Mock (1/5)
Predictions:
1. The Chiefs have the 24th overall pick, and the 49ers have our 2nd rounder. We have the Cowboys' 6th rounder, however. 2. The Chiefs resign OG Geoff Schwartz to a 2-year, $4m deal. 3. The Chiefs resign WR Kyle Williams, TE Sean McGrath, LS Thomas Gafford, ILB Akeem Jordan, NT Jerrell Powe and S Husain Abdullah to minimal deals. 4. The Chiefs let walk: WR Dexter McCluster, OT Brandon Albert, OG Jon Asamoah, DE Tyson Jackson, OLB Frank Zombo, S Kendrick Lewis, S Quinten Demps 5. The Chiefs cut: QB, Chase Daniel, CB Dunta Robinson 6. Chiefs sign WR Jeremy Maclin to a 3-year, $15m contract, and OT Winston Justice to a 1-year, $2m deal, S Bradley McDougald to a minimum deal. The Draft: 1. DE Louis Nix, Notre Dame One of the biggest weaknesses from the Colts loss was our inability to generate pressure. Houston/Hali is a fine combo on the outside, but Poe's starting to stall on his passrush, and DeVito and Jackson never provided much. I like Allen Bailey and Mike Catapano, but we need to stack this front line. STACK. IT. 3. QB A.J. McCarron, Alabama Andy Reid always needs a guy he can develop from the ashes into a potential star -- he's done it too many times in the past. And I'm not sure if Bray is that guy. McCarron can be. Smart decision maker who can excel in Reid's scheme. 4. FS Calvin Pryor, Louisville The Chiefs need to beef up their secondary. I've had it with Demps and Lewis' poor angles and tackling. Here's a guy who can absolutely tackle; it'll be up to the Combine to determine if he's the athlete this team needs him to be. For now, I gamble that he is. 5. OT/OG Justin Britt, Missouri A bit pie in the sky, perhaps, that Britt falls this far. But it is the NFL Draft we're talking about here. Britt is a dependable shut down tackle for the Tigers, first team all SEC. However, he is not the gifted athlete that others will be. 6. OLB Aaron Lynch, South Florida Pure athletic potential here. Long athlete, fluid and strong. Not terribly fast -- he's only a projected 4.8 guy and he looks every bit of it -- but I really like his length. 6. CB Nevin Lawson, Utah State Lawson's a pure ball tracker -- great for press coverage, even though he is slightly small at 5'10". He's got speed to burn, however, and can be worth a gamble for a team looking for options beyond Sean Smith in the future. 7. RB De'Anthony Thomas, Oregon Pure speed. This team needs as much of it as it can get. |

We signed Abdullah and then cut him?

And for the 10000th time, we are not letting McCluster walk. No way that happens.

Hoover's Predictions:
1. The Chiefs have the 24th overall pick, and the 49ers have our 2nd rounder. We have the Cowboys' 6th rounder, yippie! 2. The Chiefs resign OG Geoff Schwartz and Dexter McCluster to reasonable deals. 3. The Chiefs resign TE Sean McGrath, LS Thomas Gafford, ILB Akeem Jordan, NT Jerrell Powe, OLB Frank Zombo and S Husain Abdullah to minimal deals. 4. The Chiefs let walk: OT Brandon Albert, OG Jon Asamoah, DE Tyson Jackson, S Kendrick Lewis, S Quinten Demps, 5. The Chiefs cut: CB Dunta Robinson, TE Anthony Fasano, RB, Cyrus Gray, and K, Ryan Succup. 5. Chief's restructure: Berry, Flowers, and resign Alex Smith so that he has a lower cap number in 2014. 6. Chiefs sign WR Jeremy Maclin to a 3-year, $15m contract, sign WR/KR Ted Ginn Jr for the minimum, DB, Javier Arenas, and K, Dan Carpenter. The Draft: 1. FS Ha Ha Clinton-Dix You are fu@king blind if can't see that FS is our biggest needs after our playoff loss. Dix is the perfect compliment to Berry, and would instantly help our secondary. 3. DE Ray Drew Face it, if we let Jackson walk we must draft a defensive end. Drew is a natural five-technique defensive end. 4. TE C.J. Fiedorowicz, Iowa Fiedorowicz isn't the speed guy that gets all of the attention in the NFL these days, but he is an excellent blocker and a huge target. Cutting Fasano made this a position of need, but it gives Smith a nice 1-2 punch at TE. At, 6'7" Fiedorowicz will give Smith a great short yardage and red zone target. 5. OT/OG Justin Britt, Missouri A bit pie in the sky, perhaps, that Britt falls this far. But it is the NFL Draft we're talking about here. Britt is a dependable shut down tackle for the Tigers, first team all SEC. However, he is not the gifted athlete that others will be. 6. OLB Aaron Lynch, South Florida Pure athletic potential here. Long athlete, fluid and strong. Not terribly fast -- he's only a projected 4.8 guy and he looks every bit of it -- but I really like his length. 6. CB Nevin Lawson, Utah State Lawson's a pure ball tracker -- great for press coverage, even though he is slightly small at 5'10".

The OP should listen to Hoover.

Something I neglected to note in the OP was how well Rishaw Johnson played at RG against the Chargers. He definitely deserves a spot as the team's swing guard next year.

A couple of things.
1. Our secondary problems is this teams biggest issue. 2. McCluster works in this offense, Reid will find a way to keep him. I justify it by saying he's the 4th string RB. PLUS, he's our PR. 3. I think we can improve in the KR department and a guy like Ginn will be dirt cheap and can contribute on offense. 4. Arenas would be a cheap signing and take over the nickel CB spot. Great blitzed too, would work well in this scheme. 5. We must find a PK that can hit a 50 yard FG. We can save a little money by cutting Soccup. 6. Fasano isn't worth the price IMO. We would be very young at the position, but Kelse would have a full offseason to get ready to be the starter and Fiedorowicz is a professional. 7. The only thing that really concerns me is depth at OT. Other than that, I like this team. |
