**** "Expert" Mocks ****
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. Dane Brugler | 1.13.21 The Athletic 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. Last edited by duncan_idaho; 01-15-2021 at 07:19 AM.. |

It would be hard for me to take a WR with Wyatt Davis sitting there. Man the more I read about him, I think he's gonna be a really good player.

The only knock I've seen on him is that he has never played C and is probably a G-only player. I like him a lot but can't see them using a 1st on a G... could see it on an OL, but I'd expect it to be someone who can play T. Teven Jenkins at Oklahoma State is interesting as a guy who has played LT, RT, and G. |

I love Davis, but he wasn’t great in the playoffs, so between that and the injury his stock will likely drop a little. |

No way I'm taking a guard over a WR in the 1st round. |

I’d have no problem replacing a g with a pick at 32. |

And you're not replacing a guard. You assume that Toney can't win a starting job and then turn around and assume Davis can. Kind of a double standard, no? |

I woudln't be opposed to Toney or any WR I'm just not keen on it being a first rounder after we just burned a 2nd on Hardman. |

I think he's worth $2 million a year but unfortunately, they've needed him to play at a higher level than his actual ability because Watkins has so many games and when he's not missing games, he's been ineffective. If EB gets a gig, then sure, I could see him follow him but if he's willing to come back for $2 million again, I think he's still on the roster. |

I used to get so caught up in wanting this position or that position, but now I just want the BPA in the 1st and 2nd if possible. Veach has found IMO a lot of good role players, but through his 3 drafts so far I'm still not seeing many "star" type players. 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. |

Some can be productive in a minor role while they develop like Hardman, Gay, Saunders etc. Either way, you don’t draft for day 1 year 1. It’s a terrible philosophy with unrealistic expectations. I’ve tried to explain this over and over and you still don’t get it. I also don’t agree that none of the guys Veach drafted have star potential. CEH, Thornhill, Sneed, and Gay all have star potential. They’re just still young. Again, your expectations are just unrealistic. There’s a pattern here.

I said this in another thread the other day. Not every star player is a star right off the bat. Neither Kelce nor Hill were. These guys need 2-3 years to develop.

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. I don't think you're very realistic. |
