The Chiefs own 10 picks in the 2008 draft, and they'll be looking to fill a lot of needs, especially along the offensive line and at cornerback. "Everybody knows we're focusing on the offensive line and the cornerback situations," Chuck Cook, the Chiefs director of college scouting, tells the Kansas City Star. "But we'd like to get another power wide receiver, a guy who can go get it to help (Dwayne) Bowe out. We'd like to get another running back because you always need another one. We'd like to get another young linebacker. And we'd like to get a blocking tight end to replace (Jason) Dunn."
Our View
The Chiefs day begins with the fifth overall pick, and the ideal scenario would be to see Michigan left tackle Jake Long fall into their laps. They may need to trade up a spot or two to secure the stud bookend, though.
As I've said before, I'd like the Chiefs to draft Long, but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't work out. It seems all too simple and obvious and you can never remove Carl Peterson's ego from the equation (too clever by half). I'm also not going to be surprised if the Chiefs end up with one or more of the Jayhawks available, taken higher than they deserve. Again, it just seems like a Chiefs-Peterson kind of move.

They should take the QB Ryan if he falls if Long is off the board. You rarely get the chance to take the best QB in the draft and it has been a long time since the Chiefs had a QB to build around. If you can't tell I am not sold on Croyle.
