Mayock sees four options for Chiefs at No. 1

Posted by Mike Florio on February 19, 2013, 9:02 AM EST

APOn Monday, preeminent draft guru Mike Mayock participated in a pre-Combine conference call that lasted more than 2.5 hours. Tirelessly answering question after question, Mayock demonstrated once again a computerized recall of names and teams and needs.

With plenty of interest focused on what will happen at the top of the draft, Mayock eventually was asked to identify the players he believes to be worthy of the first overall pick, held by the Chiefs.

Mayock said there are four: Alabama guard Chance Warmack; North Carolina guard Jonathan Cooper; Texas A&M tackle Luke Joeckel; and Central Michigan tackle Eric Fisher.

Warmack is Mayock’s preference. “People will tell me I’m crazy, that a guard can’t go No. 1,” Mayock explained. “I think he’s the best player in the draft, so I would argue that.”

The list doesn’t create the kind of sizzle to which we’ve become accustomed at the top of the draft. And for good reason. There are no quarterbacks regarded as worthy of being the first overall pick this year.

Mayock realizes that the Chiefs’ needs could be influenced by their decision regarding tackle Branden Albert (who could actually move to guard if a guy like Joeckel is drafted with the first pick). Still, Chiefs coach Andy Reid learned the hard way in 2012 the importance of having a high-end offensive live. With a cluster of high-quality blockers at the top of the draft and a rookie wage scale to keep the total cost far less than what it would be to sign Albert to a long-term deal, the Chiefs could opt for the lineman whom they decide they like the most.

And then they’d hope that the rest of the teams agree with G.M. John Dorsey’s assessment that none of the quarterbacks merit a first-round selection. Which would push all of the quarterbacks to the Chiefs at the top of round two.

Isn't it kinda understood that we're not going to be chasing a super bowl next year? We finally have some smarts in the front office and in the new HC, let it play out - that's how I see it anyway. I'm glad to finally have a good mind leading the team on the field.

What in the Fu@k would we do with another guard? If there is one position that I'm fine with it's guard.

In no way am I advocating guard at #1.1 but **** NO.

Allen was awful, Hudson was a great guard at Florida State that moved to center so in reality, guard or center is a need.

But not in the first. Or second. Or even third.

**** no.

Jeff Allen was a rookie, he will be fine

Being a rookie in no way is an excuse for getting his ass whooped week in and week out.

Selected by Pioli, who has the reverse Midas touch with all things football.

sadly this. The one time he was coerced in to a pick, it yielded a pro bowler. Everything else? Pure shite.

Being a rookie playing to an aging guard who's playing out of position isn't the best way to evaluate Allen.

Right, because Will Shields would have looked like shit next to anyone, as would have Larry Allen or any other HOFer, let alone an adequate guard.

I swear, 99.99999999% of you mother****ers either talk out of your ass or don't know a mother****ing thing about the NFL.

Or both.

BTW, Dumb****, Allen played next to Lilja, an "aging guard", all of 29 years old, playing center.

Lilja quit because HGH testing is coming soon and that ****er isn't 225 without juicing.

Speaking of lilja didn't he retire?
