DENVER BRONCOS FINAL 7-ROUND MOCK DRAFT:
1st Round:
25. Denver Broncos- DT Dontari Poe, Memphis:
The Broncos still need help along both of their lines, with defensive tackle being a more primary need. The Broncos tackles played solid this year, but they could use that singular dominant presence in the middle. That is where Poe comes in. He flashes the potential to be an absolute force in the middle, and if he puts it all together figures to be both a top level pass rusher and run stopper.
2nd Round:
57. Denver Broncos-G Kevin Zeitler, Wisconsin
3rd Round:
87. Denver Broncos- RB LaMichael James, Oregon

SAN DIEGO CHARGERS FINAL 7-ROUND MOCK DRAFT:
1st Round:
18. San Diego Chargers- DT Fletcher Cox, Mississippi State:
The Chargers could go offensive line or corner back here, but they could use some help along their defensive line as well. Cox could be an interesting pass rusher going forward, and would be a nice boost to their defense.
2nd Round:
49. San Diego Chargers- OLB Shea McClellin, Boise State
3rd Round:
78. San Diego Chargers- G Brandon Washington, Miami
4th Round:

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS FINAL 7-ROUND MOCK DRAFT:
1st Round:
11. Kansas City Chiefs: ILB Luke Kuechly, Boston College:
The Chiefs are probably going to look defense here (though RT is an option), and if so I think going with Kuechly is a smart play. Teaming him with Derrick Johnson makes that defense pretty potent. Trading back could be an option, but it is going to be tough to pass up a talent like Kuechly.
2nd Round:
44. Kansas City Chiefs- NT Alameda Ta’amu, Washington
3rd Round:
74. Kansas City Chiefs- QB Kirk Cousins, Michigan State
4th Round:
107. Kansas City Chiefs- G/T Tony Bergstrom, Utah

HOUSTON TEXANS FINAL 7-ROUND MOCK DRAFT:
1st Round:
26. Houston Texans- WR Rueben Randle, LSU:
The Texans should look to give Matt Schaub a welcome back gift with this draft pick. Randle would be a nice complement to Andre Johnson, and would move Kevin Walter to the slot (where he is a better fit). A Randle-Johnson combo could be extremely dangerous, and could be the final cog to their offense. Don’t be surprised if a move up for a tackle after the release of Eric Winston.
2nd Round:
58. Houston Texans-OLB Vinny Curry, Marshall
3rd Round:
76. Texans (via Philly)- G/T Jeff Allen, Illinois
4th Round:
99. Texans (via Philly)- OT Matt McCants, UAB
