EDIT: Just for drill, I checked the mocks at NFL.com. They have 12 different guys putting up mocks post-combine and before the Alex Smith trade was "unofficially" announced. 10 of those 12, including both Brian Billick and Charley Casserly, picked Joekel as the Chiefs #1 overall pick and the other two picked Eric Fisher. Therefore I would suggest Joekel is a pretty safe pick. Of course that was before Albert was settled but with so many good teams with TWO good edge pass rushers a team that expects to do good business on offense needs a very good OT on both ends of the line. So whether that means just protecting the QB or getting a speedy RB outside, very good OTs are a necessity.

You dumbass. These people are MOCKING where they think the player will END UP, not where they think they SHOULD end up.

And even if they did mock to where they SHOULD be drafted, which national media member do you think knows and cares about the irrelevant Kansas City Chiefs?

The Chiefs have shown their hand and gone all in on Alex Smith and gone out and overspent on Chase Daniel.... anyone who would mock Geno Smith to the Chiefs would be a fucking moron, just like you.
