BossChiefs 2012 Mock Draft - Page 5

**BossChief** · 03-28-2012, 10:09 PM

I am assuming that Trent Richardson falls to us and that we are able to move back to 17 with Cincy while adding a third this year and a third next year in the process.

1.17) Mark Barron - You all know I am a big fan of this kid and would love to put Berry in coverage more to utilize his speed more efficiently. Barron is a perfect SS for this defense and Lewis would be perfect for sub packages.

2.27) Peter Konz - We are able to move up to NEs spot while giving up the third this year from Cincy to get easily the best center in this class (and probably of the last few classes if you don't include Pouncey) He isnt really a natural fit for the zone scheme, but he can absolutely do the job and do it at a very high level.

3.74) Jason Chapman - this kid is the real deal. He isnt some overhyped buffoon like Poe or require a first round pick, but he would anchor an elite run defense and give the pocket a push for a long time and would be just the type of guy Romeo will be looking for. He would make Belcher and DJ shine for as long as they are here.

4.107) Orson Charles - Pioli loves him some tight ends and at this point is willing to take a shot on a very talented guy. "Charles needs more catches" I know, I know, we already have Moeaki and Boss...well, Moeaki is injury prone and Boss is mostly just a blocker...take those into consideration and then factor in the value the guy gives us and this is a good pick if he falls this far. I have seen lots of mocks with him lasting this long, but I doubt he really does.

(note: my picks in the third and fourth round can probably be flip flopped to make more sense to some here, depending on who you ask)

5.146 ) Shaun Prater - this kid has definite starter potential and is very well coached. We arent thin at the position, but could use another guy to round out the unit. He is a Hawkeye, what more can you ask for in the fifth round?

6.184) Mike Daniels - I know, I know....another Hawkeye...blah blah blah. Haters gonna hate. this guy would fill out a really good rotation for our DL and is a very active and could do everything asked of him in this defense and would be a reallly good pick at this point of the draft.

7.221) DJ Holt - lots of experience in a 3-4 defense and pretty versatile defender. he could stick on this roster and is basically a pick made to give us depth in case Burflict just goes totally awol.

7.241) Vontaze Burflict - This kid has the potential to be an absolute beast and we do need linebacker depth. Classic boom or bust prospec that I am comfortable doing in the 6th round...again, if he lasts this long. Similar to Charles, I see lots of mocks with him falling this far...and further.

...

I think this draft is a good mixture of meat and potatoes players that can step in and help us immediately and low risk/high reward guys that could prove to also be impact type defenders.

What do you guys think of it?

There's also his repeatedly-hurt shoulder...

His other two injuries are both things that happen in the game to EVERY GOOD SAFETY EVER.

The dude is gonna be a very good player and I'd love to have him and Berry as our safeties in today's NFL.

... that shoulder injury + his "tough as nails" attitude towards injuries, cost Alabama the Iron Bowl against undefeated Auburn. Dude was in perfect position for a game-clinching interception, but he physically couldn't bring his arms up to catch the pass from Cam Newton.

Barron bring a lot of positive attributes. I'm just wary about spending a first rounder on him.

I'd honestly rather roll the dice with someone like Brandon Hardin who's projected to go in the 4th than dropping a 1st on Barron if we're looking to address the position.

I usually don't put a lot of stock in the numbers at the combine, but when somebody bombs it like Charles did, its hard not to overlook. He did great in the bench, but chose not to run, made mistakes in the drills and dropped balls. He also had a dui in March. Guy's stock is falling.
