Mock (4/14)

[Direckshun]

I'm going to go light on explanations here. Forgive me.

1. The Chiefs extend QB Alex Smith 6 years, $90m (when you break the numbers down, it will actually break down to 4 years, $60m, with something like $35m guaranteed), and S Eric Berry 6 years, $45m ($23m guaranteed). They will extend Justin Houston at some point during the 2015 season.

2. The Chiefs sign RB Fozzy Whittaker (Browns) to a minimal deal, OT J'Marcus Webb (Vikings) to a 2-year, $4m deal, and S Kurt Coleman (Eagles) to a minimal deal.

On with the show:



1.23. OG Xavier Su'a-Filo, UCLA

The Chiefs are almost certainly looking to bolster the trenches, particularly at the guard position where the last remaining "true" hole on this team is.

3.87. OLB Chris Smith, Arkansas

I haven't had this guy falling, but the CP Mock proved it to me otherwise. He could fall to the Chiefs' 4th rounder in that mock, but I think he's 2nd round talent. I'll split the difference here and give the Chiefs some talent to potentially replace Hali.

4.124. WR Mike Davis, Texas

Not a very sexy option, but a very solid option. Mike Davis has all the tools to be a successful WR in the NFL. I think he has a ceiling as a really good #2.

5.163. NT Ryan Carrethers, Arkansas State

The Chiefs have nothing behind Poe. And Carrethers isn't the athlete Poe is, but he does have Poe's endless motor and great technique. I believe Carrethers has starter upside.

6.193. CB Nevin Lawson, Utah State

Lawson carries with him a smaller frame an inch or two bigger than Flowers, and has excelled defending the slot due to his extremely fast recovery speed and his aggressiveness against the run. I just looked him up on CBSSports.com and they compare his game to... Chris Owens. This allows Flowers to stay outside as Owens and Lawson man the slot.

6.200. OLB Devon Kennard, USC

But was suddenly resurrected when USC switched to a 3-4 defense as a rushbacker, of all things! Here's a guy who doesn't have great athleticism, or great strength. So USC decides to change schemes, and run a ton of stunts for Kennard, whose endless motor notched him 9 sacks this past year. So an NFL team will see some promise there and bring Kennard on. But Kennard needs stunts and misdirection to apply pressure because he is neither exceptionally strong or fast. He is tough as a bull, with tireless effort, and enthusiastic against the run. But he's only useful downhill, so his ceiling is as a situational passrusher at the next level.

Because Andy is no stranger to taking one in the first round and they have no Right Guard.
