3 Guys who could/should be the Chiefs pick at #23
If the 2013 Draft is any indication of John Dorsey's preferences in the process, I think that there might be a surprise or two in the 2014 draft for the Chiefs, especially in the first round.
Dorsey doesn't seem to really care about the draftnik's and their "big board" ratings, as evidence by the selections of Knile Davis in the third, Eric Kush in the sixth and Mike Catapano in the seventh. The guy takes football players, particularly ones who have high level athletic potential (Fisher, Davis, Commings and Catapano all had excellent combine and/or pro day results). So, with the initial base of what Dorsey likes in a prospect, here are my top guys for the Chiefs with the #23 pick: 1. Kyle Van Noy, LB; BYU 6'3 1/2", 243 lb. Arms: 31 5/8" Hands: 9 5/8" 40: 4.71 Vertical: 32.5: Broad: 112" - Exceptionally fluid and smooth. Has superb burst and acceleration on the field and will explode into the ball carrier or quarterback. Very instinctive with terrific flow and can easily find and exploit gaps as a play progresses. Plays sideline to sideline. Drops back into coverage extremely well and has very good feet and hips to turn and cover backs, tight ends and bigger receivers. The most complete linebacker in this draft and would be able to play inside and outside in any scheme as a four down player. (He lined up inside and outside for BYU as well as excelled on special teams as well for the Cougars, routinely blocking punts and kicks.) His tackling is absolutely textbook as he wraps up completely as well as going after the ball. A very solid citizen and the undisputed team leader for the Cougars. Very vocal and supportive. For his career, he has 61.5 tackles for loss, 26 sacks, 11 forced fumbles, 7 interceptions and 21 passes defensed. The dude can flat out play all over the field. Personally, I think that if he's available at #25, the Chargers take him, and I really don't want to play against this guy for the next decade. Quote:

![]() Watch this shit and tell me you don't get goosebumps thinking about this guy in red lining up next to DJ: 2. Donte Moncrief, WR; Mississippi: 6'2 3/8", 221 lb. Arms: 32 3/8" Hands: 9 1/8" 40: 4.40 Vertical: 39.5" Broad: 132" A faster, more explosive version of Dwayne Bowe that runs better routes. Moncrief has every single tool that you want from a potential high level #1 NFL wide receiver - size, speed, route running, vertical, explosiveness. People (aka Draftniks) aren't giving Moncrief the attention he deserves, which is legitimate first round consideration. In fact, I don't think that there is a receiver in this draft that has the entire package that's possessed by Moncrief. He's got the speed and vertical of Odell Beckham, the ability to separate of Watkins, the size of Evans, the route running of Cooks...the dude is the complete package and his upside is absolutely enormous.

Oh, hells no, because when you are destroying worlds, it don't matter how high you can jump. Broad: Yeah, he's broad. Broad as a ****ing duplex. - Gabe Jackson is the best interior offensive line prospect in this draft. He was a four time SEC OL Player of the Week in 2013 as he just manhandled everyone who had the misfortune of lining up against him. Brutally strong with absolute tree trunks for legs, he's able to drive block even the biggest defensive linemen with ease. There were points in this season during games where guys would actually run away from him. Jackson plays really, really mean and looks to absolutely bury guys into the ground. Two time team captain. Has the potential for being a perennial All-Pro in Reid's power man blocking scheme. Jackson would rectify a lot in terms of the effectiveness of the Chiefs red zone offense. I think he's a better version of the Detroit Lions' Larry Warford and the Broncos will seriously consider Jackson at #31 as they'll want someone capable of controlling guys like Dontari Poe. Quote:
