Are you only saying he's physically similar to Peppers because they went to the same school?

Peppers: 6'7" 287 lbs 4.74 40, 22 reps
Coples: 6'6" 284 lbs 4.78 40, 25 reps

Both possess elite athleticism and size. Peppers could potentially mentor Coples in his play style and CLEARLY Coples would fit the Bears scheme.

Hell of a mock. Not sure I'm sold on Brockers at 19, but the next four selections all get the "thumbs up".

I think Brockers makes a lot of sense and has the highest ceiling. I'm just too impatient as a fan to like that pick. I want a day 1 starter

Two weeks out and I feel like doing a new mock in which no trade assumptions are made:

11) Michael Brockers, 5-tech, LSU
44) Andre Branch, OLB, Clemson
74) George Iloka, S, Boise State
107) Chase Minnifield, CB, Virginia
146) David Molk, C, Michigan
182) Russell Wilson, QB, Wisconsin
218) Marc Tyler, RB, USC
238) Elvis Akpla, WR, Montana State


I have adjusted player values based on more recent research. You will notice that I I had to push Brockers and Branch up in my mock to reflect my more recent research. I like them as players irrespective of where they are projected to be drafted. Minnifield has been sliding down draft boards due to his inability to work out. He could be a steal in the fourth. Marc Tyler is someone who obviously has character/work ethic question marks. This is the Chiefs' character project for the year.

Call me crazy, but I would love to see the Chiefs make a move for an extra fifth round pick in this scenario and take BJ Coleman. Then cut Cassel and Quinn and make Stanzi, Wilson and Coleman all openly compete for the job. Maybe we could shake out a winner.

One week out and a new scenario:
Chiefs trade 11 and 107 to the Bengals for 17 and 53. Bengals presumably want Reiff before Seattle pounces.

17) Michael Brockers, DE, LSU
44) Andre Branch, OLB, Clemson
53) Mike Adams, OT, Ohio State
74) David Wilson, RB, Virginia Tech
146) David Molk, C, Michigan
182) BJ Coleman, QB, UT-Chatt
218) Chris Greenwood, CB, Albion (what the hell, I know really nothing about the kid.)
238) Elvis Akpla, WR, Montana State
