I was inspired to run my first real "trying" attempt at a mock draft today because I started kicking around the idea of trading back from 32 with the goal of targeting TreyVeyon Henderson in a better range.

Here's where I landed:

2.50 - TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State (traded back to 42 and again to 50. Tried to use the Rich Hill trade chart for compensation)
2.64 - Deone Walker, DT, Kentucky
3.66 - Andrew Mukaba, DB, Texas
3.96 - Dylan Fairchild, G, Georgia
4.109 - Lander Barton, LB, Utah
4.133 - Theo Wease, Jr., WR, Missouri
4.137 - Oronde Gadsen II, TE, Syracuse
7.256 - Johnny Walker Jr., DE, Missouri

OK, homer draft.

I moved back to 42 and Henderson was still the #3 back on the board, so I moved again to 50 and still got him. I like Walker as a massive human with huge upside. Mukaba is fast and athletic and good in coverage and versatile. Seems like a Chiefs DB to me. Fairchild lacks a bunch of starting experience but is a good G prospect. Barton is a coverage backer.

Wease is "my" draft guy. I think the guy is going to be a really good NFL player, and I want it to be a value for MY team.

Gadsen is a project TE but could pay off huge. Walker certainly won't be there in the 7th, but if he was you'd run to the podium with that pick.

With the Chiefs down a few picks, this might be a nice year to trade back and add some more. Especially since the 20-60 range of the draft seems destined to be graded pretty similarly.
