Catapano is probably coming back at 290 lbs. Considering he's already 6'5" and strong as a mother****er, he ain't undersized.
Sorry, I haven't read the entire OP, just that one part. Will continue reading. |

Man, I enjoyed this mock. Thanks for the great read.
1. If the Chiefs are going to go with a OG-CB 1-2 punch with their first two picks, which I agree is plenty likely, I'd rather them go CB in the first since there are three top-end corners. Gilbert and Dennard might not make it to us, but either possibly could. I also really like Verrett, who technique-wise is the best corner in this draft. I think Verrett-Cooper could be the equivalent of Flowers-Smith in 2015. 2. Really like the depth pickups of Mike Davis and Morgan Breslin. I think Breslin's the kind of guy who could provide quality depth and good special teams play for the entirety of his rookie contract. He's just too small and physically limited to be an eventual starter, and Dorsey doesn't draft for depth -- he drafts as if any of his players could be eventual starters. Breslin is only 6'1", 240 lbs, and only played as a down-lineman at USC. I think he has the highest motor in the draft, however. 3. I really hate SJB. I think he's a lousy defender. Not a fan. |

If the Chiefs take a G @ 23 this place will implode. Not that the CHIEFS don't really need one or two of them.

It's very possible, however.
Crow's not wrong -- right now, RG is the biggest hole we have on our roster and Linkenbach is not an answer. I personally really like Rishaw Johnson and Eric Kush, but it's apparent that Dorsey does not. And, well, we've seen Jeff Allen. I think Allen stays for another year, but then he nears the chopping block. That said, I really can't stand it if the Chiefs go with a guard in the 1st. That'll give us an offensive line with two 1sts, two 2nds, and 1 3rd that still won't be worth a shit. |

He ran the forty at the combine in 4.78 seconds at 301 lbs!! That is Aaron Donald type speed (who ran 4.68 @ 285 lbs). Quote:

I dont see the chiefs keeping more than that on the 53. Linkenback might suck, but he has experience. Stephenson and Fisher can play both positions. There is depth at guard and Center. Watkins has starting experience @ RT as well. I dont see it being dire. Quote:

Excellent job.
I'm a big Mike Davis fan and agree that if he had any semblance of a QB, he'd be much higher rated. If he's there in the 4th, it's a steal. I truly think he's fully capable of turning into a legitimate #1 NFL WR. Also, good point by Planetdoc. Howard is kind of a freak from a physical perspective. It really depends on if his heart is in it or not. We know that Catapano has the physical ability and drive. I'm eagerly anticipating what kind of monster he's is at 300 lbs. to start the season. And Bailey progressed I think that they are going to be just fine on the defensive line actually. If the Chiefs can get a guy like Davis in the third or fourth, I don't mind the pick of Filo (though I can understand where people might freak the **** out with yet another high offensive line pick). Good draft overall. |

I though hard about Fuller in round 1 and Billy Turner in round 3. Not sure Turner makes it to that pick though. Richardson maybe, which wouldn't be the end of the world, but i'm not sure about him.

Richardson is a hell of a lineman. He'd be a beast at guard under Reid. |

Good to see that you made the transfer over crow.
I like Filo as a prospect but the pick would absolutely get killed here if it happens. I can't really argue against it either, as the value is pretty low at that spot. If they can trade down some, sure why the hell not? (This place will freak out if they take any lineman though! Can't wait to get off work that Thursday night and watch the meltdown take place lol) I'm not sure how you're exactly coming to this conclusion. |

Honestly, if you're going to get Morgan Breslin, you might as well just get Michael Sam.
Sam actually has an NFL physique, with similar production and a similar difficulty adjusting to the rushbacker position. Breslin's just a tweener. |

I disagree with this in part. Breslin has an NFL body, and has good size for his length at 6'1" 250. He dropped down a bit to around 240 I think for his pro day. He has some room to grow from what I can see. He's quicker, faster, more explosive, has experience in coverage, and so forth. Breslin is more of drop-in depth, whereas Sam is a project at best. Sam has a better physique, but what isn't obvious is his ability to play in space. I don't question that with Breslin.

He's a pure ROLB rush end in the system like Hali. (Which is why you probably want a more versatile LB alongside DJ - another DJ really - so that you don't hamstring yourself on that side of the ball with a pure two down run thumping LB versus a three down guy.) And his combine numbers are, for lack of a better word, horseshit as it relates to what he does on the field. He's amazing coming off the ball snap. Freakish really. So much so that I was utterly stunned by his 40 time and vertical. He's a one trick pony, but I think he's the type of guy who might do that one trick very well. And he's cheap as hell at this point. The one thing I worry about Sam with is that he did tend to get his sacks in bunches. Now, when he got them, he got a lot of them, but then had some long dry spells. I still think he's a solid sixth round option at this point if they choose to go other positions earlier in the draft. Would I take a guy like Attaochu or Jeffcoat over him? Yes, but you are going to probably have to move up to the second to get either at this point, whereas Sam is fifth/sixth round material right now. However, that being said, if I were the Chiefs, there would be two guys I'd be looking at for that position: Boise State's Demarcus Lawrence and Virginia Tech's James Gayle. Both have the size, athleticism and versatility to be effective as initial #3 backups at either OLB spot and the ceiling(s) to groom into a solid starter if/when they need them. Both should be available with the Chiefs third round pick. |

Damn dude.
Solid post. Your mocks are my favorite around here. I can't agree more...
