Chiefs Your dream 1st/2nd round combo for next week's NFL Draft - Page 17

pugsnotdrugs19 · 06:46 PM

Alright so, try to keep these as realistic as possible obviously, but let's talk about our preferred draft choices for the Chiefs come next Thursday and Friday evening at the draft. They have the 28th and 59th overall selections. Now, obviously guys like Carson Wentz and Jalen Ramsey are not going to be available at 28. Likewise, we won't see players like Corey Coleman or Eli Apple at 59.

For me, I feel like this team is just a piece or two away, so I want to see immediate impact players selected if at all possible. Thus, my dream 1st and 2nd round mock...

Round 1, Pick 28: Mackensie Alexander, CB Clemson
He's brash and confident, and the tape does not lie. It won't come without some growing pains, but Alexander has the ability to step in day one and give us a great potential lockdown corner across from Marcus Peters. You can never have enough corners. The Chiefs are already in need of corner depth, but in this scenario we add it to the top of the heap. Week 1 against SD, Peters, Alexander, and Phillip Gaines form a really solid starting CB group while Steven Nelson provides great depth.

Round 2, Pick 59: Shilique Calhoun, OLB Michigan State
Here's a guy who is boom or bust. This one comes down most to me trusting Conley's development more than Ford. However, he is one of very few edge rushers in this draft that is equipped to contribute as a pass rusher immediately in the NFL. Again, a position in which you can never have enough of, this pick makes a ton of sense. Justin Houston could miss some time this season. Tamba Hali is at a point in his career where the downfall could come abruptly and unexpectedly. Dee Ford, while he has flashed, cannot be fully counted on just yet. This pick could give the Chiefs the deepest, most talented group of pass rushers in the NFL.

Your turn.

If Jackson III is there at 24, I think you call Cincinnati and get a deal done to move up.

I want him on this team.

not that it is definitive but in all the draft mags ....lindys, nolan narwocki, pro football weekly, athlon none even mention reed
of course none mentioned oshaugnessy or alexander last year and they made contributions

1. CB Jackson or DT Nkemdiche (The Black Panther)

2. OG Garnett or WR Doctson/Mitchell/Caroo

pick #28 Vernon Butler DL NFL.com comparison is Muhammad Wilkerson. That should fit Sutton's defense very well. Size, length, and athletic ability to play multiple positions in different defensive fronts.

pick #59 Sean Davis CB/S Top shelf athletic ability and very physical tackler. 40 career starts, 14 at CB. If Al Harris can clean up his CB technique, Davis and Peters give the Chiefs two big, physical press man corners. His floor is a fast, physical tackling machine at safety.

FWIW, Jaworksi calls Alexander the top cover corner in the draft....

And they still manage to perform at a high level, not only offensively because of Brady, but defensively, as well.

SB championships, AFC championships.

Always in the mix.

probably a q

but: two fatties

j/k

I really do not know specifically but not in any order - a really good player that ends up starting in the secondary and a QB that has a high potential (not sure if needed to use a 1 or 2 tho) , or maybe a dedicated passrusher....

I don't follow college enough to have an informed opinion of specific names, so I will rely on all of you to tell me how shitty or good our picks will be.

Yeah, but come on. That's because of Belichick.

All of his protege's have tried the same tactics of trading down, trading around, etc. and so on and no one's even come close to his success.

Hell, how many of them have had winning seasons?
