Late night bullshit: drafting the Chiefs in the CP Mock.

[Direckshun]

Thanks to the ChiefsPlanet Mock gods (I.e. Pesty), I'm representing the Chiefs in this year's Mock.

I'm reasoning out my picks as much as time allows when my turn pops up, and I'll dump my reasoning for each pick in here for your ridicule and/or hero worship.

The mock doesn't allow for compensatory picks, but I'll make ersatz selections in this thread, too.

The OP will be updated as the mock goes on.

1. OL Cameron Erving, Florida State
2. WR Devin Smith, Ohio State
3. WR Justin Hardy, East Carolina
3. OLB Hau'oli Kikaha, Washington
4. ILB Taiwan Jones, Michigan State

Sorter, are you suggesting that since Siler was drafted in the 7th round (2007), that Kendricks in the first is too much of a reach? If so, well, I've seen Kendricks taken as high as 1.11 and not even in the top 50 on some boards. So there's quite a spread on this guy.

As I said before, I'd rather have Williams or Gordon. Sounds like Kendricks could be a very good player who will likely go somewhere at the end of round 1 or top of round 2.

Generally speaking, I want playmakers/difference-makers with an early selection (if at all possible), hence my leanings towards Williams or Gordon.

BTW, I'd be shocked if the Chiefs selected an ILB at 1.18. I think it's much more likely that they'd take a CB than an ILB.

I'm going to laugh my ass of when Dorsey pisses on the fatty pimps this year, and doesn't take another one until the third. *

*Unless we have a comp pick in the 2nd.

That shit is over.

Bank it.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Can we please just draft that WR in the 1st so everyone will shut the **** up !!!!

2nd round comp pick?

You should try paying attention to how the NFL draft really works before spewing out an opinion.

And who would that be, Hog? I believe the top three (White, Cooper, Parker,) will be gone. Who then? Mr Boom/Bust (DGB)?

I think we can get a really good WR that'd blend in with our offensive scheme in rounds 2-3.

Anyway, who you got in mind for 1.18?

Hypothetical on the 2nd. In any case, the point stands; the era of the high round fatty is over in KC.

Dorsey has now gone on record saying that Kush is his guy. He'll bring in competition, but there's not a chance in hell he does it in Round One.

I don't believe that you've actually seen an NFL game.

I don't believe about half of the bullshit that GMs and coaches spew, and doubt the rest.

Cameron Erving would not be my first choice for that pick, but it's not nearly as ridiculous as you make it out to be.

We can certainly use more weapons, but I'd rather do my damnedest to make sure that the weapons we do have aren't wasted because Alex Smith is getting his ass pounded into the turf, or running for his life.

And right now, bullshit be damned, we can't do that.

It wouldn't be as ridiculous of the Chiefs had even one wide receiver on the roster that actually scored a touchdown in one of sixteen games last year.

60 minutes x 16 games = 960 minutes without a TD by a receiver. That's insane.

You may not believe Dorsey but considering the way he's addressed the WR and guard spots, I believe that if he was truly unhappy with Kush, he'd have placed a higher priority in free agency.

Jeremy Maclin is going to be a part of the solution (a big part), and there should be good value at WR in the second round.

I actually don't care what they go with in the first round, wheher it be WR, OL, ILB, or corner.

Just give me the best player that plugs a hole.

Dane, I think you and Milk are BOTH right. Alex needs to be upright, and I'd agree that Dorsey would've probably gone the free agent route if he felt Kush wasn't going to at least be adequate. Heck, they kept him as solely a backup center, so apparently they had something in mind.

I agree with Milk though that we definitely need more help on the OL. I just don't know what we have with Stephenson. He played horribly last year (when he played). And, what if Fisher DOESN'T improve. Could get ugly.

[Discuss Thrower]

Erving makes sense if you think he can be a tackle and you're okay with letting him sit for a year to replace whoever plays right or you move Fisher to right and Erving moves to left in 2016.

Milk, what if the BPA is a DT, DE or OLB, would you not take that guy at 1.18?

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Drafting "Best Position Available" is for losers.

Discuss, that'd make sense assuming Erving is a good tackle. Not saying that he won't be, but I think there are other folks I'd rather have at 1.18. That said, I won't go into convulsions if the Chiefs brass makes said selection.

I'm good with those positions, too. There will be WR's in the second that can probably start immediately.

But if they were to go center, then it's possible that their second rounder may be a CB or ILBer, pushing receiver to the third.

I just don't believe that center at #18 would be the choice and could have a ripple effect with the end result being less talented players at serious postions of need.
