Mock (10/27)

Assumptions:

1. The Chiefs finish 9-7, make the playoffs, and get drummed out of the first round by the Indianapolis Colts. Because we are the Chiefs. We end up picking #23. All staff is retained.

2. The team fails to extend OLB Justin Houston and has to franchise tag him. They do, however, extend S Eric Berry at some point over the next 12 months for about $8-9m a year.

3. The Chiefs re-sign C Rodney Hudson to a 4 year, $20m deal ($6m guaranteed), DE Allen Bailey to a 4 year, $18m deal ($3m guaranteed), DE Kevin Vickerson to a 2 year, $4m deal, and S Ron Parker to a 3 year, $5m deal ($1m guaranteed).

4. The Chiefs extend OLB Tamba Hali 3 years, $35m ($15 guaranteed). The deal is backloaded but with nearly all the guaranteed money up front.

5. The Chiefs cut WR A.J. Jenkins, TE Anthony Fasano, DE Mike DeVito, ILB Derrick Johnson, and CB Jamell Fleming.

6. The Chiefs tender OLB Josh Martin.

7. The Chiefs let walk WR Junior Hemingway, WR Frankie Hammond, OT Ryan Harris, OG Jeff Linkenbach, OG Mike McGlynn, S Kurt Coleman, and S Kelcie McCray.

8. The Chiefs re-sign RB Joe McKnight, FB Anthony Sherman, TE Demetrius Harris, ILB Josh Mauga, CB Chris Owens, and LS Thomas Gafford to minimal deals.

9. They receive four compensatory picks: a 3rd, a 4th, a 5th, and a 6th.

On with the show:

1.23. WR Dorial Green-Beckham, Oklahoma

Well the Chiefs, with yet another first round piffle out of the playoffs, are looking to beef up a pathetic WR corps, and have to do so at the bottom of the first round. That's where they can potentially land Green-Beckham, should DGB come out this year. DGB has elite measurables, but needs a TON of grooming -- in other words, he is the perfect Dorsey selection.

The Chiefs can trot out Avery at the #2 slot and give DGB all year to pick up the offense. At the very least, he gives the Chiefs a great weapon on those bubble screens they're apparently obsessed with running.

Adding DGB (and re-signing Hudson) gives the Chiefs an offense that can grow together for YEARS -- Alex Smith, Jamaal Charles, Knile Davis, DeAnthony Thomas, Dwayne Bowe, DGB, Eric Fisher, and Rodney Hudson are all under contract for multiple years.

2.55. ILB Denzel Perryman, Miami

The Chiefs trade their 2.61 and 4.124 to move up to 2.55.

The Chiefs take their best ****ing shot at getting a replacement for DJ. I'm higher on this kid than most, and he provides the jolt at the line of scrimmage and stack-and-shed ability that DJ became elite at. He's also a natural leader on the field who's almost as good dropping into coverage as he is slamming into the LOS.

3.87. WR Justin Hardy, East Carolina

Hardy is a shifty, smaller route-runner with great hands. After the Chiefs swung for the fences on a boom-bust prospect in DGB, they're going to go for a safer talent who can provide smart intermediate route-running and sneaky-good after-the-catch ability.

3.96. OT T.J. Clemmings, Pittsburgh

Clemmings will need a year of grooming behind Stephenson, but possesses very fast feet and long arms. His biggest weakness is his slight-ish frame at "only" 305 lbs, but after a year in the same conditioning program that beefed up Eric Fisher, Clemmings could be ready to assume RT responsibilities as soon as his 2nd year.

4.134. CB Quandre Diggs, Texas

Diggs is an unremarkable but reliably solid playmaker for the Longhorns. He reminds me quite a bit of Jamell Fleming, both in size and the nature of how they play. The Chiefs showed interest in Fleming at the start of this year, and I think Diggs is a glorified version of him.

5.163. TE C.J. Uzomah, Auburn

I had a couple choices here, but the Chiefs dumped Fasano this hypothetical, and need more beef here. Uzomah is just now learning how to play tight end, and sports a fantastic, huge frame at 6'4", 264 lbs, and decent hands, he is a bull at the point of attack in the run game.

5.174. S Kyshoen Jarrett, Virginia Tech

Jarrett reminds me a lot of Kurt Coleman, who the Chiefs picked up this year. He's a terrifically aggressive safety with lots of range to play deep. Potential starter upside.

6.193. NT Brandon Ivory, Alabama

The Chiefs must add more beef behind Poe.

6.213. OG Jamon Brown, Louisville

6'6", 350 lbs, with impossibly long arms. Experience at RT and LT.

7.238. ILB Collin Ellis, Northwestern

Very athletic WILB who can cover lots of ground and make plays behind the line of scrimmage.
