ChiefsCountry's Final 2012 Chiefs Mock

1. Dont'a Hightower, LB, Alabama

Sort of a shocker pick, but this is who I think the Chiefs will go after. Even though they tendered Belcher a 2nd rounder, basically that was to keep other teams away IMO. Hightower was the heart and soul of the Alabama defense. The Chiefs defense will get an upgrade to the linebacking core and with Belcher as a backup gives us a deep linebacking core.

2. Harrison Smith, S, Notre Dame

Gives the Chiefs another starter in the secondary. Can play either strong or free safety. Could give the Chiefs the freedom to put Eric Berry at free safety or vice versa. Chiefs improve depth on the team as well allowing Kendrick Lewis to be the 3rd safety.

3. Ben Jones, C, Georgia

Chiefs nab a potential starter in the 3rd for the center position. Allows Hudson to stay at guard, which would put Lilja as a backup, improving depth on the line.

4. AJ Jenkins, WR, Illinois

Chiefs nab a solid WR out of the Big Ten. Basically we pick up WR#4 and depth with this selection. I like Jenkins alot. Solid football player in the 4th round.

5. Andrew Datko, OT, Florida State

Chiefs have zero depth at OT behind Albert and Winston. They have Mims and that is it. Datko can play both right and left tackle. He does have some injury issues but we are looking at depth not a starter, so its not as critical.

6. Adam Gettis, G/C, Iowa

Another depth draft pick. Gettis fits our zone blocking scheme perfectly. He can play either guard or center.

7. Brandon Bolden, RB, Mississippi

A big back who can help spell Charles and Hillis.

7. James Hanna, TE, Oklahoma

Atheltic tight end who could be a sleeper pick IMO. Gets rid of the Jake O'Connell stink as well.
