DraftTek 7 round mock.
DraftTek doesn't have the final picks or anything. They don't have the fact that we're likely to earn two sixths and a seventh from compensatory picks, and it's not clear they know the Fenton 7th rounder is unlikely to activate. And we still don't know which 6th rounder the Chiefs gave up for Toney, their original 6th or the Dolphins' 6th acquired for Tyreek.
But it's still a fun exercise. Here's what they have: 1.30. DE Andre Carter II, Army Costing over $65M, which ranks 1st overall in positional cap dollar expenditure, the defensive line continues to be the team's biggest money pit. This has been a theme for the past three years. The reason is clear, the Chiefs fell into a damned-if-you-do; damned-if-you-don't scenario.2.62. S Tykee Smith, Georgia 3.94. DT Kobie Turner, Wake Forest 4.122. OT Warren McClendon, Georgia 4.132. RB Tank Bigsby, Auburn 5.165. DT Keondre Coburn, Texas 6.196. TE Luke Schoonmaker, Michigan 7.226. CB Sevyn Banks, LSU 7.249. WR Justin Shorter, Florida 7.251. OLB Dee Winters, TCU 7.252. WR Michael Wilson, Stanford 7.257. OT Luke Haggard, Indiana |

Well if you get a better known guy from a bigger program who goes on the 2nd day of the draft who, thanks to added athleticism, is putting up 5.5 yards a carry over, say, a three week timespan, then DCs I think are going to suddenly wake up and say "maybe this guy is worth staying honest against." I just don't think they think that way right now. That said, it's not a horrendous problem to have, as the Chiefs offense is incredible right now and Pacheco is doing his fair share. With Bigsby, you're just exploring ways you can notch the offense up yet another rung. |

I'd think a better way to notch up the offense, would be by improving the WR room or the T situation.

Like others I kinda hate the Smith pick, but I honestly don't hate the picks across the DL. Kobie Turner and Coburn at those picks to me are excellent, you've got run stuffing and pass rushing. I guess for the 2nd and 4th round picks I'd go some combination of OT and WR. I wouldn't hate the second 4th going on a safety.
