so I suppose in this scenario, Rankin is your swing T and a back-up G option.
I'm relying on ONE of Glasgow/Ruiz to take Reiter's spot. I'm assuming the other would either take the LG spot or provide competition for Wisniewski. Regardless, you're much more talented and deeper than 2019. Akers, Damien Wilson, Darwin, and Darrel should end up your RB group. I assume Hardman takes Sammy's #2 and D-Rob is your possession guy. On defense, your d-line is set with Clark, Jones, Nnadi, Saunders, Pennel, Kpass, Suggs with what I expect will be this year's surprise in Speaks. Kpass looks like an NFL player with this staff, I expect Speaks to as well. Your LB corps returns Hitch, D'OD, Niemann and replaces Wilson and Lee with Shoebert and the two rookies. Shoebert is good in coverage, the rooks better against the run. The hope is that in 2021 or 2022 you can let Hitch go without a drop-off. Your corner group is Ward, Fenton, Gladney, and Breeland for veteran steadiness. Your safeties I had to stand pat; Honey Badger, Thornhill, Watts are a pretty good group. I think D'OD was drafted to take Sorensen's spot, and is playing more now in that sort of hybrid S/LB role. I hate Dirty Dan less than I used to, but he's still too expensive. Anyway, D'OD is bigger and maybe faster than Dan. and I'd totally bring back Moore to back-up Patrick. |

Chiefs win the SB, pick #32. GET ON THE BUS!
This is how you do a Mock draft. Much better than having us lose to the ****ing Pats all year. |

You know who I want to replace Sammy Watkins who would be a great fit here and would also be cheap?
Randall Cobb. He was the 3rd receiver in Dallas and had 800+ yards and 3 TD’s with Dak Prescott. He fits exactly what Andy loves in his weapons. He’s very versatile just like Tyreek and Hardman. For $5 million? Sign me up. Imagine having 3 guys who can play outside, in the slot, in the backfield and speciality plays. He isn’t what he was, but he is still very much a great option for WR3 and excellent depth for such a cheap price. |

Cobb has an excellent catch rate over several years. He is almost always over 65%, which is very good for a WR.

the only reason I would prefer to NOT pick up Cobb is his size. We've already got two short speedsters. Cobb is sort of in the same mold. It wouldn't be a big problem or anything, but I'd like at least one bigger, sort of physical YAC guy to threaten secondaries in that specific way.
IF we're either re-signing D-Rob or picking up FA that is. but like I said, as long as we're not paying a bunch, Cobb is a weapon. I just wouldn't pay too much for what would be our 4th or 5th option. |

Daniel Sorenson might be worth keeping if he is only counting 3.7m against the cap.

Why you cutting our only competent linebacker in Wilson?
No thanks to that. Don't think you're getting Schobert for anything near 7m per. I wouldn't touch Gladney in the first. The 2nd maybe. Other than that I like the draft scenario and other moves even if I don't think Akers is there at 96. |

Didn't read the whole thing yet. Will after the SB and subsequent celebration.
But do we really want to let Sorenson go? He played 108 snaps against HOU. And apparently he plays a similar number of snaps in every game. That suggests that he's valuable to the team. And pretty cheap. And I would be shocked if Suggs returned next year. If we win the SB, I figure he's going to head immediately to BAL and retire as a Raven on a one day contract. |

I based contracts on estimates I found hunting around on the 'net, and if I couldn't find one, I guessed by a comp. If I keep Wilson, I skip Shobert, and just draft the two kids I guess. I just like Shobert's cover skills and since RB's kill us in the flats he'd be a net upgrade. Can't keep everyone we'd like to. Gladney in every mock I run (and I've been running one pretty much every morning as I mainline my first cup of coffee) goes right there at the end of the first/top of the second, no matter who's board I use and on two different sites. I've only read the scouting report, not seen him play, so you may be right, but that's where he's slotted to go and in this mock, he was the best CB available and within a couple spots BAA. I'd noticed that the CB's all go quick and are gone mostly by the time we'd pick in the 2nd. Akers is there at that spot in most mocks I run; the RB's in general seem to come off later than a lot of people think. I think maybe that's because as most teams are spreading the ball out and throwing it, the 'old school' running teams kind of already have their bellcow. or the mocks could just be wrong. Akers I just like his skill-set. He's like a more talented Damien Wilson. Should have a high floor and possible star ceiling. |

Suggs-you may well be right; or he might want to play one more year. If he does, he might want to end his career with back-to-back rings. Playing here, we can use him rotationally, keep him fresh, and he'll already be in the flow. |

Schobert is one of the top few linebackers in the entire NFL. He's going to demand at least double your figure and probably add a couple million to that. Shit, Kwon Alexander and Anthony Barr both signed for 13.5 last year and neither are anywhere near Schobert's level. I think closer to Mosley's 17.0 per is a reality. I went with 16 in my early mocks that had him in it.
