Mock (3/12/13)

Assumptions:

1. The Chiefs trade Cassel for a 6th round pick.

2. The Chiefs retain Glenn Dorsey.

3. They get one compensatory pick, an extra third (Carr).

4. The Chiefs try furiously to trade down, but there are no takers.

On with the show:

1. OT Luke Joeckel, Texas A&M

Until I see a long-term deal for Albert, I'm certain this is the pick. Sigh.

3. QB Ryan Nassib, Syracuse

I imagine Geno Smith, Matt Barkley, and Mike Glennon go in the 1st. EJ Emanuel and Tyler Bray go in the second.

That leaves Ryan Nassib and Tyler Wilson atop the 3rd for the Chiefs. The Chiefs prefer to go with a natural leader with pretty good decision making and the ability to take care of the ball.

3. OLB Corey Lemonier, Auburn

A 4.60 40 yard dash with 34+" arms? Yes, god. What might spook teams is his mere 5.5 sacks last year, but he was playing on a bad ankle.

4. ILB Nico Johnson, Alabama

Johnson makes too much sense as the sam backer in our defense.

5. C Brian Schwenke, California

I've heard basically zero word on Rodney Hudson. Everybody comes back from a knee differently. I like Luke Patterson a ton as a backup center, but it's clear that the past regime didn't, and this one has zero loyalty to him.

Schwenke's a solid zone-blocker who is still a bit of a work in progress, but I could live with him as a patch for part of 2013 if I had to.

6. TE Joseph Fauria, UCLA

The Chiefs need receiver help at this position. Fauria is 6'7" and a decent route runner.

6. WR Chris Harper, Kansas State

Some depth for a WR unit. There are no really good speedsters here so I just go with the best set of hands.

7. ILB DeVonte Holloman, South Carolina

A really impressive physical specimen, Holloman suffers from being a tweener -- too big to play safety, too small perhaps to play linebacker. Except that this team has zero athleticism behind Derrick Johnson at the ILB position, so he could have a home here.
