****OFFICIAL 2019 Saccopoo CP Mock Draft Thread****

[RealSNR]

START DATE AND TIME: March 18th, noon central

RULES:

Spoiler!

1. 12 hours for each pick. Unless it's on the weekends.....then your clock can go **** itself.

2. Make sure that you have PMs turned on. After you make your selection, PM the next person up to let them know that they're on the clock. If you know that you aren't going to be on and able to make your selection, PM a list of your desired picks (in the order you want them) to someone else. You can send those to me, The Franchise, or some other poster you trust. Make sure the person who selects before you knows who to alert when your team is on the clock. If you miss your pick, you will be skipped and you'll have to make your pick as soon as you can. If you miss two consecutive picks, you lose your teams.

3. Format your selections as such: *Insert team name* selects Player Name, POS, School. Make sure they are bolded so that people can see them. You can add pictures and explanations if you'd like but they aren't required.

4. Do a search of the thread before you pick to make sure that the player hasn't been selected. If you pick a player that has already been drafted, you face the wrath of the entire thread and you'll have to correct it. So don't make a pick and then leave for 14 hours. Stick around and make sure that you didn't **** up.

I just don't know how you can call a 5'9'' dude a possession receiver. You've gotta be so damn precise with a guy that has that kind of catch radius.

That's just too much draft capital for a guy who I think is limited to a Y receiver kind of role.

I'd sit tight through the first 2 rounds if you're talking about Isabella as a 2nd rounder. If AJ Brown somehow fell that far or maybe even N'Keal Harry - I might jump. But I just don't see a good value fit likely in the 2nd.

If Hill isn't a Chiefs or they think he won't be in August, that calculus may change a little though no?

I absolutely agree.

Like I told O.city, it's not my first choice. But I prefer Isabella over trading up or taking someone in the first.

Ideally, they'd not take a WR until the 3rd, where one of the guys you mentioned would be there. That's better value.

Well, if the Hill thing has legs, there's not very damn much that can be done about it, huh? That's the issue. It's not like they're saying they just don't want to pay him or something. It really isn't in the Chiefs hands until the investigation is complete. They can't sit on their hands and pass up opportunities, even if it is putting a band-aid on a great white bite.

Hugely so.

Losing Hill would be crushing for this offense. It's just like people saying "we don't need a C, we have Mahomes...."

I mean we cannot just keep piling more and more shit on this kid. Sooner or later you will hit a tipping point where he's either struggling to make the play or taking bigger and bigger hits to pull them off.

Losing Hill would be brutal and I think it would take the Super Bowl off the table. There's no way to hand waive what he adds to this offense. You remove the Z receiver from Reid's offense and you damn near have to scrap it. It's especially damaging when you can't trust Watkins to play more than 8-10 games.

Not really.

If Hill's not a Chief, you're gonna have to go to the drawing board and win a completely different way. The 2018 Chiefs offense as we knew it, the high-flying, 50 TD, 5,000 Yard, big play waiting to happen offense will be dead.

You're gonna have to learn to play a more conventional and sadly, conservative style. You're gonna have to try to play more complementary football.

You can use a 3rd rounder on a replacement X prospect and hope Watkins can give you some solid production at the Z when he's healthy (with Robinson likely your X for most of the year anyway), but that's just a standard deviation removed from where we were.

You're gonna need the first 3 picks to figure out how best to effectuate your plan B. Be that beefing up your OL to buy more time for diminished weapons to get open or a TE to play more 12 personnel. Or DL/Secondary to lean more heavily on your defense. Plan B gets the majority of your draft capital at that point, not attempting to salvage Plan A. Plan A is at the bottom of the North Atlantic and it ain't coming back...

It would suuuuuuuck.

Sad face

[RunKC]

Mecole Hardman.

He’s more Tyler Lockett, but man can that kid fly. He’d be excellent insurance for Hill and you might be able to get him in rd 3. Wouldn’t be opposed to taking him at 63.

[O.city]

That would be my choice but I doubt you’re getting much from him in year 1

I doubt you're getting much from anybody in year 1.

It's not perfect by any means....but we'd have Watkins, Robinson and Pringle....unless they brought in a mid-tier FA.

No it isn't, but you can't continue to pursue the same plan with a lesser piece.

You gotta pursue better pieces for a different plan at that point. And if Mecole Hardman comes in and pulls a Hill while Watkins gives you 16 games as a viable Z, then hey - you're in business.

But I think both of those are so unlikely that you're in a 'prepare for the worst and hope for the best' mode. You change directions at that point and if you get lucky, then hey - the offense is still great AND you've beefed up elsehwere.

You gotta pursue better pieces for a different plan at that point. And if Mecole Hardman comes in and pulls a Hill while Watkins gives you 16 games as a viable Z, then hey - you're in business.

But I think both of those are so unlikely that you're in a 'prepare for the worst and hope for the best' mode. You change directions at that point and if you get lucky, then hey - the offense is still great AND you've beefed up elsehwere.

I don't disagree with that. They can't do what Andy did in Phily, that's for sure. He kept trying to get WR's when it was clear it wasn't working. He really never did move on to Plan B and that's what killed him.

Gary is one that I REALLY don't like.

That guy has underwear champion written all over him. I mean I don't want to put too fine a point on this, but the guy just kinda sucked in college.

Maybe someone has a reason for that but I sure don't. If they give up an additional 2nd day pick (or god help us, a 1st rounder next year) to move up for that guy, I'd be pretty pissed off.

I'd take Ferrell over Gary without question. I'd at least consider Sweat over Ferrell because the production and measurables are there, for the most part. Gary, OTOH, could amount to precisely dick in this league because there's a reason he was a virtual non-factor in Ann Arbor.
