The possibilities for the Chiefs will again almost be endless when the draft rolls around in April. They will be able to fortify their offensive line by picking Russell Okung, give Matt Cassel a top wide receiver by selecting Dez Bryant or add a playmaker to the back of their defense by choosing Eric Berry.
The 3-12 Chiefs look as if they will pick third in next year's NFL draft. They can't get the top pick because there's no way for them to catch the 1-14 Rams, but they could fall below three if they beat the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
The Rams need a quarterback and may choose one with the first pick. Detroit probably will pick next, and the defense-starved Lions can use Nebraska's Ndamukong Suh, called by some scouts the best defensive-tackle prospect to come along in 20 years.
If the Chiefs lose to Denver, the draft then falls to the Chiefs. They could go in any of several directions.
"He can play left tackle," an NFL scout said of Okung. "He might be better at right tackle but I think he could play left. The guy from Oklahoma, Trent Williams, might be a better athlete. He might be a better natural left tackle."
The Chiefs may not have a true No. 1 wide receiver. In any case, they've been searching for skilled playmakers to help quarterback Matt Cassel.
Oklahoma State's Bryant would solve the problem. He's big and more skilled than any wide receiver the Chiefs have had in years.
It might be difficult for the Chiefs or any team to select Bryant so high. After a big 2008 season, Bryant was suspended by the NCAA after three games this season.
Berry has been compared to Pittsburgh's Troy Polamalu and Baltimore's Ed Reed.
"He's that same kind of caliber," said the NFL scout, comparing Berry to Polamalu and Reed. "He's a special player. He's a playmaker. You can count on him for that. If you need a center fielder back there, he would be a good investment."
