As I reenter the room, you should start to hear Mark Morrison’s, Return of the Mack start to play. In other words, I’m back bitches! I have missed you fuckbois quite a bit but let’s not get all mushy. We are a little over a week away from the draft so let’s rock and roll.
This is a 3 round Mock for each team in the division. I know, I know, you don’t agree with my picks but what else is new. There are no trades which we all know won’t happen.
LAS VEGAS RAIDERS
Top Needs: RB, WR, CB
Round 1: RB Ashton Jeanty
The Raiders had the worse running game in the NFL last year and that will not due in Uncle Pete’s overall scheme. Enter Jeanty, who is the most complete back in this draft.
Round 2: WR Jayden Higgins
Talk about a perfect fit for what Chip Kelly likes in a receiver. Higgins is not just an “X” receiver but can line up anywhere on the field and is an excellent route runner.
Round 3: CB Darien Porter
Big, long and fast, that describes Porter. He is an ideal fit in Uncle Pete’s defensive scheme, a Riq Woolen 2.0 if you will.
DENVER BRONCOS
Top Needs: RB, WR, IDL
Round 1: RB Omarion Hampton
After Javonte Williams left in free agency, the Broncos are very thin at running back. Enter Hampton. He is a true RB1 bell cow back that is also a great receiver out of the backfield.
Round 2: WR Tre Harris
There is a true #1 on this team (Courtland Sutton) but not much else. Tre Harris is a big receiver with the ability to win at every level.
Round 3: DT Shemar Turner
The Broncos will need to add some depth to their defensive line. Shemar Turner is a perfect fit for the team and will challenge for playing time immediately.
LOS ANGELES CHARGERS
Top Needs: TE, WR, RB
Round 1: TE Colston Loveland
The Chargers need weapons on offense with TE being the biggest one. Colston Loveland is a perfect fit and would be a huge upgrade.
Round 2: WR Jaylin Noel
Ladd McConkey was a steal last year, but every other receiver is average at best. Enter Jaylin Noel. He is a complete receiver with kick return chops. He has speed to go deep but is also a volume receiver.
Round 3: RB Dylan Sampson
In free agency, the Chargers signed RB Najee Harris but it was only for 1 year. RB Dylan Sampson led the SEC in rushing yards (1,491) and touchdowns (22). He is a bit undersized but has the running instincts of a seasoned veteran.
KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
Top Needs: IDL, OT, DE
Round 1: DT Kenneth Grant
The Chiefs must fix the trenches on both sides of the ball. Enter DT Kenneth Grant. He is a Nose Tackle that is fantastic against the run and has some pass rush juice. This would be a steal.
Round 2: OT Aireontae Ersery
The Chiefs signed OT Jaylon Moore in free agency but he was primarily a back-up with 49ers. OT Ersery is a HUGE OT with 3 years as a starter and strong as an ox. He would challenge for a starting position from day one.
Round 3: DE Kyle Kennard
The Chiefs did not have a single player with double digit sacks and that has to change. DE Kyle Kennard will add instant juice to the pass rush. He also has some zone coverage abilities.
This is going to be one of the most intriguing drafts in a long time as it is crazy deep at a few positions (RB, DT, DE) and lacking in others (QB, S, LB). How this thing will fall is anyone’s guess, but one thing is for sure, its going to be nuts. Buckle-up boys because the NFL draft is right around the corner!
