DERRICK HARVEY
DE | Florida | Scouting Report
SURPRISE! The Chiefs are going to try and trade down from this pick a bit so they may target Harvey a little later in the Top 10 but based on the information I have gathered from sources he is a guy they are looking at. Jared Allen obviously needs to be replaced and Harvey is much more highly thought of in NFL / scouting circles than the general public realizes. This is probably the highest he could possibly go but I definitely think he will be a Top 10 pick when all is said and done. This is the type of projection that has the potential to either make me look real good or bad.

Alternate Option: Chris Long / Vernon Gholston
If they stay at #5 they might opt for one of the other top defensive ends that could be available here. Long & Gholston are also rated a little higher than Harvey on most team's boards around.

Alternate Option: Branden Albert
If they do still want to go offensive line in the Top 10 this is the guy that they would target.

Alternate Option: Matt Ryan
The Chiefs sent their general manager, head coach and offensive coordinator half way across the country to Matt Ryan's Pro Day workout. You don't just waste the time of three high-profile members of the organization on a smokescreen so they do have a legitimate interest in Ryan.

#17
JEFF OTAH
OT | Pittsburgh | Scouting Report
If they don't get an offensive lineman with their first pick they definitely have to get one here. In fact, they have even looked into trading up to ensure they get the tackle they so desperately need. Kansas City's strength used to be their offensive line but it is now in absolute shambles and they probably need to bring in at least two blockers early on in this draft. For a lone time now there has been talk about how the Chiefs, and specifically Herm Edwards, really liked Jeff Otah so if he fell this far they would be elated. He is just the type of huge, mauling right tackle they want.

Alternate Option: Branden Albert / Ryan Clady
These two would be options if they traded up.

Alternate Option: Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie / Aqib Talib
Corner is also a major need but the only way this happens is if they get a offensive tackle earlier.

Alternate Option: Phillip Merling
If they don't replace Jared Allen with their first pick they could grab a defensive end here.
