My KC Post draft - Mock Draft

**Coach** · 04-27-2009, 12:09 AM

I think everyone here is a little stunned at how the draft played out for the Chiefs. So I decided to put together a post draft Mock draft. I am basing my draft based upon the players that were still on the board when the Chiefs picked in each round.

1st round: Aaron Curry - LB
3rd Round: Jarron Gilbert - DE
4th round: Brandon Williams - DE
5th round: Duke Robinson - OL
6th round: Andrew Gardner - OT
7th round: Demetrius Byrd - WR
7th round: Chris Baker - NT

All players were still on the board, but were passed on. Chris Baker the NT was undrafted. He's got some character concerns but IMO they need to go get him immediately.

Please post yours so we can compare notes.

Demetrius Byrd has been in intensive care after a car crash. I think he is still in the hospital after a week. I question the risk of using a pick on him at all.

4.42 in the 40yd.
36-in vertical.

He is expected to make a full recovery and was projected much higher than the 7th round. But I will give you that one if you'd like.

What happened to Duke that he dropped so badly? I didn't even see his name today, did he even get drafted?

5th round. I'm not sure what happened, I was shocked we didn't snatch him up in the 4th or 5th round.

Hampton was on my list. At 6'2",329, strong and fast, can play NT or DE, someone from the Chiefs should have been on the phone yesterday. There was off the field issue that I could find no information on. 3 colleges and all that.
Duke Robinson Jasper Brinkly and Follet were all there until 6 th or 7th round. And alot of you know Jaron Gilbert was on my list B4 he strarted climbing the draft boards.

How does McGee go before Gilbert? Puzzling.

I'm still confused. Even if I give them the 1st and 3rd picks, the rest of the draft makes no sense.

From what I read and heard is that Magee was rated as the best defensive prospect to come out of Purdue in a couple of years and was highly touted for his size, strength, football smarts, and versatility.

I think the Chiefs valued that the most, IQ and versaility, over production numbers as a majority of Gilberts hype came after his standout senior season and the youtube video. Was considered the second best 3-4 end prospect avalible in the the draft and went around the area scouts had projected (early 3rd).

I think that helped propel him over a raw GIlbert whose stock only began to rise his senior season and after the youtube video.

Not picking Aaron Curry IMO will be the biggest mistake that the chiefs will make for a long wjile to come! We needed him and he was up for grabs when it was out turn to pick we blew it. Aaron Curry was voted to have the most successfuf career out of any of the other players in the draft. To sum it all up; I am extremely annoyed with the decision!
