Players I really liked from the week of practice (NFL Network broadcast) and then the game.

LB Christian Kirksey – Iowa – 6-2, 234 – 3-4 round pick.
RB Charles Sims – West Virginia – 6-0, 214 3 round
RB Antonio Andrews – Western Kentucky – 5-10, 225 5-6 round
RB Jerick McKinnon – Georgia Southern – 5-9, 209 – 6 round
RB James White – Wisconsin – 5-9, 206 – 5 round
TE Crockett Gillmore – Colorado State – 6-6, 253 – 4-5 round
ILB Chris Borland – Wisconsin – 6-0, 245 – 3 round
DE Dee Ford – Auburn – 6-2, 243 – 1 round
DT – Aaron Donald – Pittsburgh – 6-0, 285 – 1 round
DT – Caraun Reid – Princeton – 6-1, 305 – 4 round
WR – Jordan Matthews – Vanderbilt – 6-3, 209 – 2 round
WR – Kevin Norwood – Alabama – 6-2, 197 – 6 round
CB – Stanley Jean-Baptiste – Nebraska – 6-3, 215 – 3 round
CB – Chris Davis – Auburn – 5-10, 201 – 4 round
CB – Aaron Colvin – Oklahoma – 6-0, 186 – 6-7 round –injury at practice really dropped his draft value.

Draft round projection came from NFLDraftScout.com

Based on their play this week, Chief’s needs, and projected round, I’d go…

1 – Leave that open for best pick available and probably a junior coming out in the draft.
2 – Traded for Alex Smith
3 – CB Stanley Jean-Baptiste
4 – ILB Christian Kirksey
5 – TE Crockett Gillmore
6a – WR Kevin Norwood
6b – CB Aaron Colvin

I realize this does not take care of Chief’s need at WR, DE, FS, and OT, but I think we address some of that with free agents. Keep in mind that this was based on the week of Senior Bowl. Also any other disclaimer I can throw in here.
