WichitaZRide 321 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 CB from Washington went down during his pro day and most likely ruptured his Achilles according to reports. This is the CB that several analysts compared to Marcus Peters and some even has us mocked to take him. Knowing he isn't going to play his rookie year, how far do you think he will fall in the draft, and at what point do you consider him? Just curious on everyone's thoughts...

liquidfriend 1,151 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I wouldn't gamble anything before the 5th round. By that point, sure why the hell not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhataLerror 370 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 There are positions where you need a good Achilles. Cornerback in particular is where you need it most. What's the rest of his injury history? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidfriend 1,151 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Doesn't really have a history. Thought he was the best CB in the draft and was basically Marcus Peters 2.0 without the issues. The problem is that you will have to accept the fact that he's not going to play for you at all for the first year and he'll look bad the following season due to total inexperience, still recovering and rust. So you're really looking at half of his rookie contract being a sunk cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhitter 1,424 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Pass. Chiefs need players. Guys who can contribute sooner than later. Gonna have to replace DJ and Tamba real soon. Looking at another running back to replace Charles. Supposedly the DB class is strong this year. No reason the Chiefs can't come away with a good player who isn't injured.

SEMO 6,811 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I'll revise my answer. If he falls to day 3, I would use one of those comp picks on him. Worth the risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eraser 722 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Cleveland may offer up a first day pick for him. I wouldn't touch it until the third day. If they get a really good doctor report, then maybe day 2. This is a really tough injury. It can be a career defining event. It is very sad. However, the Chiefs should not be guilt-ed into taking him high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kccrow 529 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 That would be a steal. Possibly, if he's ever the same athletically. Huge risk. I wouldn't spend a top 3 pick on him at this juncture, especially given the amount of talent at the CB position in this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is about where good teams decide to take risks on risky players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidfriend 1,151 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 What round was Jared Allen picked, fourth? That is about where good teams decide to take risks on risky players. You have to account for the fact that this draft is so ridiculously deep that you can probably find a good quality starter through the 4th round.

kccrow 529 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 What round was Jared Allen picked, fourth? That is about where good teams decide to take risks on risky players. 4th. And yeah, usually 3rd to 4th round you start seeing it. That's why I don't see Mixon going first 2 rounds either. He's certainly not going first, maybe he slides into the late second, but I still doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidfriend 1,151 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I'd be amazed if Mixon went in the first round. I think if this draft wasn't super deep at RB, he'd have a good shot at going in the 2nd round. Late 3rd-Early 4th is the range I think he goes; where I see the RB class go from 3 down backs to specialists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eraser 722 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 The Chiefs are closer to Oklahoma University than any other team other than Dallas. They should know a lot about Mixon. The Chiefs is the only team not to meet with Mixon this year. I think that says to me they are not interested. Mixon is the second best running back in the draft.

Not sure why that matters. They have invented phones and airplanes now. You no longer have to walk to a college campus to dig up intel on players.
