Staylor26’s Holiday Mock (All rounds)
* Chiefs receive a 3rd round comp pick in 2021 and 2022 after Bieniemy gets a HC job
* Chiefs get a 4th round comp pick for Kendall Fuller * Chiefs get a 5th round comp pick for Emmanuel Ogbah 1. Azeez Ojulari, EDGE, Georgia- The Chiefs take the young pass rusher from Georgia who has a great combination of explosion and ability to bend the edge. Ojulari was one of the best pass rushers in the SEC this year and should be able to start right away opposite of Clark. Biggest need of 2021 IMO. 2. Chazz Surratt, LB, UNC- I promise I’m not just copying kccrow with this pick. I love Surratt and think he’d be a perfect fit to pair with Gay for the foreseeable future. Surratt and Gay both have great size and speed, and they both can get after the QB too. The possibilities for Spag’s blitz packages are endless with these two on the field together. 3. Tylan Wallace, WR, Oklahoma St.- Wallace is an ideal replacement for Watkins at the X. Like Watkins, he has enough speed to be a fit in this offense while offering you a different skill set from Hardman and Hill. This team needs to take a page out of the Steelers draft playbook and take a WR just about every year as long as Mahomes is our QB. 3. Tyler Linderbaum, C, Iowa- Pass blocking is most important when looking for OL in this offense, and Linderbaum who’s relatively new to playing OL, is already looking like a great pass blocker. Unlike Reiter, I think he can develop into a decent run blocker as well. 4. Jake Ferguson, TE, Wisconsin-Finally they invest in that TE2 spot. Ferguson is like a poor man’s Kelce with his ability after the catch. I think he’s a perfect fit for this offense and would give us somebody who could potentially replace Kelce in the future or at least fill in if Kelce were to get injured at any time in the next few years. 4. Caden Sterns, S, Texas- I think safety is quietly a need going into 2021 I’d like to see the Chiefs have the kind of depth at safety that they currently have at corner. Stern is an upside pick that hasn’t quite lived up to his hype/potential. I trust the staff to get the most out of a pick like this. 5. Khalil Herbert, RB, Virginia Tech- Herbert is a very good all-around 3 down RB with a good combination of size and athleticism. He fits the profile for Chiefs RB’s and would be an upgrade over Williams and Thompson. He can become RB2 in 2022 when the Chiefs eventually lose Damien. 5. Alaric Jackson, OL, Iowa- the Chiefs add another member of the Hawkeyes OL in Jackson. Jackson has started at LT for Iowa, but I think G is his position in the NFL. Andy loves drafting college T’s and converting them to IOL. 6. Jamie Newman, QB, Georgia/Wake Forest- Newman is a guy that was being talked about as a potential 1st round pick at one point. I definitely wasn’t buying that, but he’s worth a shot late as a potential cheap backup option for Mahomes. We’re getting to a point where we should be drafting QB’s every other year maybe turning one into a higher draft pick later on. |
don’t know the individual players, but position wise it looks damn good
|
I have no problem with any of that.
|
This would be a dream draft, IMO. I love it.
|
Thumbs up from me, I'll comment more later. And you brought up Surratt in one of my other mocks, I give you the kudos. ;)
|
No argument from me. Really like the WR and S picks.
When do we start drafting OTs? |
Caden Sterns is another Texas guy who Herman just couldn't develop. He had a great freshman season and never took that next step.
I think he'll be solid with a team that can have the luxury of developing him for a season or two. |
Ojulari seems like a reach for our defense. I don't think he fits our system. You never see him with his hand in the dirt. He's just not a 4-3 DE. Also, he's not good against the run at all. If we draft this guy, he will basically only play on passing downs.
|
The selection of Lucas Niang last year was the first time the Chiefs selected an OT in the draft since Eric Fisher in 2013. Since Schwartz looks to be towards the end of his career and we have no idea if Niang can contribute next year, I would definitely support looking hard at tackles in this year's draft.
Other than that, this looks like a very good draft. |

He needs work against the run, but he’s not “terrible” and has shown enough to believe he can get better. He’s just a RS Soph, so he’s obviously raw and will be used mostly as a pass rusher early on, but the Chiefs have Danna for early downs. I think they compliment each other well for now and could develop into your starting DE’s when Clark is gone. When you’re picking at 32 you, aren’t going to get a perfect prospect. Ojulari has a lot of upside as a pass rusher and as anybody who’s watched the Chiefs this year can tell you, we desperately need more outside pass rush. Ojulari can at least give you that on day 1. |

What’s your projected OL and OL depth?
Good work on this. |
What an unrealistic bag of crap draft

As an offensive line homer, I always pound the table for some Hawkeye linemen, but Linderbaum is exactly what we need. He's new to the position, but dominating. He's a wrestler, and exactly the type of center we need. I do think he's going to rise up the draft boards, I doubt you get him late in the 3rd. Alaric Jackson would be a good pick too, especially at that spot. I he's probably available in the 4th or 5th rounds. The only thing I don't like about him is that he's really cut weight by adapting to a vegan life style. Not sure how that really works with the position he plays. I mean you got to ear a lot of beans and peanuts to get the protein one needs to retain a 300+ body. |

I'd rather have Phillips at DE if he were available.
|
Ojulari is a great pass rusher. He just has a lot of natural ability. If he makes it to 32, that would be a really high-value selection. I agree that he could split some time with Danna. If he's playing RE, I think he holds up fine in this scheme, especially if he is getting swapped on run downs.
I really like the mock overall. I don't know much about Chazz Surratt, but if staylor and crow sign off on him, it's good enough for me. I think that may be the spot KC has to pop for an IOL (Josh Myers? Linderbaum if his stock rises). |

My thinking is you use Danna on early downs and Ojulari comes in opposite of Clark on obvious passing downs in year 1. Then in year 2 you have some flexibility should you cut Clark. By then, Danna might be ready to take that LDE spot full time and and Ojulari would be your RDE. |

He’s a top 15 talent. |

I like the kid and wouldn't be opposed to the pick but I think the 1st could be a lofty projection based on one year of production unless there's a run on edge players earlier than expected. |
this is going to be the weirdest draft ever.
Teams with solid scouting situations and front offices are going to clean up over teams in disarray. There will be a lot of kids that are all over the place in prospect rankings. More busts than ever, and more kids that are picked low or UDFA's that turn out to be stars. I feel good knowing Veach and company know exactly what they're looking for. |

By the way, I love Jones too, and he’s one of those edge rushers that I’m look at in the 1st. I think there are 4 edge rushers I could see being the pick in the 1st: Ojulari Jones Phillips Oweh It’s still early though, so no telling how that sorts out for me come draft day. I just know I’d be happy with any of them. |
I like it. I think it would address many of KC's needs.
I've seen DE Jaelan Phillips, Miami, in mock drafts going as high as 9 and most have him going before the Chiefs probable draft pick, but the other 3 DE/OLB that you mention, seem like a good possibility. I like LB Chazz Surratt a lot. It will be interesting on his actual size. He is listed at 225 to 230, but it is possible he actually played closer to 220. |
What do you think of Rashawn Slater from Northwestern? Arrowhead Addict put out a mock draft where we trade out of the 1st and take him at 38. They then double down and take Alex Leatherwood at 53. I think that going T with our first 2 picks would be a mistake. But I wouldn't be opposed to using 1 of those picks
|
Pass rusher is very important. I don’t know much about them, but I do know that the Chiefs better not pass up on that Penn State TE if he’s there.
Kelce is the 2nd most important player on this team and he’s not getting any younger. A TE is vital to our offense, so why not have 2 studs for 5 years cheap and prepare for life after Kelce? Makes too much sense. Plus that Kelce scare today really opened my eyes to how ****ed the offense would be without any TE worth a shit |
Quote:
Freiermuth would be an acceptable use of that end of 1st pick IF there is not a WR or DE they like more and if they’re planning to run more 12 personnel. |
Quote:
There’s some question whether either is a T at the next level. I could see one but not both... |
I'll need my upcoming draft guide for a better sense of the players chosen, since I don't follow college ball very closely
That said, you've covered all the bases I want to see covered AND in the correct order of importance... love that you've nabbed two O linemen, with one coming in the third, which is where the real value will be |
I think the guy I’m honed in on right now is Terrance Marshall. I think he’d be my top choice at 32 if he’s there.

Linderbaum is staying at Iowa

I really wanted him to come out because its the only way a team like the Chiefs will be in a position to take him.
