2016 Mock Draft

Couch-Potato · 09:45 PM

Not sure these guys fall to us, but these are the guys I'd like our Chiefs to draft. A lot of the below commentary comes from ESPN and NFL.com. I trust that they offer better evaluations than myself, but feel free to disagree. I'm banking on when NFL scouts say that there is real CB and DT depth in this years draft, that they mean there are some legitimate depth options in later rounds.

Here goes....

1) WR Corey Coleman (5'11, 194 lbs, 4.39) Baylor:

Quick, sudden, and gifted athlete that can make defenders miss. A home run hitter with the highest production of the top tier WRs in this year draft class with 74 Rec, 1,363 yrds and 20 TDs in 2015. Not yet a complete route runner, but has the physical gifts to excel in the West Coast System. Plus, who better to learn from than Maclin? Day 1 #2 WR option.

Alt: CB Jackson

2) OG Josua Garnett (6'4, 312 lbs, 30 reps) Stanford

Massive well-proportioned frame with explosive initial pop. Plays a mean, physical style of football with brains to boot. Considered by many as the best Gaurd in the draft. Garnett would solidify and complete our OL.

Alt: WR Caroo

3) *FU Goodell !!!*

4) CB/S Deiondre' Hall (6'2, 199 lbs, 4.55) Northern Iowa

Great size with exceptionally long arms that are disruptive in jump ball situations. Ideal press corner Played both corner and safety in 2015, earning multiple All-American honors and the Missouri Valley Football Conference Defensive Player of the Year award with 82 tackles, 5.5 for loss, 3 FF, 6 INT, and 2 TDs. 4 year career ball production (15 PBU, 13 INT). He has great measurables, versititality and scheme fit for the Chiefs D.

Alt: OT Haeg

5a) DE/OLB Matt Judon (6'3", 275 lbs, 4.73, 30 reps) Grand Valley State

High motor athlete with chiseled build at 275 lbs. Dominated his competition with 20 sacks, 23.5 tackles for loss, 3 FF and 3 FR. Really good range vs the run and pass rushing skills. Obvious knock on him is the lack of competition he faced. He offers depth at OLB and could be worked into DL rotation and special teams.

5b) CB Leshaun Sims (6'0, 203 lbs, 4.42) Southern Utah

Press-CB who is at his best in bump and run technique where he can use his size, strength and speed to his advantage. 4 yr career ball production (25 PBU, 8 INT). Takes quality angles and isn't afraid to set the hard edge against the run. Another small school prospect that fits our defensive depth needs with the measurables Chiefs brass covet.

6) ILB Scooby Wright III (6'0, 239 lbs, 4.75, 22 reps) Arizona

Best defender in college football in 2014, winning the coveted triple crown of national awards: the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Rotary Lombardi Award and Chuck Bednarik Award. The unanimous All-American and Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year ranked among the top five players in the country with 163 tackles, 29 tackles for loss, 14 sacks and six forced fumbles. He was a one-man wrecking crew and possesses elite instincts, appears to head in direction of the play like he knows the play call. Great football player but not an elite athlete. Why not? ...His name is "Scooby" for christ sake!? ...and he provides needed depth at ILB.

7) DT David Onyemata (6'4, 300 lbs, 5.05, 33 reps) Manitoba

Originally from Nigeria Onyemata is the top Canadian prospect. He played Soccer prior to American Football. He dominated his competition and showed really well at the East-West Shrine Bowl. “His numbers throughout the [pro] day have been crazy,” said his coach, Dobie. “He’s top three, top four, top five in the NFL combine. That’s how his numbers are translating. His numbers are extraordinary. That puts him on everyone’s radar screen.”

UDFA DT Zimmer (6'2, 301 lbs, 4.85, 44 reps) Ferris State

Another gifted athlete that didn't play against elite competition, but Zimmer absolutely dominated in both the pass rush and against the run. He showed great explosion off of the snap, and his athleticism and raw strength shows up on the field. 2015: 26 tackles for loss and 13 sacks. This guy is crazy fast and strong at 300 lbs. He ran a 4.85, that's just .2/sec slower than the #1 WR Treadwell. He completed 44 reps at his pro day, the highest at this years combine was 34, and here's a video of him doing 46: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Anqt7_4HdhQ

Really would be a successful haul of players, imo.

Coleman is an A+ pick that would give KC a potential #1 learning next to Maclin. Pushes Albert down the roster.. at least eventually if not immediately. Gives Conley some competition for #2 right away.

As much as I want the Morse to LG and Fulton to C arrangement.. this doesn't seem to be the plan.. so a G like Garnett in rd 2 would be really good.

The rest looks like something to feel good about.

I'd like this draft overall. I see some potential issues with slotting, but you never know how things will shake out. Here are my thoughts on that:

Coleman is the only receiver I can see KC drafting round 1, but they'd probably have to jump up ahead of Houston to get him. Basically, I see no way he drops to 28.

I don't see Wright falling quite that far either given the lack of quality at the ILB position in this draft. For 3-4 teams, Wright makes a bunch of sense in the 4th to 5th round range at the latest. He did have that injury though, so it could happen.

I've said before that I think Garnett is the best guard in this draft. My only tidbit of concern is his pass protection, but I like him alot at the range you have him.

Matt Judon, with his production in college and his athletic measurements (compare favorably to Justin Houston), is one of my favorites in this draft if the Chiefs go for a pass rusher in the middle of the draft, but I think he'd have to go with their 4th round pick. Teams draft on measurements and projection often, and Judon has alot going for him in that department.

I'm not a fan of Hall, I think he doesn't have the hips to play CB in the NFL and I don't know if he has the size (he's rail thin on tape) and pop behind his pads to play safety.

I love Sims and think he's a real sleeper as a press corner. He's done well for himself through the offseason process.

You get these guys at KC's current picks where you have them slotted, I'd be pretty elated.

Hey! Thanks for the feedback gentleman, much appreciated!

This draft is more of a "if my wishes came true" draft, but there's a chance. Truthfully, I wouldn't be at all surprised if most of these guys go before the above positions.

Jackson or Coleman have become my top targets for the 1st! ...Nkemdiche being my third choice. Hoping one of them drops!

hitchief · 04-28-2016, 09:39 AM

yes, like your draft a lot and think the positions are slotted correctly for our needs.

I like Coleman a ton but also think he's gone by the time we pick. So, I love Sterling Shepard just as well and know a lot of people don't see him in the 1st but I really think he's gonna be a great slot in the pros (quick with enough straight line speed who runs good routes already and has great hands). Dorsey doesn't care how others rate a player, if he thinks they warrant the pick he takes them (kinda "bird in hand" type of thing)

As others have stated, Scooby is gonna go sooner than were we are in the 6th. If he drops due to the injury then maybe we take him with our 1st 5th rounder and then slide your other picks down accordingly. And I think David Onyemata can be had as a udfa so we win all the way around!!

Thank you for the input, and I'm all on board for sliding Onyemata and grabbing Scooby sooner!

I hear we're trying to shop Kniles Davis for a late round pick which could help.
