Vermeil assures Holmes draft pick is not replacement
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Even before they drafted Penn State's Larry Johnson in the first round, the Kansas City Chiefs assured Priest Holmes he was still their starting running back.
Holmes, the NFLs offensive player of the year in 2002, is still recovering from a season-ending hip injury that led to arthroscopic surgery last month.
"I talked to Priest this morning because I thought this could happen," said Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil. "I didn't want Priest to hear it from ESPN. I wanted him to hear it from me."
A late-bloomer, Johnson rushed for 2,087 yards in his first season as a starter. He averaged
7. 7 yards per carry for the Nittany Lions and led the nation in all-purpose yardage with 2,655 yards.
The Chiefs wound up with Johnson after swapping first-round picks with Pittsburgh. They gave the Steelers their first pick in the first round, No. 16 overall, for the 27th overall choice in round one. They also picked up a third- and sixth-round choice from the Steelers.
In the second round, Kansas City bypassed two better-known defensive players — Nebraska rush end Chris Kelsay and Kansas State linebacker Terry Pierce — to take South Florida linebacker Kawika Mitchell with the 47th pick overall.
The 6-foot, 253-pound
Mitchell set a school record with 367 career tackles despite separating his
shoulder in a car accident before his senior season.
His best performance last season came against South Florida's toughest opponent when he recorded 12 tackles — including two sacks — two assists and a forced fumble against Oklahoma.
"That was a big-time game for me, and I took advantage of it," said Mitchell, who transferred to South Florida — then an NCAA Division I-AA school — after redshirting his freshman season at Georgia. "Definitely the level of
competition helped me out there — but I wouldn't say that game made me."
The Chiefs used their third-round pick from the Steelers — the 92nd overall — to take Tennessee cornerback Julian Battle.
At 6-2, 205 pounds. Battle has strong safety size. He started at that position for much of his two years at Tennessee after playing as a corner and wide receiver at Los Angeles Valley College, a two-year school.
He moved to corner in the sixth game of his senior season and finished with 72 tackles fourth on the team — and one interception.
The Chiefs have insisted that Holmes will be back to full speed by June. He missed the last two
"I don't want him to feel like I'm coming in to replace him because it's something that even I couldn't deal with."

("Johnson) will be a great security blanket," Vermeil said.
games of the 2002 season after he was injured at Denver, but still wound up rushing for a teamrecord 1,615 yards.
Johnson said he did not want Holmes to think he was coming after his job.
"I want to first become a friend of Priest Holmes, then to have
him comfortable with me and knowing the circumstances that I'm there, to learn from him, and know that I want to come in there and be a type of a backup or something like that," Johnson said.
"I don't want him to feel like I'm coming in to replace him because it's something that even I couldn't deal with."
Ironically, Holmes lost his job in Baltimore under similar circumstances. He rushed for 1.098 yards in 1998, hurt his knee in 1999 and then the Ravens drafted running back Jamal Lewis in the first round in 2000.
Holmes immediately lost his job, and came to the Chiefs as a free agent in 2001.
