Pest's Mock 4/6
 

I'm not including free agency because who the **** knows if they'll sign anyone else before the draft.

1.18 - Kevin Johnson, CB, Wake Forest
*previous pick - Alvin Dupree, OLB/DE, Kentucky

Even with the year that Sean Smith had last year....and Gaines being drafted in the 3rd round.....CB is still a need on this team. Smith is on the final year of his deal and who knows what kind of money he'll want if he has another good year. Johnson gives us another capable starting CB and leaves our top 4 as Smith, Gaines, Johnson and Fleming.

2.49 - Nelson Agholor, WR, USC

Maclin was a huge signing but this WR group still needs another threat. So far we've heard Agholor compared to Reggie Wayne but did you know that Agholor has almost identical numbers to Maclin? What's better than one Maclin? ****ing two. This also allows Albert Wilson to run out of the slot where I think he's a better fit.

3.80 - Hau'Oli Kikaha, OLB/DE, Washington
*previous pick - P.J. Williams, CB, Florida State

This should eliminate the freaking out that Houston is gone. The more pass rushers you have....the better...especially because Hali will be gone after this season.

3.98 - John Miller, OG, Louisville

Meet your new starter at RG. Not sure what happens to Fulton but we can keep him around for depth.

4.118 - Ramik Wilson, ILB, Georgia

One of the top 3 needs of this team....but unfortunately I don't think we're in a spot to grab Kendricks or McKinney. Wilson can take the starting job from Mauga in the middle of the season once he gets up to speed.

5.172 - Shaquille Mason, C, Georgia Tech

Played OG in college but has been getting worked out as a center this offseason. Since we haven't brought a veteran in as depth behind Kush.....this is the option that's left.

5.173 - Wes Saxton, TE, Southern Alabama

We need a 2nd/3rd TE on this roster for those 3 TE sets that we run.

6.193 - Terry Williams, NT, East Carolina

Poe needs a breather every once in a while....JFC.

6.217 - Darrian Miller, OT, Kentucky

7.233 - Tevin McDonald, S, Eastern Washington

I dig it. That's a damn good draft.

Mother**** the Dee Ford pick in the ****ing ass. We'd be in such great shape right now if we had drafted a WR in the 1st round last year and Dupree fell to us this year.

I have no doubt that Dupree is likely to be the best available player at 18 if he makes it to us. And he really is a great player. He has the ability to be as well-rounded of an OLB as Justin Houston is while also being a ferocious pass rusher.

But I will have such a sour taste in my mouth if we take him, because it will inevitably mean one of the following:

1. Dee Ford is doomed be to special teams/gadget pass rusher, assuming the 2016 season features Houston and Dupree. OR: He ****ing sucks and should be traded to another team for Anthony Sherman's replacement at FB.

2. Justin Houston isn't going to get re-signed to a long term contract.

Dupree is a good choice because you always need fresh legs to rush the passer especially late in the season like the SB Giants that beat NE.

You take Dupree simply because there are about three guys on the planet that can do what he does athletically at his size.

It doesn't mean that Ford is a bust. It means you just took an absolute freak that gets to learn the system and play behind two really, really good players in Houston and Hali and who knows what happens to either of those guys after this season in terms of being starters for the Chiefs.

First four picks are absolutely balls.

(Though I doubt Williams falls to the third.)

And I'd take Vigil over Wilson.

I'm with SNR -- you don't take Dupree that early if you expect to keep Houston around. Otherwise, he's a great choice, but he obviously won't be there at 18.

I'm actually souring on Agholor, but it might just be a preference in styles.

If Williams is around in the 3rd, I'm all over that shit. I don't think he will be, but how cool would that be.

Miller is a good prospect, but we're already four deep at guard.

Wilson, Saxton, and Williams are all solid selections.

I'd almost take agholor in the first round

And when Hali leaves next year......you're down to Houston and Ford with what behind them?

A third rounder, why not. That would be my general game plan. Or a high pick next year.

You need two studs rushing the passer with a good option that can come in off the bench.

But again, I really love Dupree so I'm not going to complain, but it doesn't seem like the smartest investment in resources.

Josh Martin :rockon:

Coming from the guy who thinks that a rookie OC who hasn't even played a full year at the position is the better pick.

Dupree makes a ton of sense if we're not planning on keeping Houston.

If we ARE, then we're likely just upgrading 2016's LOLB from Ford (who should be good) to Dupree (who should be very, very good).

That's great, but I'd rather make a key investment to assure that our OL in 2016 goes from very poor to very good. Which, along with the development of Fisher, Erving would be a massive part of that progression.

The question isn't "who is the most talented." The question is, "who makes my team the best it can be."

I dig it, while I prefer receiver #1 it still hits all the right notes... and really, can a team ever have too many pass rushers?

I think not.

Would've skipped the tackle with that extra 6th, though.
