27. Kansas City Chiefs: Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson

Andy Reid selected Kevin Kolb with his initial draft choice back in 2007. Donovan McNabb was entrenched as his starter, but he was about to turn 31, and Reid was thinking of the future. Perhaps Reid will make a similar decision at this juncture, as Alex Smith is a few months away from 33. Smith performed poorly this past season, so the Chiefs need to get better at quarterback anyway.

I should note that no team we've spoken to has Deshaun Watson as a first-round prospect. One high-ranking personnel man in the NFC told me he has Watson as a third-round prospect. It's so much like the Teddy Bridgewater draft, when the media had Bridgewater in the first round, and yet NFL franchises considered him to be a second-day prospect, even before his woeful pro day. However, this was prior to the national championship, so I have to believe some team will trade up into the back end of the opening frame to take Watson, much like the Vikings did with Bridgewater. In this case, Kansas City is simply taking Watson with its own pick, and I think it's a very logical selection.

59. Kansas City Chiefs: Tim Williams, DE/OLB, Alabama

With Tamba Hali nearing retirement and Dee Ford hitting free agency soon, the Chiefs could be in the market for a new edge rusher. Tim Williams has Randy Gregory-type off-the-field concerns, but Andy Reid has taken chances on troubled players.

91. Kansas City Chiefs: Joe Mixon, RB, Oklahoma

The Chiefs cut Jamaal Charles, so they'll need to spend an early-round selection on a new running back.

Joe Mixon is an ultra-talented running back, but will slip in the draft because he punched a woman a couple of years ago. However, Andy Reid has given second chances to players, so perhaps he'll give Mixon a shot to redeem himself, just as he did with Tyreek Hill.

104. Kansas City Chiefs: Jake Butt, TE, Michigan

Andy Reid loves using multiple tight ends, so this is an option despite Travis Kelce being on the roster. This is some major value, as Jake Butt getting hurt caused him to drop two rounds.

132. Kansas City Chiefs: Damore'ea Stringfellow, WR, Ole Miss
Jeremy Maclin likely won't be around in Kansas City much longer because of his salary. The Chiefs could use a mid-round selection on a receiver.

170. Kansas City Chiefs: Jourdan Lewis, CB, Michigan
The Chiefs were able to get quality play out of Terrance Mitchell down the stretch last year, but that could've been a fluke. A cornerback should be added just in case.

180. Kansas City Chiefs: Connor Harris, ILB, Lindenwood
Derrick Johnson is coming off yet another injury, so it seems clear that his time is running out. The Chiefs will need to find a replacement.

Video, if Hill's crime were on video people would be more pissed than they were.

Yes. True. But if you knew that the kid would fulfill all the obligations set for him and kept his nose clean would you haven't given him the chance. Doesn't Mixon deserve the same? I don;t know all of the Mixon story in fact hardly none. But I do know women can stir up some emotion. But it is no excuse. There is no excuse for Mixon's actions.

The thing is I'm saying is you lay forth the same program you put in front of Hill. With the same guidelines.

Yeah, I don't have too much faith in people who hit women. That's a learned behavior and I have no clue what really happened or what else is in his background. I really don't care if the Chiefs draft him or don't. It's not for me to judge him, I just don't think you can count on him not to do it again.

It wasn't that he just hit a woman. He sucker punched her with pretty much max force, let her fall to the ground hard, and left her there bleeding and unconscious while he walked out like nothing happened. It's awful to see, and you can read into his character about 10 different ways with that video. He is a pussy, and seems to place little value in others. **** him.

Is that any worse than beating on a pregnant woman??. I think the main thing is that they have no positive male influences in their lives. No fault of their own. Just no men.

I can't even imagine growing up in a household in a insane neighborhood.
With a mother if even if she worked a full time job, gone most of the time. And trying to keep it together. And worst of all no father around. At least to give you a sense of right and wrong. I bow my head to any kid who has done so.

Oh c'mon, do we have to draft a guy who's last name is "BUTT"?

He weighs bout 280 and runs a 4.8 Nebraska has a slew coming out next year. Not to mention it here but Ne is going to be QB college in the years to come. Go figure... One of the only few to run a pro offense.

To just handwaive assault ending with a woman and a broken jaw because there is no father is bullshit. Otherwise every boy growing up without a father would be making girls drink their dinners through a straw.
