Final Mock***Chiefs trade #5 to Eagles for (Please make this happen Football Gods!!!)

***Chiefs trade #5 to Eagles for #24, #55, #70 & #105***

I have been hearing that the Eagles desperately want to trade up for Berry & I doubt that all their draft picks will make their team anyway. So they work out a trade with us that allows them to get Berry & keep their high 2nd rounder, while allowing us to stock up on valuable low 2nd to high 4th rounders. I realize that this will not work out in our favor in the point value chart, but the value chart is outdated & nobody uses it anymore anyway. I believe this works out nicely for both teams. Here is how Philly's draft looks after the trade - #5, #37, #87, #121, #137, #200, #243 & #244...

***Chiefs trade DJ & #55 to the Saints for #32 & #239***

The Saints trade Brown & a 3rd to the Cowboys for # 27 allowing them to trade down for DJ, who will likely immediately become a successful starter in their ball-hawking Defense. The Chiefs develop a secret Man-crush on Gresham & do not think he will get past the Rams at #33, so they move up & snag him without losing any valuable extra draft picks.

***Chiefs Draft***

#24 DE/OLB Jerry Hughes (TCU)

Pouncy would have been a serious consideration here, but the Donkeys trade down several spots & snag him, making this man-beast a no brainer here.

#32 TE Germaine Gresham (Oklahoma)

While I will not say that Gresham will be our next Gonzo, he should make it a bit easier watching Tony finish his career w the dirty birds. Jermaine should step into our starting TE spot & provides a quality target for Cassel for years to come.

#36 WR Golden Tate (ND)

Out of Hughes, Gresham & Tate, Golden has the best shot at dropping to us at #36 IMO. Tate should win the starting slot spot right away & has the potential to be a solid #2 down the road, the fact that he can help out in the return game as well is a added bonus.

#50 NT Torrel Troup (Central Florida)

While this might be a bit high for Troup, I just can't see him dropping to our 3rd rounder because of the high demand & I have him as the 3rd best NT on my board.

#69 ILB Brandon Spikes (Florida)

Was a huge play-maker for the Gators despite the fact that he runs a ridiculously slow 40 in shorts. Provides us w the thumper type LB we need.

#70 ILB Jamar Chaney (Mississippi)

After just adding a thumper ILB we add a athletic play-making ILB who should be able to contribute on passing downs in coverage & blitzing etc. Chaney should complete what looks to be a solid & deep youthful LB core.

#102 OG Marshal Newhouse (TCU)

A big physical Guard that ran a 5.0 40, just might be the replacement at LG for Waters after he leaves in a year or two & provides solid depth at both Guard spots in the meantime.

#105 OC Eric Olson (ND)

Weis gets another one of his guy's, providing solid insurance & the probable future replacement behind Casey.

#136 DE Author Jones (Syracuse)

Not really a need at all, but he has 1st round talent & likely would have been drafted by the mid 2nd at worst before his injury. Pioli just can't pass on this value here & extra D-Line depth can never be a bad thing in Pioli's eyes.

#142 RB Joique Bell (Wayne St))

I still have a huge man-crush on this kid & he will be the probable replacement for Jones in the future.

#144 CB/FS Myron Lewis (Vanderbilt)

Big, fast & versatile fits what Pioli likes & he should compete for the nickle spot right away.

#239 SS/FS Harry Coleman (LSU)

Good value for solid depth at both SS & FS.

What do you guys think?

[chief31]

That's alot of draft picks to put so little value on your o-line and d-line.

[stricken721]

I think we have all become a bit delirious when it comes to mock drafts. Thursday needs to hurry and get here.

[wolfpack]

chiefs wont wait till last pick to draft our worst need, saftey.

[matthewschiefs]

This work take a lot of doing for the chiefs. I dont see any way that the eagles would give that much for the 5th pick. I do like golden tate I realy hope we get him. He nos charlie so it would not be as big of a learning curve for him. Can't wait till Thursday.

IMO both lines are far more important then saftey and we need to work on thoses before safety. It won't matter who we have at safety if we don't fix the d line QBS will find someone open if they have all day to throw the ball.

The only thing I worry about is if we do address the d-line in the draft that we're going to have all this hoopla about how the d-line isn't producing immediately and how we need to get people in that know what they're doing. Aka Dorsey for the first year...year and a half and T. Jackson for his first year. They didn't have 500 sacks each they're horrible!!

REP!! I agree!

It amazes me that some have such high expectations of a rookie his first few years. I remember reading an article somewhere that said Joe Montana was in his 5th year before his talent was revealed to become the legend he did.

Rookies like DT (RIP) are a rare exception. That said, DT didn't have all the many unusual negative team factor's to contend with our young players did last season either.

2010 will be a season of which a more fair assessment of players, coaches, GM...can be observed by comparison to 2009...all considered. There will still be issues in 2010 to resolve, every team in the NFL has issues each season, but we appear to be moving in the right direction, and as fast as Pioli can accomplish.
