NFL Draft Walter Football 4 Round Mock Has the Chiefs Selecting...

'Hamas' Jenkins · 01-21-2010, 12:03 PM

Berry goes 6th, FWIW.

What I would have done:

1) Berry
2a) Spikes
2b) Pouncey
3) Kindle
4) Ciron Black

Kansas City Chiefs: Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State

Branden Albert improved over the season and was pretty flawless in the final month. But I'm not convinced that he's a franchise left tackle. There's a chance that he could be, but I don't think anyone can seriously say that he's a lock to be one.

Scott Pioli invested $63 million into the noodle-armed Matt Cassel. He can't afford to have Cassel sacked 42 times again next year.

Fortunately, Pioli, who is a big believer in positional value, can take Okung without sacrificing too much of his team's payroll into the left tackle position. Albert makes less than $1 million in each of the next two seasons, and was a guard at Virginia anyway.

Okung is the real deal. He could take the Chiefs' offense to the next level, though the team will ultimately struggle in the playoffs because of Cassel's limitations.

Eric Berry is the other option here, but it would go against everything Pioli believes in if he were to take a safety without having his offensive and defensive lines finished.

By the way, pretty cool stuff - Okung is currently ranked third in the DraftDebacled's Average NFL Draft Position - even higher than Berry. If you click on the names, you can read all of the mock draft analysis for that player and see the percentage of teams targeting each prospect. You can also create your own 2010 NFL Mock Draft to possibly have it listed in the 2010 NFL Mock Draft Database.

Kansas City Chiefs: Brandon Spikes, ILB, Florida

Inside linebackers like Rey Maualuga and James Laurinaitis have fallen into the second round before, so don't be surprised if Brandon Spikes takes a tumble as well.

For some reason, Todd Haley had a major problem with Derrick Johnson the entire year and started him for just three games. Even if Johnson is in the lineup next year, the Chiefs will need an upgrade at inside linebacker.

Kansas City Chiefs: Maurkice Pouncey, C/G, Florida

Even when Kansas City's offensive line improved toward the end of the 2009 season, the center position was still a glaring weakness. Scott Pioli will continue to upgrade the trenches.

Pick change; previously Taylor Mays, SS

Kansas City Chiefs: Marshawn Gilyard, WR/KR, Cincinnati

The Chiefs need a slot receiver for their offense, and they might think Marshawn Gilyard would be a great fit for the system they run.

Pick change; previously Jordan Shipley, WR

Kansas City Chiefs: Darrell Stuckey, SS, Kansas

Remember when the Chiefs had a solid strong safety in Bernard Pollard? Hmm... I wonder what happened to him...

I think he had it right initially with Shipley over Gilyard

KCrockaholic · 01-21-2010, 12:06 PM

Not bad at all. I like the Gilyard pick and I love the Florida picks. But I think I would rather go with Hamas' picks. Berry with our 1st is important if you ask me, if he is available.

tyton75 · 01-21-2010, 12:07 PM

I'd rather have Shipley in the slot instead of Gilyard... guessing in the new Mock, Shipley is already gone?

'Hamas' Jenkins · 01-21-2010, 12:08 PM

Gilyard's a good player, but I'd rather have Sergio Kindle. I don't know if I'd want kind with our 2a pick, but anything past that is going to be good value.

That said, I expect his stock to vault after the combine.

KJROD20 · 01-21-2010, 12:09 PM

If Spikes falls to KC, which it sounds like he will, I will jump for joy. He got some bad press for the eye gouging but he's a fantastic player. If he came out last year, he would have been top 10.

But why? Have you seen Gilyard play? He has tremendous speed and agility. Close to the likes of DeSean Jackson. I like Shipley. But he is not the talent of Gilyard.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 01-21-2010, 12:09 PM

Here's the problem with Walter's analysis:

"Branden Albert improved over the season and was pretty much flawless the last month."

Well, given that he's a second year player who was working on technique and dealing w/ weight loss, wouldn't that lead you to believe that "flawless" is a pretty good indicator of his ability?

big nasty kcnut · 01-21-2010, 12:09 PM

I like the top pick we do need to get our offenseive line stronger

It's way too early to determine fallers man.

Kindle will slip to the 3rd?

Kindle has some major character concerns. He was arrested several times, only to have the charges dropped.

I am 100% convinced that whoever does the mocks for them reads the Planet for info on the Chiefs.
