    I’m ok with the pick, but it’s hard to get too excited since our defense is very poor even though our last two first round picks were on the defensive side of the ball.

    This is what it is about, attaining the best player in the draft with a huge area of need……love it….next up a Bama DT tackle or Golden?

    I would go for Cody…but I think the Chargers will get their hands on him first

    Is berry talented enough to play him at corner and would it make sense to try him there?


  • April 22, 2010  - Enrique says:

    Ryan Matthews to the Chargers. That greatly increases the chances of seeing Cody as a Chief…

    Unless they like Tate better, of course.

    Berry’s a great selection. They’ll play him at safety, we have two good young corners, but nothing but question marks at safety. Berry will nail the spot down for 10 years.

    Berry meets alot of needs, not the least of which, for the fans. Not a “safe” pick like last year. Now we need to look at OL (center?), NT, WR, and LB, in no particular order.

    With Berry , The new coaching , the whole team is going to ——— name one player that would NOT be happy .
    I would love to hear Matt & Charles on all this !!

    And now we gotta deal with Tebow twice a year, if he turns out to be good. Berry is perfect for what the Broncos 1st 2 picks are.

    Apparently Berry and Flowers have been training together for awhile, already building a great defense in the back field!

    Cody will be available as our NT of the future. Mr. Pioli please select Mr. Cody as our 2a pick come manana.
    P.S. Good surprising job on Mr. Berry.
    Go Chiefs.

    Well Oakland took McClain I was kinda hoping that they would go with a LB for the first pick, but its still a decent pick. I just hope they can fix the run defense in this draft.

    Hard to see Cody fitting in here; he might never get off Haley’s fat farm! Stranger things have happened, though….
    In any case, they might want to order some new furniture for the War Room, because you know that if Golden Tate is still on the board for our first pick in the 2nd, Weis will be standing on the table for him… I just hope nobody gets hurt….

    Tate, Sergio Kindle, Mt. Cody, or an OT I think we are sitting pretty good right now….I’d be happy with any of them, in terms of value I’d go with Sergio…so that’s my pic
