Never draft a Big 12 QB. They haven't worked out in years

Despite rolling in their bowl game, apparently Mason Rudolph and James Washington announced that they are going to return for their Senior year's at Oklahoma State. So, that means he probably shreds the Big 12 next year and ends up a top-10 pick... and I cry. Working on a new mock...

No ****ing idea what Washington was thinking though. At worst, he was a Day 2 selection. |

Now that I'm done crying about two kids "pursuing their educations" in some meaningless degree like communications, I'm going to scream for another and hope like hell he declares.
With that, mock is updated. |

I like the way you worked your off season plan. Though some are likely to throw shit-fits about move #2, we've reached a point where it is what it is.

That's a pretty rough mock.
I can't see McMillian going in the first round. Reminds me too much of Ramik Wilson, so I'm really not a fan of him in this Defense at all. Hunter Dimick is rather early at that slot. Can't see Dorsey going CB again unless they don't think Mitchell will stick. Need to let the young players actually develop. Don't see the point pissing another Day 3 pick on riftraft QB. Rest of the picks are fine On the QB front, I can't help but think that the Chiefs will eagerly turn in a card with Deshaun Watsons name on it if he makes it to their pick. I think he fits the Offense extremely well, while not being nearly as limited as Alex is and isn't a mental midget. Last edited by BryanBusby; 01-01-2017 at 01:21 AM.. |

Dimick is being highly underrated by CBS Sports and other draft sites at this point. You don't lead his conference in sacks, and post respectable numbers for 3 year without the NFL taking significant notice. He's a better prospect than the kid from Boise that went round 2 last year, Correa, or Kikaha that went in round 2 in 2015. He's going to ascend way up the "boards' prior to the draft just like those 2, especially if he has any sort of decent workout. After that though, respectable points. I think Watson is in play despite my thoughts on him. He's that mobile type that Reid has primarily employed. While I agree about not spending another mid-round pick on a QB, if the Chiefs do not strike early then it is likely they go to that pot once again. They can't possibly retain Foles and Smith at their current price tags and the only other QB on the team right now is Joel Stave from Wisconsin. Not good. They'll need another guy that at least has potential. |

I think its a decision the team has to make at this point in time. The team is more important than hanging on to nostalgia. Jamaal is past his prime. Poe and Berry are in there primes and are significant pieces to the defense. Poe is everything a 3-4 NT needs to be and Berry is the leader of the team. I just can't justify KC letting either walk at this point. We've seen KC succeed with Jamaal for a few seasons now. Don't get me wrong, I'm as much a fan of his as anyone, but it all boils down to a business decision. If the Chief can fit Poe and Berry in and cut Jamaal down to about 2 mil for the 2017 season, I could live with that.

We'll have to agree to disagree on Dimick and McMillian.
I like Dimick, but I just think you're taking him a good full round too early. He's probably going to time poorly in Indy which will sink his momentum. Being productive is good, and he had a good season yes, but I don't think he faced that great of competition considering he played in a power conference. McMillian is a 2 down backer that doesn't have the best closing speed or the best ability to fight blockers. I think he's like Ramik in the sense that Ramik is like Donnie Edwards. Racked up a lot of tackles after a guy had already racked up a fair amount of positive yardage. Sure he can hit hard, but that also leads him to being over aggressive and completely out of position, which will lead to big plays being given up that shouldn't happen. I think your OSU glasses are giving him a more favorable look. I would be okay if it was stacked more like 1. Watson 2. McMillian 3. Dimick Although I think the Chiefs would probably have more interest in someone like Damore'ea Stringefellow in the 2nd (a lot like Treadwell, who the Chiefs tried to move up for) and would save ILB for early Day 3.

I wouldn't be upset trading up for the ilb from Alabama if he gets into the low 20s.
Unless Watson is still around. Love that guy |

Given that Watson is a smaller, slower, less accurate version of Marcus Mariota, perhaps he'd be passable in the NFL. I'm sure not thrilled with his NFL projection though.

That's a real not good way to describe Watson.

How 'bout a smarter Vince Young?
We saw the good and the bad with Watson last week, IMO. He was still incredibly erratic early in that game. The accuracy just comes and goes and when it's gone, he's a massive liability. That worries me quite a bit. There are a lot of rough edges on Watson and no middle ground with him. If he fixes his feet/mechanics, he can be a good one (provided he stays healthy AND adapts to the pro game), if he doesn't fix his feet, he's not even a viable backup. That's a shitload of risk. I'd probably take him in the late 1st still, but he's not a guy I'd trade up for. Watching that same game, I'm a little intrigued by Malik Hooker. I just don't know that I'd be willing to use a 1st on him and I think that's what it would take (I don't think he'll leave early without a 1st round grade). That kid's a ballplayer, though. Perhaps not as physical as I'd like but as a pure FS, he'd be a baller. I just don't know if he works alongside Parker; too much finesse back there.
