Post Your "Decision Lens" Mock

Give me your guess at the Dorsey Decision Lens draft.

Here's mine...


Round 1, Selection 27 | T.J. Watt, OLB, Wisconsin

Watt is a great prospect from a measurement perspective with good body length, good arm length, big hands, insane short area quickness, and great lower body explosion. Once healthy (and those knee injuries will need to be carefully vetted), Watt exploded onto the scene in his first year as a starter, showing the explosive traits his older brother J.J. once did in Madison. Watt is sure to pique John Dorsey's interest with his numbers, his production, and his lineage. With Dorsey always forward looking a year when it comes to his 1st round picks, Watt makes a ton of sense with Dee Ford coming up on a pay day.

Round 2, Selection 59 | Quincy Wilson, CB, Florida

With all of the talent at DB in this draft, some are sure to fall to value selections on day 2. Wilson didn't put up the kind of eye-popping numbers some of his peers did in the underwear Olympics, so he could be one of those to fall. Wilson is a big, thick corner with solid overall measurements and good short-area quickness to stick with receivers on their initial cut. He's solid in press and tight man, which bodes well for Sutton's defensive scheme. Wilson didn't run much slower than Marcus Peters and is a similarly confident player with a short memory, but is equally susceptible to deep speed.

Round 3, Selection 91 | Brad Kaaya, QB, Miami

Kaaya is a solid-sized QB with an adequate NFL arm. He's shown the ability to fit the ball into NFL windows, throwing to all levels with good touch. Threw alot of WCO type of throws in Miami's pro-style offense, with slants, digs, and quick outs. Has had to make multiple reads from pro offense, which puts him a bit ahead of the learning curve. Very good mechanics. Very mature and smart. Has shown the ability to quickly learn an offense, having had 3 different schemes in as many years. Inconsistent under pressure, losing accuracy and making poor decisions. Athletic enough to buy time, but won't make a living doing it. Does not throw very well on the move.

Round 3, Selection 104 | Duke Riley, ILB, LSU

Dorsey has put quite a few undersized inside linebackers on the roster during his tenure here, so I could see it happening again. Riley is one of the new-age "money" linebackers coming into the league. Like Atlanta's Deion Jones, drafted out of LSU last year, Riley is an ultra-quick linebacker with good speed that will fire up through gaps to make plays and is solid in coverage. Riley will never be a take on linebacker, but he gets off blocks pretty well to make plays.

Round 4, Selection 132 | George Kittle, TE, Iowa

The Chiefs have been actively shopping the TE market and did sign free agent Gavin Escobar. One thing is certain, there is quite a bit of bad after starter Travis Kelce. One area the Chiefs could use a ton of help is with a #2 TE that can not only catch the football when it's thrown to him, but with blocking. Kittle is one of the better blocking TEs in this class and comes from a school known for producing tough-nosed players at the position. Dorsey is also sure to like this kid's underwear numbers, having run a 4.52 with a 35" vertical and 11' broad jump.

Round 5, Selection 170 | Josh Malone, WR, Tennessee

The Chiefs have been spending late rounders on WRs often and I look for them to likely do so again given that none of the previous picks have really stepped up. Malone is in a very similar mould to current Chiefs' receiver Chris Conley. Malone has great hands, good concentration, catches in traffic, runs decent routes, and has solid deep speed.

Round 5, Selection 180 | Aaron Jones, RB, UTEP

Don't get me wrong, this is a kid I really love, but I can see Dorsey and Reid liking him a bunch too. Jones really has that LeSean McCoy type of talent sure to interest Andy Reid. Jones runs well at all levels and to the inside and outside. He's a great receiver and he can block fairly well. I'm really surpised this kid isn't getting alot more love in the media. If he falls this late, he's going to be a steal in my opinion. Given the Chiefs have shown interest in him, I'm putting him in here because he just fits what Reid loves in a RB.

Round 6, Selection 216 | Stevie Tu'ikolovatu, DT, USC

Tu'ikolovatu is a portly built nose type with solid athleticism, solid arm length, and big strong hands. He's very similar to newly signed NT, Bennie Logan. Dorsey should be intrigured by Tu'kolovatu's run stopping ability and size, as well as his overall athleticism to play the nose. Like Logan, he looks to be a guy that is more of a 2-down run stopper but won't offer much on 3rd down and long. The Chiefs would be well served to fill the position with a cheaper option going forward.

Round 6, Selection 218 | Craig Winston, DT, Richmond

Dorsey always seems to take a flier on a small-school player with upside, and given future need at the 3-tech, I'm going with Winston. I'll post my report on Winston. Stout with a thick bubble. Shows good burst off the snap with a strong initial punch. Splits double-teams well with a nice arm over. Uses hands extremely well. Shows the ability to one-arm and keep his frame clean. Disruptive. Outstanding closing burst to the ball carrier. Scrapes down the line well and makes plays outside of his zone. Nasty, hittting with purpose when he gets a clean release. Experience as a 3-4 DE. One of the most productive defensive lineman in the FCS. 3rd team All-American. Hard worker that never misses a training day and was a team captain.

Round 7, Selection 245 | Cole Croston, OT, Iowa

Throughout Dorsey's tenure "lacks functional power" has become a normal term when looking at offensive lineman he's drafted. "Sound technician" has also become a staple. You could add in, "late round stab in the dark" as well. Croston seems to fit most of that terminology as he's pretty sound, especially coming out of Iowa, but he really lacks the sand in his pants and overall functional strength to be a contributor early on. Stashing a guy like Croston on the PS might be a solid move if you have confidence you can develop his strength. Reminds me alot of Parker Ehinger.

1 - Jarrad Davis - I think this guy is going to be a beast. Watson and Mahommes are gone by pick 27.

2 - Joshua Dobbs - This might surprise a lot of people. Wait. Let me take that back. People are going to be like WTF??!!! I have Deshaun Watson as the best QB on my board. And then I have Mahommes and Dobbs neck and neck. I really think Dobbs has a chance to be special. He is severely underrated. Why he doesn't get the press the other QBs do is beyond me.

3 - Ethan Pocic - I've seen a lot of mocks dropping Pocic to the 3rd. I'm not sold on Ehinger at the LG spot. Not a Fulton fan. Pocic helps solidify the OL and becomes the second day one starter from this draft. I'd also take Pat Pat Elfein here. Debatable if they slip to the late 3rd though. I honestly think it would be worth trading an extra pick to go up and get one of them, preferably Pocic. You might even say KC could take either in the second and Dobbs in the 3rd, but I think Dobbs goes early 3rd at the latest.

3 - Marlon Mack - Love this guy's tape. Adds the degree of elusiveness and burst our backfield is missing.

4 - Dalvin Tomlinson - Contract year for Howard. And even if they resign Howard, does he shift to NT if they don't resign Logan? Howard and Bailey take up about 11-12 million in cap space. KC looks for cheaper depth from this 5 technique with a starter ceiling.

5 - Channing Stribling - Bye bye Phillip Gaines. Long, press corner with only adequate speed. I think Terrance Mitchell is going to be pretty solid but we need more depth.

5 - Jeremy Sprinkle - We need a TE who can block. Harris has one foot out the door and Escobar is only a receiving option. Dude is an awful run blocker. Good value in the 5th.

6th and 7th round? Whoever fell due to character concerns.
