Sac's 2014 Chiefs Mock Draft

[The Franchise]

Fasano is a damn good 2nd TE.

I agree, but when they used a high third on Kelce in the 2013 draft and we've received solid production out of Beard McGrath all season long, I would hope that our tight end situation has been and is basically addressed for the immediate and long term future.

While I think that Jenkins is a talent, spending our first rounder in 2014 on him or another player at the tight end position would be a waste, all things considered.

I think that the Chiefs will end up going with the best OL guy on the board, someone like Miss State's Gabe Jackson, Stanford's Dave Yankey or Baylor's Cyril Richardson, unless guy like USC's WR Marquis Lee or Alabama's FS Ha-Ha Dix is sitting there.

However, just throwing this out, a guy who might be a dark horse is Utah's DE Trevor Riley.

Riley led the team in most defensive categories (sacks, tackles for loss, tackles and fumble recoveries). Long and athletic, Riley really exploded this year. Utah defensive players under Wittingham have made a smooth transition to the NFL and Riley's size (6'5", 255 lbs.) indicates he'll be a nice fit for an OLB in a 34 system.

However, I still think it will be a OL guy. Neither Albert nor Asamoah will likely get long term, bigger money contracts and both positions seem to have already been upgraded with the insertion of Stephenson and Schwartz into the lineup. However, Allen still remains the weak link on the line, though the #2 receiver position is probably the biggest need with free safety second.

Draft needs as I see it:

1. WR
- Unless a guy like Lee falls, guys like Davante Adams, Allen Robinson and Jordan Matthews are really no different than guys like Mike Davis and Cody Hoffman - and I personally like Davis and Hoffman a lot better than those guys anyway. I think LSU's Odell Beckham offers up some nice stuff, but I think he'll be in that second/third round grey area. Ohio State's Pitt Brown or Oregon's Josh Huff gives you that same type of guy as Beckham though and will be around in the later rounds.

2. FS
- After Dix it's a pretty thin class at the position and I'm pretty sure that the Chiefs have two young guys/rookies on the roster in Commings and McDougald that will really push Kendrick Lewis for the starting spot for the 2014 season. If it's not Dix, who does have superb speed and athleticism at the position, I don't think you waste a pick due to the two young guys already on the roster.

3. OL
- As stated, I don't see either Albert or Asamoah getting much in terms of a long term offer/contract from the team. Both, in a contract season, haven't played very well and have been out played by the guys who've replaced them the past couple of weeks in Stephenson (who I thought we stole in the 2012 draft) and Schwartz (who seems to solidify the blocking on the line every time he's been inserted into the lineup). Jeff Allen has been flat bad for most of the year and could easily be replaced in the starting lineup. Where the Chiefs will pick, they will have their choice of some really solid pro prospects in the aforementioned guys like Jackson, Yankey or Richardson. And I really like either Virginia's OT Morgan Moses or Tennessee's OT JaWuan James in around the third/fourth round area.

I think you could be right about TE. Reid is close with Kelce's family. He's gonna let him roll. I like the Fasano/Kelce/McGrath trio.

I don't know about OL. Reid obviously has Fisher at LT next year. He likes Jeff Allen a lot, Schwartz will probably start and I think Stephenson deserves his shot at RT.
I think Hudson would be the only weak link because he's struggled and is too small to fit Reid's system.

I think it just depends on who is there. The Joyner kid from FSU is pretty good too, but not sure if he's worth a 1st. Tuitt would be amazing, but idk how he would last that long on the board.

We will probably pick up Jeremy Maclin and a veteran safety, draft a lineman of some sort in round 1 and then draft another WR in round 3. I can see that happening.

You are probably correct with TE situation but if the top TE is still there, we take him.

FS is a huge need for us but as others have said the only viable pick in the 1st
round at that position is Ha-Ha and he will be gone.

With Albert and Asamoah going in FA, Oline is gonna be high on the list also.

So, I think it falls like this:

We pick up the best FS in FA by signing Jarius Byrd. Will have the money if we don't resign Albert and Lewis.

In the 1st round we take the best player available at either TE, Oline or Wr. One is gonna slip and fall to us out of that group and I'd predick it will be Lee (Wr) or Ebron (TE)

Then pick up a OG or Tackle in the 3rd.

Are you ashamed of this post? I hope you're ashamed of this post. Because you should be ashamed of this post.

[hitchief]

very nice mock and would be very happy if it happened but don't think Ha-Ha is gonna be there for us when we pick.

McDougald plays for the Bucs now, Sac. They claimed him from us when we were busy playing Musical Roster Grabass.

Poop.

They may regret that one.

Decent mock. No draft will be without criticism. The folks' bad mouthing this mock should post theirs up.



Sac, I gotta know if you don't mind. How many wives do you have?

[Nightfyre]

Probably none based on the fact that he has free time to make mock drafts!

[rtmike]

Maybe, could be.

I would bet we're not talking to him at all. He just gives one of them a pointer & notes so she can edit while another one can take short notes from the edited material all the while another one is here on the planet typing out this post & yet another is on another computer visiting the Orange Mane getting ready to fire them up...


See there, I already lost track of how many he has. I wonder if he nose.

You know, one of my best friends who I went to high school with and went into the army with, his dad has/had 37 wives.

That sounds like too much work.
