My new Chiefs Mock - Three weeks to the actual event

Saccopoo · 04-02-2009, 12:29 PM

Straight draft. No trade down scenarios. Includes a secondary option.

1. Aaron Curry - LB; Wake Forest
- We all know that half this place doesn't think you take this position in the top ten, and half thinks you take the best player available in a position of great need. I'm the later. Chiefs are desperate for decent linebackers, Curry is one, and he also happens to be what most consider to be the best player in this draft.

Option: Eugene Monroe - OT; Virginia

3. Kraig Urbik - OG; Wisconsin
- Could be drafted for either the RG or RT spot. Either way, he'd give the Chiefs a massive, ill-tempered road grader on the right side of the line.

Option: Cody Brown - LB; Connecticut

4. Henry Melton - DE; Texas
- A project in the mold of, say, Connor Barwin in that he's only been playing the DE for two seasons, but is athletic and has size.

Option: Fenuki Tupou - OL; Oregon

5. Austin Collie - WR; BYU
- Big, runs great routes, makes acrobatic catches, smart, is fast/quick on the field and runs well after the catch. Isn't afraid to mix it up physically. I hate BYU, but this guy is the real deal.

Option: Clinton McDonald - DT; Memphis

6. Louie Sakoda - K/P; Utah
- Funny to see that with two first day picks in Paul Kruger and Sean Smith on the roster as well as qb Brian Johnson, that King Louie was the BMOC in Salt Lake City. Helped the Utes win a number of games that they shouldn't have won, and is the coolest guy under pressure I've ever seen kicking the ball. Is an All-American at both kicking and punting and can fill two roster spots. Makes everything from 50 and in. Smart, calm, cool and collected. Chiefs have had a problem with kickers recently, and a good kicker wins you some games that you might otherwise lose. (See Jason Elam in '07.)

Option: Rulon Davis - DE; California

7. Mortty Ivy - LB; West Virginia
- Not fast, but incredibly instinctive and makes plays all over the field. Just seems to be where the ball is on every play.

Option: Javarris Williams - RB; Tennessee State

IF Curry can be an OLB, then I could see the "position of great need" argument.

As it stands though, even if we go full 3-4, we already have a top 15 pick at ILB, we don't really NEED another one.

Overall, I like the mock, though.

Austin Collie will probably be gone by the 5th but it would be a steal at that spot.

I really hope we end up with Brian Robiskie...Just throwing that out there.

Why?

The Chiefs have Dwayne Bowe and Will Franklin. Why do they need another possession receiver?

They're missing a "burner". If Bradley could stay healthy, the Chiefs would have a very dynamic receiving corp.

But Robiskie doesn't really improve the Chiefs at this time. He's just more of the same.

I hope we trade down and end up with Everette Brown to hold down DE in the 4-3 and OLB in the 3-4 and then Rey Maualuga to hold down MLB and ILB.

I'm sorry, I don't see those guys as "Impact" players.

Both of them individually could have more impact than Curry, let alone together.

They have more big play ability than Curry could dream about. Don't get me wrong Curry has all the talent in the wrong, he just doesn't make big plays. He is very solid and consistent though.

Chiefnj2 · 04-03-2009, 09:48 AM

What's an impact play? If he takes good angles and wraps up his player and is consistent, isn't that better than a guy who goes for the kill and misses 30% of the time but forces a few fumbles during the course of the year?

6 of one, one half dozen of the other.

I think a guy that misses 30% of the time but forces a fumble 30% of the time is slightly more valuable than a guy who misses 5% of the time but forces a fumble 5% of the time.

Nobody forces fumbles 30% of the time.
