I thought it might be good/fun to have a "pro" mock repository for draft nerd season.
So, I think Dane Brugler is pretty outstanding at the mock draft game. Probably the best guy available. If you have The Athletic, it's always worth reading.
Post good/interesting/funny ones you run across. I can update the OP with links and such as they come.
Chiefs take Kadarius Toney, WR, Florida (1.32) and Dayo Odeyinbingo, DE, Vanderbilt (2.64).
Brentley Wiseman | 1.15.21 Draft Network Chiefs take Wyatt Davis, OG, The Second State University of Ohio (1.32), Elijah Moore, WR, Ole Miss (2.64), and Walker Little, OT, Stanford(3.95).
Duncan’s Most Recent
Terrance Marshall Jr, WR, LSU (2.39), Teven Walker, OL, Oklahoma State (2.64), Dabo Odeyingbo, DE, Vanderbilt (3.73), Jabril Cox, LB, LSU (3.95), Jeremy Ruckert, TE, The Second State University of Ohio (4.128)Shaun Jolly, CB, Appy State (5.160), Josh Bell, OT, Marshall (7.222)
I’ll keep updating this as the draft nears. Love this current group but think all of these guys rise as the draft approaches. [Reply]

Not in my mind, no.
The sweet spot of IOL is around midway through the 2nd to the end of the 3rd, at least the way I see it. [Reply]
The Chiefs need to get more physical up front along the offensive line. Wyatt Davis has the athletic ability, size, and strength to be a difference-making guard from day one, and ensures that Patrick Mahomes has all of the time in the world to continue to make magic. This would be one of my favorite picks in the first round.
64.
Chiefs
Elijah Moore
WR, Ole Miss
95.
Chiefs
Walker Little
OT, Stanford
This is about as realistic as me buying the Chiefs from the Hunt Family tomorrow. [Reply]

I felt more comfortable filling our other needs then, now I want a WR or EDGE in the 1st. There will be value there.
I've really gotten on the Pringle bandwagon. Not saying we shouldn't bolster the WR corps, especially if both Watkins and Robinson don't make it back, but I feel the kid has earned a shot at the #3 or 4 spot. I think I want a young stud pass rusher on the other side of (a healthy, hopefully) Clark in the first or second. [Reply]

I'm leaning edge too, but I think Clark has a crohns issue or something similar. I don't think it's going to get better. [Reply]
Here's an updated one I did today from PFN. I trade down a BUNCH once I got into the second round.
1.32 - Teven Jenkins, OT, Oklahoma State. Mayfield also was on the board. I took the more proven, more versatile player.
3.72 - Dayo Odeyingbo, DE, Vandy.
3.95 - Marquez Stevenson, WR, Houston
4.101 - Tyree Gillespie, S, Missouri (very versatile, can play single high, good hitter/tackler)
4.119 - Payton Turner, DE, Houston (another big DE with versatility and scheme fit)
5.158 - Quinn Meinerz, C, Wisconsin-Whitewater (My new crush, no way he lasts this long after Senior Bowl performance).
6.163 - Austin Watkins, WR, UAB (also won't last this long after the Senior Bowl) [Reply]

Obviously that's a little difficult with not having a 1st round pick until 2020 and picking so late in the round, but I think this would be a good time to start adding some real impact players regardless of the position.
There are likely a few positions you can count out for rd 1 like QB and RB, but beyond that I want to see us take a top talent that slipped who can hopefully hit the ground running and not take 2-3 years to develop like we've seen with several of our recent higher picks.
um.
Sneed and Clyde look like stars already from the 2020 draft, and that's not counting solid contributions from Danna and Wharton. Add in Gay, who we knew was raw but a physical freak of a talent and I'd say that's a pretty good draft at the back of each round.
