In a mock draft revealed on Friday, CBS Sports activities’ Kyle Stackpole predicted that with the thirty first choice within the NFL Draft, the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs would take a Buckeye guard.
31. Kansas Metropolis Chiefs: G Donovan Jackson, Ohio State
Prospect rank: 67Position rank: 7
I really feel like I’m morally obligated to present the Chiefs an offensive lineman after what occurred within the Tremendous Bowl towards the Eagles. Donovan Jackson moved from guard to left deal with after Josh Simmons went down in October, and he was a useful a part of Ohio State’s run to successful the Faculty Soccer Playoff nationwide championship. No matter the place he traces up, he’ll assist give Patrick Mahomes extra time to work his magic.
For the reason that finish of the NFL’s common season, we’ve coated 26 mock drafts on Arrowhead Pleasure. In 4 of them — greater than some other participant — Jackson has been the Chiefs’ first-round decide.
The concept that Kansas Metropolis may take a guard who spent a while at left deal with throughout his last school season is probably not very interesting. You may desire that the Chiefs get the participant that Jackson changed: Josh Simmons. However in Stackpole’s mock, the Ohio State deal with was taken by the San Francisco 49ers with the eleventh decide — a lot additional into the primary spherical than Kansas Metropolis will in all probability be capable of attain. A complete of 5 tackles are off the board earlier than the Chiefs go on the clock.
However this wouldn’t essentially be a desperation transfer. Suppose the state of affairs with Trey Smith isn’t resolved by the top of April. If the workforce can’t make a take care of him — or he’s finally traded away — Jackson might step proper into Smith’s spot. But when Smith finally ends up returning, Jackson may transform the workforce’s most suitable choice at left deal with.
In the event you nonetheless don’t like this concept, there’s one comfort: In Stackpole’s mock, Tennessee EDGE James Pearce Jr. remains to be accessible at 31.
