Mock (11/2)
Assumptions:
1. Chiefs finish 12-4, winning a first round bye. Unfortunately, the Steelers come to town and upset them. They have the 27th pick in the draft. Alex Smith, Andy Reid, and John Dorsey are all retained. 2. OLB Tamba Hali retires. 3. RB Jamaal Charles renegotiates a contract down to 3 years, $12m. 4. S Eric Berry is re-signed for 4 years, $44m. 5. The following players are brought back on minimum deals: S Daniel Sorensen, LS James Winchester 6. The following players walk in free agency: QB Nick Foles, RB Bishop Sankey, NT Dontari Poe, DE Kendall Reyes 7. The following players are cut: WR De'Anthony Thomas 8. The Chiefs bring in 4 compensatory picks and 1 conditional pick. On with the show: 1st. NT Lowell Lotulelei, Utah We've had four years of John Dorsey drafts, so we know what he's going to do. He's going to bring in a player that can ostensibly replace a critical player that will depart after 2017. The Chiefs don't have any obvious candidates for that, however. The likeliest places to go, if we hew to that philosophy, is Jaye Howard, Derrick Johnson (who is under contract until 2018), or Alex Smith (ditto). With the departure of Dontari Poe, the Chiefs risk being extremely thin at DL. Lotulelei is related to Star, and like Star, is a stout force at the point of attack and can ostensibly start if Jaye Howard prices himself out of our range in 2017. 2nd. QB Chad Kelley, Ole Miss Chiefs look to groom a QBotF. 3rd. DE Jake Replogle, Purdue Now that Chris Jones is starting, we need more depth at DE. 4th. OLB Bryan Cox, Florida Houston/Ford should be an excellent combo, and I still have high hopes for Dadi Nicholas. That said, the Chiefs are going to want to sell out at passrusher this draft after the departure of Tamba Hali. 4th (compensatory for Sean Smith). CB Ed Paris, LSU A long corner. The Chiefs should be happy with Peters/Gaines/Nelson with White in the wings. Paris adds more talent to that corps. 5th. WR Zay Jones, East Carolina Chiefs like zippy receivers that can get in and out of breaks in a hurry. Jones is a fun prospect to watch. 5th (conditional for Marcus Cooper). NT Vincent Taylor, Oklahoma State More investments at the DL. 5th (compensatory for Chase Daniel). RB Marlon Mack, South Florida I anticipate we'll be watching Jamaal Charles in a Chiefs uniform in 2017; he's just too well liked in the locker room and he is an extremely fundamentally sound runner. That said, the Chiefs will want to make another investment at RB. They've always liked home run hitters. Mack has some of that ability. 6th (compensatory for Tyvon Branch). DE Ralph Green III, Indiana More investments for a depleted DL. 7th. OLB Derek Rivers, Youngstown State Physically gifted? No idea how to play football? Welcome to the Andy Reid football camp. Enjoy your unjustifiably huge paychecks. 7th (compensatory for Donald Stephenson). OLB Ken Ekanem, Virginia Tech Chiefs really like the passrushing program out of Virginia Tech. Ekanem's teammate was Dadi Nicholas, who thrived in the preseason and may have a significant role rushing the passer going forward. |

QB: Smith, Kelley, Bray
RB: Ware, Charles, West, Mack FB: Sherman WR: Maclin, Conley, Hill, Wilson, Robinson, Jones TE: Kelce, Harris, O'Shaughnessy, Travis LT: Fisher, Schwartz LG: Ehinger, Fulton C: Morse, Fulton RG: Duvarney-Tardif, Reid RT: Schwartz, Reid, Pughsley DE: Jones, Replogle, Green NT: Howard, Lotulelei, Taylor DE: Bailey, Nunez-Roches OLB: Ford, Nicholas, Cox ILB: Mauga, Wilson ILB: Johnson, March OLB: Houston, Zombo, Rivers, Ekanem CB: Peters, Gaines, Nelson, White, Paris, Mitchell S: Berry, Parker, Sorensen, Murray K: Santos P: Colquitt LS: Winchester Obviously this is more than 53 guys. I don't really care -- I'm fine with stocking this team with as much talent as possible and then letting the coaches figure it all out. Last edited by Direckshun; 11-02-2016 at 12:00 AM.. |

Why wouldn't we Franchise Poe in this scenario, if we extend Berry?

If Jamaal stays, I think his contract won't even reach those numbers.
And call it a hunch, but the game against the Jags is going to go a long way in deciding if they are going to take a run at keeping Foles, so that might screw up the Kelly pick (although I think he'd be great in Reid's WCO). |

Poe is the one who will stay IMO. He's too important and too difficult to replace.
Sorenson has made Berry expendable this year.

Poe is going to get franchised next year, and will likely sign somewhere else the year after that. Call it the Dorsey Catch and Release Program.

Poe is going nowhere and his last name is Kelly not Kelley I know this because his Uncle Jim spells it Kelly.

Rather let Berry walk than Poe. Elite NTs are much much rarer than elite safeties.
