November 6th 2008.

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.

God i hope not.

Gtech D-end has more upside.

Watching Orakpo showed me no burst & speed.

Reminded me of Tamba.

I can see herm and Kuh going for Oreck because of his stats and his big biceps.

We are failing at the draft. 2 busts at dend. Both high picks. Both were slow. How does that make you feel confident?

Now that I see it, I can't argue too much with it.

I have to say, I've been talking about Fenuki Topou as a possible 4th round pick for the Chiefs, and this is the first time I remember seeing his name mentioned in any of these mock drafts, going to the Ravens in the latter half of the third.

Updated as of December 4th.....and it's still the same for the Chiefs.

I was undecided on Orakpo. His combine will really set him apart.

The combine will end the discussion. Pretty sure Orakpo will blow everyone away.

yay! workout warriors!

don't get me wrong. orapko wouldn't bug me. it wouldn't hurt my feelings if we pick him. but I don't want to pick him ONLY because his workout numbers blow everybody away. ****, I don't want a mike mamula on our team.

Updated as of December 11th:

1st. Brian Orakpo
2nd. Alex Mack
3rd. Darry Beckwith, ILB, LSU

I really like his first two picks for KC. I'd like Freeman (LB) from Ohio St. if he's there in the 3rd.

**The Franchise** · 12-18-2008, 11:05 AM

Nothing has changed.

3. Kansas City Chiefs: Brian Orakpo, DE, Texas
There's a parade scheduled in Kansas City! No, the Chiefs haven't won the Super Bowl. Get real. The public is celebrating the fact that their team finally registered a sack in more than a month. And not just one sack - three sacks in one game!

The Chiefs 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.

Offensive line is the only other option now that Tyler Thigpen has emerged as a promising quarterback. As Tony Gonzalez said, "It would be a disgrace if [Thigpen's] not the starting quarterback next year."

By the way, I saw that one of ESPN's draft guys had Aaron Maybin, a defensive end from Penn State, going in this slot. That's great, except Maybin already told the media and coaching staff he's coming back for his redshirt junior year. Maybin could ultimately declare, and if he does, he'll go top five. For now, he won't be in my mock.

34. Kansas City Chiefs: Alex Mack, C, California
More than half of Kansas City's roster needs to be upgraded. You can include the center position, currently occupied by Rudy Niswanger.

67. Kansas City Chiefs: Darry Beckwith, ILB, LSU
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.

Derrick Johnson recently moved to inside linebacker. I don't think that's going to end well. This position needs to be addressed.

Don't think I would necessiarly like this pick. Kinda small for a ILB according to his LSU profile webpage. 6-1 232 IIRC. Haven't really seen him play though so who knows for sure.
