3. Chiefs: Tyson Jackson, Defensive end, LSU
K.C. hopes it gets an offer to trade down with a team that wants QB Mark Sanchez. Failing that, the Chiefs will take Jackson, the best 3–4 DE in the draft but a reach this high.
From the upcoming issue of Sports Illustrated, Peter King selects Tyson Jackson for the Chiefs, after Matt Stafford and Jason Smith were off the board.

Can't say I would be thrilled with this pick initially
But if Jackson is the “next Richard Seymour” then in hindsight it will look like a good move.
Just right now, it seems there are more pressing needs.

I think you have to take the best defensive player on the board..
Like PT said, there are more pressing needs. Curry seems like a no-brainer if we can’t trade down.

I wouldn't feel safe letting him get Cleveland (5) or GB (9)
Both could use him.
by Joel Thorman on Apr 21, 2009 3:21 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
why does that matter?
why would we draft a player to keep him off someone else’s team if he isn’t the player we are looking for? we are trying to build our team, not destroy other teams plans for success. I can understand the argument against cleveland since they are in the AFC, but GB? I mean in order for it to hurt us that they get him, it means we have to make it to the superbowl to play them. That is still improvement from where we are that i would like to see.
by WarChief on Apr 21, 2009 4:58 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Because if we don't take him at 3
and he could easily be taken at 5 or 9 by Cleveland or GB, meaning we wouldn’t get a chance at taking TJ if we were to move down to someplace like 10-12.

If
Mr. Pioli thinks this is the best fit for the team, then I’m okay with it. We have so many holes, it isn’t funny. I think if we can grab a RT in round 3 or 4, then this is the pick we need to make. I feel it will be him or Brown from Florida State personally. Which will be better in our Hybrid 3-4??? I don’t know, but I’m sure plenty of us on here have our opinions!

As far as Jackson vs. Brown goes, Jackson is probably safer especially since Brown hasn’t played standing up like he would in the Chiefs defense.

Good point
I really have only read a handful of details from this site and not much time for me to do my own research around here. I just remember everyone on here being high on Brown the week there was an article posted about him. (I’m an accountant, so I will now have some free time to research, but not much before the draft)

Nothing more Nothing less…..if we wanted a big overgrown 3/4 end we would have signed Igor instead of wasting a pick on TJ. Curry is the route to go!

Probably more Seymour than Igor
TJ looks like he’s going to be a very safe pick this year, the more film gets broken down and the more interviews/workouts he has with teams the higher his stock goes. So far there has been virtually nothing to detract from Jackson’s value as the unquestionable #1 3-4 DE in the draft by a long shot. He would lock down the entire right side of the DL and would allow Dorsey to be virtually guaranteed single-coverage on just about every down with Tyler soaking up double teams at NT and TJ manhandling LTs.

Played most of his college career as a DT. A very dominate DT, I might add….he was still a 6th overall pick. Why waste a 3rd overall on a guy with nothing special. He is big and strong but not dominate.

Don’t sweat it, this is not happening. No chance.
PK must be really convinced Pioli’s going to make a move, drop back 5-10 spots and take Jackson there, and since in Mock’s you can’t project trade, he’s basically projecting the pick he thinks Pioli wants with a trade.

Wait he did that once? Ohhhh nvm.
Seriously though. It could happen and we don’t have much Pioli as a chief organizer to say it wont. It happened when he was with the patriots with mayo, it could happen again.
Once again, I agree with you and I dont think it will. But I’m not so confident to say there is not chance.

This isn't happening
I respect PK more than most seem to on this site, but Pioli’s not taking Tyson Jackson #3 overall, he has too good of an understanding of value than that.
Someone on another board talked about simply passing on a pick, letting the clock run out…if Pioli truely thinks Jackson is the best fit he could wait 4, 5, maybe 6 picks before snagging Jackson without any worry of someone jumping up and taking him.
I’m not as gung-ho BPA as some, but I can’t see Pioli thinking Jackson is BPA or very close. He’s also not at an ‘impact’ enough of a position to reach.

Just because
You like Curry doesn’t mean he’s worth the #3 pick. He’s an ILB in a 3/4 or OLB in a 4/3 and we’re shifting to a 3-4 defense. 3-4 ILBs are a hell of a lot easier to find than DEs that can lock the entire right side of our line down for the foreseeable future.
TJ is worth more to a young 3-4 defense (re: ours) than an ILB or RT from day 1.

Agree, the love affair with Curry needs to end.
He’s an inside backer that doesn’t rush the QB. If we’re taking an inside LB, take the best one. Take Rey.

Hmm
yeah, that Ray Lewis isn’t a game changer at all.
He didn’t have much of an impact as a 3-4 ILB.
3-4 DE is NOT a ‘game changer position. If you want to make that arguement, you should be talking about an OLB like Orakpo. I wouldn’t agree with you there either, but at least it’d be an arguement.

So who is he going
to split reps with then? He’s got no place at OLB in a 3-4 and we’ve already got more than enough ILBs on the roster (DJ, Thomas, Williams, and Beisel are all the right size/speed for ILB in a 3-4).
Why don’t we draft another CB too while we’re in the business of adding depth. Curry is a depth-pick, aka he’s a luxury. We have bigger needs on this team, specifically on our defense, than ILB.

by DT58forever on Apr 21, 2009 4:24 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Excuse me, but what are you talking about?
Curry? Curry wouldn’t split reps with anyone. He’s a 3 down LB, its one of the reasons scouts are ‘in love’ with him as some of you have said.
You’d build around him. Sorry, but I’m not making plans for my long-term defense building around Zack Thomas and Vrabel. Those are guys with one and two years left, respectively. They both can be part time players at this point as far as I’m concerned. Ideally DJ would be able to play OLB, but I don’t see that happening.
If not, then you put DJ and Curry inside (with Thomas backing up) have Vrabel, and according to last week’s camp, you’ve got McBride and Hali on the other side. I agree that OLB would still be a big whole.
by kcsno56 on Apr 21, 2009 4:25 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
If OLB is still a big hole
Why not worry about replacing our ILBS next year. I agree that vrabel and Thomas are old, but you don’t draft a guy to play ILB who has never SHOWN that he can pass rush!
It’s that simple. If you want an ILB, get an ILB. Curry is an amazing player for a 4-3 team. Not for the chiefs.

Thomas has already stated
he didn’t come to KC to rebuild. It’s also hard for a player brought in to lead (Vrabel and Thomas were signed because of their leadership abilities, not because they’re still freak athletes) to do so when he’s splitting reps with a rookie.
I’m not planning on a long-term system built around Vrabel or Thomas either but the signing of Thomas is obvious foreshadowing. By signing Thomas we lock our ILB spots down with DJ beside him. Curry is an ILB in the 3-4. You can say that Thomas and Vrabel are “part time players at this point” but if that were the case they would never have been signed. They were brought in for a reason, and that reason is to be field commanders for our legion of talented youth, something that is literally impossible if they’re not even on the field in the first place.
RDE in a 4-3 Under or 3-4 is a crucial position if you hope to have any chance at stopping the run (something we were pretty horrible at accomplishing last year). Considering the talent-level and upside of our secondary, I’ll take stopping the run (and coincidentally improving Dorsey’s pass-rush ability by forcing one-on-one blocks) over an ILB any day of the week.
Bask in the glory that is Kwame Harris. Poor Alex...
by JHWK on Apr 21, 2009 4:56 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
And Pioli has shown, he could care less what players feel that are under contract
Thomas/Vrabel are insurance policies that can also provide leadership in part time rolls and play special teams. I’m not of the opinion that the only way they can be leaders are playing every snap.
You can say that Thomas and Vrabel are "part time players at this point" but if that were the case they would never have been signed.
Says who? Its nothing to spend 2 million dollars on Thomas and use him as a part time player, and help teach the 3-4. Vrabel was part of a trade, and he actually fits in as an OLB.
The more those two play, the worse we are, short term and long term. In the short term, it means we don’t have anyone better to get them off the field, and in the long term, we’re not playing our youth and developing our future.
I guess we can agree to disagree, but 3-4 DE is not a more important position than 3-4 ILB. They are fairly similar in importance, and with that, the premier talent wins out, and Curry is, almost without question the the bigger talent.
I’m not saying we have to take Curry and no one else, I understand the argument of position importance, its why if we go LT, I’ll understand.
There are several game-changing, and HOF level ILB that weren’t pass-rushers, and I think saying that for a defensive player to be worthy of a top pick they have to be a pass-rusher ignores the great ILB we’ve seen over the years.
by kcsno56 on Apr 21, 2009 5:20 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Looking at KC in context
is what elucidates all of this. 3-4 DE and 3-4 ILB are of equal value when looked at in no light other than that of a 3-4 defensive scheme. When you look at it from the perspective that we’ve already got ILB’s on the roster than can start (as well as guys like Danell Ellerbe on day 2 that can fill the roll just as well at a fraction the cost/risk) and we’ve got virtually no one that can start at RDE in a 3-4 the values change, or at least should.
Having guys like Vrabel and Thomas on the team to teach our young players how to win is utterly pointless if they’re not even on the field enough to lead guys like DJ and Tamba. We didn’t sign them for depth, we signed them as stop-gaps to buy time for us to find a more permanent replacement in the future and drafting a $75mil rookie this year to play in place of Thomas just doesn’t make sense considering the effort Pioli expended on attracting Thomas to KC over the Jets.

Agree
IMO, Jackson is the perfect fit for our team. He can play DE regardless of whether we do the 3-4, 4-3, or a hybrid. He could even fill in at DT in the 4-3 if necessary. Definitely what our team needs. Plus the chemistry between he and Dorsey would probably be a plus.

Sorry, Gents
But its a fallacy to say Curry doesn’t play an important enough position to take him #3, but then argue for Jackson.
3-4 DE isn’t the impact type position that 4-3 DE is. If we were sticking with a 4-3, and we planned on putting him outside, and felt he would be an impact pass-rusher…than yeah, you could make the arguement.
by kcsno56 on Apr 21, 2009 4:08 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
The point is
That we’ve got a bigger hole at RDE than ILB and that means that if both players are comparable to one another (and they are, even if you like Curry more, they’re both equally safe picks even if Curry is the more sexy pick) the one filling a position of greater need (Jackson) has to be assigned a higher overall value.

I've got an issue with all of this "passing on the pick" talk.
1st of all, it’s never been done intentionally.
2nd of all, every agent out there will be negotiating at the teams ORIGINAL draft position. It’s a guaranteed holdout situation.
All these “experts” who trot out that idea in their various articles are completely out of touch.

None taken
I don’t think its likely at all.
Do I think its impossible? No. Simply because rookie contracts have hijacked the NFL. They are absurd, and even the NFLPA knows it. I would love to see the Lions not make a selection until #5 and take Eugene Monroe or Raji or someone.
Without it happening, it will still be the first issue negotiated on in the new CBA. The fact that there have been zero trades in the top 5 in the last 5 years is directly related to the ludicicrous contracts given out. What do you think about the 100’s of posts that have the Chiefs trading out of the 3rd spot? I bet if you put up a poll, of what people suspect will happen Sat, most would vote that they think we’ll trade down. This is almost as unlikely, simply b/c no one wants to pay for that pick.

Slotting of draft picks
Like the NBA.
Jake Long’s contract had several leaders in the NFLPA upset as it essentially made him the highest paid OL in the league, and he’d never played a snap.
Owners want slotting, and they’ll certainly get it, since less money in rookies pockets means more in veterans pockets. And its always easier to sell out future members of your union to help current members.

I am just playing devil's advocate in the comment above
I actually agree with you.
A rookie cap would restrict the amount of money paid rookies, which would mean there would be more money going to the veterans. And the veterans are the ones the NFLPA represents so they should be on this.
by Joel Thorman on Apr 21, 2009 3:57 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I think it's pretty much impossible, because it doesn't make sense
If the Lions just keep passing and drop to #5 and take Monroe or anyone else, Monroe’s agent is going to be looking for the same contract that they would’ve gotten had they taken Monroe with #1. the Ram’s pick will still be negotiating as though they were #2, but they might have something to say about being #1 overall as well. In that scenario, both the Rams and Lions will be paying out #1 money. It doesn’t make sense from a business standpoint.
by RedNose on Apr 21, 2009 3:58 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well
If the Lions took Monroe at #5, his agent would ask for #1 money, and the Lions would want to pay him #5 money, and he’d probably get #3 money.
That’d be my guess.
Again, I doubt it ever happens, but I also doubt we’re able to trade out of #3.
by kcsno56 on Apr 21, 2009 4:00 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
And then
everyone else would be paying the pick before money. So the Chiefs would be paying No. 2 money to the No. 3 pick. That is quite a bit of a difference in guaranteed money I believe.
by Primmtime on Apr 21, 2009 4:02 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well...
The Chiefs would be negotiating as if he’s the #3 pick, while the agent would want #2 money. They’d find a middle, there’s too much money not too.
by kcsno56 on Apr 21, 2009 4:04 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah but it would create big time problems with the negotiating process
Because, while I agree that eventually they would get something done, the agent would be demanding that the Lions pay for their original #1 draft slot. If they didn’t they would be doing a disservice to their client and would be a joke in sport agent circles.

I think we all read into what other mock drafts say and want the Chiefs to draft the best player available. But if we are set at that position (which there aren’t very many that are set in our lineup) why should we draft that person still? I think we need to draft the best player available for our biggest need, even if it is a small reach (draft at no. 3 instead of a guy that should be drafted at no. 7).

He comes with added bonus
Denver is hot for Jackson and that would mean we robbed the Donkeys of Cutler, Cassel and Jackson.
Bask in the glory that is Kwame Harris. Poor Alex...

We can't really rob Denver with our pick.
If we pick up Jackson they will just get Rey who is going to terrorize cassel for years.

What are the odds
of the Chiefs actually signing their first round pick and get him into camp before it starts this year with the new staff in place? Has New England ever had problems with holdouts with Pioli and Company?

but you don’t draft a guy to play ILB who has never SHOWN that he can pass rush!
Why not? How many ILB’s in the NFL right now can pass rush? The only time an ILB is going to rush the QB is on an occasional blitz, and Curry is athletic enough to blitz past a guard.
Marley will be walking soon...she could probably play Linebacker better than some of the guys we had.
