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.

Damned-if-you-do (The good draft outcome): Drafted in RD2 of the 2016 NFL draft, Chris Jones turned out to be more effective than the team imagined. Even when the team was dead last in the league at stopping the run and preventing TDs, Jones was still dominant at his position. He now has 65 career sacks (15.5 this year), 12 forced fumbles, and 33 passes defended from the interior. When the quality of D-linemen around him did not hold up, Jones stepped up and earned a nice, fat (4 yr/$80M) paycheck.

Damned-if-you-don't (The draft lacking outcome): An NFL reality... When you finish at the top of the pack, you draft last. Unfortunately for the Chiefs, EDGE rushers tend to go early. Where the draft was not able to provide, free agency did. The Chiefs outbid other teams to land Frank Clark for 5 yrs at $104M. Clark has 12.5 sacks less his last 4 years as a Chief (19.5 sacks) than he did his first 4 years as a Seahawk (36).

The Omnibus Appropriations Bill, posted to the U.S. Senate Committee on Appropriations, will determine the fate of EDGE Andre Carter II. The Reese's Senior Bowl selection has accumulated 20 sacks, 2 INTs, 5 forced fumbles and 2 blocked kicks during his collegiate career. If the bill stalls, he could drop... providing the Chiefs a more affordable and quality option at EDGE.

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
