(610 Sports) -- Here is mock 4.0 with all 8 selections. Comp picks that were awarded land the Chiefs received an extra 4th rounder and a 5th rounder for losing Kendall Fuller and Emmanuel Ogbah. The actual order in round 6 hasn’t been determined. (It was the trade for Deandre Washington)
With the Chiefs releasing Eric Fisher and Mitch Schwartz finding lineman is imperative. The Chiefs did not land Trent Williams at LT and Riley Reiff signed with Cincinnati. Alejandro Villanueva still remains an option (would love to see this) but left tackle seems to still be the biggest need despite signing somebody in free agency. The guard situation is nailed down with Joe Thuney and Kyle long and there is some competition there at will with LDT coming in and Nick Allegretti. No Ju-JU and the Chiefs bring back Demarcus Robinson coming back and I still believe they need to draft WR.
Bottom line is this will be the most fun I have had watching a draft in the last decade considering how vital this draft is to filling some positions for the Chiefs.
Round 1: No. 31 overall
Round 2: No. 63
Round 3: No. 94
Round 4: Nos. 136, 144
Round 5: Nos. 175, 181
Round 6: No. 207 (from Steelers through Dolphins)
MY MOCK 1.0
MY MOCK 2.0
MY MOCK 3.0
CHIEFS MOCK 4.0:
Round 1 – No. 31- Liam Eichenberg, Tackle- Notre Dame 6’6” 302
Notre Dame has been a lineman factory this past decade and Brian Kelly has had a first rounder at tackle every year he has been there. Had Tevan Jenkins here in the first mock and a good chance he is taken but a bunch of his experience had been at right tackle. Eichenberg is ready to step in as a starter and to me that is most important for the Chiefs and he is a left tackle. Probably could stand to gain a few more pounds buy so did Eric Fisher and that wasn’t a problem. Most game film of Eichenberg is good….he did however struggle a bit against Alabama in the playoffs but he was an All American on most list and is a guy ready to go.
Plus he didn’t allow a sack on 400 plus attempts this year and hasn’t given up a sack since Sept 29, 2018:
Round 2-pick 63-Brevin Jordan, Tight End- Miami-6’3 245
With Kyle Pitts and Pat reiermuth off the board this would give the Chiefs a future TE1—Had 38 catches for 576 yards and 7 touchdowns with a 15.2 average yard per catch which were all career highs.
Not only can he stretch the field as a receiver as a tight end he can also block which would help out the run game immensely.
He has developed each year including starting 11 games as a true freshman. The Chiefs have shown interest in the tight end.
People might not see the need in tight end but having another TE to go along with Kelce is imperative. The Chiefs like using multiple tight ends and imagine one with the skill set of Brevin Jordan. Look at Kelce’s #s to see how much the Chiefs like using the tight end in this offense. Plus they can run the heck out of 12 personnel (1 back and 2 tight ends) and have another pass receiver as tight end. I view the tight end as important as WR in this offense. Staying with this pick I just really like this player.
MIAMI PRO DAY MARCH 29
Round 3 – No. 94-Trey Hill Center Georgia 6’4” 331 lbs.
6’4”-Big physical center who could play other positions on the interior of the line. I went Hill instead of Josh Myers here because the Chiefs love to grab players from the SEC. Not easily moved with the bull rush and I feel can hold his own with
interior pass rush.
TONY PAULINE SCOUTING REPORT (PROFOOTBALLNETWORK.COM)
Positives: Nice-sized center who is fundamentally sound, fires off the snap, and consistently gets leverage on opponents. Stay square, seals defenders from the action, and out-positions them from the play.
Displays solid footwork in space with the ability to slide laterally and is very effective blocking in motion. Quickly gets out to the second level and annihilates linebackers. Easily adjusts to hit a moving target, shows great awareness, and keeps his head on a swivel.
FROM LANCE ZIERLEIN-(NFL.COM)-
Strengths
Has experience at center and guard.
Uses mass and girth to his advantage at point of attack.
Adequate snap-to-step quickness as lateral blocker.
Powerful flipper able to stuff and tee up block for his guard on combos.
Generally under control working up to Mike linebackers.
Adequate athleticism for a big man getting into space.
Sees rush games and makes proper adjustments.
Gains depth and changes levels to protect against twists.
PRO DAY MARCH 17TH
Round 4 – No. 144 - Wyatt Hubert DE Kansas State-6’-3”270 lbs. (comp pick for losing Kendall Fuller)
Will probably be switching to linebacker in the NFL. I have watched him a ton and the motor this guy has you just can’t teach. Was standing up on the line and thrived when he was. Back-to-back first-team All-Big 12. 20 sacks and 33 tackles for loss in his 3 years at KSU. I am staying with him with this pick I just like the motor too much.
PRO DAY HELD: MARCH 9TH
Round 5 – No. 175 Keith Taylor, CB- Washington-6’2” 191 lbs. (comp pick for losing Emmanuel Oghah)
Haven’t hit corner and with Breeland and Ward with free agency status, this might be a need. Last year Sneed was a 4th rounder so I really trust Veach and input from Spags in these rounds. Press man or zone corner and has played on inside and outside and a very good run tackler. Elevated himself in Senior Bowl. Won the Earle T. Glant Tough Husky Award. Touch physical corner and still a position they should look at in this spot.
PRO DAY MARCH 30TH
Round 5 – No. 181-Monty Rice, LB- Georgia 6’1” 235 lbs
Linebacker who can really move sideline to sideline with great range. One of 5 finalists for the Butkus Award and a tackling machine. Brett Veach likes players from the SEC and he would like Monty Rice. First-team AP All-SEC. Would be a good addition in the future and develop right alongside Willie Gay.
Tony Pauline’s scouting report (Profootballnetwork.com)
Positives: Slightly undersized linebacker who displays speed in every direction. Efficient breaks down well and takes proper angles to the action. Fast in pursuit possesses a closing burst and attacks ball handlers. Instinctively quickly reads and diagnoses the action, and flashes on the scene. Effectively quarterbacks the defense making the calls. Gets depth on pass drops, goes sideline to sideline, and makes plays in space against speedy receivers.
PRO DAY WAS MARCH 17TH
Round 6 – No. 207 - Jonathan Adams WR Arkansas State 6’3” 206 lbs. (Acquired from Miami in exchange for RB DeAndre Washington)
79 Catches, 1,111 yards, and 12 touchdowns. A tough physical receiver that can high-point the football. This guy would be a good fit with the Chiefs and his size. Great at using his body to post up and get the ball. His talent was on full display against Kansas State this season. Really made me take notice.
From Tony Pauline (Profootballnetwork.com)
Positives: Two-year starter who posted a career-best eight touchdowns last season. Long, sure-handed
wideout who wins out for the contested throws. Settles into the soft spot of the defense, uses his frame
to shield away defenders, and extends his hands to offer the quarterback a target.
Snatches the ball away from his frame and displays outstanding eye/hand coordination. Tracks the pass
in the air, uses his hands to separate from defenders, and nicely times receptions. Plays big football and
wins out in battles. Nicely adjusts to the errant pass and makes the reception in stride.
From Lance Zierlein (NFL.COM)-
Strengths:
Clears press and stacks cornerbacks with hand usage.
Has talent to bring in circus catches from time to time.
Went for 90-plus yards in eight of his 10 games in 2020.
Greatly improved at finishing contested catches.
Maintains downfield positioning with his frame.
Size and body control create late catch area.
Makes sudden stabs on back-shoulder throws.
Created defensive pass interference penalties for his offense.
