So did Jason White.

Hell Tim Tebow was a first round pick

Don't the Chiefs play a 3 - 4? Is he playing 3-4 end? Jones plays all over the line. Gillotte going to be a rush end I'd imagine. Just my two cents but I thought was one of the better sleepers pass rush wise.

I thought Lott was going to start beside Jones? Your right about Gillotte though he's probably going to rotate.

I must have fallen asleep for a few. So the Cheifs got an OT, Norman-Lott, Gillotte, and Nohl Williams. So four picks out of the first 85 selections. The Chiefs possibly picked up 4 starters. We might have 1 starter out of our first 3 picks.

Cardinals with Nolen, Johnson, and Burch now that's a haul.

Chiefs with Gillotte and Nohl Williams.

So we have a pocket collapsing DE who isn't bendy but can play the run and a "pass rushing" DT who probably isn't going to help greatly with our run stopping but might collect 2 to 4 sacks in our rotation? Someone tell me why I'm wrong because no joke I hope I'm completely wrong. We just drafted a second set of Rousseau and Oliver (ceiling) or AJ and Carter 2.0 (floor).

Maybe we'll take a 6'6" DE who has a high motor and is best described as a pocket collapser to go along with our squadron of DT's who are all 3techs who get 2 or 3 sacks a year and a pack of safeties who all run the 40 and finish behind Tremaine Edmunds and can't find their man until the ball is in his hands and he's 7 yards down the field. I'd rather complain now. Laugh about how wrong I was later and admit this is why I'm not a professional. I hope Sanders is a beast and Rapp and Bishop come out and play some lock down coverage. I was typing this and we literally did it.

He's the closest thing to Hyde you'll find left in this draft. He's going to cover guys that Hamlin and Rapp (or Bishop) can't cover. It's part of the reason we don't get off the field on 3rd down. We could have stayed put and taken a DT and Mukuba.

I'm not afraid of a 290 pound DT. Nolen had really high grades both rushing the passer and as a run stopper. Sanders is not Nolen. The fear (my fear) is that he's the exact same guy we traded up for last year. From now until he shows up in a game and plays better than Carter I'm going to wonder why we take pass rushing 3techs who at the end of the season have a sack maybe two more than the UDFA guy we picked up off waivers to stop the run because we are getting owned by the Ravens or Colts.

According to pro football reference it's better but not that much better. They both have the same rating (within 1 or 2 points) when thrown to and both have about the same drop rate. PIckens has been in the league a few years and played a couple more games last season otherwise their stats are (when you consider Keon was rookie) fairly close. They do the same things. Pickens is a little better on jump balls and Keon is a little better after the catch.

His four sacks of college production means he's worth trading up in the second because he's clearly a game changer. I'm going to hate myself for complaining later but at the moment i'm kinda WTF. I hope I'm totally wrong.

At least when we get past the first two rounds our front office starts to make picks that make sense. Somehow they lose their minds until late day 2 almost every draft.
