31. Kansas City Chiefs – Alex Leatherwood, OT, Alabama
The Chiefs have made necessary additions on the interior this offseason, but offensive tackle is a position that the organization must address through the draft. Leatherwood is a guard for some and a tackle for others. Regardless, he is a battle-tested blocker ready to start from day one.
63. Kansas City Chiefs – Aaron Robinson, CB, UCF
94. Kansas City Chiefs – Nico Collins, Michigan
136. Kansas City Chiefs – Patrick Jones, DE, Pittsburgh
144. Kansas City Chiefs – Michal Menet, OC, Penn State
175. Kansas City Chiefs – Kenny Yeboah, TE, Ole Miss
181. Kansas City Chiefs – Buddy Johnson, LB, Texas A&M
207. Kansas City Chiefs – Jamien Sherwood, S, Auburn [Reply]
I love Brugler but I don't like any of these picks, really. Or at least not the top 3.
I don't like Leatherwood's fit and don't see the Chiefs taking him in front of Cosmi or Radunz.
I think Robinson is, as Taylor suggests, a "luxury" pick at 63, especially compared to the names on the board there. Perkins, Tremble, and Rodgers are all much more valuable to KC and more needed.
I don't get the Nico Collins thing. Brugler keeps mocking it. The guy could be a successful NFL receiver, but his main knock is that he doesn't separate well over the middle of the field. Um. That's... kind of important to Andy Reid. I don't see that, either.
The rest of it looks fine.
To me, if I'm running that mock and the board falls the same way, I take:
1. Either Cosmi or Radunz (or Little or even Spencer Brown if that's their guy, paired with a trade-down if necessary)
2. Amari Rodgers (NFL bloodlines, separates like a MOFO, works the middle well, built like a RB and good after the catch)
3. Patrick Jones (he fell all the way to round 4 in Brugler's mock, but I don't believe he will in real life. Needs to develop but could spend this year doing that and also get pass down reps and add some juice to the rush)
Rest of it looks good. Throw in a CB that fits the Chiefs' scheme instead of Jones in the 4th, and call it a day.

Are these in order? Because some of these guys are going higher than you have them. [Reply]
