I've been giving this some thought.
Basically, at 11, every player that you propose the Chiefs to draft, you can look into the draft and find a guy who makes you think "damn, he could be had here and basically fill the need of our first rounder".
IMO thats why you go with the guy with the biggest tallest ceiling in the first. Mercilus or someone of such that has other worldly physical traits.
Then you can look at someone like Decastro for instance. All american guard, great player. Well we have two of those who we just drafted the past two years. Seems like a center would be a better pick.
Poe at NT. Great athlete, awful film. Chapman might be there in the third who could do basically the exact job we ask him to do right off the bat.
For me, the only guys that make sense are Mercilus, Tannehill (if you think he is the guy), Brockers for what he could become, or one of the blue chippers that happen to fall.
It's a really weird spot for the Chiefs.
