Who do Chiefs pick at 18? Who do you pick at 18?
 

Ok, folks, we're just under a month to go before the draft, and I thought it might be interesting to see who some of the CP Heavyweights think the Chiefs will draft at #18. For extra credit, please note who you'd select at #18.

Of course, we don't know who might be available at that slot, but I think most probably have a decent idea of who might be available. Anyway, this is your chance to go "on record" as per the 2015 draft.

Note that I stuck this in The Lounge as there doesn't seem to be too much other football stuff going right now. I would ask the mods to please move it if/as needed.

I'll start:

Chiefs: DT Malcom Brown
Meatloaf: WR Jaelen Strong

RG

Chiefs - Fatty

MTG - BPA

The approach that John Dorsey claims to take in the draft, the best player available, according to his criteria, will almost certainly be Alvin Dupree.

I think Dupree will be gone. At least from what I've been saying

I'll say
Chiefs: Eric Kendricks
Me: Marcus Peters

So, Milk, who would you select?

Chuefs - fatty bust

Reerun - impact player

Best QB available.

Jalen Collins

Jessica Simpson at 18.

Trae Waynes

Jake Fisher, Trae Waynes, or Maxx Williams

Jack Shit III

I agree with both of those milk. Would you be happy with Byron Jones? I know he's not getting a lot of hype as a 1st rounder, but I believe he's viewed much differently in NFL circles.

Sign me up.

Chiefs: Landon Collins
Me: Ereck Flowers

DGB.

Stack that shit.

Fatty incoming: T - 29 days.

Tom Brady.

Otherwise, just fold up camp.

I don't comment on players who I have never seen play.

Heh, I was just thinking I would start this same thread but just 1 or 2 days before draft day.

That being said , I think the Chiefs draft a speed WR since they cut AJ and Avery . Is Devin White the guy ?

Meatlofed in a hotdog stand. We needs a WR still....

Best player available(no QB)

Devin Smith is the deep ball specialist.

He could step right into the Avery role. Run deep or curl back to the QB.
If Albert Wilson is a guy they have confidence in he could fill that role OK and then you could cast for the possible lunker. Dorial Green-Beckham.
That could be the man WR. Hear a lot of top 10 prospect or even a few saying top 5 if he didn't get himself booted off teams.

To a man this class is lower first, top of second at best... Winston showed up at his pro day looking flabby and throwing erratically, Mariotta is a huge project, and all the rest have more warts than Tyler Wilson.

But lets grab one just to say we did amirite?!

Lets take a receiver and then you shut up, how bout that?

Best 'center' available

Thanks, Yep Devin Smith .

WTF is a deep ball specialist?


Is he a guy that will take it balls deep? Is the what a deep ball specialist is?

He's a guy that averaged like 28 yards per catch.

Jessica Simpson at age 18...

I won't be around for the draft this year, but for the sake of the board I hope Mariotta is there when the Chiefs pick. No matter what happens, the next hour will be the best sixty minutes in ChiefsPlanet history.

FYP

The Chiefs will probably select C Cameron Erving, Florida State.

At this point, that's the pick I most support. Though there are several good options.

He makes a lot of sense for them.

If Mariota is there at 18 you wouldn't take him?

You can continue to post this every single day but it still doesn't make it true.

No to Erving.

The Chiefs aren't going to find a player who puts the current roster over the top and into contention.

Might as well address a weak spot and build the roster for a future QB.

I like Kevin Johnson a whole lot. I'm on the CB train. Top 2 QB's will be long gone and WR can be had in round 2.

No he doesn't.

He's not playing center.

He's 6'5", 315 lb. with 34 1/8" arms, enormous hands and a good kickslide. He's built long with good athleticism. His strength is in his punch and redirect.

He was first team All-American as a junior at left tackle. He was third team All-Conference at center his senior year.

No one is playing Cam Erving at center.

With Eric Fisher, Jeff Allen, Don Stephenson and Derrek Sherrod on roster, this team does not need another tackle who is going to be a project, which Erving will be. I think he's got the tools to be a serviceable to pretty good left tackle at the next level but they aren't above and beyond what you are going to find in those four dudes.

Dorial

Oh, and:

Chiefs: Arik Armstead, DL, Oregon

Sac: P.J. Williams, CB; Florida State

chiefs: Andrus Peat
me: Marcus Peters

Maxx mother ****ing Willliams

Him + Kelce = Super Bowl

KC is probably going to pull a Dee Ford type of pick...and protect themselves in case Fisher is indeed a bust. Which is a smart move...with 10 picks, you go after the money positions first...QB, CB, LT and WR

As much as I bang the drum, I'm not liking the field this year.

I like this idea. Chiefs version of Gronk/Hernandez without the murders of course.

Chiefs: OT DJ Humphries
Me: CB Trae Waynes or WR DeVante Parker

Hopefully one of them makes it to us but neither may. I really wouldn't mind if we traded up for Cooper. Or trade back to the end of the first round somewhere and grab Cam Erving

One of the top 4 receivers. I take Jaelen Strong all day long.

The first pick must be sexy.

Statements need to be made.

And the one position Smith is willing to throw deep to is the TE...

How does one "throw deep" to a TE?

I mean, I'm sure it's been done before, but that's usually not the role of a TE route, by and large.

So why not have the best possible pairing in the NFL. 2 young stud TE's. In this offense I think it makes perfect sense. Kelce, Maxx Williams with Macklin,Charles, Thomas and Wilson. You can't really double team any of those players.

i think they would take him if available, and i'd support it

i have enough jizz stored to crash google's servers

Chiefs: i'm falling line with the CB crowd...seems like the best chance for a) Dorsey's love of metrics and b) his plan of replacing a pricey vet a year in advance


Me: i'd take dupree or a top 3 CB if available

Fantasy: we'd trade down for a 3rd and take Smith (WR)

After last year you still think "fatties" aren't important?

These are my thoughts. Although I'd still trade down for a 3rd and grab a CB.

This. It's going to be a corner in the first.

Jeff Heuerman is better.

Excellent way to build a draft board.

You should be GM.

If I was actually the GM, no... he's not the kind of QB I covet.

I prefer big, physical pocket passers, preferably coming out of pro style systems.

I would.

when they take ****ing forever to develop now (since contact/reps are lower thanks to the new CBA) and only end up being good enough for a second contract literally their last year here, no. they aren't THAT important.

We'd still complain cuz he's old

Good organizations find fatties in the mid-late rounds and save their early picks for playmakers.

Lots of exceptions to that, though. Especially from most of the best teams in the NFL.

Lets start with the Champs.

A 1st and 2nd, (both tackles) then a 4th, 5th and UDFA as starters.

Packers? I mean, a good QB needs all 1st rounders to be successful, right?

Only one starter drafted before the FOURTH round.

I'm not going to spend all day doing this so you can point to Dallas and say "I told you so".

I wish someone had the time, but I'd bet anything that league wide, there are more late round starters playing OL than any other position group.

For those wanting a WR in round one, are there receivers you don't want amongst the crop? I would prefer KC go the quick twitch route at WR Vs. The big bodied WR type. Funchess is the perfect example of a guy I don't want.

Most teams that spent two 3rds, two 2nds, and the #1 overall pick on OL from 2010-2013 wouldn't be in the position we're in right now.

That doesn't mean we didn't invest high enough picks. It means we suck at drafting that position.

But at some point you can't keep burning picks on the same position group over and over again. You have to keep your options open. It's like when the Chiefs wasted a fart ton of high draft picks in the 2000s trying to find just ONE DT worth a measly ****. Wanna know why our drafts sucked so much? Because a position we had no clue how to judge talent for was our central goal every ****ing time we tried to draft somebody.

Seattle had high picks at LT and C (until they traded Unger)

Colts have a first round left tackle

Carolina had a first round center

Dallas has a stupid amount of first rounders on the line, but it seems to be working for them.

Denver has Clady

GB has Bulaga

Pittsburgh has Pouncey, Decastro, Adams and then Gilbert in the second

Bengals have Smith

Cardinals have Cooper and Iupati

Lots of first round picks on the OL of the playoff teams...many teams having multiple first rounders there.

And we have two. Your point?

1) I have seen Alex Smith play a lot better than he did last year. In his last year in SF, his YPA was over 8, his comp% was over 70 and he was on pace for 3500 yards and 26tds. That team had a better offensive line and it helped Alex function more effectively.

2) I want to see Jamaal Charles get a chance at a truly eye popping year that puts his name in the HOF talks more frequently. The guy is a complete beast and would only become more deadly if we put a good OL in front of him. There is no doubt that as we use Knile Davis more and more to extend Charles career, he and his style will also benefit from a big nasty OL in front of him.

3) there is no doubt Andy Reid will push to draft more quarterbacks and that we will draft Alex Smiths replacement in the next 3 drafts. NO DOUBT look at Dorsey's history in GB...or Reids in Philly. When that kid gets on the field, I want him to have a big boy line ready to protect him and give him the best chance he can get to succeed. If that means overpaying, so be it.

4) I believe in the ability of Erving. I think he can step right in and be a plus starter and can grow into being a pro bowler at any line position if he needed to and that his ability and versatility will be huge assets for us going forward.

That if a linemen is the BPA, I'd have no problem with them taking him at 18.

Bingo.

We've spent more draft capital at that position group than any other team but Dallas - and what has that gotten either of us?

Not really a good way of looking at it though.

I know you're getting at "hasn't gotten them a superbowl" but with that thinking, neither has drafting qbs or playmakers early, and the Pats have done it with a 6th round qb etc.

In a salary capped league you have to adjust resources necessarily, which is why the "true fan" awesome offensive line dream is great, but not really possible by spending money

Seahawks have drafted 3 starting OL and (Unger, Carpenter, Okung) in the top 50 and then another in the top 65(Justin Britt)

I'm not sure it's about drafting well.

Asamoah was ok and Hudson was pretty good.

Albert was good, but his injury issues surfaced over and over.

Can't wrap up 23 million per on those guys, though.

And we've drafted 5 in the Top 75 over the last 5 years, and it's been a waste of draft capital.

I am good with giving the line they have now a shot. Maybe a vet center for depth. They don't have to spend a single pick on the line. Sometimes you just have to give a guy like Kush a shot. Give Fulton another year to develop and if he falters you have a vet in Fanaika. Allen vs Stephenson should be a good camp battle as well.

Hasn't got us jack, but it got Dallas as close to playoff ready as a Romo led team ever could or will be.
