Fanspeak - Matt Miller board, Steve's team needs, Classic

I had to throw a twist in. I ran this draft assuming the following moves were made leading up to it:

1) Trade Chris Jones to Seahawks for #27 in 2020, 3rd round in 2021
2) Trade Sammy Watkins to Eagles for 2020 #4 (124)
3) Trade #32 to Giants for 2020 #36 and #107

Here are my results:

1st. #27 - DeAndre Swift, RB, UGA. This was a BPA selection. I wasn't thinking RB, but he "fell" to me there. Too much value to not make a move. Also adds a 4th playmaker on O to pair with Hill, Kelce, Hardman. I pass on Kenny Murray (LB, OU), Kristian Fulton (CB, LSU), and Zach Baun (LB, Wisconsin) to make this seleciton.

2nd. #36 (Giants) - Jeff Gladney, CB, TCU. I was looking for the best CB or pass rusher I could fine at this spot. I pick Gladney over Jalyon Johnson (Utah) and AJ Terrell (Clemson) at CB, Marlon Davidson (Aubie) and Bradley Annae (utah)as pass rushers.

2nd. #63 - Justin Madubuike, DT, Texas A&M. With Jones gone, I supplement my interior rush with Madubuike, who is very talented but has some question marks. Kinda similar to CJ himself coming out of school...

3rd. #96 - Denzel Mims, WR, Baylor. Well, this was fun. I wasn't expecting to be able to add a WR here, but Mims fell in my lap. I love his length, speed, and catch radius. He's also a hands catcher and good overall athlete (track guy!). For a bigger receiver (6-3) looks to win a lot of quick separation. Chris Conley-level tools, but actually able to get open...

4th. #107 (Giants) - Matt Hennessey, C, Temple. I add a C who can push Reiter for the starting gig right away or move him to a G spot. I was looking best IOL at this point, and he just landed.

4th. #124 (Eagles) - Akeem Davis-Gaither, LB, Appy State. ADG is a little undersized but measured in at 6-1/217 at the Senior Bowl and seems capable of playing at 6-1/225. I'm admittedly man-crushing here, but he would inject some major speed and coverage skills for KC at WLB, while also being a good/powerful tackler. Troy Dye (MLB, Texas Tech) was also available here, for those who prefer him.

4th. #135 - Alton Robinson, DE, Syracuse. Robinson has the physical skills you look for - size, quickness, initial burst - but hasn't received great coaching thus far. I think he's someone who could really blossom with good developmental staff. He's a rotational rusher in Year 1 for KC but is someone who could blossom into a star. Also considered Nick Coe (DE, Auburn) but went with the higher upside. Troy Pride (CB, Notre Dame) was also there.

5th. #177 - Solomon Kindley, G, Georgia. Was looking BPA available here and liked Kindley's experience and power.

Recap: I land a new feature back, a new #3 receiver (and one I expect to start outside in years 2-3), and two prospects at IOL who should give me at least 1 new starter. If both look ready Year 1, I could even cut LDT and save some cap. On the defensive side, much-needed depth and speed added. Losing Jones' pass rush skills is hard, but I have added an edge with a lot of upside as well as a DT who is very talented and has the ability to become that powerful interior rusher Jones was. I also add a long-term solution at a boundary corner in Gladney, who can do everything.

And I add my personal favorite LB prospect in ADG, who gives me a major boost in sideline-to-sideline speed and HOPEFULLY is my 43 base set starter and sub-package coverage LB.

The draft would be super entertaining with that many picks. I like what you've done, but I'm taking Kristian Fulton (CB) at pick #27 over Swift and it wouldn't be that tough of a decision for me. RBs that can produce in this offense are not that hard to find, although Swift would be electric here.

It’s a tough call. I wouldn’t expect Swift to actually fall there, but he’s so dynamic it wold be a tough pass for me.

I’m still suffering some hangover from Fulton’s shitty performance in the national title game.

The Clemson WRs were creating a lot of separation against him. The only regular season game he played against similar weapons was Alabama - I didn’t watch that closely enough to pay attention to him.

But I wouldn’t hate taking a CB there.

With that first 2nd you’re now freed up for BpA. I don’t remember exactly how it played out, but I believe Marlon Davidson and Curtis Weaver were both out there at that point.

What are your thoughts on Madubuike and Robinson?

I like the Madubuike pick at that spot with Jones gone. I'm not sure how the coaching staff view Saunders and his potential, but he really didn't show much penetration on passing downs. Small sample size, and obviously he's going to continue to develop. But, we'll need a penetrating 3T to put next to Nnadi, and Madubuike looks like he could fill that role. Seems like a smart pick.

If Ogbah's not coming back, then I think another DE makes sense. Nothing's surefire that late in the draft but Robinson seems to have some upside potential. Wouldn't be mad at that pick in that spot.

I hated not taking any IOL earlier but the only possibility this draft would have been Cushenberry in the first and I could not pull that trigger. Maybe little Runyan has some of his dad's mean streak in him and he can find a spot in the league. I like the rest though.

Kristian Fulton and AJ Terrell were so awful in the NCG that I'm off their bandwagons. I think Fulton might be a product of the talent that surrounds him. Terrell is not very scheme multiple, and struggles with long speed - he needs to get hands on receivers to succeed.

If these guys and D'Andre Swift are on the board at #32 - you take Swift every time. Game changer.

Fanspeak Steve, Difficult. pretty interesting how it varies quite a bit.

approached assuming we have Chris Jones this year. and either Robinson and or Watkins gone.

I’d rather keep Jones and take that first draft.

Shouldn't you be adding at least another first rounder if assuming Jones is gone? Seattle/Miami/etc first round pick slot or something similar?

I played around with this and looked at the Big Board Player selection choices.

Drafttek and CBS Composite are pretty good.

Some of the others still have players in them that did not declare for draft. Still others are missing players all together or have them so low that it makes their Big Board suspect.

CBS Josh Edwards did not have LB Jordyn Brooks or TE Thaddeus Moss.

Tony Pauline - Pro Football Network has some real extremes with his ratings. If he likes you, he really, really likes you and seems kind of out of sync since that throws the rating off.

Scout The Player also has some strange ratings, Example Michigan Center/guard Cesar Ruiz is given a 185 (6th round) and LSU TE Moss is not even on board.

Some of this might change as later updates take place on these Big Boards and these were just early attempts to get something out there.

It is fun to play around with.

Makes you feel good about what the Chiefs will be able to do.

It won't be this easy.

Also thought Fan Speak - Jake, Bleacher Report - Matt Miller, Fan Speak - Steve, and Kingdom Connection - Brad Norris were all good Big Boards. They had different grades than I had, but it all looked valid.

player evaluations are just all over the place.

Yep. Every single board has players just everywhere and nobody is in agreement except for the top 10 in general. Some boards have players in the top 40 that others have as 3rd rounders. Really awkward year for evaluations.

I did comparisons on a few players -

CB Jeff Gladney TCU - was probably one of the most consistent with 6 boards rating him in the 30s or end of 1st round or top of the 2nd. One guy had him at 121 though. So you could probably throw out the high and low.

LB Zack Baun, Wisconsin - was pretty consistent with being in the 30s or 40s but one had him at 135 and another at 112. Zack is not a 3rd or 4th round LB.

TE Thaddeus Moss was all over from being a 2nd rounder to a 6th rounder to not even being on their board.

I like XAIVER MCKINNEY, he and Matheu would be a great duo!

I did this draft on First-Pick instead so I could simulate a 1st & 3rd for Chris Jones trade with SEA. In this scenario, we work out restructure with Sammy Watkins and let Colquitt, LDT, and Erving go.

Round 1 Pick 27 (SEA): Xavier McKinney, SS/FS, Alabama (A)
Round 1 Pick 32: DAndre Swift, RB, Georgia (A)
Round 2 Pick 31: Justin Madubuike, DT, Texas A&M (A)
Round 3 Pick 32: Ben Bredeson, OG, Michigan (A+)
Round 3 Pick 36 (SEA): Lavert Hill, CB, Michigan (A+)
Round 4 Pick 32: Matt Hennessy, C, Temple (A+)
Round 5 Pick 31: Joseph Charlton, P, South Carolina (A+)

Interesting. I think the team is better if it takes Baun or Gross Matos instead of McKinney.

Also: Never draft a punter. Use that 5th on a developmental OL or something like that.

I agree, that late in the draft I was having trouble finding a best fit. Lots of likely starters in that draft tho!

I like your draft, especially if you can get Gay in the 5th, looks very solid! Dont know about Hunt, Ill have to do some reading.

possibly my favorite mock yet

So-

went ahead and signed up for Premium because I was bored with just staying put.

I've been trading down into the early 2nd from #32, usually with Miami and getting another pick.

With a little moving around, I can usually end up with 2 #2's, 2 #3's, and 2 #4's.

And almost no matter what board I use, I can end up with a draft I'm pretty happy with.

I expect that Veach will move down I guess is what I'm saying, to acquire some more picks.

I would love this if we keep Chris Jones.

Any thoughts on the fall of bryce hall? how far does he go?

I just drafted these with a bias to our needs, but some tied into BPA.

Does Ricky Seals negate the purpose of drafting Chase Claypool?

I've always viewed Claypool as a potential Watkins replacement after this season. Tall, fast, great hands. Unfortunately he's shooting up draft boards thanks to his strong combine and good interview skills and probably not realistic for us unless at this point.

Bryce has a couple of strikes against him.

He only played 6 games this last season and he was invited to combine but was not ready to workout, so teams don't know where he is at after his injury.

In 2018 he was considered a 1st round talent by several draft experts before he decided to stay at Virginia.

Some teams that scouted him pretty hard in 2018 probably have him rated higher. While the Chiefs were scouting and watching Juan Thornhill, they may have spent some extra time also watching Bryce Hall.

I've watched most of his games. In my opinion, I think he gets drafted in the 2nd round but because of his injury and not being able to show teams that he has recovered, he may fall to the 3rd round.

^ A fair and reasonable assessment.

I really like Hall, but that was no minor injury he sustained. Dislocated ankle, broken fibula and a ligament tear all in one fell swoop...

I’m hoping he trades down this year instead of trading up like he always has.

Did the same myself, love the trade down option. I’ve traded with Miami and Jacksonville the most, but some others also. Seems to me, if I wait until the 5th rd to draft a RB, the ones I had targeted are gone. I try to save a 4th rd pick for a RB. Anyway, it’s a fun way to pass the time, with the trade options available.

Which 'big board' is the best or most used ?

32: R1P32 CB TREVON DIGGS ALABAMA
63: R2P31 RB D'ANDRE SWIFT GEORGIA
96: R3P32 WR CHASE CLAYPOOL NOTRE DAME
138: R4P32 G LOGAN STENBERG KENTUCKY
177: R5P31 DL RAEQUAN WILLIAMS MICHIGAN ST.

Veach’s is the best.

Here’s my simulation after trading down 6 times. It’s only a simulation but it’s proof you can end up with a lot of picks.
