Bill Williamson's AFCW First Round Mock

Quesadilla Joe · 01-18-2011, 12:18 AM

We are going to periodically do an AFC West mock draft with updates after major events such as the Senior Bowl, the combine and pro day workouts.

Here goes our first take:

2. Denver, DL, Nick Fairley, Auburn: Denver will likely shop this pick, but getting out of the No. 2 pick is difficult. I think ultimately Denver will be thrilled to take Fairley. He would be a tremendous starting piece for John Fox’s defense.

18. San Diego, WR, Julio Jones, Alabama: If Jones has a big offseason. I can see him skyrocket up the draft board. But he’s the perfect fit for a San Diego receiver. I’d think the Chargers would jump at him.

21. Kansas City, Anthony Castonzo, RT, Boston College: This is a very talented player and he’d be a terrific fit and an upgrade from current starter Barry Richardson.

48. Oakland, Stefen Wisniewski, OL, Penn State: It’s always dicey predicting if a player will be available in the second round. Wisniewski -- the nephew of former Raiders’ star Steve Wisniewski -- seems like a player whose stock will rise. Still, he can play both center and guard and he’d be a fine fit for the Raiders, who sent the No. 17 pick to New England in the Richard Seymour trade in 2009.

Imagine that the Denver Douche Writer gives us a shitty player.

he isn't a shitty player

Is there some rule in the land o mock drafts that we take an o-lineman in the 1st round every single year?

googlegoogle · 01-18-2011, 01:44 AM

Our Oline is not good.

Teicher said we need Oline too.

I dont think I would ever draft OLine in the first, unless there was some godly talent at tackle.

I might consider a C in the 1st if I'm picking lower than say 25 if they're going to step in and be an instant all pro. Might.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 01-18-2011, 10:29 AM

He'll be a decent player, but that's a ****ing waste of a pick with as many holes as we have.

Brock · 01-18-2011, 10:36 AM

Gonna go out on a limb and say there might be more important positions to be had with a first round pick there.

**The Franchise** · 01-18-2011, 10:37 AM

I would rather take Wisniewski at that point.

Walter Football had the Chiefs taking Justin Blackmon before Blackmon decided to go back to OSU. I would have loved that pick.

Who is the best player at least 6'3 260 lbs that can rush the passer, isn't a ghetto thug, and was a team captain? That'll likely be the pick.

I know a lot of people say not to take a certain position early. Here is the deal though, I am tired of seeing year after year holes that get ignored or band aid fixes. I really don't care how they freaking do it but we have a lot of holes and I want them fixed.

Somehow, somewhere we need to fix the o-line. I have been seeing this get yelled at the tv since vermeil left, and now fans are crying worse than vermeil after a win. We need a freaking RT, C and another G wouldn't hurt year after year. I want Cassel to be good just as much as the next guy and it is extremly hard to judge a guy who has 3 seconds to get rid of the ball while he is running for his life. If your going to keep Cassel, and I don't see a better alternative out there, then at least fix the freaking o-line so you can help mask his deficiencies.

We have also needed a NT since the 3-4 was installed. We have needed someone on the opposite side of Tamba since trading Allen and I am tired of waiting. We have needed to replace Vrable since way before he even got here. We have needed another WR for too long and I want to see this shit get fixed before other holes start opening up and I don't care how they do it or where they do it. Bob Pioli needs to get on it!

It's really not about bandaid fixes. It's about knowing the draft and which positions have more of an impact on the game. You can get your interior linemen later in the draft that have all the attributes to play the position. We need a QB, OLB, WR before we start looking elsewhere. If we can get either of those from trades/FA then great, we can start looking at linemen. But, given that we are a 3-4 D, NT will probably make its way into the 2nd/3rd round.

There are always those linemen that scream Pro Bowler but they are also gone long before #21.
