Kansas City Chiefs Mock Draft
Mel Kiper – 1st Round
Mel Kiper has been pretty consistent in saying the Kansas City Chiefs would take a quarterback this year. With how his mock plays out, DeShone Kizer is the best one available by most draft boards. The analysis on this pick is pretty much spot on. The only way someone can really disagree with this is if they don’t like the player himself.
I’m not sure that the Chiefs are locked into a quarterback in the first round. However, if they are, this makes all the sense in the world. DeShone Kizer has a lot of talent, but has clearly been poorly coached. Yes, I saw what Brian Kelly had to say…and I disagree. I think the smartest thing Kizer could do was get away from that system.
My Pick: DeShone Kizer – QB – Notre Dame
I’ve made it pretty clear that I’m not fully on board with this quarterback class. However, I will play along with the idea that the Chiefs might not agree. DeShone Kizer is the best quarterback in this class still on the board, so this is a pretty easy choice to make.
