Nation Wide Mock Draft

Hello Chiefs Fans,

I had an idea for a mock draft in which your sports nation site acts as your team. Over the next few months I plan to visit each team's site and allow for each reader to help pick your team's draft pick. Please answer the poll to select your team's draft pick.

Star-divide

Just to give you a little more on this idea and myself, I am a writer for bleacherbumsports.net and will continue to organize all of the draft information I receive through my site. The poll will be up for 3 days after which the player with the most votes is your teams draft pick. I will then move on to the next site and have them pick from which players are left. This will only be a first round draft and can not involve trades so please pick where your team currently is. I cannot verify in the proper amount of time if the other team would accept your trade.

I would really appreciate everyones help with this. Thanks in advance! - Sam

*Note* I flipped a coin and the Seahawks won the 11th overall pick.

Current Draft Results:

1. Colts - QB Andrew Luck

2. Rams - WR Justin Blackmon

3. Vikings - OT Matt Kalil

4. Browns - QB Robert Griffin III

5. Buccaneers - CB Morris Claiborne

6. Redskins - OT Riley Reiff

7. Jaguars - DE Quinton Coples

8. Dolphins - DE Melvin Ingram

9. Panthers - CB Dre Kirkpatrick

10. Bills - LB Courtney Upshaw

11. Seahawks - RB Trent Richardson

The Poll will be open until Feb 15 at 1pm

odds are if RGIII goes past st. louis at 2 via trade out chiefs will move up or someone else will.

love this post cause its cool but there without a doubt will be some form of trade.

Yeah, its just to crazy to do trades in this scenario

Once someone purposed a trade, everyone on this site here would have to vote on it (the proposal) then after a couple day it would get voted on the other team and if they send back a counter offer… the whole thing just gets out of control after awhile so thats why i had to limit it.

Its also just fun for a mock draft to be done be each team respectively, instead of just doing it myself and trying to understand each teams needs, i leave it up to the people that know most about their own team. (all of you)

by JetMet on Feb 12, 2012 4:26 PM CST up reply actions  

the correct answer is "DeCastro"

“Martin” would be acceptable as well

by stagdsp on Feb 12, 2012 4:48 PM CST via mobile reply actions  

yep

so would mike Adams IMO. I have him much higher than most but I only use the eyeball test.

I'll take it!

…………………I will say though, that if Charles, Berry and Moeaki weren’t hurt, they would have been a playoff team anyway. So with them coming back and a solid draft and FA signing, they should be there next year. IMO it will be a huge dissapointment if they weren’t.

impact wise

does the 3-4 DE position require a 1st round pick, the past not-withstanding?

by Steve_Chiefs on Feb 12, 2012 6:32 PM CST up reply actions  

IF it was a position of need

Brockers would be a good choice

by stagdsp on Feb 12, 2012 7:48 PM CST via mobile up reply actions  

as a 3-4 DE

Either would be good, IF the Chiefs didn’t have Dorsey anymore

by stagdsp on Feb 12, 2012 9:05 PM CST via mobile up reply actions  

Also Brockers looks like he could have a hell of an impact

Will he reach his potential? Eh who knows.. but a ’’prototype’’ 5 tech with good pass rushing potential.. find a place for him

idk

seems like overkill, considering the other needs

by stagdsp on Feb 13, 2012 8:38 AM CST up reply actions  

All depends on FA

Nicks/Grubbs could kill the need/want for DeCastro, I’m not overly impressed with Martin/Reiff so just went with BPA pretty much

I’d sure as heck want to trade down in that scenario, then

Would be the best option

Not sure who would drop in order to dangle for a trade down

Eh I don't have Tannehill anywhere close to the top 10

Martin could be a possibility.. but a 2nd tier OT isn’t really something to jump up for

Brockers.. who knows where he is rated by some, a young DT without much experience

Brockers is a big climber in the rankings

I think he’s one NE would trade up for, maybe

NE would likely go after a DE before DT though

Of course, there is not a lot of talent for pure pass rushers in this draft and NE does play a hybrid 3-4/4-3

I chose Other and my personal selection would be Cordy Glenn (OL Georgia)

He’s a big man who’s got a lot of athleticism. Not considered to be a great pass blocker but his forte is run blocking. He’s got a lot of collegiate experience and he’s played several different spots on the line. Good choice for right tackle but he would be a good fit as a guard.

I know I should use the mock thread but using this anyways.

I like this scenario, doesnt solve all our problems or any for that matter but here goes.
FA- G ben grubbs
round 1- trade out, pick up early 20’s first and early 20s second round picks
round 1- via trade, TE Allen, clemson, 6’4" 255, basically a stud blocking and catching.
I know I know we got tony and this is not a need but it is what it is.
round 2- CB Minnifield, virginia, 6’ 190, nobody throws at him, this guy is nice. and let carr walk you just upgraded in talent at CB and it didnt tie up 20+ million at two cornerback positions when you only got 120 million to spend soon.
round 2- via trade, who ever you feel like adding in, have fun.
round 3- OT Massie, ole miss, 6’6" 315, should be a solid RT.
round 4- NT akiem hicks, regina U., cough canada, 6’4" 325 he was nice at the shrine game, was at LSU went to canada dude has some issues not going to lie but put him behind Powe see what happens. he has the tools.
round 5-7- have fun filling it in.

our O-Line, LT albert, LG grubbs, C Hudson, RG asamoah, RT massie. thats nice.
upgraded CB with talent we can build on with minnifield in my opinion, got a stud TE to double with injury prone tony and a matchup nightmare, while still having a ton of money to lock up bowe or do basically whatever you want and a early 20’s 2nd round pick not used yet, nor rounds 5-7 used yet for whatever. fill in the rest, say this sucks, atleast I didnt use a fan post up doing this lol.

by kc-twitch on Feb 12, 2012 10:29 PM CST reply actions  

Minnifield!

Although I wouldn’t let Carr walk. I would try Minnifield out as a FS in the base, in the slot or outwide with Flowers covering the short/quick guys in the slot in subs

With your trade scenario, I would rather get OL Adams with late first rd pick.

Then come back with TE Allen, Fleener,or Charles in the second and then ILB Burfict. If Burfict is gone go with Minnifield. Third rd. go with FS Lloka or Martin. or C Ben Jones.

by Mustang fever on Feb 13, 2012 9:17 AM CST up reply actions  

I dont see allen lasting that long though?

if you read on bobbie massie you dont really hear bad things about the guy, you hear how he is just dominate at times though. I really like that what I hear about him. with adams you hear alot of negatives im not sure I like that to much if im using a first round pick on someone I dont want a ton of negatives.

by kc-twitch on Feb 13, 2012 11:40 AM CST up reply actions  

I'm still waiting for a scouting report from NFP on Bobby Massie

also Janzen Jackson the Safety that played with Berry at Tennessee for awhile lokks interesting again no Scouting report from NFP

I did find this on Massie

Bobbie Massie, Mississippi, 6-6, 315, 5.15, JR
… Plays RT for Ole Miss but has the size and athleticism to figure as a LT at the next level; actually originally signed with Virginia Tech and was heavily recruited by Alabama but opted to go to Ole Miss where he started from day one; has excellent size with long arms and quick feet; gets decent knee bend with good balance, but needs to concentrate on keeping pads low; can also change direction and can cut off the edge, solid drive blocker who finishes off block.

from The GREAT BLUE NORTH DRAFT REPORT is a division of SQUITERLAND ENTERPRISES, Ottawa, Ontario,Canada

by Steve_Chiefs on Feb 13, 2012 1:20 PM CST up reply actions  

Also interesting - some worrisome things for the supposed overall #2 pick
Matt Kalil, Southern California, 6-6, 295, 5.05, JR … Former superstar recruit kept Tyron Smith, the 9th player selected at the 2011 draft, at RT last fall; has all the tools including long arms and the athletic feet of an elite NFL LT; not huge at under 300 pounds but is physical run defender with a real burst of the line of scrimmage and the strength to maul opponents; can als get to the second level and make a block in space; needs to bring it on every play, though, as he has been inconsistent in the past and will lose focus on occasion has good football bloodlines as father player professionally, while brother Ryan is currently a starter with Carolina.

by Steve_Chiefs on Feb 13, 2012 1:25 PM CST up reply actions  

i choose other

and pick riley reiff. We all know egoli likes them Iowa players.

yea late in the draft.

since he picked tony round 4 the first year and stanzi round 5 the next year guess next in order is picking another Iowa player round 6 this year. lol.

by kc-twitch on Feb 13, 2012 10:09 AM CST up reply actions  

Tony was round 3 IIRC

Asamoah, then traded back up for Tony

by BAMFSpecialOps on Feb 13, 2012 12:48 PM CST up reply actions  

oh yea traded one of our 3 5th round picks to move up, I remember now.

so if we picked tony from iowa in round 3, then the next year picked stanzi from iowa in round 5 guess this year we will pick a kid from iowa in round 7.

by kc-twitch on Feb 13, 2012 1:30 PM CST up reply actions  

Or none at all haha

Two QBs, two OTs, two CBs, three pass rushers, a WR and a RB.

Seems about right. I like these large scale surveys, interesting how close they get sometimes.

Also looks like not many people read down the whole list :)

Picking here is really the last, worst option KC can take. There’s nobody here that fits a need who won’t be available much later in the first round.

I was back and forth between DeCastro and Adams, went with DeCastro because he seems like the safer pick, what with Adams reported inconsistent play. But we could really use a RT with ability to backup the LT.

by Brsrkr on Feb 13, 2012 4:19 PM CST reply actions  

yeah, but we could get almost any RT in 2nd Round and he's be an upgrade to BRich, right?

so with that thought process, it’s imperative to NAIL that 1st Round pick … immediate starter and impact player, and I can’t imagine there being anyone more of an impact than DeCastro: unlike a RB he plays every down … he’d be crucial for opening holes on the inside in short yardage, pulling and blocking on sweeps or other runs to the right, and protecting the QB on every pass play

every down, every game (unlike a Trent Richardson, for example, who would split carries with JC and be on the field for maybe half the plays at most, and even then only gets the ball on 1/3 – 1/4 of those plays he’s on the field)

top it off with DeCastro being a true Top Ten talent (gradewise, overall) there’s simply no other player available that even comes close to making as much sense

Except he wouldn't be guaranteed to start immediately.

He’d have to beat out Lilja. And that’s not a given, Lilja played damn well in 2010, and he’d have a MUCH better handle on the mental aspects of the NFL game, AND we very likely will have a new starter at RT which would make Lilja’s veteran presence even more valuable.

Adams, I think would have a better chance to start right off the bat. But DeCastro is a safer shot to be a solid player for a long time. Thus my conundrum, and why it would be better to trade down. Get a Glenn or Zeitler type guard to learn from Lilja, and that 2nd round RT, AND maybe a 2nd or 3rd round TE.

Or even a first round TE.

Possibilities are endless if we find a low-drafting team with a specific need.

speaking of close

The Redskins took Reiff, second was kirkpatrick by 6 votes… there were 245 total. But Reiff only wound up with 22% of the vote… that one was all over the board.

by JetMet on Feb 13, 2012 7:43 PM CST up reply actions  

Huh. I bet they want to trade up for a QB, too.

Martin seems like the "right 56" guy

But I can see them taking DeCasto if they perceive guard as the bigger need.
