could live with it.. but not happy about it

I'm far from a draftubators fan after they tried to pull the old smoke and mirrors routine with what Sanchez's season was this year, but that's not bad; especially Graham at 2. I would prefer to see Bradford at #1 though.

1. Eric Berry/Dez Bryant (I can't decide, both would be play makers for us)
2. Branden Spikes ILB Florida
2. Eric Norwood OLB
3. Marshawn Gilyard WR Cincinatti
4. Maurice Pouncey C Florida
5. Eric Olsen OL Notre Dame
5. Cam Thomas NT North Carolina
5. Dennis Pitta TE BYU

Your 3rd and 4th rounders are second rounders, and your second rounders are 3rd rounders.

No way Thomas lasts to 5, either.

If I'm using a pick late in the draft and expecting to get a contributor, I'm drafting a LB or RB.

I was using NFL Draft Countdown as a point of reference and my pick fall right in line with their projections.

I've seen two sites that say the 3rd is too early for Pouncey.

It's all speculation, anyway. I'm just picking out things from the wish book.

Wright updates his lists infrequently.

Thomas' stock shot way up after the Sr. Bowl, and Spikes and Norwood have been trending down, especially Norwood who embarrassed himself in Mobile.

Pouncey has been projected as high as the late first, and is considered a solid second round pick that is unlikely to be at our 2b selection.

Gilyard at 3 is possible, but again, his stock has gone way up since the Sr. Bowl, when he put on his best Desean Jackson impersonation.

I disagree about Spikes. No way he falls to the 3rd round.

There's a really good chance he runs a 4.9 and drops like a rock.

1. Clausen - Good choice. I've been waiting since 1985 for the Chiefs to draft and develop a QB. I don't think the Chiefs do this at 5, but wouldn't be upset at all.

2a. Graham I think is a great pick at 2a, but I don't think he makes it out of Rd 1.

2b. Benn - No Thanks, not in any round. I think he's a bust waiting to happen.

3. Burnett - If he lasts here is a good pick. If you'd rather draft SS to replace Brown, I think Asante from Nebraska would be a good choice.

4. Troup - Great pick

5a. Sharpton - meh

5b. Blount- will never see the 5th round, but I like the way he runs.

5c. Scott - meh - probably about where he'll go.

Am I supposed to be unhappy with this mock draft?

1. S - Eric Berry
2a. OLB - Brandon Graham
2b. ILB - Brandon Spikes
3. NT - Cam Thomas
4. RB - LaGarrett Blount/Montario Hardesty
5. OT - Chris Scott
5. C - Eric Olsen
5. WR - Jacoby Ford
6. QB - Ryan Perriloux

No. I thought you would be thrilled with it. I did it as a tribute to the drafturbators with guys that I felt would be legitimate picks for the Chiefs. (See, I can maintain objectivity in looking at the draft from a couple different angles and not become completely unglued because someone mentions a certain position for a possible draft pick.)

I recognize that Cassel is the transition qb. At 28, he was brought in to provide a higher degree of understanding of the game and leadership than what the Chiefs had in Thigpen and Croyle. I don't think that he was ever viewed to be the QBOTF from a long term perspective. While I'm not sold on Clausen, his familiarity with the system and our new OC would be a huge plus in terms of coming in and being prepared to be the QBOTF. And he isn't without skills as he was the #1 QB prospect coming out of HS, played in a pro style set in college, played hurt, and is very accurate.

Graham would give the Chiefs a legit pass rusher that could play either side. I like Kindle a bit better because of his height, length and athleticism, but Graham is perhaps a bit better pure pass rusher. Very quick first step and a high motor. Hughes would also be a option here as he possesses a lot of the same intangibles as Graham, but is a bit taller.

Burnett, while receiving less press than Berry, had a nearly identical career and like Berry, had a monster sophomore season. (Maybe even better.) He's a bit taller than Berry (though perhaps not as fast) and possesses the same intangibles. For those guys hoping for Berry in the first, Burnett would be the same guy at the same position and you'd get him a lot cheaper. Insane value at that point.

Benn is the classic boom/bust guy that drafturbators love. We have huge holes at the WR positions, and Benn has all the talent in the world. He's big, athletic and has soft hands, though he has had some reported issues with drops. If Illinois had a better offense, he might have been the first WR chosen in the draft.

Troup is a powerful and athletic DT with excellent size (6'3", 320 lbs.). He could easily add another 20 pounds or more and anchor the middle in a 3-4 format.

Sharpton is being overlooked because of Spikes and McClain, but he is every bit the type of MLB that has been part of the UMiami tradition. He's a bit undersized, but very athletic and is a huge hitter. He's also very smart off the field.

Blount is the change of pace back that the Chiefs need to support Charles. Big, with very good speed. He's got something to prove after the fight suspension and would be well worth a gamble in the fifth based on his potential alone.

Scott is an enormous RT prospect that played LT at Tennessee. Was the anchor for a UT offensive line that only gave up four sacks for the entire 2009 season. If he's here in the fifth, he'll be the best RT prospect left in the draft and a steal for a Chiefs offensive line that needs a quality drive blocker on the right side.

Drafturbators do not pick Big 12 Spread quarterbacks. Ever. This is the #1 rule of being a drafturbator.

This is a pipe dream.

This is what happens when you co-opt the verbiage of a know-nothing ****tard. You become one.

See comments made relative to Gabbert, Blaine. Then, proceed to the Alomar Forest.

We have tons of other needs and more than likely a player for one of those positions will be there yet we're taking Clausen at #5 and paying him huge money when we just gave Cassel a big contract and the current regime is behind him?

*sigh*

Ooooook.

I was waiting for that. I know you like Gabbert. It's so out of character that it's damn near comical.

Yes, by all means, let's compound one mistake with another.

By the way, I have a Drafturbators addendum. Darryl Sharpton has been removed from the list and Micah Johnson has been inserted in his place. Both play MLB, but Johnson is substantially larger, and possesses a super human physique. (Something that a true drafturbator demands from at least one of their draft picks.) Sharpton is a redundant pick as we basically have the same guy on our roster in Belcher. My mistake on the correct drafturbator middle linebacker.

Carry on.

Exactly...if you really want a QB, wait for Locker next year.

Clausen is not the answer, Cassel or no Cassel.

So, your idea is, count on the unlikely event that this team, as bad as it is, will have the first overall pick?

Ehhhh good point lol.

just was trying to make the point that drafting Clausen would be beyond moronic.
Posted via Mobile Device

Right. Except it wouldn't be.

Soooo we have needs on both lines, CB, LB, WR, and Safety yet we're going to pay top 5 money to a QB who has no business being taken that high to sit behind Cassel?

Sorry I just fail to see how that's a "good idea". Like it or not, Haley and Pioli are hitched to Cassel and aren't going to give up on him after one or two seasons.

I can't believe anyone would advocate taking Clausen over Berry, Bryant, or even friggin Okung.

This is the same shit that's been said 3 years running now. No, not MATT RYAN, HE SUCKS......NOT STAFFORD, NOT SANCHEZ, THEY SUCK.

:facepalm:

Well seeing as Matt Ryan nor Stafford weren't there when we picked its kinda hard to compare the situations.

Its not about Clausen being bad or whatever, it just is illogical.
Posted via Mobile Device

It isn't hard to compare the situations. There are people here every year who shoot down the idea of drafting a QB high, the reasons change, but the faces never do.

And it isn't illogical to nail down the most important position on the field if you have the opportunity to do so, especially when you have a stiff at the position, no matter how much money he's making.

Yeah because Clausen is such a sure thing.
Posted via Mobile Device

No less so than Bryant, Okung, or any of the others.

I'm not saying take Clausen over Berry......but saying that Clausen isn't good is ****ing stupid.

I would love to have Clausen...

Make 2010 Matt Cassel's make or break year...

and if he breaks, like everyone expects, at least we have a top tier, top talent guy ready to take over in 2011...

If Cassel plays well I can't find a negative either...

I'd rather have 2 QB's than 0 QB's...

and if we're going to pay two 3-4 ends $60M guaranteed we might as well pay two QB's $60M guaranteed...

There really isn't a negative. If Cassel plays well.......then you can decide to keep him another year and let Clausen sit on the bench or you can trade away Cassel and hand the team over to Clausen. It's not like Clausen would be making a HUGE amount of money in the first 2 years of his deal anyways.

yeah he'll make probably around 28 or 30 guaranteed if we take him at #5...that's a huge contract any way you look at it

Drew Blesdoe signed a 100 million dollar contract in 2001 with the Patriots.

Yeah....but if there is no salary cap....does it really matter?

There it is.

"I'm all for drafting a QB, if he's a sure thing."

...and the hooooooooome of theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee CHIEFS.

Yeah its so much to ask that he be a little more of a sure thing at #5, paying what it would take and when we have more pressing needs.

Silly me.

Its funny because the people clamoring for Clausen would be the first to railroad Pioli and Haley if he's a bust and if he passed on Berry, etc.

Hey now that mock is far better than the true fan one, you gave the Chiefs 3 first rounders.

Such a ****ing hypocrite.

You blew a ****ing gasket, saying I "ruined" the 2009 Mock Draft when I drafted Sanchez.

Now, a year later, you're tooting the Clausen horn, saying that there's nothing wrong with paying two QBs.

JFC.

From the top:

Consider the source man.

Oh, I know.

Well perhaps they think of Cassel as a failure as much of the rest of us now...

A little different scenario moron...

You really think we were going to spend our top two draft choices and 60M on QB's last year?

Apples and oranges.

Yeah, the moron is the one who drafted the real franchise QB and not the one who gave 120 million to Tyson Jackson and Matt Cassel.

****, we could have drafted Sanchez, given Cassel that ridiculous contract, and just started Magee and would have gotten the same ****ing production.

Goddamn, you are one duplicitous ****.**


And Cassel was not on the hook for that stupid contract yet, either.

Any mock without Freddie Barnes is rubbish...................

Shit...

If we took Clausen maybe Cassel was a godsend for us...

Considering I don't think Sanchez is really "all that"...

A 63 QB rating for a season for sure does not = "all that".

It doesn't, but he was much better down the stretch and played well in the playoffs. You just want to see improvement in a rookie QB. He showed it, but he was also in a REALLY good situation for a rook to be in. Good OL, running game, and defense.
