2012 Outlook: Solid/Safe Pick

Last updated on May-14-2012 by Chris Weeks

The Chiefs have done all the right things this off season to address the gaps in last year's team. Their biggest move came when tackle Eric Winston agreed to join the team. This move (along with the return of Jamaal Charles and the free agent signing of Peyton Hills) should help Cassel. Opposing defenses will need to stop the run; when they do, Cassel should be able to pick apart secondaries. There are no excuses for Cassel this season. From a fantasy perspective Cassel could easily be a top 10 quarterback this season. Of course we thought this would be the case in past years too and it hasn't panned out. If Matt doesn't have a good year this season then he may never. The pressure is on Cassel; let's see what you've got.

2012 Mock Draft Results

Month	Position	Franchise/Comments
2012 Experts Mock Draft (June) June 6, 2012 - June 25, 2012	19.09	KFFL.com - I needed another quarterback, and while Cassel is nothing special at all, he may be the safest of all remaining options. With Matt Schaub and Matt Flynn, I needed as much stability as possible. Also, the QB Matt trifecta has been completed!
2012 Experts Mock Draft (July) July 16 - 27	19.01	KFFL.com - As I mentioned when I took Jonathan Baldwin before, I think this downfield offense will surprise people. Cassel is a better QB than what Brian Daboll has had to work with previously.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (August) Aug 14 - 24	13.06	DraftSharks.com - I'd make a point to grab a Vick backup earlier in a lineup-setting league, but there's no reason to here ... no matter what kind of demand these other guys try to fabricate.
