Arrowhead Addict 2010 Mock Draft: Version 1.0

Welcome to our first official 2010 Mock Draft. Yes, it’s early but it isn’t like the Chiefs are in the playoffs. This particular Mock is my own opinion and not that of the entire staff. We’ll be bringing you a lot of Draft opinions as the weeks go by. Be sure to check out Andrew’s Mock Monday posts each week as he highlights the players he thinks the Chiefs will go after. Merlin is always ready to talk Draft so check out his opinion on who the Chiefs will take over at Draft Tek.

3.

Offensive Tackle

Oklahoma State

Josh Freeman needs someone to watch his back. Josh, meet Russell.

4.

Quarterback

Oklahoma

Mike Shanahan will not suffer Jason Campbell. The Skins go QB.

5.

Safety

USC

The new regime needs an impact player on defense and they need to make up for the whole Mike Brown debacle. Mays can make an immediate impact not only in pass coverage but in run support as well.

6.

Quarterback

Notre Dame

The Seahawks get to pick again at 14. They can afford to take Clausen here and they will, turning down all trade offers. Seattle gets its QB of the future.

7.

Quarterback

Texas

A reach? Probably. But this whole Derrick Anderson/Brady Quinn thing is over in Cleveland. Mike Holmgren knows better than anyone that you start your franchise with a Quarterback. Cleveland knows there is no way Colt gets through the first round with Oakland and Buffalo right behind him. Trading back isn’t an option so why not take Colt here? The Browns have a billion picks to plug other  holes later.

8.

Wide Receiver

Oklahoma State

Oakland is a Wild Card as always. As of yet, we don’t know who their coach will be. The question is, will Al Davis be able to resist the chance to take Tim Tebow? He does, after all, like flashy players. I think Davis is probably so delusional he sticks with Jamarcus Russel…and drafts another Receiver. Sorry Dez.

9.

Inside Linebacker

Alabama

Remember all those problems Buffalo had with Linebacker injuries? I do too.

10.

Defensive Tackle

Oklahoma

McCoy may be the best DT in the draft. Teams with QB needs push him back a little, but he won’t fall higher than 10.

10.

Inside Linebacker

Florida

McDaniels won’t forget Jamaal Charles running all over his defense in Week 17. He should try to shore up the D here. Plus Spikes is too good to pass up.

12.

Wide Receiver

LSU

Henne needs targets. LaFell should fit in nicely in the Dolphins attack.

13.

Cornerback

Florida

Someone has to cover all those Cardinal receivers twice a year.

14.

Running Back

Clemson

Now that the Seahawks have their QB of the future it is time to fill their RB needs. They luck out as Spiller slips a little.

15.

Defensive End

Michigan

The Giants once feared defense was not so scary last season.

16.

Defensive End

Florida

Now starts the run on Defensive Ends.

21.

Defensive End

Northwestern

Wootton would give the Jet’s a nice outside pass rush and Rex Ryan likes his defensive toys.

22.

Cornerback

Florida State

The Ravens have had a lot of problems in their secondary this season. Robinson should be able to step in right away and help stop them.

23.

Outside Linebacker

TCU

The Cardinals are certainly explosive on offense so adding Hughes would be another piece in their improving defense.

24.

Jermaine Gresham

Tight End

Oklahoma

The Bengals need more offensive fire power and with no solid WR options available at 24, Gresham gives them a nice pass catching presence over the middle.

25.

Offensive Tackle

Oklahoma

With no 3-4 Defensive Ends available that wouldn’t be a reach, the Pats opt for protecting Tom Brady instead. Williams can play Tackle or Guard.

26.

Offensive Tackle

Iowa

The Pack has got to improve their Offensive Line. I shudder to think what kind of numbers Rodgers will put up when not running for his life.

27.

Defensive End

Georgia Tech

Andy Reid will be thrilled Morgan fell to him at 27 and he will used him to shore up the Eagles front.

28.

Offensive Tackle

USC

Since Cowboy fans are back on again in their on again, off again relationship with Tony Romo, they should be pleased with Charles Brown as his body guard.

29.

Defensive End

Clemson

It is hard to find needs on a team like the Vikings. I don’t think they will win it all this year and I think Favre  will come back, giving them another year to put off drafting a QB. I just can’t see them taking Tebow. They go with Sapp and try to turn him into a 3-4 OLB.

30.

Outside Linebacker

Texas

Look for the Chargers to try to fix one of their few weaknesses by bringing in Kindle to help the defense.

31.

Offensive Tackle

Illinois

Chiefs fans who have their eye on Asamoah and were hoping to steal him early in the 2nd round will be disappointed when the Saints take him at 31.

32.

Defensive Tackle

Alabama

The Colts get an absolute steal here by nabbing the big Nose Tackle with the last pick in the first round.
