Sac's Latest Mock
Since we don't have any announced trades as of yet, and Dorsey has said he'll draft the best player available, here's the most recent incarnation of my mock:
1. Geno Smith, QB; West Virginia: 6'3", 220 lbs. - Yeah, they traded for Alex Smith. But he's 29 years old and coming off of a concussion injury. Alex represents the best potential starting QB for the Chiefs in 2013 prior to the draft. Which is what Dorsey/Reid have tried to accomplish in free agency - setting the Chiefs up with the potential for winning right out of the gate. However, there also has to be long term potential at the QB position. As well, Dorsey has stated he'll take the best player available. That guy is Geno. 3. Phillip Thomas, FS; Fresno State: 6'1", 210 lbs. - Thomas was the only non-BCS player to make all five official First Team All-American lists after the 2012 season after posting other-worldly numbers for the Bulldogs. Incredibly instinctive with a high football IQ, Thomas is superb in the open field showing excellent feet and hips, as well as going after ball carriers with authority. 3. John Simon, DE/OLB; Ohio State: 6'1", 257 lbs. - John Simon is an absolute animal. Relentless. He's the terminator - he never stops, never quits. He's strong like bull and is thickly muscled. The best pass rusher on the Buckeyes squad for the past two years leading them in both sacks and tackles for loss. A former five star prep recruit, Simon does not know any other speed than full tilt relentless destruction. Think of linebackers like Bill Romanowski - that's how this kid plays. 4. Joe Kruger, DE/DT; Utah: 6'7", 280 lbs. - The younger brother of Ravens DE/LB Paul, Joe is a physically bigger version of him. A workout warrior with a nose for the ball and a nasty streak, he'll play through the whistle. Led the Utes in sacks in 2012. Big frame and good athleticism. Anyone wanting SMU's Margus Hunt, this is a more polished, more experienced version that's been well coached and played against top level competition. Plays a lot like current Denver Bronco Derek Wolfe. 5. Kevin Reddick, ILB; North Carolina: 6'2", 245 lbs. - Downgraded by some scouts/draftniks saying that he ran "hot and cold," however, from what I've seen, he's very instinctive and was able to find the ball/play through traffic. Shed blocks extremely well in addition to being able to fight through them. Pretty impressed with Reddick at this point. 6. Ricky Wagner, OT; Wisconsin: 6'6", 310 lbs. - A former prep basketball star, he ended up playing both sides of the offensive line and was named First Team All-Conference his senior year. Experienced and from a system that consistently puts out quality pro prospects. Has the athletic ability to play either side of the line in a pinch, but should be a natural right tackle at that next level. 6. Jeff Baca, OG; UCLA: 6'4", 305 lbs. - Agressive and physical, Baca started his career at offensive tackle and moved inside for his junior and senior year. Has also filled in at center. Second team All-Conference and was voted most outstanding senior on offense by his Bruin teammates. 7. Rex Burkhead, RB; Nebraska: 5'10", 215 lbs. - Excellent hands and a crafty first step, Burkhead is a multi-dimensional threat. Plays hard and tough - will immediately contribute on special teams and has potential as a third down back or fullback. Last edited by Saccopoo; 03-30-2013 at 05:46 PM.. |

This draft is an A+ if Pioli isn't here.

I would switch Barkley for Geno, but the first 3 are spot on who I would take. I hope Andrew Jackson from Western Kentucky declares. He is a beast of a middle linebacker.

I expect Washington to rise a bit.

I can't believe you don't have us drafting an OL, especially with Albert having 1 foot out the door.
Someone hacked this dudes account. |

Unless someone offers Albert an insane contract, I'd be pissed if they don't resign him. After watching him suck dog nuts for three years, he's finally putting together a decent season and with a real QB I think he'd be even better. He's ingrained himself into the position, is at the peak years of his career and is finally playing at an acceptable level. No, keeping Albert is rather important at this point, moreso than either Dorsey or Bowe. However, I don't want to see him franchised either. Paying him top five money for the position would be silly. The Chiefs are almost stuck in a hard spot with Albert contractually.

Ryan is better than any qb the chiefs could put out there let alone Geno.
I would love to go forward with those 2. |

Not bad at all. Would like one of those WRs from WV too to go with Geno.

I think this team has plenty of talent at WR, personally.

I'm not sure where this powerful arm talk of Nassib comes from. I still do like him as a project QB though.

Really like the first four picks. We have no depth at center/guard. What about Uzzi of GT in the fourth?
