Mock (3/16/13)

[Direckshun]

Assumptions:

1. They get one compensatory pick, an extra third (Carr).

2. The Chiefs try furiously to trade down, but there are no takers.

On with the show:

1. OLB Ezekial Ensah, BYU

3. TE Zach Ertz, Stanford

The Chiefs released Maneri today, opening up a spot in our TE corps for some good hands.

3. ILB Nico Johnson, Alabama

Adding some power to fill our last remaining hole in the linebacking corps.

4. WR Terrance Williams, Baylor

The Chiefs need reliable hands downfield, and Williams' are among the most reliable hands in this draft. The good news is that he ran a shit 40 time and looked average at the Combine, causing his otherwise borderline-first round grade to slip.

5. C Brian Schwenke, California

Some insurance in the off chance that Rodney Hudson isn't recovering as we've hoped. Schwenke goes along with what I think might be a theme with the signing of Geoff Schwartz: the Chiefs may be trending more towards power in the offensive line, and less towards athleticism.

6. RB Knile Davis, Arkansas

Surely Davis doesn't fall this far, right?

7. NT TJ Barnes, Georgia Tech

Adding a more one-dimensional run-stopper here at the end. Why not. Toribio will not survive the Reid regime, not because he's a bad player but because low-end value players rarely do in a regime change..
