Foxsports.com Schrager's Mock Draft

Quote:

21. Kansas City Chiefs (10-6), Aldon Smith, DE/OLB, Missouri: The Chiefs stay local, grabbing one of the first round’s biggest wildcard selections in Smith. As a redshirt freshman at Mizzou in 2009, the 6-5 talented pass rusher recorded 11.5 sacks during his first year of college football. He recorded another 4.5 sacks before shattering his leg last season. Healthy now, the Chiefs could use Smith in a variety of ways, either as a pass-rushing OLB or as a DE in their 3-4 scheme.

55. Kansas City Chiefs: Jon Baldwin, WR, Pittsburgh
86. Kansas City Chiefs: Clint Boling, OG, Georgia

FWIW......the following AFC West teams get.

Broncos:

2. Denver Broncos (4-12), Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU
36. Denver Broncos: Jabaal Sheard, DE, Pittsburgh
46. Denver Broncos: Stephen Paea, DT, Oregon State
67. Denver Broncos: Quan Sturdivant, LB, North Carolina

Chargers:

18. San Diego Chargers (9-7), J.J. Watt, DE, Wisconsin
50. San Diego Chargers: Phil Taylor, DT, Baylor
61. San Diego Chargers: Mason Foster, LB, Washington
82. San Diego Chargers: Austin Pettis, WR, Boise State
89. San Diego Chargers: Orlando Franklin, OT, Miami

Raiders:

48. Oakland Raiders: Stefen Wisniewski, G/C, Penn State
81. Oakland Raiders: Edmond Gates, WR, Abilene Christian

I know it's totally ignoring the offensive line for the first 3 rounds.....but if we can come out of the 3rd round with:

1st. Aldon Smith, DE/OLB
2nd. Jonathan Baldwin, WR
3rd. Jerrell Powe, NT

I'll be ****ing ecstatic.

The Chargers always kick ass in mock drafts.

Smith surprised many in the scouting community when he chose to leave Missouri after his redshirt sophomore season, and scouts remain divided on the rather raw prospect. He hasn't filled out his frame, and his lack of ideal strength was evident as he lifted 225 pounds just 20 times at the combine. Smith also posted disappointing short-shuttle (4.50) and 3-cone drill (7.19) times - two important agility tests.

One scout for an NFL team that uses a 3-4 scheme told NFLDraftScout.com Senior Analyst Rob Rang that Smith had an excellent pro day workout and could be an explosive pass rusher once he "grows into his body." Another scout from a 4-3 team was concerned about Smith's change of direction ability and said he'll be drafted early based primarily on his 2009 game film.

Heck, the fifth round and on is going to be loaded with guys just like Smith:

Ugo Chinasa, DE; Oklahoma State
K.J. Wright, OLB; Mississippi State
Tom Keiser, OLB; Stanford

And a guy like Mark Herzlich, who has some of the best instincts I've ever seen from a true Sam linebacker at the college level. I sure as hell would take a flyer on Herzlich in the fifth versus burning a first rounder on Smith.

Jon Baldwin in the second would be absolutely fantastic.

I won't be happy if Denver drafts Patrick Peterson. DT is the only way Denver should go in this draft.

Sam Acho
Chris Carter

And he didn't test very well at the combine and didn't show very good fluidity in dropping back.

Do not want, especially in the first round. The guy would be a project at best as a 3-4 OLB, especially on the left side where he'll be asked to play a lot of zone pass coverage.

You're findthedr's brother aren't you?

This reeks of "Trevor Laws is the same as Glen Dorsey" BS he used to try to shovel.

An absolute dream scenario. That draft would be so awesome.

Ok, this is REALLY good sarcasm. REALLY GOOD. LMAO

Smith/Baldwin as our first 2 picks and KC fans everywhere suffer from speed blisters.
