Crow's New Year's Drafturbation


Here ya go...

I'll keep the FA portion simple and say that I'll sign David Harris, ILB (NYJ), Casey Matthews, ILB (PHI), Kenrick Ellis, NT (NYJ), and Cecil Shorts, WR (JAX). You'll see who I retain in roster breakdown to follow...

1. Ereck Flowers, OT - Miami (6'5" 308)

In this write-up I'm not giving KC any free agent offensive lineman to work worth (signed Barksdale and Carpenter in previous work). Flowers has the ability to play left tackle, and might just do so if Fisher does continue to play awful football, but for right now he's coming in to start at RT in year one. A blocker with some skill and some attitude.

2. Justin Hardy, WR - East Carolina (6'0" 188)

Have had him pegged in the 2nd round but have been sliding him up into round 1. I'm torn, but I'm putting him back in round 2. He's a perfect fit for this offense. I'm disappointed to take Rollins out of a mock because of his immense potential, but Hardy is a guy I have to get.

3. Cam Thomas, CB - Western Kentucky (6'1" 190)

Going with a corner in the 3rd round for back-to-back years sounds good with Sean Smith a free agent after 2015. Thomas is in the same mold as Gaines, tall, athletic, and can come up and support the run.

3. John Miller, OG - Louisville (6'2" 321)

I have to dip back into the offensive line pool (this will be a regular deal) and fix the left guard position. Miller is a rock, he's as consistent as they come at the position. You know what you're getting, but that isn't a bad thing.

4. Kenny Bell, WR - Nebraska (6'1" 185)

I have to add some explosion back to the roster here with Bell. He's got great hands and is a smooth runner. He's similar to Hardy but not as much production. Better competition and a more run focused offense can do that. Bell is a great blocker in the run game too.

5. Sean Hickey, OT - Syracuse (6'5" 300)

Back again to the line pool with Hickey. A good swing tackle that could also move inside to guard. Gotta have depth too, and with Fisher's play it might not be bad to develop a guy that could take over at RT if Flowers has to go to LT.

5. Henry Anderson, DE - Stanford (6'6" 295)

The Chiefs need to continue to stock the defensive line and Anderson has the look of a guy that can rush the passer and stop the run. He's a must get for KC in my book.

5. Clayton Geathers, SS - Central Florida (6'2" 208)

You want your Cam Chancellor? Here you go. Well, not quite, but close. This is a guy that is a beast of a tackler and damn good in coverage. I don't think he'll run well and that will keep him low, but he's always in the right position it seems and is a hell of a team player and leader.

6. Mike Hull, ILB - Penn State (6'0" 232)

You gotta find ways to fill in that inside linebacker position with players that can come down hill. Hull is that type, and could be a hell of a cheap bargain player.

7. Mitch Morse, OL - Missouri (6'5" 305)

Ah, Mitch Morse. He's valuable on an NFL roster if he isn't asked to be a tackle. He looks like a great developmental guard and center type. He's a depth player you can move around if need be and get production from I think. He's a guy that can latch on and its game over, but don't put him in space. This seems to be a Dorsey type from years past in Green Bay.

7. Brock Hekking, DE/OLB - Nevada (6'4" 255)

This is my sleeper pass rush prospect. I've only seen him rated about a 7th round player in one spot and they had him in the 3rd round. Obviously there is at least one other person out there that seems to see what I see. Mullet and all, this guy looks like the type that will run through a wall for you and could be a nice developmental OLB for the 3-4. You can never have too many pass rushers.

I'm a huge fan of Flowers, and I agree he should be in our final consideration if we don't move in the first round.
My thoughts on Hardy:

Smooth runner. Consistent router runner that gains immediate separation. Fluid in and out of his breaks. Tremendous hands, large catch radius. Can make circus catches, one-handed acrobatic style catches. He can make a catch in traffic. Consistently catches with his hands away from his frame.
He sells his routes. He beats press and makes contested catches against physical defenders, he knows how to position himself to seal a defender. He's a hard worker. Walk on to all-time leader in receptions in college. He gets YAC. Willing and able blocker in space. He can absorb hits. He works his way back to the QB when the play breaks down. He is constantly aware of his position on the field, whether it be the sideline, a first-down marker, or the endzone. He makes the effort to get in bounds, the first-down, the touchdown. There is literally nothing I don't like about his game. The only knock I have is he doesn't have elite deep speed, but he's not the type of receiver you constantly stretch the field with anyhow. He has enough speed to go deep and he can sell that every play. If you liked Odell Beckham last year, you should absolutely love this kid.

So why isn't he a 1st rounder.

Level of competition?

Eh...

Hardy is good, but not that good.

Beckham has sick burst, terrific long speed, can jump out of the park and had hands that could palm a dinner plate, in addition to being an incredibly fundamentally sound player. He was special.

Hardy has had some nice games, but he's been a quick dumpoff guy his whole career. (Which, considering the state of the Chiefs offense in 2014, isn't a bad thing I guess.)

I really don't see what he brings to the table that justifies him being a second/third round guy. Dudes like Florida State's Rashard Green, Kevin Lockett's kid, Stefon Diggs, Phillip Dorsett, etc. are going to be there in the same area and give you a lot more speed.

Like I said in another thread, I'd love to see a bigger catch radius downfield versus just another guy. 10 ypc against the competition East Carolina plays against isn't really eye popping.

Right now, I'm pretty satisfied with our small school receiver we got last year in Albert Wilson.

Personally, I'd take Mayle or Arizona's Austin Hill in the third round over a guy like Hardy.

I think its a combination of spread offense and level of competition that might have scouts holding him to the 2nd round. I'd personally consider him in round 1. Sac is right that he doesn't look to have the same elite speed that some other players do, but neither did Jerry Rice, Cris Carter, Tim Brown, etc. He looks like a guy that will run right at about 4.50. I will say though that I'm going to guess that Hardy's hands are about as big as Beckham's and if you've watched the kid play he makes the same type of unreal, one-handed snags that Beckham makes. Hardy high points the ball extremely well and goes up over defenders to make alot of catches, so I'm not sure a jump out of the park comment is warranted against Hardy. I'm anxious to see his measurements at the combine, I think he's going to surprise some people. The one thing about Hardy is that if you throw it near him he's going to catch the football, he adjust to poorly thrown balls extremely well.

While Greene, Diggs, Dorsett, and Lockett give more deep speed, they don't give you that sturdy frame that Hardy possesses. The only two that I'd consider close are Greene and Lockett in receiving talent, but neither are quite there with Hardy. Both Greene and Lockett I'd consider as nice slot players. I'm looking at Hardy as a perfect possession #2.
