1st round - Kansas City Chiefs: Brian Orakpo, DE, Texas
If you're not a Chiefs fan, chances are you won't know this. OK, guess how many sacks Kansas City's defense has as a whole this season.

Fifteen? Way off. Ten? Nope. Five? Not even!

The Chiefs have four sacks on the year! Four freaking sacks! They foolishly traded away Jared Allen prior to the 2008 Draft, while moving Tamba Hali to right end failed miserably. Hali, now back at left end, needs a dominant pass-rusher across from him to once again play at his 2007 level.

That man can be Brian Orakpo. Through nine games, Orakpo has 13.5 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks, as he's established himself as the premier defensive end in this draft class. Kansas City's young defense would greatly benefit from having him rushing the opposing quarterback.

Quarterback was an option, but Tyler Thigpen has played extremely well the past two weeks, so the Chiefs could have something with him.


2nd round - Kansas City Chiefs: Brandon Spikes, ILB, Florida
Napoleon Harris was Kansas City's middle linebacker when the season began. That failed miserably, as Harris was cut a few weeks ago. Pat Thomas took Harris' spot, and based on Kansas City's defensive rankings - click here for accurate NFL Run, Pass Defensive Rankings - it hasn't exactly worked out too well.


3rd round - Kansas City Chiefs: Derrick Williams, WR, Penn State
If Tyler Thigpen keeps improving and proves to be Kansas City's quarterback of the future, he'll need another receiver to throw to besides Dwayne Bowe. Bowe and Derrick Williams would be an awesome receiver combination, assuming the latter pans out.

I'm happy with the first two rounds....but I think I'd change the 3rd round pick to Phil Loadholt, OT, Oklahoma.

Like that pick too.

But I think that Williams could be a receiver like DeSean Jackson in Philadelphia. A quick strike to him and he is gone. Also a great punt returner.

Herm no likey the little guys.

He will struggle in the NFL. Too slow.

Brian Orakpo=vernon gholston!

terrible. Orakpo has flaws.

What he said.

I'd take Craig Urbik in the third and Fenoki Tupou in the fourth.

There is an updated mock draft up as of today. Nothing has changed for us. The only noticeable change is that the Raiders are taking Taylor Mays at 5.

Orakpo if Stafford isn't there. The footage I've seen of this kid makes me think of ol' Neil Smith on the end. I'd love to get that kind of pressure on the opposing QB again. With our interceptions that we've already gotten without a pass rush just imagine our turnover ratio with one!! PBJ

That's an extremely favorable mock just be aware...

Very - thats best case scenario if we cant get a quarterback.

New one up as of today.

1st - Brian Orakpo
2nd - Brandon Spikes
3rd - Derrick Williams

Nothing has changed.
