I try to stay away from trading down just because I don’t see Veach ending up with 8-10 players at the end of the draft.

Yeah, I don't see him trading down. Like I said before, his penchant is for trading up or away, not down.

I keep running mocks without any trade downs and I keep ending up with either Kaiir Elam or Brisker. Then a guy like Sanders in the 2nd.

I really think this draft is setup for a 1st round DB and a 2nd round DE.

What sites do you all use for mock drafts?

For sims, I use Pro Football Network and The Draft Network. Most are using those 2, I believe.

The PFF draft sim is excellent as well. So is the NFL mock draft database site.

I like using a lot of different sites. Good to see different rankings of guys.

Links to all of these should be in the OP if you open the spoiler link.

Let's work on getting you more excited.

The only thing about Clark is that these guys all have him ranked way too low IMO. He's going to be a 1st rounder, I'm betting my life savings of $0.03 on it.

Ok, HOLY SHIT! One could only hope! 1st HOME RUN draft ever?

30.

Kansas City Chiefs
Cameron Thomas
EDGE, San Diego State
62.

Arnold Ebiketie
EDGE, Penn State
94.

Chad Muma
LB, Wyoming
102.

Kansas City Chiefs
Greg Dulcich
TE, UCLA

I could be persuaded!

I would be really shocked if he was available at 30. The most impressive receiver prospect since Randy Moss imo. A game wrecker.

He flashes downhill and has great closing speed and power. No doubt.

Didn’t see a lot of coverage reps on that video, but the interception down the left sideline was impressive.

Still, it’s hard for a LB to get into the first. Lloyd and Dean look like locks. With the depth at DE, CB, and WR, it’s hard for me to see.

DE
Hutchinson
Thibodeaux
Karlaftis
Johnson II
Ojabo
Trevon Walker

CB
McDuffie
Gardner
Stingley
Elam

WR
Williams
Burks
Dotson
London

Throw in Neal, Ekwonu, and Cross at T, a few guards, Linderbaum, Lloyd and Dean, and we’re over 20 picks already. Without getting to QB or DT or S.

I think you’d get heavy odds and big payout on Clark being a first-round pick in actuality.

Sweet, checking those out now

Interesting 4 rounder. I traded down to 33 because I felt like I could still get Cam Thomas there, Johnson was off the board. As the picks fell, it was good value to double up on what are probably our biggest areas of weakness. I decided to try to make them strengths moving forward. I wouldn't hate this strategy come the draft, honestly.

KC
33.
Cameron Thomas
EDGE San Diego State-prototype edge rusher, productive and athletic.

KC
62.
Sam Williams
EDGE Mississippi-all the tools are there; some red flags off the field but could be a steal here.

KC
70.
John Metchie III
WR Alabama-may not help much in '22, but #1 potential moving forward.

trade icon
KC
94.
Alec Pierce
WR Cincinnati-big, fast, physical 'X' receiver

KC
134.
Tyler Goodson
RB Iowa-just a good, solid running back all around.

That's an interesting draft. Being able to double down and get Williams in Round 2 seems perfect if it falls that way. Mafe also works on that double-down, I think.
