Dreams.....?

Last night I had a dream that the Chiefs traded up to the #1 pick and drafted Ndamukong Suh from Nebraska. Even in my dream I was amazed that the Chiefs actually would do something like that. But, when I awoke I realized there were still 51 days until the NFL Draft and the Chiefs have not drafted yet another DT with their top 5 pick. Anyway, here are a few scenarios of what I think the Chiefs should do in the upcoming draft:

Scenario 1)
Draft an OT, then draft a S and a WR in the 2nd round.
Why do this?
This should be pretty obvious, even for the Carl Peterson's of the world. The Chiefs need an upgrade on the OLine, at Saftey (Go back to the Special Teams side of the Practice, Jon McGraw) and they need another WR to go with Bowe and possibly Chambers if they resign him.

Scenario 2)
Draft Eric Berry, then OL and WR in the 2nd round.
Why do this?
While some draft experts think Eric Berry is the #2 Saftey in the draft behind Eric Thomas of Texas, I disagree. I have no facts to support this other than watching a few games each played in. OT is deep in this years draft so if we waited until one of our two 2nd round picks to get one, that player could start instantly. Why we need a WR? See scenario 1.

Scenario 3)
Draft Dez Bryant, then go OT and S in the 2nd round.
Why do this?
This one will probably never happen due to the fact that only 4 players will be off the board by the time we pick, but could if someone in the top 4 decides to change up and go OT and freak all the analysts out. Plus, I won't be satisfied with the #2 OT on the board with the 5th pick. So here's the top 4 that will only happen on this blog: Rams go with Bradford, then the Lions take McCoy over Suh and TB going with Suh. Then there's the Washington Redskins. Do they go QB and take Clausen? Do they go Saftey? So here's the hitch in this mock of mine: WASH takes an OT because we all know how much Shanahan likes to run the ball. That'll give Jason Campbell another year to delve deeper into mediocrity! So, the Chiefs then have a choice. Do they spend the money on the #2 OT? Do they go with a Saftey and spend money and a very high draft pick on that position? Or do they go with Dez?

Scenario 4)
Draft Joe Haden, then go OL and WR in the 2nd, taking a S in the 3rd.
Why do this?
Last season, Brandon Carr was burned more times than an Albino man naked in the desert. Drafting Haden would move Carr to the nickelback position, solidifying our corner situation for quite a few years. I think Carr would be a great NB, definitely an upgrade over Leggett, who fell down a few pegs after the previous year.

And that's it. I'm excited for the draft, but I'm not excited about the new stupid format. Whenever someone says, "Day Two Draft Pick" I keep forgetting that that isn't a bad thing anymore, since "Day Two" is now the 2nd and 3rd round. Go back to the Weekend Draft, NFL. I like spending my entire Sunday watching guys from Furman and Washburn get drafted in the 7th round.
