The Official Walter Football Mock Draft Thread - Page 3

Direckshun · 11-27-2007, 01:33 PM

As I make no secret, I love reading Walter Football. Not because the guy is particularly educated on the Chiefs, but because the guy's proud of his opinions and he has impressive knowledge of the incoming draft class.

Now, I'll have you know, every single mock he posted for us last year was wrong.

But that doesn't mean they aren't interesting.

I'll update this thread leading up to the Draft every time he updates his 2008 mock. I don't care about his 2009 mock. Plus, I'll only be focusing on the picks he gives the Chiefs.

5. Kansas City Chiefs: Ryan Clady, OT, Boise State
Brian Brohm and Andre' Woodson are both options here, but Brodie Croyle is young and has looked semi-decent at times, so maybe the Chiefs will hold off on drafting a quarterback and give their young gun-slinger a year to prove himself. With that in mind, Sam Baker and Ryan Clady become serious options to improve the offensive line. I know there are better prospects available at this juncture, but Kansas City cannot afford to surrender 55 sacks against next year. And keep in mind that the Cardinals reached for Levi Brown at this position last April.

35. Kansas City Chiefs: Lawrence Jackson, DE, USC
Jared Allen may defect for another team via the free-agent market. If that happens, the Chiefs will need a solid replacement. Lawrence Jackson is great value at this spot.

66. Kansas City Chiefs: Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB, TSU
Ty Law and Patrick Surtain will both be over the age of 32 once the 2008 season commences.

Intriguing third pick.

Love the R3 pick.

The other two are horrible selections for us.

He basically comes right out and says, "I know it's a reach, but..."

And he should be smart enough to know that Allen is going to get tagged. If we draft a DE on Day One, his name will be Chris Long. And that's a longshot.

ChiefsCountry · 01-11-2008, 03:10 PM

Yeah he is going on biggest need and its a major reach. This team has more holes than just OL.

Direckshun · 01-23-2008, 04:40 PM

Walter's going four rounds now. He's finally abandoned DE, and it's looking a little more realistic now.

Look at our fourth rounder, though. Wow.

35. Kansas City Chiefs: Tracy Porter, CB, Indiana
Ty Law and Patrick Surtain will both be over the age of 32 once the 2008 season commences.

Don't count out another offensive lineman here either, but at this point, I believe Tracy Porter is the best prospect out of anyone in that area.

66. Kansas City Chiefs: Tony Hills, OT, Texas
Kyle Turley? Will Svitek? Seriously, this is what Carl Peterson came up with?

101. Kansas City Chiefs: Joe Flacco, QB, Delaware
Brodie Croyle's still young, but he didn't look too promising. Spending a fourth-round pick on a signal caller couldn't hurt.

Direckshun · 01-25-2008, 03:12 AM

New one.

5. Kansas City Chiefs: Jake Long, OT, Michigan
Brian Brohm and Andre' Woodson are both options here, but Brodie Croyle is young and has looked semi-decent at times, so maybe the Chiefs will hold off on drafting a quarterback and give their young gun-slinger a year to prove himself. With that in mind, Jake Long is a no-brainer. Kansas City cannot afford to surrender 55 sacks against next year. That will change with Long anchoring the Chiefs' offensive front.

Ty Law and Patrick Surtain will both be over the age of 32 once the 2008 season commences.

Don't count out another offensive lineman here either, but at this point, I believe Tracy Porter is the best prospect out of anyone in that area.

66. Kansas City Chiefs: Tony Hills, OT, Texas

101. Kansas City Chiefs: Harry Douglas, WR, Louisville
Brodie Croyle looked terrible last year, but one of the reasons for that may have been the fact that the Chiefs had nothing at receiver after Dwayne Bowe. As a rookie, Bowe recorded 995 yards. Ranking in at No. 2 was Jeff Webb, 313 yards. Yeeesh.

Umm Okay that makes sense. otherwise good draft. getting bookend tackles would be a huge boost on offense. Douglas would be hopefully be what stone hands samie was meant to be. And there is no way that Porter could be worse that what we already have and could be a good cover 2 CB.

Mecca · 01-25-2008, 04:36 PM

Douglas has been brutal down at the senior bowl just for the record.

Did it have anything to do with the QB's he is working with. I only saw his name mentioned on the first day that he was slow getting in and out of cuts and that he dropped a few passes. did that continue for the rest of the week?

Mecca · 01-25-2008, 06:12 PM

He was running just horrible routes, he was giving routes away pretty much the second the ball was snapped.

Sfeihc · 01-25-2008, 09:49 PM

I really like the WR from Cal, Lavelle Hawkins. I think he may rise up to the third round or higher but if he's there in the fourth the Chiefs should grab him.

HolmeZz · 01-26-2008, 04:02 AM

Of course you could be wrong, you've never seen him and you're making baseless assumptions just by looking at numbers.

Direckshun · 02-19-2008, 04:18 PM

Since findthedr has failed to post the actual update:

5. Kansas City Chiefs: Jake Long, OT, Michigan
Before I move on, I'd like to let you know that my 2008 NFL Free Agents List has been posted.

Matt Ryan is an option here, but Brodie Croyle is young and has looked semi-decent at times, so maybe the Chiefs will hold off on drafting a quarterback and give their young gun-slinger a year to prove himself. With that in mind, Jake Long is a no-brainer. Kansas City cannot afford to surrender 55 sacks against next year. That will change with Long anchoring the Chiefs' offensive front.

35. Kansas City Chiefs: Early Doucet, WR, LSU
I thought about Tracy Porter here, but Early Doucet is too much value to pass up. Plus, it's not like the Chiefs don't need a receiver; the Chiefs have nothing at the position after Dwayne Bowe. As a rookie, Bowe recorded 995 yards. Ranking in at No. 2 was Jeff Webb, 313 yards. Yeeesh.

66. Kansas City Chiefs: Patrick Lee, CB, Auburn
Ty Law and Patrick Surtain will both be over the age of 32 once the 2008 season commences.

101. Kansas City Chiefs: Heath Benedict, OT/G, Newberry
The Chiefs and Newberry logos look the same, so this pick makes a lot of sense. All kidding aside, Kansas City needs to keep rebuilding its offensive line. Heath Benedict can play multiple positions up front, so the Chiefs would really benefit from drafting him.

I think this would be an excellent draft.

raybec 4 · 02-19-2008, 04:24 PM

That would be a great draft, even if they took Porter in the 2nd.

Sfeihc · 02-19-2008, 04:38 PM

We've had good luck with LSU wideouts so why not take Early early in the second?

I really like this mock draft. It sets the Chiefs up to really add some quality depth in the fifth round with their two picks.
