New PFF mock draft has the Chiefs going with a guard at 31
PFF’s Seth Galina thinks the Chiefs will go with a versatile USC offensive lineman
On Monday, the football analytics site
31. Kansas City Chiefs: G Alijah Vera-Tucker, USC
We don’t know about the interior of the Chiefs offensive line right now. We assume that the tackles will be healthy again to start next season, but with Laurent Duvernay-Tardif taking a year off and Kelechi Osemele getting injured during the season, they might need immediate help at the position. The players who stood in at guard throughout the 2020 season did not perform up to Chiefs levels.
Draft season commences
This Chief fan has been drowning his Super Bowl sorrows in the world of mock drafting. Using PFF (Pro Football Focus) and thedraftnetwork.com I have been intently mocking away. Here are some observations I have made in regard to the flow of the mocks and the positions of need for KC.
1- Top OT talent coming off board in the first 45-50 picks, but some are projected at RT ( Jenkins-Mayfield-Carman) Probably only 5-7 true LT prospects: (Sewell-Slater-Darrisaw-Cosmi-Eichenberg-Radunz-Little). And there are some guys like Leatherwood and Vera Tucker who may be better kicking inside to OG.
2- IOL talent still available 4-5 round, players like Myers-Meinerz-Hutcherson still on the board. Vera-Tucker, Humphrey, Leatherwood and Dickerson going much earlier (2-3 round).
2021 First Round Mock Draft With Trades By GenoTime7 on Jan 11, 2021, 12:22pm EST +
Hello gang green gangsters. I hope you are all enjoying the post Adam Gase era as much as I am. I wanted to get away from a Jets mock offseason, and complete a first round mock for all teams. I added in a few trades for moves I would make, and partially what I think will happen come April. As we all know not much changes between now and April right? So without further delay, here is my 2021 NFL first Round Draft:
Pick 1, Jacksonville Jaguars- Trevor Lawrence, QB- I think regardless of who were to pick in this situation, Lawrence would be the pick. He is a pro ready QB with pro typical size, athletic ability, and leadership qualities. He also brings enough star power to draw interest to the Jaguars on a national level.
