What's their magic number?

2-0! I'm sure most "experts" thought there was going to be a team starting 2-0 when they saw the Tigers opened their season with the Royals, but I doubt many of them thought it would be the guys in the blue and gray uni's. For those who have watched parts of their two games this week, you can tell there's something different about this team. They look a year older, a year wiser, and ready to bust through and make people notice. I'm sure if the Royals keep winning early on, they'll be compared to 2003, but unless I'm mistaken, only two players are still in KC fromt hat 2003 season, Jimmy Gobble and David DeJesus. Other than that, everyone in a Royals uniform has been the butt of bad jokes for a few years. Also, unlike 2003, this team is built for a few years, while the 2003 squad was thrown together, and some how exceeded expectations. So the Royals will be over .500 heading into their second series of the season, and hopefully can come back to KC with a winning record for the home fans.

On to other things, and we'll stay inside of the Truman Sports Complex. I'm sure people have seen all sorts of mock drafts from the Worldwide leader, on down to the guy in your local paper. I could honestly care less who gets taken first, and actually think this is the year for Miami to trade down to around 6 or 7 with the lack of high quality players available. However, I have seen the "experts" put some interesting choices in the Chiefs spot. I've seen QB's, D-Lineman, and even a CB, however all of those would be a waste. I could maybe see the need for a CB, but those guys are just as much a dime a dozen as running backs. I can't figure out why, all of a sudden, people have forgotten just how bad their O-line was in 2007. They may not get Jake Long, but it's imparative for KC to draft Ryan Clady from Boise St. Dude's 6'6" weighs near 320, and he's coming out after his Junior season, so there may be some more growing out of the kid. Croyle may have slipped in some fans' minds, but even Payton Manning sucked when he had absolutely no offense or protection to help him out. Go with the steady O-lineman. They don't have egos, will play hurt, and can be a cornerstone for a franchise on offense.
