So out of this draft so far.....that's 3 starters with Ellis, King and Richardson. Groves is a great 3rd DE which will give Hali or Allen a breather that they need. Simpson I could see as a #3 or #4 guy his first year. Choice would help keep LJ healthy along with Kolby. |

Next is a CB who has the physical tools, but was abused last year by good route runners, looked bad down the stretch when left on an island, and is "not particularly aggressive or physical in run support." I think Herm can get a lot out of this kid, but it looks like another physical attributes verses actual production situation. Simpson as you said needs work and looked pretty good against bad competition. May end up OK, but just more of what we got. Not too fast, but he does run good routes and relies on that. Whether he fools pro competition remains to be seen. Choice becomes our 3rd RB... nice complementary pick...Kolby Smith part 2.Maybe he edges him out maybe not. Better players available yet again and at positions that will help the team long term. Richardson struggled at the senior bowl and although he has great size and can road grate, lacks quickness and balance to face speed rushers. One mag has him the 19th Guard, another 16th OT, another 18th OT. Yea its a later round, but this guy aint starting day 1 even for this team.

Sorry, but anyone who likes this draft for the Chiefs is lying or seriously delusional. I cant imagine much worse selecting players within our draft range each round. No way anyone is hoping for:
1.Ellis or 1. Great DT 2.Groves 2. Situational pass rush DE 3. King 3. Underachiever measurables CB 4. Simpson 4. #3-4 WR from small school 5. Choice 5. #3 maybe #2 RB 6. Richardson 6. Large slow project OT Seriously? Seriously. If this is what your hoping the Chiefs come out of the draft with, you gotta be a Donks fan.

He may not be calling you out, but now I am. With the luxury of hindsight, please go back over the draft and tell us who you would have picked. |

Second round is the only one where I questioned Mecca's pick but its not a bad one since we have ZERO depth behind Allen and Hali.

Who else would he have taken in R2? Baker and Hardy were both gone, and Collins would have been a big-ass reach at 35. Groves is 1st round talent that fell to the 2nd. You HAVE to jump on that, especially when you only have TWO DE's on the roster right now. King was ABSOLUTELY the right pick in the 3rd. Simpson doesn't thrill me, but shy of trading down, what else could you do there? Pollack was already gone, and any other OL would have been a reach. As mentioned, Choice was strictly a value pick. He should have been gone a round-and-a-half ago. Richardson fills a need, and people are bitching about it. McGlynn and Zuttah were already off the board. |

Thing is, I want to get on Mecca for ignoring OL, but the way this Draft has gone there has nary been OL on the board for him that would be worth the pick because so many people reached for the position in this mock.
I can't blame him for waiting 'til now to go OL, and Richardson's just one of those guys I've fluctuated on wildly. I think he's got all the tools, but he's going to tank it as soon as he gets his first NFL paycheck. If you truly believe you could light a fire under his ass, I would have drafted him in the 3rd. Otherwise, he's a 6th round prospect to me. I wasn't crazy about the King pick because I think the exact same thing melbar/findthedr? does, and that's that King's a talented underachiever and Mecca got seduced by numbers. I think some part of that is also true for Jerome Simpson, but Simpson is a project who could eventually prove me wrong too easily. It's hard to argue with the Groves pick, though. Unless we want to see Allen flame out, a 3rd DE this early with Groves' talent is undeniably important. Allen/Hali/Groves is a great trio. Ellis and Choice were fair picks. Obviously we need depth at both positions and both players would get a lot of time on the field. All in all I believe it's unconventional and above average, but I'd hesitate to call it brilliant. |
