Pestilence's Mock Draft

[The Franchise]

**** you all......I'm going trade crazy.

The Chiefs trade down from #11 with the Bengals for their 1st (#17), 3rd (#83) and 5th (#166). The Bengals move ahead of the Cowboys and draft David Decastro.

The Chiefs trade down from #17 with the Lions for their 1st (#23) and 3rd (#85). The Lions move up to draft Stephen Gilmore.

1st - Devon Still, DE/DT, Penn State



Dorsey is as good as gone next season. I would look to trade him before the draft but I don't see anyone giving up a draft pick for a player AND signing him to a huge contract. Still comes in and immediately becomes Dorsey's replacement. Tyson Jackson might be out next season if he doesn't reschedule his contract numbers as well. That would give the Chiefs Still and Bailey as their DEs.

2nd - Harrison Smith, SS, Notre Dame



It's been brought up multiple times already but moving Eric Berry to FS would not only allow him to play longer (career wise) but also allow him to be the ball hawk that we all know he can be. Smith is good against the run but can also cover the pass as well. Crennel likes to run a lot of three safety formations....so you could put Lewis at FS, Smith at SS and let Berry be the rover.
[B]

3rd - Brock Osweiler, QB, Arizona State



Yes, I have him falling here. I think his lack of experience makes him drop down the board a little bit. He's going to need to sit at least a year and develop. Cassel is going to get another year to prove himself anyways....so why not let Osweiler sit and learn from Zorn.

3rd - Josh Chapman, NT, Alabama



Crennel gets his NT. Both Chapman and his agent are saying that he'll be ready for training camp.

3rd - Ben Jones, C, Georgia



I'm in the group of people that want Hudson to stay at guard. Jones should be able to come in and start from day 1.

4th - Chase Minnifield, CB/KR, Virginia



CB depth is a must......and Minnifield can help spell Arenas when it comes to returning kicks/punts.

5th - Bruce Irvin, DE/OLB, West Virginia



Our depth at OLB is horrendous. Irvin isn't going to stunt Houston's growth but he will be able to give Hali or Houston a breather.

5th - Matt Reynolds, OT, BYU



Albert and Winston are your tackles for the future but it's always nice to have that swing tackle that can fill in for injuries.

6th - James-Michael Johnson, ILB, Nevada



LB depth is always good to have.

7th - Jeff Fuller, WR, Texas A&M

7th - Tauren Poole, RB, Tennessee
