2012 NFL Season Preview: Kansas City Chiefs

Kansas City Chiefs

Front Office

Owner: Clark Hunt

GM: Scott Pioli

B/B+: This once proud organization was in no man’s land. The Chiefs were not relevant and no one watched them outside their own fan base. Then owner Clark Hunt did a wise thing: he lured away Scott Pioli. Now I believe Pioli to be over rated, but nonetheless he has fan fair and has done a solid job acquiring young talent and building a playoff caliber team. Management will no longer be a problem for this organization.

NFL Power Rankings: Week 6

jdove — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 18:46:54 +0000

Alright I know we are an NFL Draft site but the Power Rankings are going to play an important role here at NFL Mocks. These Rankings are how we will be determining the draft order for our Mock Drafts. So take a look a the Rankings and let us know what you think, as usual I expect some good feedback! These rankings were completed by staff writer Jason Madson.

1. Pittsburgh Steelers (4-1) I was worried about rust with Big Ben missing 4 weeks, but the Browns were a good warmup game for him. The defense is playing better than expected.

2. New York Jets (5-1) They are a small step below the Steelers for the top spot, but its close. With everybody getting healthy this will be a very dangerous team down the road. Survived a scare this week, but those are expected.

3. New England Patriots (4-1)This team just keeps getting it done, no matter who they plug in. Deion Branch had a huge game in his return to the Pats.

4. Baltimore Ravens (4-2) Yes they suffered a tough defeat to the Pats this past week in which they lead most of the game, but this is still an incredibly good team. The offense hasn’t hit on all cylinders yet, once they do Watch Out!

5. New York Giants (4-2) They got the win against the Lions, but it wasn’t easy. The Giants head to Dallas this week in what should be a very tough game regardless of records.

6. Tennessee Titans (4-2) The Titans destroyed the Jags last night, but lost Vince Young to a sprained knee. If he is out for an extended period of time, it could hurt the Titans season.

7. Philadelphia Eagles (4-2) They blew out the Falcons on Sunday, Kolb had his best game of the season and all everyone can talk about is Vick’s absence from the sidelines. Celebrate the win Eagles fans! DeSean Jackson suffered a severe concussion and could miss multiple games.

8. New Orleans Saints (4-2) The Saints went to Tampa Bay and destroyed an overachieving Bucs team on Sunday. That is what they were supposed to do. Don’t look past the Browns on your way to the Halloween showdown with the Steelers.

9. Indianapolis Colts (4-2) Indy always finds a way to get the job done, Peyton Manning is the biggest reason for that. They had a tough game on Sunday night, but in the end the Colts outlasted the Redskins.

10. Houston Texans (4-2) Houston made the comeback of the day on Sunday, trailing by 10 in the 4th quarter to the Chiefs. They came back to win it with some offensive firepower and late defense. I’m still not sold on the Texans.

2010 NFL Draft: Mock Draft 3.0

jdove — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 13:00:59 +0000

Below is our final Mock Draft that features a few changes. We will continue to bring you updated Mock Draft throughout the year so be sure to check us out after the draft. Don’t forget to check out the BUST-O-METER and the Sleeper/Steal Alerts. Also be sure to leave some comments we want to hear what you think!

1. St. Louis Rams- QB- Sam Bradford- Okla.

- Unless there is a major trade Bradford will be a Ram. The Rams will finally have long term direction at the quarterback position. There are some positive to this Rams offense and one is the decent offensive line. We can’t ignore Steven Jackson, who will keep defenses honest.

No Early Contract for Bradford?

2. Detroit Lions- DT- Ndamukong Suh- Neb.

- Suh is a can’t miss prospect and will add to an improving defensive line. Suh has high character and a high motor and will fit right in with Coach Schwartz’s scheme. Suh will be a force for years to come.

Suh vs. McCoy

3. Tampa Bay Bucs- DT- Gerald McCoy- Okla.

- McCoy will be a disruptive force on a defense desperate for talent. There are a lot of people that feel McCoy is better than Suh, so in some eyes the Bucs will get the best player in the draft at pick 3. It may just be the Oklahoma ties but McCoy gives me the Tommie Harris vibe, as a player that is capable of getting in the backfield on every play.

Suh vs. McCoy

4. Washington Redskins- T- Russell Okung- Okla. St.

- I have a feeling McNabb is texting Coach Shanahan every hour pleading with him to select Okung. The Redskins need to protect McNabb by upgrading the talent along the offensive line. Okung is the top rated tackle has the potential to be a Pro Bowler.

5. Kansas City Chiefs- S- Eric Berry- Tenn.

- The Chiefs could go with someone like Trent Williams or Bryan Bulaga but I am not sold on their potential and I am sure Scott Pioli has some questions. With Berry you have an All-World talent that will provide the Chief’s defense with a much needed playmaker. Many feel that a top 5 pick for safety is a reach but Pioli showed last season he will reach for a need or a player he likes (Tyson Jackson).

6. Seattle Seahawks- T- Trent Williams- Okla.

- Trent Williams fills a major need here for the Seahawks. The retirement of Walter Jones left a big hole at the tackle position. Williams has a lot of game experience and could play both the right and left tackle position. Some feel this could be a landing spot for Clausen but the Seahawks gave a lot to get Charlie Whitehurst.

BUST-O-METER: Trent Williams

7. Cleveland Browns- S/CB- Earl Thomas- Texas

- I have been predicting CJ Spiller in this spot for awhile now but recently changed my mind. I feel that Spiller is too much like Jerome Harrison and the Browns will look to add a later round power back (maybe LeGarrette Blount). So with this pick the Browns get a playmaking safety capable of covering receivers, backs, and tight ends 1 on 1. Thomas’ versatility is what has lead to his rise up draft boards.

8. Oakland Raiders- T- Bryan Bulaga- Iowa

- Many will predict Bruce Campbell in this position but I don’t see that happening. While Al Davis has become sort of a joke when it comes to the draft I don’t think he will pass up on the more solid Bulaga. Some history that might work against this pick would be the bust of Robert Gallery. I feel that Clausen would be the best move for the Raiders but they are not ready to admit defeat with JaMarcus Russell.

9. Buffalo Bills- OT- Anthony Davis- Rutgers

- While I feel that this is a reach for Davis, I can’t ignore the Bills need for offensive linemen. I do not think there will be a good option at the tackle position when the Bills select in the 2nd round, so its now or never. The Bills could also look to fill their open nose tackle position by selecting Dan Williams. What about Jimmy Clausen? The Bills do need a quarterback but the offensive line is a bigger need.

BUST-O-METER: Anthony Davis

10. Jacksonville Jaguars- DE- Derrick Morgan- Georgia Tech

- The Jaguars are still searching for a pass rush even after signing Aaron Kampman. They just traded Quenton Groves and Derrick Harvey remains inconsistent. Morgan is strong against both the run and pass and will come in and provide the Jaguars a much needed lift.
