Chiefs seven-round mock draft: Going QB
By John McCarty
Round 5: Anthony Zettel, DL, Penn State
A strong side defensive end for the Nittany Lions, Zettel will assume the role of defensive end in the Chiefs 3-4 technique. While he certainly doesn’t exactly project out to be a star, Zettel does have nice pass rush moves for a tackle, is aggressive and plays with a good motor. As with corner back Sean Smith, the Chiefs appear likely to lose Jaye Howard in free agency. While the Chiefs do have Nick Williams and David King as depth at the position, Zettel can come in and provide depth and competition along the line.

Round 5: Victor Ochi, OLB, Stony Brook
For those that watched the Shrine Game, they saw the Ochi regularly blowing past offensive tackles and making plays. He has an explosive first step and good bend around the corner. Ochi also has good pursuit and is a willing tackler in the run game. Victor’s big issues, outside of coming from a small school such as Stony Brook, is that he’s very undersized at 6-foot-1 and 240 lbs. He certainly may not be able to be a regular outside linebacker in Kansas City, Ochi certainly could be a pass rush specialist, and as we saw in the Super Bowl, your defense can never have enough pass rushers.
Round 6: Michael Jordan, CB, Missouri Western
I promise, I’m not trying to find guys from the most obscure colleges I can find. I’m really not. However, the Chiefs will simply need to add depth to the position, so why not address it with a local guy, of sorts. Again, much like Jackson, Jordan has the length and height that the Chiefs appear to favor. At a minimum, you’re getting a kid who can contribute on special teams and possibly turn into depth at the position. A willing tackler, could possibly move to safety.
