Home » Chiefs » Chiefs Ultimate Mock Draft: Round 3 Results

With the 86^th pick in the 2011 Chiefs Ultimate Mock Draft, AA readers select Edmund Gates, Wide Receiver, Abilene Christian.

Gates beat out the other options provided by taking 45% of the reader vote. Passed up in this round were John Moffitt, C/G Wisconsin (39%), Danny Watkins, G, Baylor (9%) and James Carpenter, OT, Alabama (7%).

With the selection of Gates, the Chiefs 2011 Draft Class now looks like this:

Official Reader Picks:

Round 1: Phil Taylor, Nose Tackle, Baylor (Andrew)

Round 2: Akeem Ayers, OLB, UCLA (Andrew)

Round 3: Edmund Gates, WR, Abilene Christian (Andrew)

Our other Mockers have to be getting jealous. Andrew Crocker is 3 for 3 in this exercise so far. That being said, there are still plenty of picks left for the others to get their guys selected.

We’ll have Round 4 soon but what do you think of the draft so far?

Taylor will be a bust in my opinion and these are his weaknesses. Pioli shouldn't touch this guy • Weight, conditioning and stamina are problematic • Not very fast, quick, agile or explosive • Doesn't always play with proper leverage • Not real mobile and lacks great range • Is awfully limited as a pass rusher • Questionable instincts and awareness • Might have some durability issues • Character concerns after off-the-field trouble

Dave, Interesting laundry list of concerns enumerated here, what are the character issues?

I agree that Ayers shouldn't go in the first like many "experts" are predicting, but I really don't see him making it to our second round pick. He has a ton of talent and potential and someone will jump on that. Besides, I've read several scouting reports on Ayers that have me thinking he's not a Pioli type player. Here are some of his weaknesses from draftcountdown.com -Effort against the run leaves something to be desired -An inconsistant motor and seemingly lacks intensity They're always talking about how they want hard workers and guys who love "playing the game". The more I read about Ayers the less he sounds like a fit for our team. Not to mention the whole "OLB isn't that big of a need" movement that Paddy is starting.

What can I say, I have my finger on the pulse of AA.

I think it's trending very need based with big reaches in the first and third rounds. Ayers is a great pick in the second round. Gates is a Long way away from being productive in the N.F.L and 3rd round to me is much to early
