Chiefs Well Represented At Pro Days

Berry, Hughes, Asamoah, Troup, Johnson, and Lindley look like they could be gone before where you have them. But part of evaluating a scenario like yours or Matt Stone’s is that one makes the assumption that the players listed will even be there. If you think Okung and Pouncey will both be gone before Matt Stone has KC taking them, well, fine, but it’s equally valid to say that Berry and those others will be gone before where you have KC taking them. I think it’s fair to suspend that point and evaluate whether the players themselves would be a good idea. Your other point, which is that Matt’s draft doesn’t do anything for the defense, is much more valid IMO. Troup, Sharpton, and Church wouldn’t represent much of a dedication to improving the defense, so I agree to an extent. But it’s also true that your draft scenario doesn’t really do anything for the offense, except for Asamoah, who probably won’t beat out Waters or Lilja anytime soon, and Walton, who probably won’t beat out Wiegmann the first year.

Look above the draft post. CB/Lito Shepard addresses a much needed CB for 2-3 years, NT/Gerard Warren buys 2-3 years and much needed competition with Shaun Smith(who may play 8-10 games if we are lucky), and Joey Porter upgrades OLB for at least 2 years (+better than Vrabel).Keep in mind no ones draft is perfect because everyone places values on players different than others. I used walterfootball as my basis and felt it was not out of line. In my mock I drafted Okung because of obvious reasons and he may still fall to us. I selected 2A Pauncey based on a huge need for best Center and where I have seen him in most mock drafts (do not feel mine is far off where he will go). I know you think my 2B Dorin Dickerson pick is a reach but based on what I have read about the guy and Mike Mayock saying he won’t get out of the 2nd rd, that is where he goes on my draft(check his combine and career stats) the guy is really a big WR and should be converted to that. My 3rd rd pick is traded to Chicago for TE/Greg Olsen which would give Cassel another legitimate weapon in our system of uncertain weapons(you cannot tell me that we do not need a TE).4th rd I have taking NT’s Torrel Troup or Linval Joseph (again addressing our defense) 5A WR’s Easley or Shipley who should fall a bit based on speed.5B ILB Sharpton (addresses defense again) and may replace Williams or Johnson in future. 5C Barry Church (addresses defense again) and may be immediate starter. Chiefs have already expressed interest in Dorin Dickerson and Church and Church may go in the 4th rd based on that.
 If I changed my mock a little based on taking Berry 1st this is how it would look.
1. S/Eric Berry
2A WR/Golden Tate or LT/Charles Brown
2B LT/Tony Washington or NT/Cam Thomas
3 sent to Chicago for TE/Greg Olsen who is a huge upgrade to current TE’s
4. Center Eric Olsen (knows Weis offense and can play Guard or Center)
5A WR/ Marcus Easley or CB/FS Myron Lewis
5B ILB/Daryl Sharpton or DE/C.J Wilson
5C KR/WR Trindon Holliday or G/Thomas Austin

Biig C I would not even consider Asamoah with that high of a pick, and would not even draft your last 3 picks….so your 1,2A,3,4 would be ok. and is no more realistic than the next guys mock. Plus you didn’t address the biggest issue we have and that is a LT…are you kidding?!
