Most Realistic Chiefs' Mock
Give me your absolute best guess at what you think the Chiefs will do with their 12 draft picks. I'm looking for what you feel Veach will do... trades, players, etc.
I'm not looking for who you want the Chiefs to draft. I've seen every iteration of that. A short one-liner of why you think each pick makes a lot of sense would be sensational. If you do trades, please at least reference this Trade Value Chart |

Meh, i'll post it here too:
Round 1, Pick 29; Andrew Booth Jr. (One of my favorites of the draft, this is the star of my Mock. Kaiir Elam could work here too assuming Booth is gone) Round 1, Pick 30; Boye Mafe (lazy pick here by me, but the Chiefs need a rusher and i expect Karlaftis to be gone) Round 2, Pick 50; George Pickens (1st round talent imo, I struggle if he's my favorite or 2nd favorite WR in the draft) Round 2, Pick 62; Jalyn Armour Davis (Chiefs get a 2nd big time physical attribute corner, giving them two outstanding boundry corner rookie prospects to develop) Round 3, Pick 94; David Ojabo (possibly wishful thinking here but that injury creates uncertainty and he'll have to redshirt his rookie season.I think he slides into the 3rd where these types of guys are generally seen taken) Round 3, Pick 103; Max Mitchel (Chiefs add some competition at swing tackle with a player that has the potential to outright take the RT job)

So far the best 'published' mock I've seen has been a 2-rounder from Nate Tice:
29: Arnold Ebiketie 30: Treylon Burks 50: Roger McCreary 62: Jaquan Brisker I say it's realistic because it's just not one of those "well the Chiefs need A, B, C so we'll reach for whatever is there" kind of drafts. All of those guys could reasonably be the BPA as well as guys who fall into a nice need niche for us. They represent opportunity AND value. I just feel like that's how Veach will approach it. Personally I don't think Ebiketie is the right build here, but maybe the long arms WILL be enough to make up for the relatively short stature. By his board I could also see us going with Andrew Booth at 29 and Drake Jackson at 50; same positions but their orders are flipped and I think you have better scheme fits with both guys. But in all his draft was reasonable top to bottom.

I just think this is a more fair approximation than what we've seen from the "Chiefs will select Logan Hall and Skyy Moore because Spags loves versatility and they need a WR!!" crowd.

Sure seems like the sort of guy Spags would enjoy working with.

If the Chiefs somehow came away with Booth and Pickens i honestly wouldn't give a **** about the rest of the draft. Im so smitten with those two, lol.

Surely you mean your #1 target at CB where we're picking and not the #1 CB in the draft

29: Andrew Booth 30: Treylon Burks 50: Drake Jackson 62: Jaquan Brisker Booth can start day 1 outside. Burks can be schemed for his first year and help improve his route running. Jackson is at least a dedicated passrusher year 1. Brisker is a damn good 3rd safety and probably a Thornhill replacement in year 2. |

Agree with taking Booth at 29, Jackson at 50. I'd be pretty ecstatic to get Brisker at 62, too.

Yup. Short. Seems like an OLB to me. And maybe a little light, but you could keep Clark at SDE. It's not like Ingram was much heavier.
But with an arm length over 34 inches (longer than Drake Jackson and Jermaine Johnson), that may get him over the hump with the staff. It's not impossible. I don't think it's terribly likely, but it isn't absurd. It isn't 'man, Spags would really love Logan Hall here...' Look at the list and you've got Jones, Davis, Ojabo, Leal, Thibodeaux, Williams, Hall, Sanders, Mafe, Karlaftis, Watt, Cam Thomas, Nik Bonnitt and Aidan Hutchinson (among others) all as guys with arms shorter than Ebiketie has. I feel like that might matter more than his raw height.

Above average height, arm length and strength. Will play physical and is a fluid athlete. Extremely versatile coming from a major program as a top recruit who was asked to do everything. Good ball skills, willing tackler (perhaps too aggressive at time). Excellent intelligence and a hot motor. I honestly can't see a single thing Spags wouldn't like about this guy. He's almost built in a lab for what we'd want to do.
