The Official "It's so early but what the hell" mock draft - Page 2

The season isn't even over, yet it is so...

...let's f**king mock!

Free Agency:

QB, RB, TE, FB, DL, OLB & CB don't change (or don't change very significantly). Depth is brought in here and there.
WR, OL, ILB and S positions are addressed at in FA. Without a ton of cash to spend, they can't go crazy.

WR - Bowe and McCluster stay put. Only one big name WR comes in and I gonna roll with Golden Tate. If Maclin has a clean med report then maybe he does rejoin Reid. Hell, maybe Riley the Racist Cooper swings on by.

OL - Assuming the Chiefs re-sign Schwartz & Asamoah while letting Albert walk. Roger Saffold (Stl) apparently wants to test the market and at only 25, why not give him a look see. At only 26, Austin Howard (NYJ) is worth a look.

ILB - If the G-Men can't resign Jon Beason I'd like him here. Still only 28 but with a history of injuries he can still play very well when out there. If not, it sounds Spikes will be available.

S - We need to re-sign Abdullah and if we can't snag T.J Ward away from the Browns then we may need to rely on the draft. Don't think we should drop huge coin (that we don't have) on Byrd. Maybe a Michael Mitchell type can fill the void.

The Draft:

RD 1 - 3-4 DE Stephon Tuitt - In 2013, Tuitt totaled 49 tackles with nine tackles for a loss, 7.5 sacks, one forced fumbles and a pick-six. He showed off his athletic ability with some pass pressures and a diving interception for a touchdown against Michigan. Big and athletic! Next to Poe? That could be nutty.

RD 3 - FS Calvin Pryor - Pryor has been a play-maker for Louisville this season as a hard-hitting safety. The junior has 69 tackles, three interceptions, four passes broken up and two forced fumbles in 2013.

RD 4 - 3-4 OLB Dee Ford - High effort player. Has a good motor when rushing the passer and will get his share of hustle sacks. Flashes a nice bull-rush when he plays with good leverage and gets under the pads of the opposing lineman. Has the strength to drive the tackle back into the pocket. Has some experience dropping back into coverage. Does a good job of anticipating the snap count to get a quick jump on the play.

RD 5 - WR Donte Moncrief - The 6-foot-3, 226-pounder from Raleigh, Miss., had 59 catches for 938 yards and six touchdowns this season. Moncrief's career numbers of 156 catches, 2,371 receiving yards and 20 touchdowns all rank third in school history.

RD 6a - TE Joe Don Duncan - Joe Don Duncan shattered records as a junior in 2011… he bested those marks in 2013. The tight end corraled a team-high 71 grabs for 1,045 yards with 13 touchdowns. Small school kid but looks like he has real talent and athleticism.

RD 6b - OT Wesley Johnson - Johnson is an undersized, but versatile offensive lineman. He played well in 2013 including a good performance against South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney. If this kid can out some muscle on he could be a huge steal this late.

Please feel free to comment, bash or add your own twist.

Watching him this season, you noticed how stiff he plays/lack of fluidity and how he isn't very powerful in one on one matchups. For a guy of that size, he's more finesse than power and I don't think that bodes well for a guy projecting over to a five tech 34 defensive end.

You've obviously got a better understanding of his game than I, so I'll just leave the objective analysis of Tuitt to your observations.

However, my two cents are that he's not an upgrade to what we've already got on roster versus the WR's that will most likely be available when the Chiefs pick in the first round.

Like I've said all along. If he drops 15-20 lbs and shows up to the combine in shape....he'll be looking at middle to late 1st round. If he doesn't....he'll fall into the 2nd. He looked sluggish this year because of that surgery and that weight gain. Hell....Nix wasn't as dominant this year either.

I don't want to kick a hornets nest, but was it the presence/impact of T'eo?

I don't think so....but I honestly couldn't tell you why there was a big dropoff in defensive production from the team. I don't know what Diaco was doing different. It looked to be the same type of scheme and play calling.

Ward and whitner are not free safeties. They are in the box strong safeties.
