2010 SB Nation NFL Mock Draft: Round 1, Pick 5

PrintThe 2010 SB Nation NFL Mock Draft is underway, with each SB Nation blogger making selections for their respective teams. Chris Joel Thorman, lead blogger at SB Nation's Kansas City Chiefs blog, Arrowhead Pride, checks in to make the fifth overall selection in this year's mock. Take it away, sir!
With the fifth overall pick in the 2010 SB Nation NFL Mock Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs have selected Rolando McClain, middle linebacker, Alabama.
Chris Joel Thorman says: The fifth overall pick may be a bit of a reach for Alabama LB Rolando McClain, but history shows it fits into the Scott Pioli profile. While in New England, Pioli had top ten draft choices on two occasions. The first time, in 2002, they took Richard Seymour, a 3-4 defensive end. The second time, in 2008, they took LB Jerod Mayo. The Chiefs have a top five pick for the second consecutive year. In 2009 it was spent on, you guessed it, a 3-4 defensive end by the name of Tyson Jackson. Continuing the theme, the Chiefs will select Rolando McClain.
McClain has a couple of things going for him that make Kansas City a reasonable destination. First, McClain comes from a familiar defense. Pioli and Nick Saban have worked together, and Pioli usually doesn't stray far from what he knows. Second, McClain is the quarterback of the defense, so to speak, and the Chiefs place a premium on cerebral players who understand not just their position, but the entire defense. Third, McClain has experience in a similar type of defense the Chiefs are trying to run.
Add those up and the Chiefs selecting McClain with the fifth overall pick makes sense.
Mocking Dan reacts: At this point, the choice for Kansas City appears to be either McClain or Tennessee safety Eric Berry. Both would help the Chiefs' weak defense. It also may not be a shock to see the Chiefs take defensive tackle Dan Williams to accelerate the 3-4 defense completion.
But McClain would not only make an immediate impact, but he'll give the defense a tougher mentality. Rey Maualuga didn't have the best statistical season for the Bengals, but he gave their defense a nastier demeanor. McClain can do the same – and he's a far better player.
Mocking the Draft's Top 5 remaining prospects: 1 - Eric Berry/S/Tennessee, 2 - C.J. Spiller/RB/Clemson, 3 - Derrick Morgan/DE/Georgia Tech, 4 - Dez Bryant/WR/Oklahoma State, 5 - Joe Haden/CB/Florida
Sound off, SB Nation! Was the selection of McClain a wise choice? Please be sure to check out Arrowhead Pride for all of your Chiefs needs.

it could very well happen
but i just personally want berry
"WIth the 5th pick in the 2010 NFL draft the Kansas City Chiefs select... Eric Berry Safety Tennesee... "
its better than bulaga thats for sure lol
"WIth the 5th pick in the 2010 NFL draft the Kansas City Chiefs select... Eric Berry Safety Tennesee... "
Yep
but if Crennel and Pioli think our franchise NT is Williams or Cody, I wouldn’t be surprised to hear one of those two names at #5 (assuming, of course, that we couldn’t trade down a few spots)
Ryan Succop will be the kicker for the AFC in the 2011 Pro Bowl
i dont think cody at 5
williams maybe.. i wouldnt like it but i could see pioli doin somethin like that
"WIth the 5th pick in the 2010 NFL draft the Kansas City Chiefs select... Eric Berry Safety Tennesee... "
Alot could change before the Draft
I doubt Cody goes 5, but alot can change. His tape is pretty impressive
yes it is :)
* KC now has the best coaching staff in the league
* 9-7 is a real possibility in 2010 IF the Chiefs get 4 new starters
* KC will NOT draft a LT in the first round, and the draft WILL be heavy on defense
You guys can think that
but it isnt a better pick. Taylor Mays at 6 was an equally bad pick. He has chrons disease, his 40 was unimpressive, and he wasnt top 5 talent before that. Ill say it again, it was a bad decision.

This is accurate considering the votes last year were probably similar for the TJ signing.
Some a’s some b’s lots of c’s some d’s some f’s
The first 3 picks of the draft will be defense. Pioli loves him some defense.
Great pick Joel..
and kudos for not picking Berry, which the majority of AP members seem to want us to.
Agreed
It would be McClain, Williams or Cody.
Nice pick. A grade

It just doesnt make sense
Im sure the reasoning behind the pick was “taking a FS that high isnt good posistional value.” ILB isnt posistional value that high either. Thats why ILB dont go in the top 5 that much. It should have been Eric Berry. McClain just isnt that good. My proof below:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miJwMCgaxKo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhG6bwopKTc
No offense Joel and Chris but he isnt considered a top 5 pick by anyone and this was definitly a bad pick. I see him going at or around 15. Hopefully the Chiefs dont do this. We have had some questionable drafts though.
Not being on everyons "Top 10" didn't stop Pioli last year
and it won’t this year either. I think Joel nailed it.
we're not worried about "positional value"
Pioli reached for a 3-4 DE last year… that was based on NEED and FIT… NOT “positional value”
McClain would be a similarly logical pick.
Berry would be nice too.
* KC now has the best coaching staff in the league
* 9-7 is a real possibility in 2010 IF the Chiefs get 4 new starters
* KC will NOT draft a LT in the first round, and the draft WILL be heavy on defense
A 3-4 De has more posistional value and isnt even comparable
Besides, I dont care for the whole “posistional value” thing and never have. Ive always been one to think we should draft the best player. Thats exactly why I wanted us to take aaron Curry last year and we didnt because Pioli doesnt draft like that. Thats the same reason I dont see him taking McClain or even Berry.
Alright look
Im not trying to attack Joel and I dont think anything in my comment even hints that. Ive routinely been caught on this very site calling AP one of the best sports blogs on the net and probably the most well run. However, Joel is wrong on this one. You have to understand that Pioli is not a risk taker. For example, the biggest risk Ive ever seen him take was drafting Merriwheather, a guy that would have gone top 10 without character issues. He isnt going to take a diseased LB with mediocore tape. Nobody understands how much Cody and others helped this guy either. He isnt a top 10 pick. If it does happen, then it does. However, this is in no way comparable to the Tyson Jackson pick and if anything, it contradicts it.
“a diseased LB with mediocore tape”?
That’s why he won the Butkus award as the best LB in college. It could have been worse, he could have traded down to the end of round one for about 60% of value. Now, that would have been an epic fail.

Have you watched his tape at all?
I was off by saying mediocore because that implys average, he is better than average. However, his tape isnt as good as Mayos or even Rey Rey. Also, please dont come here trying to dis people. If you didnt like the trade I made thats fine, but I know id much rather have Mike Iupati and Dan Williams vs. Rolando McClain or Joe Haden.
by darwithabar on Mar 26, 2010 12:27 AM EDT up reply actions
I can find a tape of the worst plays of Joe Haden or even a Gerald McCoy and say a player is bad. There are tapes out there that show many good plays he makes. just because you were able to find one where he makes some mistakes, doesn’t mean he always makes mistakes like that.

Bross09
I agree. You could find tape of every player in the NCAA and the NFL and say the same thing. However, these are taken from random games and they are highlights and lowlights. They are not just pointing out every bad play McClain ever made. Im not a fool.
yes…but I still would look at more than one youtube video or two to make a complete assessment…at least for a high pick.
I teach good life choices. That’s why I almost didn’t graduate High School.
There are two on there
Ive also watched alot of his games. He flies all over the feild and always has his head in the game. However, he plays slow sometimes and he tackles high and his tackles are broken alot.
This is an epic fail
Bless Joel’s little heart for doing this. Its hard to participate in a mock draft for your whole team. However, this is still a horrible pick. I understand the posistion this puts you as an APer in and I dont blame you for getting your buds back. That doesnt change anything. I really hope Joel just likes McClain alot and thats why he wanted to make the pick. Otherwise, he would be lying if he said this is what Pioli would do. Its just not. He picked Jerod Mayo at 10. The 10th pick in the draft gets paid nuts and bolts compared to the 10 mil a year the 5th pick gets. If you think Pioli is gonna pay a Mike LB, with CD, 10 mil a year then you are crazy. I dont care if he won the Butkus award, plenty of college athlete have just been great college players. Good for Joel for being ballsy and making the pick he wanted. However, I highly doubt as busy as he is he gets to break down college tape or even glance over it. Rolando McClain has half the talent as Berry.
Overall, the Chiefs are in a very bad place this draft. The players they need are defensive skill players (LBs, SS, FS, even CB) and those players dont usaully get paid 10 mil a year. I wouldnt be surprised to see the Chiefs pick Bulaga, Cambell, or Berry. However, if they do pick McClain, we wont be getting much better anytime soon. Id even go as far to say he is only marginally better than Mays. Maybe we can trade down and get him, we will see.

yeah. Crohns is like cancer right?
I have a cousin with it. Crohns is very livable. If you get regular excercise, are active, and get the right treatment, symptoms are minimal. You do need to change your diet, but many of the things you are supposed to stay away from aren’t the healthiest for you. so if he lives a healthy active lifestyle and gets proper treatment, it is like he isn’t even sick. Crohns DOES have no cure, but it is not a deadly disease and can be easily managed, it just takes discipline.
I teach good life choices. That’s why I almost didn’t graduate High School.
I know what Crohns is..
Also, it effects every person differently. Some people have constant flairs no matter what. Some people have them only one in awhile. Even if crohns disease is controlable, Teams will still shy away from him because of it. It could potentionally ruin his career.
I agree. Like every disease it affects people differently.
I cannot say how it will affect him, but from what I have heard, he has been playing through it. It is understandable that teams would shy away. It makes sense for them to shy away in their eyes. It could maybe potentially ruin his career, but so could just plain old being a bust for anyone else. Personally, the chances of it ruining his career are pretty slim.
I teach good life choices. That’s why I almost didn’t graduate High School.
Agree, exc ept you cant call the chances slim
I never said CD will make him a bad player. It is going to make teams shy away from him.
Right, except for when he was sick before the national championship and played sluggish.
Oh, and that time where he had his pro day in front of NFL scouts and was playing terribly and felt that it was the right time to blame his poor play on his Crohn’s. If he’s gonna have flare ups that cause him to play sluggishly in the NFL, how can you feel confident paying him millions of dollars as the 5th pick overall?
I know I wouldn’t.

you're seriously using those youtube videos as "proof" you don't want him?
I’d rather hope my team doesn’t judge its decision on youtube videos…before it makes a decision on a player who is of low positional value.
McClain may not be the right pick…but not cuz of those youtube videos.

Actually,
I agree with darwithabar.
Those Youtube videos show McClain repeatedly tackling guys high and he rarely is able to bring them down solo. Not the solid tackler worthy of a top 5 pick, IMO.

Bradshaw
If you look back at every game McClain played in its like that. Type in every game he has played this year and watch.
I love his heart and his intelgence
I actually wanted the Chiefs to draft him before I did a little research. I love Bama and im a pretty big fan of the Tide since the Chiefs drafted Croyle. I watched him alot and those videos show the same weaknesses that NFL teams will get from him day to day. He isnt Patrick Willis good, He isnt Jerod Mayo good.

He isnt Patrick Willis good, He isnt Jerod Mayo good.

He just isnt as good a tackler or in coverage. i will even give him the edge is smarts but thats it.
when he tackles...people go down.
According to the Bama RB’s..when McClain hits you…you know it.
He’s very instinctive in coverage too.

I admit I haven't seen much of McClain.
But what I have seen scares me. The guy looks slow at times. His tackling isn’t nearly solid enough for a top 10 pick (he seems to rely more on strength than technique). His effort and ability to be an elite LB has been questioned by NFL scouts. Oh, and he has an incurable, debilitating disease. Not saying Crohn’s is going to ruin his career, but imagine a flare up in the middle of a playoff run.
The guy screams out bust. I’m not saying he shouldn’t be picked, but at #5 overall this is looking bad.

Crohns is not a debillitating disease...
again, something I’d hope the scouts for my team have a clue about.
His “effort” is effortless, that’s why it looks slow. Dude’s a junior and the capitan of a national championship caliber defense for 2 years straight.
Bust is something like JPP, who has not much football experience.
McClain may not be a so called “elite” athlete…but he’s quite possibly the smartest football player in the draft (not Rhodes scholar smart…NFL playbook and instinct smart).
I dunno who these scouts are…but I’m thinking they’re the same fools that have my Giants passing on him cuz he told some reporters that apparently he playing in a 3-4 defense in college (which..somehow gets portrayed as "I want to play in a 3-4 defense only).

Sounds pretty debilitating to me:
From http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/crohns/
The most common symptoms of Crohn’s disease are abdominal pain, often in the lower right area, and diarrhea. Rectal bleeding, weight loss, arthritis, skin problems, and fever may also occur. Bleeding may be serious and persistent, leading to anemia. Children with Crohn’s disease may suffer delayed development and stunted growth. The range and severity of symptoms varies.
Those don’t sound like risks you want to take with a guy you’re investing so much into.
And here’s info on the “scouts”, which sorry, I didn’t specify but one was former Ravens scout Daniel Jeremiah:

like bross above says...
proper nutrition, excercise and proper treatment can make the disease basically benign.
What you mention is the worst of it.
Unlike those children in that are described there..McClain is a pretty healthy 6"3 250lbs and will get proper nutrition, exercise and will have the money to get proper treatment.

He would be fair value at 15
I dont think it would be reaching and it might even be +1 or +2 value. At 5 its a huge reach.
I dont think McClain sucks at all
He just isnt top 5 material in THIS draft. Maybe two years ago he is the 6th or 7th best player, or last year he is in the top 8 for sure. This year, too many good player. I would go as far as to say Haden, Okung, Suh, Berry, Cody would all be number 1 at their posistion in last years draft. This draft is that loaded at the top and the bottom.
Agree
top 5 is pristine.
Not knocking McClain cause of it but a Top-5 pick?
1st Round definitely, He has intangibles that others don’t, top 5 doubts not a chance though I like the person and the position.

yes…just like teams shied away from eric wright a few years ago. he was a first round talent that dropped to the browns in the 2nd…
Players often drop for somewhat illogical reasons and ones that aren’t always totally thought out.
I teach good life choices. That’s why I almost didn’t graduate High School.
I wouldn’t say worst example. maybe the reasons are sometimes thought out though.
Wright was a top 10 talent that dropped because people thought he had character issues. this ended up not really being the case.
Rolando McClain could drop because of crohns. it could hinder his career or it couldn’t. it just makes him a riskier pick. yes, it isn’t the best example but both dropped because of some sort of off the field “issue”
I teach good life choices. That’s why I almost didn’t graduate High School.
Eric Wright was not a top 10 talent
He was a first round talent that dropped for character issues. Rolando McClain does have Character issues him self. However, comparing Rolando McClains CD to Eric Wrights character issues is a bad example. You could compare Rolando McClains character issues to Eric Wrights but not what you said.
I have read up on it too. My cousin was diagnosed last year. the symptoms, especially the abdominal pain can be minimized with proper, regular exercise, proper treatment, and a healthy diet and lifestyle.
I teach good life choices. That’s why I almost didn’t graduate High School.
Crohns is not a debilitating disease at all as FreeBradshaw said. I know a lot about it since my cousin actually has it. With proper exercise and being active, the effects are actually minimal (and with proper treatment combined with that). I don’t believe it has affected Garrard.
I teach good life choices. That’s why I almost didn’t graduate High School.
Its case by case which makes it risky
you just dont know how it will act a few years from now. If your cousin has it than you know that.
that is true. Every disease is case by case.
I think it will make teams take a second look, but I believe that a guy who is healthy and in shape (i hope he is in shape if he is playing linebacker anyways, if he isn’t there are some other problems too) will have a better chance at avoiding some of the nastier side effects that can be minimized with excercise.
I teach good life choices. That’s why I almost didn’t graduate High School.
yes…
like I said, every case is different, not just for crohns though but for medicine. this is why it is such a tricky field.
But what are the chances of him getting the case where exercise doesn’t help? it definitely makes him more risky though, i won’t deny that.
I teach good life choices. That’s why I almost didn’t graduate High School.
RNG Beast
Thats the exact thing ive told people all the time. He isnt that good and most scouts know it. He has a good head on him but he is a below average tackler and way below average speed for a top 5 pick. he isnt even close as god as Jerod Mayo was, Jerod went 10th.
Those youtube videos are not strictly highlights or lowlights
they are film, ramdon plays taken from Rolando’s tape. If tape isnt proof then I dont know what is.
I cant believe I'm gonna say it but..
bad pick Joel. I’d rather have OT than LB, but Berry before McClain. McClain is probably one of the last spots we need at no.5.
Just not a good pick, I don’t see Pioli doing this. He knows we need day 1 impact players, not players that may turn out to be average or slightly above average. I feel if we picked McClain he might as well be the next Derrick Johnson :(

I have a hard time saying this but.............. I agree with dwb.
I don’t see the positional value or the player quality to defend this pick. It is not horrible, I gave you a C, it is just not as good as Eric Berry or even Dan Williams. Pioli reaches, but I don’t think he reaches this far.
I'm a fan of Haden at 5
I think it’s fair along the lines of positional value and impact player. I also would have chosen Berry over McClain. I do really like McClain but only if we were to trade back giving the pick more value to where we are selecting him in the draft.

Haden would have even been a better pick
If you compare their tape, Haden’s blows McClains out of the water. McClain had one of the best DLs in the country in front of him.
If McClain had the best DL...
Haden and Florida had #2

I wouldnt go that far
I would say NU had the 2nd best DL. Bama has 3 future first or 2nd round picks on that line. NU had 2 first round picks, Florida had Lawrence Marsch who is probably a 4th round pick. Jermaine and Dunlap are 2nd or 3rd day picks.
either way..Florida had a talented line..I ain't comparing lines to Nebraska or OU or whoever....
McClain benefited from his DL just as much as Haden benefited from his.

by FreeBradshaw on Mar 25, 2010 6:53 PM EDT up reply actions
No Way
McClain benifited way more. Florida has one player on the line that will probably be a 2nd round pick. Alabama had 3 possible 1st round picks and a sub that will probably go in the 2nd.
Cody is probably going to be a first round pick for sure
The other will have to have good JR year and SR year to do it but its possible
We need to just take Cody
you said it 1st round caliber :)
We need a NT in the worst way (means reach)
Williams is no NT

and you could argue that Haden benefitted from D-Line play more. yes the D-Line freed McClain up to make some plays. but he made many plays on his own. does the D-Line help when he makes a tackle on a sweep play near the left sideline, 2 yards behind the LOS?

-Bross-
Um, yes. Of coarse it does. If Dareus or Cody forces the RB wider and McClain makes a play then of coarse it did. Im only argueing Bamas DL is more talented.
agree...
but your saying “he didn’t benefit as much”
Sure he did.

Well…
Florida has one player that would probably go in the first (dunlap) but could drop to the second…but you can say the same with cody.
If jermaine cunningham was able to participate at the combine or pro day, his stock may be rising. instead it is falling. He is a 2nd round talent that is likely going to go in the third.
I teach good life choices. That’s why I almost didn’t graduate High School.
well…so did haden. Florida was excellent at getting to the QB. I have looked at some of the tape of haden. he has great ball skills but he also picked off a fair number of bad throws. I am curious how many of these bad throws (I have to go back and look) were caused by the incessant pressure up front.
I teach good life choices. That’s why I almost didn’t graduate High School.
I dunno if twice as talented. Florida’s D-Line is pretty talented and they made a lot of plays the last 2 years.
I teach good life choices. That’s why I almost didn’t graduate High School.
They are twice as talenteded
There is 2 DLmen who are more talent that Carlos Dunlap on that DL. One of Bams 3-4 DEs had more sacks than any of the florida 4-3 DEs. They are twice as talented. Jermaine Cunninham and Lawrence Marsch wont even get drafted until late. Carlos Dunlap will probably go in the 2nd round. Dareus will probably be a top 10 pick.
that's just not true....
Florida had a top 5 D in the nation.

It doesnt matter
Florida had alot better LBS and the best secondary in the nation. You switching the whole base of the debate. I only said they had twice the talent on their DL.
now it doesn't matter?
and I’m switching the argument?
It went from McClain benefits more then Haden…to Bama has a better defense, all by your doing.

Good pick Joel
I prefer OT because it is a greater need and there are good LBs in the 2nd
Beluga would be my 1st choice since Okung is gone
D Williams at NT would also fill a big hole
Berry is also hard to pass on with KC’s poor safety situation
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
I thought Berry would be an easy pick for anyone.
I will be suprised if this actually happens on draft day. He clearly knows more about his team than I do, and his reasoning made sense. So i’ll be looking forward to this pick to see what they do now.
