Alright, now that the draft is done and over, I want to try and implement a permanent fixture to the site, where everyone can come to find out the latest news on the Chiefs and around the NFL. I’ve done a few of these in the past, but I haven’t really had the time (mock drafts take forever to make) to continuously update this everyday like I should so I’ve waited until now to really get it going.

At any rate, I hope you enjoy our newest feature on the site, and as always, thanks for your support of KC Chiefs Fanatic!

• Chris at Arrowhead Pride wrote up a really nice piece on the Chiefs newly drafted RB Jamaal Charles yesterday. He thinks the Chiefs made the right move in getting Charles instead of reaching for a lesser player, and I completely agree. I’ll have a piece of my own up on Charles a little bit later.

• The guys over at Arrowhead Addict are taking a bit of a break this week, and are giving the fans a shot at posting their thoughts. (Note to self, try this out sometime!) Their long-time reader, Jay, takes the first crack at it today with his post on why the 2008 Chiefs could beat up the 2007 Chiefs.

• Jonathan Rand from KCChiefs.com asks the question we’ve all been wondering about ourselves: “Why not a quarterback?“

• Speaking of quarterbacks, Chiefs QB Coach Dick Curl (stop laughing!!!) is taking a lot of flak from unnamed individuals on the Chiefs staff for pushing so hard against drafting a quarterback in last weekend’s draft. Evidently he’s sold on what 2nd year man Tyler Thigpen brings to the table. I’m not so sure, but we’ll have to wait and see how this all plays out for the Chiefs this fall before passing judgment.

• Man the QB stories just keep on coming! The Chiefs have brought in former Florida Gator standout QB Chris Leak to try-out during their mini-camp this weekend. Leak didn’t cut it in the NFL last season after signing a UDFA deal with the Bears, so he decided to give it a go with the forthcoming All-American Football League. The only problem is that the league doesn’t have enough cash to get started so they’re postponing their launch until next year. Hmmm… Where have I heard that story before?

• Why not one more? I’m sad to report that Broncos QB Jay Cutler has been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. While I can’t say that I’ll ever cheer him on when he’s on the field for Denver, I will wish him the best with his disease and I hope he’s able to manage it effectively. Cutler has been a pretty stand up guy for the Broncos since they drafted him, much more so than his counterpart in San Diego I think.

 
That’s all I’ve got for now, but make sure to drop back in later to check out my thoughts on RB Jamaal Charles and hopefully the rest of the Chiefs 3rd round picks as well. Until then, I’m off to grab some much needed coffee and food for breakfast. Enjoy!
