Sac's Halfway Point 2013 Chiefs Mock

[Saccopoo]

Newly modified reflecting the need for better wideouts to support Geno.

Liking the mock sac except for one thing. I think David Amerson is a better fit at safety, so the Chiefs would still need a corner. Put a corner in for their 3rd round pick and I'd be liking this thing fo sho.

Mingo is a better fit as a OLB in the 3-4 than a 4-3 DE.

I was looking at 2nd level QBs to draft later and looked at that Sorensen kid.

There's one video up on youtube of him and he looked a lot like Lindley going something like 12/30 with 0 TDs and 1 INT. Then you look at his stats and he's gotten worse every year.

I'd rather draft a 2nd QB in the 3rd and get Murray, Jones, Manuel, or Dysert.

I like Jones. Manuel as well.

I just don't know if you can take another guy as high as the third round at this point. The Chiefs are going to need a MLB and safety and that's the round where there is some really, really good talent sitting there for those two positions.

If we could get players like Skov and Thomas, who should be immediate starters at MLB and FS on this team, then you have got to take them versus a backup at QB. 5th or 6th round I'd spend on another QB if Smith is taken in the first.

I'm sure there is someone that can be found later in the draft to play safety.

Chiefs have 3 openings at QB and I'd rather not waste a pick on a Lindleyesque QB.

I'm sure there is. A Lindleyesque level safety.

Thomas is an All-American. McDonald and Rambo are very solid. It gets a little iffy after that. If either of those guys are there in the third, you definitely take them over a backup at QB. That's what free agency is for - getting a vet who knows the league and can fill in and do an okay job when required.

Wasting a third round pick on a backup is wasting a pick when you can get a starter at a position of need.

The Chiefs need starters at the following out of this draft:

1. Quarterback
2. Cornerback
3. Free Safety
4. Middle Linebacker

Everything else is filler/special teams/backup.

If they get the compensation for Carr and it's a third rounder as expected, they can get all of this by round three and all of them can be high level guys. (See above.)

If we were talking about Florida State's Xavier Rhodes, I'd agree, but I think that Amerson can play the #2 CB spot at the next level very effectively. Great ball skills and great size and he is very good at press coverage.

I think he'd fit in quite well opposite of Flowers.

Sign me up for this.

I like the idea of taking a flyer on someone like Logan Thomas with tools you can dream on. But I also really like Dysert. This obsession of mine with QBs is getting a little unhealthy, I think.

Officially nom-nom-nom'd at your updates.

Additionally, you can expect probably 2 more late comp picks, IIRC

so, as a hypothetical, let's say the Chiefs aren't going to draft smith (for whatever reason)....how would that change your draft...or how would you proceed with that limitation?

I find that scenario so implausible that it goes beyond the realm of even the hypothetical into the absurd.

Seems like an easy solution to me...

- Geno Smith

+ Tyler Wilson/Matt Barkley
