We are six hours from when the Kansas City Chiefs are officially On The Clock. Here are a few rumors from around the internet to keep you going throughout the day.

NFL.com has a few reports that Eric Fisher has emerged as the leader to be selected first overall, here is a link to one.

Sam Wyche of NFL Network is stationed at the Chiefs facility and says that Kansas City is still fielding calls for the first pick as well as Branden Albert. This is the reason why no announcements of which player they have decided on has been released. They are still waiting, up until the time they pick, to receive every possible offer. If a team gets desperate, the Chiefs could land a large haul in return for either the top pick or Branden Albert.

Ed Werder from ESPN discussed Branden Albert’s situation with John Dorsey. Here is a snippet of what Dorsey had to say: “The guy is a good football player,” Dorsey told ESPN. “I could see him starting. He is a starter. I see that. I’m not giving away good football players. This organization can’t afford to do that.” Here is the rest of the article.

The Chiefs are in a position of power with a talented football player in Branden Albert and the #1 pick, each at their disposal. If Albert is traded, they can select Fisher/Joeckel, or take the BPA and see what you have in Stephenson. They can trade the top pick and gain multiple early round picks in 2013 and2014. The option to keep them both is on the table as is moving the 2 assets. Many different ways tonight could go and nobody really knows yet.
