Mock Draft from NFLCountdown... - Page 5

Coogs · 10-20-2006, 07:57 AM

I know a lot of you are not interested in this type of stuff, but I like college football as well as the NFL. What I like about this draft site is the analysis they give on each of the players. Here it is...

His name sooo fits the Chiefs (ala Otis Taylor). I just wish he played as well as Otis x 80%. What a waste of a great WR name.

Freeney originally signed for seven years in 2002, but having reached certain incentive levels in his contract has voided the final two seasons, making him a free agent at the end of this season. Freeney has posted double-digit sack totals in each of his four seasons, and has forced 23 fumbles in that time. He’s arguably the best defensive end in the league, and at worst is one of the top pass rushers around. He’s missed just one game in his career and plays with an incredible motor. With some of the best speed at his position, many teams will be lining up for a shot at a player that can apply pressure on the quarterback quite often.

Jared Allen, RFA, Kansas City Chiefs
The top defensive lineman that will see the market, Allen, has posted totals of 9 and 11 in the sack department over the past two seasons. The Chiefs will do everything in their power to keep him, but teams on the outside looking in could see Allen as a free agent must. He’s young, plays with a big motor, and puts pressure on the quarterback often, evidenced by his 7 forced fumbles last season. Teams will line up for the type of player that Allen is, and being an RFA doesn’t change that much. Allen makes the list because of his talent, but it’s difficult to imagine that the Chiefs would allow him to slip away on the market. Expect the Chiefs to negotiate a contract extension or possibly use the franchise tag if Allen has another great season.

Vonnie Holliday, UFA, Miami Dolphins
He’s been an effective defensive tackle throughout his career, and when Holliday hits the market, his experience, talent, and size will make him a desirable option for teams that need defensive interior run support. Miami won’t want to lose him, as they have a collection of veteran players who could help make a Super Bowl push in the next few seasons, but Holliday can command a decent dollar amount if he seeks a new employer. Don’t be surprised to see the Dolphins re-sign him before free agency.

Other Free Agent Defensive Lineman
Edward Jasper, UFA, Philadelphia Eagles
Chad Lavalais, RFA, Atlanta Falcons
Cory Redding, UFA, Detroit Lions
Terdell Sands, UFA, Oakland Raiders
Hollis Thomas, UFA, New Orleans Saints

I'd take Vonnie Holliday and Terdell Sands.

Shields was a 3rd rounder.

I was supporting your point that good guards could be drafted in later rounds, htismaqe.

L.A. Chieffan · 10-20-2006, 06:13 PM

HA! This thing says we've done a tremendous job upgrading our D, and then it mentions Kendrell Bell.

WHAT?!

I think it's much easier for a defensive player to become integrated and contribute because, while there is a degree of a learning curve, it's nothing like what exists on the offensive side. Defense is primarily about recognition and reaction, and players on the line, in particular, can have immediate impact.

Branch is a beast. Although I'm biased, Michigan fan and all.

And while we do need to think about the future (and present) of the WR position, the success or failure of the offense ultimately boils down to pass protection and run blocking. If the choice is a franchise left tackle or a franchise WR, we need the tackle way, way, way, way, way, way more. Good lines turn units with average players into top-5 units (we've seen it here...). Bad lines kill offenses, turn star players into has-been's or never-were's and average players into sucking vacuum.

I agree with you wholeheartedly here, on every point.

I've only seen Branch in one game, and he certainly looked like a beast then.
But it seems to be a consensus opinion.

I was adding further emphasis.

Someone is going to get an amazing bargain if Willis falls to the 20s.

**HemiEd** · 10-20-2006, 08:58 PM

They have us drafting ahead of Arizona.

carlos3652 · 10-20-2006, 09:11 PM

did anyone pick up on the fact that Arizona is 1-5 and they are going to pick #14...??? Chiefs #11 hmm...

That makes no sense... I see us with a #15-19 pick...

htismaqe · 10-20-2006, 09:11 PM

The thing I like about Branch is that he has alot of what Gabe Watson brought to the table last year - size, physical ability, strength - without some of the question marks.

JBucc · 10-20-2006, 09:15 PM

The ads on that page are out of control. Anyway here's my ultimate homerific mock draft for the Chiefs.
1. Branch DT Michigan
2. Aaron Sears OT Tennessee
3. Mike Otto OT Purdue
5. Marcus Monk WR Arkansas
6. Sam Olujabutu LB Arkansas
6. Josh Wilson CB Maryland
7. Aaron Fairooz WR UCA

Be advised besides the AR people and Branch I just picked random names from their rankings so this may be slightly inaccurate.

edit: and we're going to bring in Skinner so he can teach Colquitt a funky pre-snap pose.

I don't believe it's that far fetched.
