If you didn't appreciate my last Mock Draft, which included a trade of Jared Allen for three draft picks, what do you think now? Yes, I chose the wrong trade partner, but in the end the Chiefs stole three picks from Minnesota and because of it, will be the team to watch this weekend.

Round #1 (8th Pick from Baltimore)

G Branden Albert (Virginia) – Next to defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey from LSU, Albert has been KC’s top target since early March. The Chiefs had hoped to take his teammate, defensive end Chris Long, but he goes to the Raiders.

The Falcons shock the world by taking Vernon Gholston, making a Chiefs trade with Baltimore possible. The Ravens take Matt Ryan with the fifth overall pick, sending the Chiefs their 8th pick and their second-rounder. The Chiefs then pick a player they believe can play left tackle for the next 10 years.

Round #1 (17th Pick from Minnesota)

DE Derrick Harvey (Florida) – With Allen gone, the Chiefs have nobody on the roster to rush the passer from the right side. With Turk McBride coming into his second year and Tamba Hali his third, KC’s defensive end group needs a boost. Harvey, like Albert, is one of the fastest risers in this draft. A year ago both were considered mid-second-round picks, but now they’re teammates drafted in round one.

Round #2 (35th Pick)

OT Sam Baker (USC) - The best tackle on the board at this point. Kansas City can put him at right tackle to complement Albert. This pick removes the under construction sign for KC’s offensive line. Rudy Niswanger will start at center, Brian Waters will stay at left guard, and Damion McIntosh moves from left tackle to right guard.

Round #2 (38th Pick from Ravens)

CB Tyvon Branch (Connecticut) – This is a need pick for Kansas City. They considered Mike Jenkins and Aqib Talib with the 17th pick, but passed on both. This is the best corner left, and an important pick for the Chiefs, because they need two starting corners from this draft. Branch is just a shade under six foot but he’s fast, can play the cover two, and should be a solid addition to the starting lineup in 2008.

Round #3 (66th Pick)

QB Brian Brohm (Louisville) – Brohm slides down the board and the Chiefs end up with the fourth-rated quarterback in the draft class, as they did in 2006 when they selected Brodie Croyle. Let the battle begin. Brohm will have a lot to prove being taken this late in the draft. I’m sure he regrets coming back for his senior season, but it’s always good when a quarterback has a chip on his shoulder.

He's not close on where anybody is picked, guessed Albert, and as one poster pointed out, he seems to have no clue as to draft value.

Hey, he put out like 10 mocks. I'm sure he slung enough poo at the wall that one or two were close.

**AustinChief** · 04-26-2008, 05:03 PM

Any chance Early Doucet falls to us in the 3rd?
How far will Calais Campbell and Quenton Groves fall?

Well, that's clearly an upgrade for them, so yeah.

Nah, the Allen trade shows they think they can contend with Jackson.

I suspect all of those guys will go unless we move.

Yeah, but that was the "final" one.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 04-26-2008, 05:04 PM

Does SF get Groves here?

**banyon** · 04-26-2008, 05:05 PM

Wow, people on ESPN chat are asking things like : "aside from KC who has had the best draft?"

**Lzen** · 04-26-2008, 05:05 PM

I like the Flowers pick. I don't know anything about the off field issues so I can't comment on that. But I would like to point out that the combine 40 time is not that big a deal, IMO. How many times in the past have we picked and/or reached for a guy based on his great combine numbers and it turned out to be a bad pick? Think about that. I would much rather get a good football player. I would much rather get a guy who has proven it over time on the field. Combine numbers are fine. But I would not want to base too much of the pick on those numbers. I would put much more weight on their overall college career.
