With the 3rd Pick in the 2009 Stampede Blue Community Mock Draft, Kansas City selects...

by Brad Wells on Mar 25, 2009 2:52 PM EDT in Community Mock Draft

Jason Smith, OT, Baylor

3. Kansas City Chiefs

Drafter: Colteyes

Reasons for drafting: "While there are many needs for the Chiefs, the two that stick out most are getting to the quarterback and protecting the quarterback. So the good thing is Kansas City has the option of taking the best player available and plugging them in to better their team. With Aaron Curry already being taken by Detroit, and Chiefs fans thinking Jason Smith would be off the board before their pick. The Chiefs will have no choice but to take Smith to help give their brand new asset, Matt Cassell, some protection. Crabtree could also be another option here opposite of Dwayne Bowe, but I think protecting the quarterback is far more important. A pass rusher like Orakpo or Brown could be an option, but this may be a bit high for them. Also taking into account Scott Pioli loves to build his teams from the inside out, so the choice for the Kansas City Chiefs is Jason Smith."

There you go

Keep that poll system. Only took 3 tries.

Jim Sorgi runs a 4.6 40. That's all I've got to say about that.

Oh come on

I can’t be the only one that put I think they could go in a different direction. I mean Orakpo is just sitting there chilling. They take Orakpo then Chris Baker or Taylor along with Vrabel and Dorsey as an end? Boom, there’s your core for a 3-4. Making their defense better than swiss cheese would as much or more to stop the pass rush than Smith would by himself. Doesn’t matter if KC scores 50 points if the other team scores 70 and they’re playing from behind the entire game.

I agree with the pick, I’m just saying that’s why I could see them going in another direction. Maybe this’ll convince someone to click that box so I don’t look lame. Come on, you know you want to. Go on, click it.

You know

Even though I made the pick I absolutely picked they could go in a different direction because I considered Orakpo but I don’t think he’s worthy of #3. Also with Smith a potential #1 how can you pass that up when it’s also a need?

It's not that I'm lazy, Bob, it's just that I don't care
