Who will the Chiefs draft in the first round this year?

They could use a left tackle, but after Okung there's nobody at that position worth taking at 5 overall. Bryan Bulaga and Trent Williams are probably the 2nd and 3rd best offensive tackles, but neither project very well to the left side. Williams looks like he has the tools, but he played like garbage on the left side in college. Bulaga played much better on the left side, but his arms are a little short and isn't quite the athlete that Williams does.

Eric Berry would almost definitely the best player available, but Dan Williams would also be a very attractive option, since they lack a developmental nose tackle for their new 3-4 defense. 5 may be a little high to take Williams, but Tyson Jackson at 3 overall was a much bigger reach than Williams would be.

Rolando McClain would be another possibility. 5 overall is probably a little too high to take an inside linebacker, but after McClain there is a huge dropoff in talent at that position, while there are a number of talented safeties and nose tackles that will be available later (Earl Thomas, Nate Allen, Taylor Mays, Chad Jones, Reshad Jones at S and Linval Joseph, Torrell Troup and maybe Cam Thomas at NT).

If they stick with the 5th pick then they should take Berry.

If they trade down (which I have a "gut" feeling they will) then I'd say take whoever's left (depending on how far they go down) betweem Okung, Bulaga, and McClain.

I don't forsee the Chiefs getting a NT in the draft unless they go for Terrance Cody in the 2nd round.

I think the main priorities now are LT, S, and MLB so any of the guys mentioned above should be viable.

Of course since Pioli's utterly unpredictable in his draft tendencies, I'm fully expecting the Chiefs to trade down to 13 and take Jimmy Clausen. lol. :P
