Welcome! This is the first diary that I've really been associated with since Scarface dropped his fifteen or so years ago, so I'm exited to say the least. It feels like I'm eight years old again and this is Christmas, really. I'll be updating after every pick or two, discussing how the NFL Draft's first day is shaping up from the Chiefs' perspective.

12:15 PM EST: Commissioner Goodell kicked this party off not too long ago. Let's see if if the Raiders actually pick JaMarcus Russell or do something crazy here. If they do instead go with C.J. it could throw the entire draft off.

12:23 PM EST: No surprise there. The Oakland Raiders go with JaMarcus Russell and give Matt Millen and the Lions a birthday present. The only question here is does Millen have the balls to select his fourth WR in the last five first rounds? Or will the Lions trade this pick to, say, Atlanta or Tampa Bay? This could get nuts.

The other issue is why would Da Raidahs trade Randy Moss after he just drafted Russell? That makes absoluetly no sense at all.

12:28 PM EST: According to the draft value chart the Falcons would have to swap first-round picks and give up both their second-round picks, as well as their third- and fourth-round picks.

Tampa Bay on the other hand, would only have to swap first-round picks and give up both a second- and a third-round pick.

All of this means that it will be much, much easier for the Bucs to get this deal done.

12:32 PM EST: The Detroit Lions pick Calvin Johnson. Don't hate, Lions fans. Yes, it's another receiver -- but he's also the best player in the draft. He could be a Pro Bowler as soon as next season. Let's wait and see if he stays a Lion. So far, the draft is shaping up just as we predicted.

12:37 PM EST: All signs point towards T Joe Thomas going to the Browns here, but with Peterson and Quinn still on the board, truly anything could go down.

12:42 PM EST: Who's that platinum-haired hoochie sitting next to Brady Quinn?

12:44 PM EST: The Cleveland Browns take Joe Thomas with the third pick. Quinn looked shocked. Berman called the pick "a curveball." Whatever. I knew Thomas was the pick. 100% so far.

12:46 PM EST: I'll be very surprised if Gaines Adams doesn't go to the Bucs here. A trade could happen, but I highly doubt it. Peterson also could go to the Bucs and the Brady Quinn draft slide has officially begun.

12:51 PM EST: Why is Thomas fishing today? What an ####.

12:56 PM EST: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers go with Gaines Adams. We are still 100%.

12:59 PM EST: This is where the draft could get tricky. We have Levi Brown going to the Cards, but they could go with a number of guys -- Landry, Okoye, Peterson, etc...

1:05 PM EST: The Arizona Cardinals reach for Levi Brown. We are on fiya! Still 100% accurate.

1:07 PM EST: Either Rachel Nichols didn't sleep last night or she's extremely committed to her job. She's still hot, though.

1:10 PM EST: Let's see what the Skins do here. Okoye would keep us perfect.

1:16 PM EST: Well, damn. Everybody is saying Landry is going here. We'll see in a minute. And Keyshawn has me ready to switch over to the NFL Network. He is awful.

1:19 PM EST: The Washington Redskins do indeed take S LaRon Landry. Our first whiff. I think the Vikes have to, have to, have to take A.P. here. Personally, I feel he is the second-best player in this draft.

As far as the Chiefs are concerned, it looks like Staley could be gone by the time we pick after Brown went early. No corners or defensive tackles have gone off the board yet, though.

1:29 PM EST: The Minnesota Vikings do #### Adrian Peterson. Six of seven so far. Great pick for the Vikes. A.P. and Chester will form a sick tandem.

1:34 PM EST: I'm thinking Okoye goes to the Dirty Birds here.

1:41 PM EST: Wah waahh wee whoa! Jamal Anderson is the Atlanta Falcons' pick. I'm shocked. The good news is that no defensive tackles have gone 1/4 of the way through the first.

1:46 PM EST: I also cover the Phins here locally, so I have a pretty good read on them. I'm thinking Quinn all the way this late.

1:50 PM EST: The Miami Dolphins select... WR Tedd Ginn? Holy s@#%! More on this in a sec...

1:54 PM EST: Call me crazy, but if Quinn is still there at 14, I think the Chiefs should give the Panthers a ring and see what the cost of moving up would be. I've heard that they want to move back, so it could actually be a possibility.

As for the last pick, I cannot believe the Dolphins. Do Cam Cameron and Randy Mueller actually like their jobs? Ginn was an awful, terrible pick there.

1:56 PM EST: Also, does this indicate that the Trent Green trade is all but done?

2:07 PM EST: The Houston Texans restore order and grab DT Amobi Okoye. This is a great pick for them, as they pair this draft's best DT with last year's best DE -- "Super" (kind of, I guess) Mario Williams.

As for Brady Quinn, he keeps on slippin'. Just how far can he slide? I think the 49ers go DE here, maybe Carriker, but I could be wrong. They won't pick Quinn, but a trade is possible.

DTs have started going off the board, but no CBs have gone yet. Could a Revis or Hall fall to the Chiefs at 23? That would be nice. Even Ross would be hard to pass on.

2:15 PM EST: Man, that Michael Smith is freakin' sharp. He totally predicted this Quinn freefall and he just made an outstanding observation about how much dough the Texans have spent on its D-line.

The Bills will probably go with Willis after the Niners' pick, but they could trade or reach for Marshawn ####.

2:18 PM EST: Steve Young aptly mentioned the Chiefs as a team that should be going after Quinn right now. Why not go get him, man?

2:21 PM EST: The San Fransisco 49ers just totally stole Patrick Willis out from under the Bills. Wow. The Bills actually might trade back. If we are seriously contemplating Quinn, now might be the time to go and get him.

2:28 PM EST: The legendary Bruce Smith announces that the Buffalo Bills reach on Marshawn ####. That's just not a good pick at the 12 spot. Wasn't anyone on the phone? I mean, Quinn is still there. My jaw is wide open. WTF? Go get him, King Carl. I like Brodie Croyle as much as the next guy, but he's not Brady Quinn. We've worked well with the St. Louis brass in the past, maybe we could get something done?

2:37 PM EST: What will the Rams do here? Probably pick a CB. I'm starting to think that maybe Quinn could even fall to us. I guess someone else could leapfrog us, or Jacksonville or Jerry Jones could take this kid, but he could end up there at 23. I think we should trade our fourth, and a future third maybe, to swap first-round picks with Green Bay and take him. This is the potential deal of a lifetime for the Chiefs, and I think that even with other pressing needs we'd be stupid to pass on the chance to draft Quinn this late in round one.

2:42 PM EST: The St. Louis Rams select Adam Carriker. Excellent pick for them, but I can't concentrate on other teams right now. Branch, Hall, Quinn and Revis are all still on the board nearly halfway through the first. This is unbelievable. I am really going to be depressed if we manage to mess this situation up.

2:48 PM EST: J-E-T-S... JETS, JETS, JETS! Kiper is absolutely right, the Jets are trading up to get a CB here, likely Hall. The Mangenius and Co. picked Kellen Clemons last year, so they don't need a QB at all. I'm salivating over Quinn and Revis right now. I've completely forgotten about my boy Justin Harrell at this point.

3:00 PM EST: The New York Jets took Darrelle Revis. The Mangenius really proved his nickname with that shrewd move.

Hall and Quinn are still available. What do we do here? Jacksonville could take Quinn and Cincy would more than likely take Hall. If we want one of those guys we'll have to move up.

The Pittsburgh Steelers just selected Lawrence Timmons. They've always liked him, so that comes as no surprise.

This might be the spot to trade up to if we want either Hall or Quinn, and we'd be crazy not to want those guys this late.

3:06 PM EST: This is an amazing feeling right now. Just a exhilarating rush of adrenaline. What am I talking about? The quickly growing Brady Quinn "what if?" I can see him wearing the Red, White and Gold inside my head right now. It will probably never happen, but it's damn fun to imagine the scenario. At least for me it is...

3:19 PM EST: The Green Bay Packers swipe Justin Harrell. My main man is off the board. Oh well, while I love Harrell, I'm pumped about Branch, Hall and Quinn. Even though I've been tough on Branch in the past, at 23 he is great value.

Now Jacksonville might very well take Quinn, so if we want him this would be the time to go get him. Otherwise, looking at the teams that follow -- Cincinnati, Tennessee, the New York Giants and Denver -- we might be able to get Quinn at our spot. I would be very worried about Jerry Jones taking him, though, so we would probably have to swap with the 'Boys.

3:24 PM EST: The beepin' Broncos just traded up. I'm too mad to even type right now. Probably for Branch, though. Maybe Nelson. I hope.

King Carl is one cool customer if he's just playing roulette with this thing and waiting for the perfect player to slide to 23. I would've traded up by now. In Carl we trust?

3:37 PM EST: The Denver Broncos trade throw away a third- and sixth-round pick to move up four spots and get DE Jarvis Moss. Who was going to take him before their pick? They are crazy. I don't even like him. That was the best-case scenario for us. LMAO at Mike Shanahan!!

I 'm getting winded, man. So pumped right now. Branch, Hall... QUINN

3:40 PM EST: As suspected, the Cincinnati Bengals steal Leon Hall. Great player, great character, great pick.

Now, we need to work out a deal with the Giants. Otherwise Jacksonville or Dallas will surely take Quinn. That is if King Carl even wants him. I'm starting to wonder. However, if any GM has the authority to pick a guy like Quinn, it's Peterson. We'll know in the next hour. I guess he could still slip. If Jacksonville moved back how bad can they really want Quinn?

I'm sorry to tell all the Chiefs fans who voted for him, but I think the Titans go with WR Dwayne Bowe here.

3:46 PM EST: You know, we shouldn't blink at trading a third and a sixth to move up to 20 and get Quinn, especially since we will definitely be getting at least a sixth from the Phins for Green. The Ginn pick really gave away what Miami intends to do.

3:50 PM EST: Holy reacheration, Batman, the Tennessee Titans just picked Michael Griffin ahead of Reggie Nelson with the 19th pick. Did that really just happen!?!?

BRADY QUINN! BRADY QUINN! BRADY QUINN!!

At this point, why the hell not. This is a gift, folks.

4:00 PM EST: The New York Giants select CB Aaron Ross. Nice pick, G-Men.

ESPN just reported that the Chiefs will take Quinn at 23 if he falls, but that teams are trying to trade up and leapfrog us. King Carl must have balls of steel. I would have moved up long ago.

4:07 PM EST: I knew it. I knew it. The Jacksonville Jaguars traded back knowing they would still get a safety, and they take the best one available -- Reggie Nelson.

This is so nerve wracking, man. My phone is just blowing up. I can't talk right now, people! Jerry Jones and King Carl scare the hell out of me. What would be worse? The 'Boys taking Quinn right in front of us? Or King Carl passing him up?

4:24 PM EST: The Cleveland Browns completely screw us and trade up to get Brady Quinn. Does this define what it's like to be a Chiefs fan or what? I am speechless. Well, we're on the clock. I'm just devastated. It's not even that I love Quinn that much, I just think he's a can't-miss prospect at 23.

Once again, King Carl's stubbornness hurts us. There. I said it.

Here is what I am really mad about -- Dallas just received a 2007 second and 2008 first for doing nothing. We were so close to receiving that very same compensation. Damn. And we could've gone up to 17 for a third and a sixth. Looks like King Carl didn't even want him. Too bad.

I'm not looking forward to becoming even more disappointed here in the next seven minutes or so.

4:42 PM EST: The Kansas City Chiefs finally, finally, finally pick a first-round WR, and a good one, in Dwayne Bowe. I feel pretty good, really. I think we may have even acted like we wanted Quinn so that Bowe would slip to us. This might even be a ringing endorsement for Brodie from Carl, Herm and Co. I know that I talked up both Branch and Jarrett, but when we got to 23 they, along with Staley and Houston, really scared me. Meachem scared me the most. I'm not upset whatsoever about this pick. The offense will have no excuses next year with Bowe in the fold. I have big-time expectations for this kid, no matter who is throwing the football to him. Much, much more coming on Bowe later. We will even be doing a radio broadcast later on breaking down all the Chiefs day-one picks.

4:45 PM EST: It seems like Chiefs fans are upset. Don't be. Dwayne Bowe is a player with tremendous physical attributes. He's big, strong and fast. One of the best things about him is that he is an outstanding blocker. Seriously, he could end up being a bigger, speedier Hines Ward eventually. Give this pick a chance. It is much less risky than picking Branch, Houston, Meachem or Staley, and corners, DTs and O-lineman will be there in the next two rounds. For now, let's just chill out and let this pick sink in. Two words -- Tamba Hali. Two more words -- have faith.
