If you have 2 guys with the same ceiling, while one has a higher floor, as DJ'sLN suggested in a later post, then yeah, you take the safer pick. But if one has a higher ceiling, then I'm taking that chance despite his lower floor.

EDIT: That would be a type of player I'd target in the 2nd round, or the type of guys that are normally pushed to the 2nd round. Last edited by O.city; 04-06-2016 at 03:33 PM.. |

5 rounder
28. Kansas City Chiefs: Eli Apple, CB, Ohio State The Chiefs lost Sean Smith in free agency, and with Justin Houston potentially missing significant time, they could use more coverage talent to go with Marcus Peters. Apple has a good skill set and lots of upside to develop. He has an excellent combination of size and speed, but he needs work on his technique. Apple grabs too much with receivers and needs to improve his ability to run with them without resorting to contact. That rawness keeps him from being a high first-rounder. The 6-foot, 200-pounder looks like he has No. 1-corner potential. In 2015, Apple recorded one interception, eight passes broken up and 33 tackles. He had some coverage lapses early on, but played better to close out the year. Apple was very impressive for the Buckeyes in 2014 down the stretch of their title run, recording 53 tackles with three interceptions and 10 passes broken up on the year. 59. Kansas City Chiefs: Sheldon Day, DL, Notre Dame The Chiefs grab a young five-technique. Mike DeVito turns 32 in June, and it would make sense to continue to add talent to their front seven considering the age of Tamba Hali. Day recorded 45 tackles, 15.5 for a loss, four sacks, two forced fumbles and four passes batted in 2015. He was very impressive and disruptive for Notre Dame. The 6-foot, 286-pounder was a disruptive presence for the Fighting Irish in 2014, totaling 40 tackles with 7.5 for a loss, one sack, two forced fumbles and two passes batted. He played better than the numbers indicate, too. Day has some natural strength and athleticism to him. Throughout the Senior Bowl, he fired into the backfield and showed once again that he is a disruptive force. 126. Kansas City Chiefs: Josh Forrest, LB, Kentucky The Chiefs grab a linebacker to pair with Derrick Johnson. Forrest (6-3, 245) is a thickly built thumper who is a good run defender in the tackle box. At the Senior Bowl, he showed some pass-coverage potential with more athleticism and speed than one would expect. Forrest totaled 93 tackles with six for a loss, 3.5 sacks, two interceptions and five passes batted in 2015. As a junior, he recorded 110 tackles with two sacks and two interceptions. Forrest is a sleeper linebacker who could be a really nice mid-round value pick. 162. Kansas City Chiefs: Jalin Marshall, WR, Ohio State The Chiefs grab a third receiver to pair with Jeremy Maclin and Chris Conley. 165. Kansas City Chiefs: David Onyemata, DE/DT, Manitoba Considering the age of Tamba Hali and the injury to Justin Houston, Kansas City could use some pass-rushing depth.

28. Kansas City Chiefs: Paxton Lynch, QB, Memphis Whoa! There aren't many mock drafts that have this happening, and probably for good reason. It's still a possibility, however, if history is any sort of indication. Alex Smith is 31. That's not old for a quarterback by any means, but Donovan McNabb was 31 as well when Andy Reid spent the 36th pick in the 2007 NFL Draft on Kevin Kolb. And according to my nifty Windows 10 calculator, that's just eight selections later than this one. Could history repeat itself, especially if Reid likes Lynch and is shocked to see him fall like this? Absolutely! I'm not saying it will happen, but it definitely could. It helps that the Chiefs have met with Lynch on multiple occasions. 59. Kansas City Chiefs: Cody Whitehair, G/OT, Kansas State The Chiefs lost their best blocker this offseason when Jeff Allen departed via free agency. It wouldn't be a surprise if Kansas City selected a guard early on as a result. 126. Kansas City Chiefs: Kentrell Brothers, ILB, Missouri Derrick Johnson's return to the lineup has been huge for Kansas City's defense, but the team has a weakness right next to Johnson. Also, it needs to be considered that Johnson just turned 33, so he doesn't have many dominant years left. 162. Kansas City Chiefs: Rashard Higgins, WR, Colorado State The Chiefs need a capable receiver besides Jeremy Maclin. When Maclin left the game against the Chargers, the offense looked pretty lost for a while. Pick change; previously De'Vondre Campbell, LB 165. Kansas City Chiefs: Anthony Zettel, DE/DT, Penn State Mike DeVito announced his retirement recently, so the Chiefs will have to find a defensive lineman at some point.

Philly traded down from 26 to 36 in the draft they took Kolb.
For moving down 10 spots, they got a 3rd and a 5th. Unless a tremendous value is on the board, I'd love to do something like that...but I think Dallas won that trade. They got Anthony Spencer and Philly got Kolb, Stewart Bradley and somebody else and they ended up flipping Kolb for a 2 a few years later. |

Please, no trading down for lessor talent.
The Chiefs need more topline talent, not more JAG's and projects. |

It truly comes down to what players are there when we are on the clock, I do think if the players they want are gone or if we know we can get them a few picks later and they know who wants someone that is there they will be making/fielding those calls.
I don't really like the idea of trading next years picks.

Trading one of those picks to improve the roster is a no brainer. |

Whenever these mocks treat these draft as though Andy Reid running them, it dismisses any credibility.
Further, while we can almost all agree that Josh Mauga is something of a liability next to DJ, I highly doubt that Dorsey will be drafting someone to replace him until they determine that Wilson, March, or Alexander are not the answer there.
