One and Only Chiefs Mock
 

2. Juan Thornhill, S, Virginia
2. Trayvon Mullen, CB, Clemson
3. Miles Boykin, WR, Notre Dame
5. Foster Moreau, TE, LSU
6. Ross Pierschbacher, C, Alabama
6. Myles Gaskin, RB, Washington
7. Sione Takitaki, LB, BYU

I’m good with it.

I like.

I think Omenihu is gone by pick 50, and Boykin that high is a bit rich for my liking. I do like the list however. A lot of needs checked off with talent that can contribute sooner than later.

Jerry Tillery + Chris Jones would be a great combo.

Was thinking about doing my own but I would also have taken Tillery round 1.

I just think while the obvious needs are CB/DE, there's a good chance the top 3 CB and top 5 DE are gone by 20. I think a big trade up, like giving up the 2020 1st round pick, is a bad idea. A trade up a few spots to 24 or something I'd be fine with.

If we're standing pat, I think the most likely falling positions on D are DT and S. I'd love if Tillery fell to us, and I'd also be okay with a Thornhill or Gardener Johnson.

Mostly meh on Mullen, Boykin might be too early and Gaskin probably going before late 6th.

For those of you that think the 2nd is too early for Boykin

In that case, I'd pass.

The guy is 6’4” 220 lbs with a 4.42 40 and 6.77 3 cone

He has #1 WR upside and is great insurance for Tyreek IMO.

I’d prefer a Samuel or Campbell, but they’ll be gone.

He also has good probability of being another Chris Conley.

Not saying no, but not in the 2nd in a draft like this. If someone else wants to do it, hey great for them. But it shouldn't be us.

I disagree with that comparison. Conley never flashed that athleticism on the field like Boykin and a lot of that is because of his bad 3 cone time. Boykin doesn’t lack agility like Conley and it shows on tape. He just plays faster period.

Agree with Bryan. Personally I'm either hoping Samuel, Isabella, Campbell, or Butler is somehow there at the back of the 2nd, if not then WR maybe not the pick until later.

You can disagree all you want, but I think it applies. You're drafting more on the workout numbers and they're both guys that didn't run great routes or could beat press.

Boykin also had 800+ yards and 8 TD’s last season. Way better than any season Conley ever had with worse QB play. Disagree all you want, but it’s a lazy comparison.

The guy looks like a better version of Chris Conley, especially with that 3 cone time.

Notre Dame didn’t really have a great QB situation

Yes that's definitely well understood, so I'm not saying "**** taking this guy before late"

There are some significant flaws even with the QB situation considered.

Pretty good draft. I'd be extremely satisfied with it excluding Trayvon Mullen. Unless the plan is to groom him to play single high he's not even worth drafting IMO. From what I've seen he's the least stickiest of the high end corners - and that's in large part because he can’t flip his hips fast enough.

I think you can find better corners in round 2 so I'd pass on Mullen.

I completely disagree about his hips and most scouting reports seems to agree.

Parris Campbell is actually my favorite WR in this draft, but I also really like Boykin.

We have no shot at Campbell unless we take him in the 1st, and I'm not sure I'd be willing to do that. Boykin in the late 2nd is still something I would be iffy towards, but in either case, I'd be happy we got a great player.

That's your argument? LMAO

Yeah I'll disagree all dang day.

I’m not saying that Boykin doesn’t have his weaknesses. I’m just saying he’s a better prospect than Conley. He was more productive with worse QB play, and doesn’t lack agility, so he’s actually capable of improving his route running significantly. You pretending that’s not the case is funny though.

Love Pierschbacher, but I'm incredibly biased. Great kid from a great family.

We don't need a ****ing RB! Why do people keep drafting one. And I'm quite sure we'll draft at least 2 DB's. Fuller and Breeland are on 1 year deals.

anyone from round 4 on is like a 10% success rate.

Taking depth and competition late is the name of the game.

If you hit on a guy, hey, great.

It's building the roster from the bottom up. Don't worry about it.

:facepalm:

I'd be okay with those top 3 and I can live with Omenihu in the late 3rd even if I view him as a 5th round guy. After that, I don't care but I kind of like it. Piersbacher probably doesn't fit the mold for Reid centers but he's a good player.

Updated after Clark trade

Pretty ambitious on a good amount of these picks probably

I’m going by respected draft guys rankings with these, so I don’t see how.

Yea there’s talk about Thornhill going much higher than that, but you’ve heard that about Adderley, Thompson, Rapp, CGJ, Abram, and now there are reports saying Savage might be the first safety off the board. Veach talking about this safety class makes me think it’s not nearly as good as CP thinks it is. These guys are all going lower than we expected.

I don’t think any of these are incredibly unrealistic.

It's not. A lot of options if you're looking for a guy on Friday, but the fact that none of these guys can separate from the rest is a big red flag. Corner sort of the same.

If Thornhill is there at 61 I'd hope the Chiefs run that pick to the podium, but I retain the thought he's going to be the lone round 1 safety taken. I do think a couple of safeties will drop to that range though and wouldn't be surprised to see the ones with more issues like Gardner-Johnson (tackling) and Thompson (frame/experience) drop a bit.

You could be right, but at this point I wouldn’t be shocked if any of the safeties made it to us, even Adderley. There’s just so many conflicting reports.

Maybe putting Thornhill there is a tad bit wishful thinking, because like Adderley because he’s a perfect fit :D

I got juan right :D
