Davis And DAT give me hope. Fisher uh, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I joked to my friends that our first three picks will be defensive lineman, tight end, and running back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer 8,686 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 2 of the three might not be bad choices Poe needs help & Fansano altho solid the argument could be made that he's over priced. If Smith can not bring himself to stretch the field and continues to be Checkdown Charlie we might need more TE's instead of Wr's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what if all of the receivers with a first round grade are gone when we pick? Reach anyway just to please the fans? Dorsey will stick to his board no matter what. As he should. If he can trade up a few spots to advance his board, that is great, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Smith doesn't respond to having a better oline and WRs, these picks will be good for the next guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So who are the Chiefs good at drafting in round one? Or is it time to throw all those bad picks out the door and try again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHard 2,061 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 We were 6th worse in sacks given up and very little running room. I would not throw the remote if we went Oline in R1. I would love to have a stud WR in R1, but Jenkins is a first round WR. Bowe is a first round WR. I would not go after those guys. I mean, Bowe has his strong points, but we need speed and size. Not just size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eraser 722 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 The three biggest needs are OL, WR, and ILB. Of those, OL is the most critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 The three biggest needs are OL, WR, and ILB. Of those, OL is the most critical. The biggest OL need is at guard and there's no one at that position worth a first this year. An upgrade at OT wouldn't hurt, and with the depth at WR, I think the Chiefs could take a tackle with the jury still out of Fisher, and grab a WR in the second or third. When will we know the exact number of picks the Chiefs will have in each round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eraser Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I agree no guard will be taken in the first. Also, there is no wide receiver in the first ( *where the Chiefs will picking) that fits what the Chiefs need. They do not need another Bowe in this offense. The guy I like in the first is T/G La'el Collins. He is a perfect fit. He can play LT , RT or G. He is built square, and thick like a G, but has quick feet with outstanding coordination to be a LT. He is tough enough to be a R T. I don't care where mocks place him, Collins is my #1 pick for the Chiefs. In either the second orr third round Laken Tomlinson will be taken. Most have A J Cann ahead of Tomlinson and some have the Chiefs taking Cann in the second round. I like Tomlinson better. Would you take a LT and a G back to back on the first day of the draft, especially when the Chiefs have a #1 pick already at LT? You bet I would. If Fisher floundered, move Collins to LT. If Fisher gets it goung, you have a terrific RT. In the worst case scenario, you have a really good G. The second pick; Tomlinson, would that be necessary given that there are so many other needs? Perhaps, but the Chiefs lost at least 3 games because of their OL. There is no other position as important than LG on the team. Perhaps Allen will return healthy, and make the Chiefs stronger. They still need to get better on their line. Get that line fixed or face the loss if a quarterback and running back, then where would the Chiefs be? Rebuilding. No! There is nothing more imperative.

Are you sure about that? The draft is appearantly loaded at WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
