Matt Miller's post-combine, 7 round mock

[Quesadilla Joe]

Chiefs picks...

Spoiler!

27. Kansas City Chiefs Pat Mahomes

Draft a developmental quarterback for the inevitable decline of Alex Smith or plug holes and try to load up for one more Super Bowl run?

Those are the options facing the Chiefs with pick No. 27 overall. With no viable long-term option on the roster behind Smith—unless the team keeps Nick Foles in a restructured deal—it makes sense to grab a talented quarterback if one happens to be available and then focus on team-building in Rounds 2-7.

Patrick Mahomes has unreal tools, but needs his mechanics re-worked and time to acclimate to a pro offense before he's thrown to the wolves of an NFL defense. Andy Reid would be the ideal QB mentor for Mahomes to learn under, which might make this match too good to be true.

59. Kansas City RB Joe Mixon, Oklahoma
91. Kansas City CB Howard Wilson, Houston
104. Kansas City* S John Johnson, Boston College
132. Kansas City DL Eddie Vanderdoes, UCLA
170. Kansas City EDGE Avery Moss, Youngstown
180. Kansas City* DL Ryan Glasgow, Michigan
216. Kansas City* WR Damore'ea Stringfellow, Ole Miss
218. Kansas City* TE Pharaoh Brown, Oregon
245. Kansas City CB Ezra Robinson, Tennessee State

I sure hope you aren't suggesting that the "prevalent racism" he's encountered justified him punching a female (who wasn't even the name caller if I heard correctly) in the face

I would not say it remotely justifies it.

Just justifying black guys claiming it happens a lot.

I say draft Mixon. I'm glad this franchise is moving away from only drafting good 'ol boys. Their job is to draft the best players, and a guy like Andy Reid has a rep for keeping guys in line. 80,000 people chant Tyreek on every return, I'd say that he has been forgiven in KC

If you aren't pointing to it as some sort of justification, why bring it up at all?

DJLN made an offhand remark that black guys were perhaps a little too trigger happy claiming the N word is thrown at them.

I'm just saying it is, in fact, thrown at them a ton.

A little social commentary for a little social commentary. You can take that for what it is.

I'd call it a "casual aside."

Mahomes is a check-down pass guru.

I would too with 0 ****s given

He's arguably the 2nd best RB prospect in this draft. Definitely the 3rd.

This isn't really for the draft forum, but I call bullshit. I'd argue black people call themselves the N word far more than by any other race and it isn't even close. You can't erase something you fuel yourself. That said, I'm done on the topic and moving on.

I'm gonna say something completely asinine then say I'm done and move on!

I wanted to deflect having to name the reasons, figuring it was fairly obvious to anyone with half a functioning brain but that's apparently not a possibility here.
I watch them greet each other on the daily with it. I watch them sing it in their music. I watch them use it as a vile word against one another daily, just as wrongly as another race. If there is an ass in this conversation, it's you kid.

Yeah, you're right, this does not belong in the draft forum

[ChiefAshhole1056]

Mixon is probably a 1st rounder at this point, I wouldn't mind him as the pick if Mahomes isn't there.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

I would take this all day.

[Direckshun]

I really don't like Mixon in the first.

He's a stud, but we need to take either a QB or a front seven player in the 1st.

This draft is ridiculous with RBs. Get one on day two, or trust Bienemy with a Day 3 pick.

[Quesadilla Joe]

Fomer Oklahoma RB Joe Mixon will visit #Broncos today, as @DanGrazianoESPN reported. Talented RB, with a lot of baggage.
