I said earlier I would give you guys a peek into my draft board I set out for the Chiefs going into this. Here is what I had hoped for going into the draft:
1st Round Target – Akeem Ayers, OLB, UCLA
Back Up = Phil Taylor, DT, Baylor; Gabe Crimi, OT, Wisconsin
2nd Round Target – Jerrell Powe, NT, Mississippi
Back Up= Ryan Mallett, QB, Arkansas; Rodney Hudson, G, Florida State
3rd Round Target – Kelvin Shepperd, LB, LSU
Back Up = Sione Fua, DT, Stanford; DeMarco Murray, RB, Oklahoma
4th Round Target – James Carpenter, OT, Alabama
Back Up = Terrence Tolliver, WR, LSU; Marcus Gilbert, OT
5th Round Target – Kris O’Dowd, C, USC
Back Up = James Brewer, OT, Indiana; Tim Barnes, C, Missouri
5th Round Target – Nathan Enderlee, QB, Idaho
Back Up = Stevan Ridley, RB, LSU; Mario Fannin, RB, Auburn
Well of course I got my first round pick, the second was something I had not planned for at all. I figured Wisniewski would have been gone before I selected in the second. I had him late first/early second. Him falling into my lap pushed Powe down to the 3rd, which I sweated out and got my man. In the 4th all of my picks got chosen ahead of me - but I didn't expect Pettis to be available. Had him as a late 3rd/early 4th. Same thing in the 5th, which really screwed with my board bc Wisniewski pick I had to pull both O'Dowd and Barnes from my board. Luckly Brown slid to that spot, I had him ranked the same as with Pettis in the 4th. It was either one of them in that slot. Then the last choice was the running back but I really wanted Enderlee instead. So I am pretty happy overall with the Chiefs draft so far, wish I could have upgraded at tackle but the board never matched up just right.
