Hello Chiefs fans. I'm picking for you at the Cincinnati Bengals SBNation site.
I see NT as your biggest need, but Poe looked so bad at Memphis that I can't see him at all for all the flashing lights that spell out BUST. Against some of the weakest competition in the FBS he had very little production. I think NT is a spot that can be addressed in the 3rd round and you still get the best prospect available, since Poe is purely a workout warrior.
I see a lot of mocks with you taking DeCastro or Keuchly, but guards don't go that high and I see LB as the strength of your team.
I'm planning to try and trade down, maybe get both of the Bengals picks so I can get you Stephon Gilmore & Devon Still, but I wanted to see what you guys are talking about first.
There's still WRs like Kendall Wright, but he's Wes Welker/Steve Smith sized. Not too likely we get another one of those guys. Riley Rieff is a pretty solid tackle prospect, and you can never have too many of those. Similarly we have a pass rush specialist available in Courtney Upshaw that has terrorized QBs in a very tough conference.
In our mock the typical guys are already gone. Luck, Griffin, Kalil, Blackmon, & Claiborne, plus Melvin Ingram & Quentin Coples. There are 3 more picks to be made before we're up, so the poll contains a short list of who's available right now.
So, Chiefs fans, who's the pick?
