No word from Wichita SunSteeler so I'm jumping in and making the Kansas City Chiefs selection at No. 21. Next up: the Indianapolis Colts, represented by barnerburner. -Michael B. -

**************

The Chiefs could sure use a bigtime playmaker at wide receiver, but I don't think there's a talent out there worthy of such a high pick in this year's crop of WRs. Jonathan Baldwin of Pitt is one possibility, but I think that's a bit of a stretch for the Chiefs who also have needs in other departments.

I'm turning my attention to the other side of the ball -- the defense -- where KC could use more speed and talent in their linebacker corps. The sexy pick at the moment would be Martez Wilson, who has become somewhat of a household name as a result of his incredible Combine performance. Even though I think he has a bit too much 'bust' potential for my liking, he might be hard to pass up here at 21. He and Eric Berry would certainly give the Chiefs a great combination of speed and ball hawking skills over the middle of the field.

Wow no Phil Taylor huh?

I would love them to make this pick, means we could get Taylor for ourselves

A long way from Pittsburgh PA, in fact, 8653.2 miles to be precise. My blood still bleeds black and gold like the rest of Steeler Nation, proud fan since 2002.

Taylor seems like the obvious choice, I would be stunned if he was there and KC passed.

I am a regular poster on arrowhead pride

I beleive that while Martez Wilson is a great linebacker Phil Taylor would be the pick. Derrick Johnson just got a huge payday and Jovan Belcher is playing alright right now, but could be upgraded. The Chiefs have nobody under contract at NT and need a true one at that and I think Taylor would get the nod.

Float like a butterfly, and sting like a bee!

1. Phil Taylor NT Baylor
2. Brooks Reed OLB Arizona
3. Tandon Doss WR Indiana
4. Jake Kirkpatrick C TCU
5. Cecil Shorts WR Mount Union
5. Mario Harvey ILB Marshall
6. Alex Green RB Hawaii
7. Nathan Enderle QB Idaho
