Sac's 2016 Chiefs Mock Draft

[RunKC]

I think ILB is one of the least valuable positions to draft in the first rd unless a generational talent is there.

We also have Wilson and March.

It's a bit of a weird first round IMO.

There's really no "generational" talents in this draft regardless of position, though it does look relatively solid.

Especially where the Chiefs will be picking. Guys like Vadal Alexander, Reggie Ragland, Taylor Decker, Germain Ifedi, Tra'Davious White, etc. are going to be the guys you are looking at.

TBH, the biggest upside, "explosive" type player in this draft might be Ezekiel Elliot followed by Corey Coleman. Are those "generational" type of guys? I don't think so. And those guys should/could be available when the Chiefs pick.

It's really a BPA, stay put type of draft depending upon how the board falls due to the previous picks.

Due to the lack of impact that Wilson, Alexander and Mauga have displayed, a guy like Ragland makes a lot of sense. They really don't have anyone on the team at the ILB that can play the run effectively and Ragland does that exceptionally well. If Decker is still on the board, I'd probably go that route as RT trumps MLB (even Ifedi is a solid choice at RT and might have the most upside and could play inside as well), but the "impact" positions you are thinking about don't have guys as good as those as the non-traditional ones in this draft at the point where the Chiefs should be picking.

And Ragland is a pretty solid player. He's on a tear right now and is the best player on that defense that's just shutting teams down right now. Go watch him against Arkansas. The Razorbacks run on everyone and Ragland just plugged their shit up like 543 lbs. of government cheese.
