[Ebolapox]

Feh.

[Munson]

They did a good job of simulating King Carl's drafting abilities, because that mock is horrible. They pass on Hali, Lawson, Wimbley, and Kiwanuka for Jonathan Joseph? Talk about a reach. If we were to reach for a CB, I'd rather it be Cromartie.

[Mecca]

Almost everyone is projecting Joseph to go between 17-24. So people really don't think that's reach.

I don't know that he's a reach, but this is a terrible draft.

The only decent pick in this mock for the Chiefs is Slay.

[Mecca]

It's funny but the Chiefs will get lambasted alot harder from the Draft guys if they take Hali or Kiwanuka at 20, than if they take Joseph.

[milkman]

You're probably right, but that doesn't make them, or you right about the picks.

[Mecca]

Cromarties still "my guy" in this draft so I'd rather not take any of those guys.

[Spicy McHaggis]

Tamba Hali eats nails for breakfast and shits Jonathan Joseph.

[htismaqe]

The thing about this mock that's good or bad depending on who you'd like to see the Chiefs draft is that THR is usually very good at hitting the 1st round of the draft...

[melbar]

I doubt we go Tackle in the second with Tapp, Wright , and Harris available on the line. I also think we would grab Stovall or Hagan first in the second.

[Coogs]

I put this in Mecca's other mock draft thread. Thought I would repost it here for viewing ease...

Let's play with this one a little bit using this point system...

http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/fe...valuechart.html

...The Saints #2 pick is worth 2600
...The Jets #4 pick is worth 1800, so the Jets need 800 more points.
...Our #20 pick is worth 850. If the Jets had this pick, they could trade #4 and #20 to the Saints, and keep their other four overall picks by making a trade (two pick swap actually) with us. Here it is...

...Our #20 which is worth 850 and
...Our #54 which is worth 360, for a total of 1210 points

FOR

...The Jets #29 which is worth 640 points and
...The Jets #35 which is worth 550 points, for a total of 1190 points.


The Jets get to #2 and get thier man, and we two players at 29 and 35 who could both start and help this team. Use either this mock draft, or the Huddle's 7 rounder, and pick your two players at 29 and 35.

Enjoy!

[chiefscafan]

I have to agree that draft is horrible I think I would throw something at the tv. Avant is yet another #2 or #3 receiver that doesn't help us.

[Coogs]

I have to agree that draft is horrible I think I would throw something at the tv. Avant is yet another #2 or #3 receiver that doesn't help us.

You know, Gun proved in the mid 90's that if you give him 4 Pro-Bowlers in the secondary, a Pro-Bowler or two at the DT spots, and two potential HOF'ers in DT and Neil Smith, that he can put together a pretty fair defense.

Without that kind of talent, Gun has not done squat.

We better draft a lot of defenders, and they better be studs.

[htismaqe]

I have to agree that draft is horrible I think I would throw something at the tv. Avant is yet another #2 or #3 receiver that doesn't help us.

IMO, no WR helps us that much. We don't need a true #1 WR in this offense.

[booger]

RD 1: I like Joeseph but he is a JUCO transfer and missed most of his soph season with injury. Richard Marshall might be a better prospect IMO. Pretty close with those two.

No way can we pass on Wimbley or Lawson. Way too much potential even though they are undersized. Even Hali is probably a better pick with his all around game at DE. With those three on the board I'd hate to see us take a CB.

RD 2: I wouldn't mind seeing us find a future LT. Svitek is showing promise in NFLEL though. I like College but like Jonathon Scott Better. Charles Spencer would be a prospect at G or RT. Tapp would be a good pickup if we didn't get an End in RD 1. I don't see Dallas taking Bing with Roy Williams and him being both SS's IMO. Bing would be a good pick here. McCargo is rising as of late and Stoval would be a good pick, A big WR who excelled in Weis's offense which is similar in ways to ours.

I would go with Cedric Griffin here.

RD 3:
Avant i could live with that. Jennings is a good WR prospect as well.
Harper and Greg Blue would be 2 safties worth a look here.
Ray Edwards and Victor Adeyanju as DE's if we havn't got one in RD 1 or 2. I think Croyle would be the best pick and could probably challenge Huard for the backup Job so we could keep Printers as #3.

RD 5:
I know LB isn't a need but with Mitchell set for FA after '06 Kai Parham is a very good value pick here. I don't see Scanlon as the future MLB and Grigsby has to prove his worth as a LB yet. I hope we resign Mitchell but this would be a insurance pick in case. Clemmens as a QB or Spitz at G make sense. Maybe McNeal as a WR prospect. Brian Iwuh from Colorado is kind of a Donnie Edwards clone, an undersized LB. Some teams like him as a SS prospect as well.

RD 6:

OG Adam Stenavich, C prospects Philip and Riola, and Slay all make sense.

I like the small school prospects Hatcher DE and Miles Austin from Monmouth here.

RD 7:
Humes or Riggs Jr. as big backs to backup LJ.


So I'll pick:
RD1: Lawson DE NC State
2: Griffin Cb Texas
3: Croyle Qb ' Bama
5: Rashad Butler OT Miami
6: Jason Hatcher DE Grambling ST.
6: Miles Austin WR Monmouth
7: Charlie Peprah S 'Bama

[ChiefsCountry]

The best pick out of that mock is the last one. I think Meyer could be a good QB.

[BigChiefFan]

Again... generate a pass-rush and the secondary becomes better. We need a corner, but not as much as D-line help.

Please, don't act like Tamba Hali is Mario Williams. The cold hard fact is the odds are the best players when we pick are going to be corners. Antonio Cromartie has more talent than Hali has ever dreamed of having......

Dude,
How about allowing someone else to have a differing opinion than yours? Cromartie is a ****ing project compared to Hali, look at the college numbers and then tell me. Hali produced for 3 and half years as a STARTER. How many gmes did Cromartie START? Cromartie has numbers that translate well to the next level, but don't question me about Hali when he has PRODUCED as the collegiate levels on one of the BEST defnese this past year.

Your questioning Hali is laughable, especially considering you have Cromartie ranked higher.

[Mecca]

How about the fact that you can get Cromartie in the first then turn around and get Daryl Tapp in the 2nd? Tapp ranks out right with Hali and also has a much more bonified mean streak. I don't like the idea of reaching for Hali when basically the same player by a different name is going to likely be available with our next pick.

Cromartie is the one that I see falling. His lack of experience and his history of injuries will keep some teams from pulling the trigger on him early, IMO. His speed is what teams covet and some teams question if he can return to form after his injuries. Plus this draft is DEEP for CBs and not DEs. We can still get a QUALITY CB in round 2.

Such as? I think the dropoff from the Tye Hill/Antonio Cromartie we'll have a shot at in the first is much greater than the difference in Hali and Tapp.

It is deep in CB's but there's going to be atleast 10 of them off the board by our 2nd pick. Every team in the NFL covets corners, Cromartie will not make it out of the first round.

Again, this draft is DEEP for CBs, so SOME of the top-rated guys could fall and even if they don't, there will be plenty of talent, here's some names, since you asked...

Kelly Jennings
Richard Marshall
Cedric Griffin
Alan Zemaitus
DeMario Minter
Marcus Maxey
Danieal Manning
Darrell Hunter
Eric Bassey

Plus I think some of the top guys will fall in the draft, most likely Cromartie, IMO. There's too many question marks with his experience.

:bravo:

Cromartie is a huge gamble IMO. He may turn out to be a stud, but with so many glaring holes on our defense the way it is, to draft an injured player at #20 is just to big of a gamble.

Shoot, even Mecca stated in a thread over on the Lounge that we need many other players on the D to run the cover two effectively.

Ok Jennings ranks right around there.....I'm not to big on Marshall. Griffin is a tweener.

Now after that the rest of those guys are 3rd round and lower.....and Manning is a safety.

Yes teams do covet DE's but I don't think they'll go nearly as quickly as the corners will in this draft. There are upwards of 10 DB's that have first round grades.

And are you actually saying you'd rather pick Tamba Hali and Richard Marshall than Antonio Cromartie and Daryl Tapp?

[Mecca]

I don't think we're disagreeing on what the team needs, I think we're disagreeing on what the better course is. I think we'll get better value going CB then DE than vice versa. Yes Cromartie is "my guy" but I'd take Tye Hill in the first just as quickly before any of those DE's.

A Defensive END will go BEFORE a CB this year, so you're losing ground with that basis of your argument.

Again since there are SO MANY CBs that grade out to a 1st round grade, doesn't mean that there will be a huge run on them, quite the contray, IMO, because teams know they can get a CB later, with little fall off, because SOME of those top guys will fall. It's the law of supply and demand and the supply outweighs the demand.

Also, I KNOW some of the guys I mentioned are 2nd round and LOWER, that's EXACTLY why I mentioned them in the first place, so you can see there will be players AVAILABLE to us after our 1st round pick.

[Mecca]

Well I think we need a corner that can start right now.....maybe that's where we differ.

Mario Williams is the one premier end in this draft, so yes he's going before corners. After that corners will start going, Manny Lawson will get mixed in likely to a 3-4 team. Then after that I don't think Hali or Kiwanuka come into play till about 5-6 of the corners are off the board.

At our pick I see it like this if Jimmy Williams(despite I think he's a FS at the NFL level), Antonio Cromartie, and Tye Hill are off the board then I consider trading down and taking Hali.

BPA should be the strategy so I think those 3 guys rate above Hali or any end we'll have a shot at.

[Mr. Laz]

a draft to make ya go ..... bleh

[ct]

I like Joseph's potential, but @20 that sure seems like a reach. Could take him a year or 2 to develop. Now he may actually be selected around then, but I'd rather it not beus that high w/out a trade down.

The 2nd round pick ticks me off, with guys like this still on the board?

55 BENGALS DT John McCargo North Carolina St
58 PANTHERS DE Darryl Tapp Virginia Tech
59 BUCCANEERS OT Jonathan Scott Texas
62 COLTS DT Orien Harris Miami
Round 3
65 TEXANS WR Maurice Stovall Notre Dame

I also like Avant in the 3rd(if we missed on Stovall), but the rest I have no idea who those guys are.

[Mecca]

Jason Avant of the 4.8 40..........that's awfully slow.

[BigChiefFan]

I'd rather see us go after Martin Nance than Avant.

[Mecca]

Personally I think if it's breaking down like this Anthony Smith or Greg Blue would be a better pick for us. We need to get a talented safety somewhere in this draft.

[Mr. Kotter]

We'll know how committed Herm is to revamping the D quickly....if he is serious, he will draft at least 4 Defensive players: DE, DT, CB, and S.

:bravo:

I agree with you. I like the "2nd tier" of corners better than the second tier DE's and I believe the Chiefs have a better chance of being able to draft talent at the corner spot in the second/third round than they would at DE. Whew.

The corner draft is just so much more top heavy in rounds 1-3 that there are going to be some guys that fall to us after round one, whereas we can get caught with our finger up our ass if we're hoping that Tapp or Adeyanju are there in the 2nd and third respectively.

Also just read your other post, I like Nance better than Avant too.

All this said though we have so many holes that can be filled by this draft the only way I'm going to be dissappointed is if we take a offensive player in the first.

Problem being there's 1 frontline DE and we don't have a shot at him. You want to take a 2nd tier DE in the first round over a 1st tier CB......

There is no corner in this years draft comparable to Mario Williams at DE. Mario is a blue chip DE with no real flaws. All the top corners in this years draft have question marks - especially your beloved Cromartie.

No shit sherlock, Mario Williams is the one 1st tier DE in this draft. We have no shot at him so I basically don't even count him when I talk about the ends. All of the rest of them are 2nd tier guys and lower.

Tamba Hali is the perfect DE.....underweight, slow, short arms. By god I hope that's our first round pick. Nothing says Chiefs draft like taking the 2nd round talent in the middle of the first round.

I know...it's the only one I could find........I wanted to find one that had his awesome INT against the Canes but sadly I couldn't find it anywhere.

Just razzing you, I like Cromartie I'm just wary of boom or bust prospects because we've done poorly in the past.

Sorry Mecca, but you're blinded by our biggest need position. Cromartie has 2nd round written all over him. He is a project!

Not really blinded, I think he's going to he the best player in the league we have a shot at, at 20. When I look at the values I have on players who's going to be there in the next round, I have him as the guy we should take.

How about the fact that you can get Cromartie in the first then turn around and get Daryl Tapp in the 2nd? Tapp ranks out right with Hali and also has a much more bonified mean streak. I don't like the idea of reaching for Hali when basically the same player by a different name is going to likely be available with our next pick.

We could trade down in the first, get Hali/Kiwi/Lawson in the late first/early second. We could then use our 2nd round pick for BPA. We could then use our 3rd rounder on a CB like Zemaitis, Philips or Minter who would probably contributed as much as Cromartie. We would still have that pick we got in trade which we could use to grab a good potential safety like Daniel Manning or another pretty good player.

And that is where we are just gonna have to disagree. I don't see a part-time rehabbing player anywhere near the 20th BAP.

I doubt Lawson makes it out of the top 15 or so. Shawne Merriman, part deux.

Mocks have been weird with Lawson. I have seen plenty of drafts with him going to the Browns at #12, but I have also seen him falling all the way to the beginning of the second round. He is talented enough to get taken by the Browns at #12, but I will keep my hopes that he pulls a DJ and falls.
