AFC West mock draft: Take I

Now that every team in AFC West is done with their 2012 season, here is my first AFC West mock draft for the teams' first-round picks. We will periodically update as we move closer to the April draft:

1. Kansas City Chiefs: DL, Star Lotulelei, Utah: It’s been well documented that there are no great position fits for the Chiefs at this spot. This is a top player who would add even more young talent to this defense.

3. Oakland Raiders: DE, Damontre Moore, Texas A&M: The Raiders will fill a big defensive need no matter where they go, and right now I think Dennis Allen gets a fellow Aggie. The ceiling is high for Moore.

11. San Diego Chargers: CB, Dee Milliner, Alabama: The Chargers’ top need is tackle, but some key players went back to school so I don’t know if there is a fit here. Milliner can be a dynamic player and the Chargers will have a need. San Diego will have options, but I like Milliner here.

28. Denver Broncos: DT, Kawann Short, Purdue: The Broncos will likely take the best available defensive player. Right now, I think it is Short. Denver has gotten better at this position, but it could use some more help.

Given Dorsey's committment to taking the "best player on the board", I can see him moving away from the QB position...and then the Planet imploded.

B.Dub is a reeruned fat piece of garbage

Star and Warmak are the best players in the draft and you guys are complaining?

I disagree with Dane, you draft a QB #1 no matter what, end of story. There is nobody in this draft that is so outstanding at any other position to take them ahead of one of these QBs.

That's pretty much how I see it. Everyone is saying that none of the QBs are worth the #1 pick this year. But when you look at talent + need, I don't see any players that are worth more to us than Geno.

So you agree it's ok to waste the #1 pick of the draft?

I'm not "scared" at all. I think that Dorsey & Reid will do what's best for the franchise. If they choose a QB at #1 overall, great. If they don't, whatever. Unlike Pioli, I trust Reid's QB evaluations probably more than anyone else in the league.

I'm not hell bent that the first pick MUST be a QB. I'd be shocked if this team isn't picking in the Top Ten again in 2014 so if Reid doesn't like his starting QB next year, he'll evaluate them again.

Our DL would be SICK

Which is a terrible message to send when you haven't won a playoff game in nearly 20 years. I may be a Smith guy, but I don't care who it is, take Wilson, hell, take Barkley if that's who you like. Just take one. It's time. The statement they make needs to be "look, there's finally some hope!" Star Lotulelei, god bless him, doesn't send that message. Neither does Luke Joeckel or Jarvis Jones. Picking one of those guys now, even after Reid, even after Dorsey, is just going to deflate the balloon. Energy, gone. Excitement, gone. This team needs a face, someone that's going to excite people, someone that's going to make them believe that things can get better. Yes, that's a lot of weight to put on a rookie's shoulders, and yes, maybe the guy will bust. But they can't keep making safe decisions, and the franchise will never move forward if they continue to predicate the moves they make on what might happen if they're wrong. Enough with the defeatist crap. Identify the guy. Take him. Enjoy some success for a change.

THIS.

Every player available is a waste. Don't need a LT. Don't need a DT.

htismaqe · 01-15-2013, 12:46 PM

It's really funny reading the stuff about Star.

He's NOT a 3-4 DT.

whoman69 · 01-15-2013, 01:47 PM

Yes, it makes perfect sense for the Chiefs to draft a DT for the third consecutive year.
