New Fox Mock Draft Has Chiefs Taking Anthony Davis in First Round

if Berry is gone.

Tackles are generally safe picks… i.e., they’re not as likely to bust. Both of these guys sound like solid prospects, and after current players are moved around and the dust settles, I’d say that we would have a pretty darn good OL if one of these two are selected.

“They’ll move Branden Albert back to his natural position (guard)…”

At least they know a little about Albert.

Davis play a few times. He dominates people, the kind of presence you would like to see on the o-line. Very unpolished but I think i’d like him better than O’Kung, but either one would be fine. Either way it starts a good chain reaction on the line, more quality people in all the positions.

Obviously we did’nt get to see him play. But, still. we drafted him for a good reason. Surely a year on IR has changed his place on the food chain.
 Anybody know anything about his current status?.

on Colin Brown. Still some promise there, although he admittedly was a project

Okung, notsomuch.

Drafting a LT when we already have a young stud at LT in Albert would be insane, foolish, and every other negative adjective I could use. It would be as head scratching a move as drafting a utility DL player in the 2nd round(Turk), or a 3rd string TE in the 2nd round(Kris Wilson). Those picks were nuts, based on our needs at the time, and this would be also. I cannot believe sharp guys like Pioli and Haley would be so foolish.

that i’ll be pissed if we take a OL man in the 1st.

you first sentence says it all. none of the LTs are that much better then albert, so by picking a LT with our #5 we are essentially paying #5 money for a stud RT or G which is absolutely ludicrous.

I think our biggest need is at NT, as our offense progressed alot more than our defense, the past few games. I say try for a Dan Williams, and a dominant O-Lineman, not necessarly a Tackle, in the first round, if possible. The only way I wouldn’t trade down is if Berry was there, or , by some slim chance Suh. Remember, we also have a high 2nd rounder, which is almost as good as a first rounder. The problem is, the top 5 picks seem to be a curse anymore, instead of being in demand, due to the cost, and it is hard to trade down anymore, unless a team is dead set on a player. I would love to have 2 first rounders and possibly 3 – 2nd rounders, by trading down (we already have 2).

Just a follow up to my last post. I think it is important to jump on a high pick NT, as the draft is much deeper at O-linemen, than someone who could step in and play NT in their first year, which I still feel is our number one priority. We can get very good O- linemen in the 2nd round. Now, I’m sure Weiss is going to want an offensive star, Crennell a defensive star, and so on,so Haley and Pioli will make the ultimate decision, but I would hate to be arguing who to take. Everybody will have a valid argument.
