Mock (3/17/13)
 

Assumptions:

1. They get one compensatory pick, an extra third (Carr).

2. The Chiefs try furiously to trade down, but there are no takers.

On with the show:

1. OT Luke Joeckel, Texas A&M

I have not the slightest idea why the Chiefs continue to gravitate towards drafting Joeckel. It doesn't make a lot of sense, as the team outwardly expresses a desire to keep Albert longterm at LT, and with the signing of Geoff Schwartz, the Chiefs now feature three potential right tackles in Schwartz, Donald Stephenson, and Jeff Allen.

3. OLB Trevardo Williams, Connecticut

An undersized passrushing machine. I love the guy, reminds me a lot of Dumervil.

3. TE Vance McDonald, Rice

Probably the most impressive physical specimen at tight end in this year's draft. Over 270 lbs, but ran a 4.7. He is a developmental project if there ever was one, but with Moeaki and Fasano taking all the TE reps, we can stick him out.

4. ILB A.J. Klein, Iowa State

A few of the other guys that would be available here aren't as athletic, and don't possess the fiery leadership of Klein.

5. OG/C David Quessenberry, San Jose State

Getting some support at center is not a bad thing -- neither is padding our offensive line with even more depth.

6. ILB Vince Williams, Florida State

A one-dimensional thumper who's clearly a two-down back.

7. ILB Kenny Cain, TCU

The Chiefs have zero athleticism at ILB other than Derrick Johnson. Cain is a bit undersized but he'd finally be solid depth at WILB. Cain's best work is in dropping into coverage -- if he lost about ten more pounds he'd be an interesting safety project.

Is pick No.5 any relation to Dan ?

Somebody would die if the draft went like this. Namely me - from a coronary.

This is Scott Pioli bad

God...

Didn't you have AJ Klein in the 7th round just a couple days ago?

I did. I have players graded out sometimes in ranges of rounds. I think Klein can go anywhere from 5th to 7th. And that will be reflected in some of my mocks.

Voyager? Is that you?

This may be the wrong thread to ask this, but...

Why does everyone think Stephenson can play RT?
He's a finesse LT.

Direckshun, I've noticed this in ALL your mocks.

You draft us 5 million LBs. In each one. Andy Reid tends to not value that position as much. It's a very counterintuitive thing you're doing.

I probably went overboard this time.

But meh.

This team has pretty good depth everywhere but QB and LB.

We've got zero ILBs other than DJ, and no depth behind Houston Hali.

Considering they've padded our depth at WR, OL, DL, and the secondary, there's really not that many other areas we can draft for.

One area I feel we can afford to add depth is running back. Gillislee, Lattimore, and Franklin should all be people we consider in the middle rounds

Gillislee I'm a big fan of. I like Franklin too.

Lattimore... meh. I know that's he's talented, but we need to avoid medical red-flaggers for the better picks in this draft.

I really like the idea of targeting LBs late. I think that teams can almost never go wrong targeting RBs and LBs late.
