Chiefs Select DT Alex Magee From Purdue with Third Round Pick

in 2009 Draft
383 comments
The Kansas City Chiefs have dipped into the Big Ten to find another piece of the puzzle on the defensive line. Alex Magee, defensive tackle out of Purdue, was the 67th player taken in the 2009 NFL Draft.
6'3", 295 pounds
Mel Kiper called him the "best defensive player at Purdue in the last two years." He's projected by many to be a defensive end in a 3-4 defensive scheme. I'm not sure about the player, but I understand why the Chiefs snagged a defensive end.
Taking a look at the Chiefs recent offseason program, all the defensive ends in the Herm Edwards era (Tamba Hali, Turk McBride, Brian Johnston) were practicing with the linebackers.
In Scott Pioli first three years in New England, he and Bill Belichick picked their defensive ends early. Richard Seymour went #6 overall in 2001 and Ty Warren went #13 in 2003.
Here's what Mocking the Draft has to say on Magee, who they projected as a round four pick:
Strengths: At Purdue, Magee played both end and tackle and would be an ideal tackle in a pressure scheme. He uses his quickness at tackle to beat linemen off the snap and get good positioning. Moves laterally really well and has the body control to change direction without losing speed. Long-limbed and has a frame to carry more weight. Team player who switched positions as a senior.
Weaknesses: To make it in the pros, Magee needs to add a lot more power to his frame. Otherwise, when he misses a beat off the snap he can be pushed around. Will sometimes allow blockers into his chest. Gets completely immobilized by double teams. Inconsistent effort and will go long stretches without making an impact.
So we've got our two defensive ends in round one and round three. Tank Tyler will reportedly play nose tackle. Where is Glenn Dorsey going to play?
Welcome Alex Magee!
Current Picks:
Round 1, #3 LSU DE Tyson Jackson
Round 2, #34 Traded to New England for QB Matt Cassel and LB Mike Vrabel
Round 2, #67 Purdue DT Alex Magee
Remaining Picks:
- Round 4, Pick 2 (102)
- Round 5, Pick 3 (139)
- Round 6, Pick 2 (175)
- Round 7, Pick 3 (212)
- Round 7, Pick 47 (256)

Two of them have a HUGE chance to bust, though.
Particularly Johnson.
They’ve drafted the most talent so far, by far, though. It’s just how that all works out for them.

He might be shakey in the pros

I think 6'1-6'2 is a more prototypical Nose
I’ll admit when I wrote that, I thought Magee was 6’4, but regardless, how many college 290 (his playing weight last year) DE’s move to Nose in the NFL?
None, this guy’s got 3-4 DE written all over him.

I'm going to say this
And expect backlash….
If Herm/Carl had made these exact two picks, this board would be shitting themselves.
I’m fully on board with Pioli, but that doesn’t mean that I won’t be critical at times I don’t like what we’ve done, I’d much rather have Pioli calling the shots, but these picks remind me of a Carl draft.

True DT I am also going to give it time
Pioli knows what he is doing.
by Jay 23 on Apr 26, 2009 9:45 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
It isn't comparing apples-to-apples, though.
Pioli has a helluva lot more credibility to back up his picks. He has hit on nearly every single defensive line pick, at least the major ones, in his career.
So, I trust his selections more than just Peterson’s guys, who had a much higher chance of busting out according to history.
by rockchalk on Apr 26, 2009 9:42 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Pioli did or Bellichick did?
That’s the question.
Just like we always asked do the Patriots win because of Brady or Bellichick. Well they went 11-5 without Brady and with a guy that hadn’t played since High School, so that sort of answers that question.
by ChiefDJ on Apr 26, 2009 9:50 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I suppose.
I’m not saying that every pick should be treated as infallible.
However, he has a track record to go off of. And, it isn’t like either of our first two picks were reaches.
by rockchalk on Apr 26, 2009 9:51 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Actually
I think both of his first two picks were reaches.
That doesn’t mean they will end up being bad picks, but if we didn’t take Jackson, he probably goes around 10.
I can’t find anyone that has Magee this high, if you can, show me, please.
by kcsno56 on Apr 26, 2009 9:56 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
no we couldn't have.
We couldn’t have taken jackson at 10 because we couldn’t pick at 10. So either we get our guy or we don’t.
"...Said he couldn't go on the American way"
by Jux on Apr 26, 2009 9:58 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Look
I understand that, I also said it may not be a bad pick, but IMO, it was a reach.
No one was talking about the guy going that high until they heard from us that we were interested in him.
I’m sure Pioli tried to move back. I’d be curious if the Jets offer was there for us at #3. If it was, and they were going to take Jackson, I’d have like them to make the move, simply b/c you could have gottne a similar player mid-1st.
by kcsno56 on Apr 26, 2009 10:04 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
See, I wouldn't have taken the Jets' offer.
I think it was garbage, really. Three so-so, marginal players and a 2nd round pick to move up 12 spots? I wouldn’t have taken it if they offered that to us.
I would have HATED that trade back.
And, we couldn’t have gotten such a dominating, future Richard Seymour-type 5-technique at 17.
Similar value, probably. But not the same type of player that would have such a high value for us.
by rockchalk on Apr 26, 2009 10:08 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I thought it was a bad deal, too
But not if we were going Jackson, simply b/c taking him #3 was asinine to me.
Especially after going 3-4 DE again at the top of the 3rd.
Yeah, you need depth, I get that, but we need starters, lots of them.
by kcsno56 on Apr 26, 2009 10:09 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
And the Seymour comparison
Is just nuts. I hope I’m wrong, but again, no one made that comparison until the last couple weeks before the draft when Pioli (for some reason) let it out that we were interested in him.
by kcsno56 on Apr 26, 2009 10:10 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Jackson probably wouldn't have gone before 9, yes.
However, the Patriots were rumored to be interested in trading up into the Top 10 just to take him, so maybe it was earlier.
But I don’t consider that a reach. He fit our needs more. Maybe we had him rated above Curry? Who knows. But I don’t think he is a “reach”, like Darius Heyward-Bey is or anything.
As for Magee, Draft Countdown gave him a Round 2 or 3 grade. NFL.com had him as a 3rd round pick.
So, it wasn’t like he was a great value-steal, or anything, but he was picked right around where he should have.
by rockchalk on Apr 26, 2009 10:01 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Draft Countdown
And you can look yourself, grades people in a way that there would have to 60 picks per round for them all to fit.
I’ll check out the NFL.com ranking, I couldn’t find anyone that had him going at the top of the 3rd, anywhere, but I haven’t really had a lot of time to look.
by kcsno56 on Apr 26, 2009 10:07 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I didn't check that.
My bad.
According to NFL.com’s Tiers, he was ranked in Tier 8, listed 4th. So, somewhere around 84th, which is after our pick (yes), but still in the 3rd round.
Like I said, it certainly wasn’t some Michael Johnson-level value pick.
However, I don’t think it was a reach.
by rockchalk on Apr 26, 2009 10:09 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
so?
Why does Nfl.com decide when a play should be picked? How many did they call right?
a players value is where he is picked. Picking someone at 3 that we need who was projected by ‘experts’ to go in the top 10 isn’t a freaking reach. Let it go.
"...Said he couldn't go on the American way"
by Jux on Apr 26, 2009 10:10 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I agree with you Jux
I’m not basing it off of nfl.com at all. They are one of many places.
And Its true a players value is where he’s picked, but c’mon, if Detroit takes Magee #1 overall, is it a reach?
And we all like to say the Raiders are having a sh8tty draft, but by your logic, they’re all at the right ‘value.’
by kcsno56 on Apr 26, 2009 10:13 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
No, I agree wi th you.
And both of them were probably slight “reaches”, in the value sense of the word.
Both of them were close enough, though, to afford the team liberty to pick someone they need the most.
It just depends your philosophy, I suppose. IF you are BPA, then yeah, both are reaches. If you’re a combination of BPA and need, then they fit in quite well.
by rockchalk on Apr 26, 2009 10:16 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Nah thats my point.
I can understand calling someone a reach when ESPN doesn’t have highlight tape to show.
Or someone projected to make it to the 2nd round and getting in the top 10.
But the #1 5 tech and the guy we want 7 spots out isn’t.
It’s exactly what Pioli talked about in the predraft press conference. Its a mix of BPA and need. We needed to cure our defense and Pioli likes building line out.
So I guess my logic is that the experts can’t be expected to project someone within lke 15 spots. If you reach over 15 spots on someone who ALL of the experts have placed in a certain round…then yes thats a reach. 7 spots? nah.
"...Said he couldn't go on the American way"
by Jux on Apr 26, 2009 10:20 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well...
First of all, the difference between #3 and #10 is way bigger than the difference between 3rd and 4th round. You can see that in the Draft Value Chart, or you can just look at it in terms of impact.
Look, I’m not a BPA kind of guy, not at all, I understand the need to fill holes, but we had plenty of holes to choose from, and there is no way you can make the argument that Magee filled the biggest need on the team.
As for the Jackson pick, if Pioli felt that was our biggest need, he should have signed Olshansky, who signed a very reasonable priced contract with Dallas.

9 out of 10 were sooo angry at the Chiefs for taking Jackson, it was ridiculous.
But usually, I do agree. Lots of homers tend to occupy sites like these.

I'll go back and look...
9 of 10 will shock me if thats true. I’ve never been on here and see even 30-40% disagree with a Pioli decision.
And people would read me and assume I don’t like Pioli…that’s not true at all, I loved his hiring, but I am concerned with his two biggest decisions up until now, HC hiring and #3 pick.
Although, the Cassel trade was probably just as important, and I loved it.
by kcsno56 on Apr 26, 2009 10:30 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
we wouldn't have
if Herm/Carl made these decisions 10yrs ago. It was being jaded by the failures at DLine. Pioli has a good track record with dline, so we’ll just wait and see. Your point is that we got to the point where we no longer trusted Carl to make a dline pick. I agree and that’s a good part of why he was canned.
by KCScuba on Apr 26, 2009 9:43 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Here's my point
It seems like some people are going to like what we do just because Pioli did it.
If I’d have told some of you guys before the draft we’d take Jackson #3 and Magee at the top of the 3rd, some of you would have been very upset…then when it actually happens, people rubber stamp it b/c Pioli did it. I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt as well, but he’s going to make mistakes, he’s human, and I think he just made one, although I hope I’m wrong.

I really don't think we are trading Dorsey.
It’s all about depth on the D-Line. Sure, we’ll trade him if a good offer comes around (3rd this year + 1st next year?), but we aren’t going to trade him just because we’ve drafted two defensive linemen. It’s all about depth and rotating bodies.
Our D-Line should be ridiculously scary, in a couple of years. If Tank or Dorsey can develop and become a beast in this new scheme, and it will get to a Patriots’ level.

I'm still very worried about our Offensive Line
Seems like drafting a 2nd DE shouldn’t have been our main concern, but what do I know
by marbotty on Apr 26, 2009 9:50 AM CDT reply actions 0 recs
or a LB, since, you know, we're going to have to start 4 of them now
by marbotty on Apr 26, 2009 9:50 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah.
But LB’s in the 3-4 aren’t expected to do as much, really, as the defensive linemen. The key to the 3-4 is definitely the D-Line.
Build from the inside-out. Plus, we have Vrabel and Thomas and Derrick Johnson to play LB. In that last slot, we’ve moved back a billion DE’s (Hali, McBride, Johnston), and ohpefully one of them can fill that.
I’m not too worried about the LB’s.
by rockchalk on Apr 26, 2009 9:56 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I guess I'm not as optimistic about the Hali/McBride move to LB
But then, I’m not familiar with folks making that switch. Does anyone know of examples where that has worked out? I think if someone provided me with one I’d feel a lot better about it…
by marbotty on Apr 26, 2009 9:58 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
No, I'm not optimistic either, really.
But I figure that one of them can at least be somewhat competent. If not, I’m sure some undrafted FA, or even a 7th round pick, could fill the role fine for awhile before we can draft a replacement.
by rockchalk on Apr 26, 2009 10:02 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

The biggest thing to remember here is that Pioli isn't just building a team for next year
Pioli is bulding a franchise. Don’t worry so much about where these guys fit with what we have right now. Remember, he told Waters that “he could’ve hired 22 men off the street to win 2 games last year”. He obviously isn’t overly impressed with the talent that is here right now. Most of King Carl’s guys will be gone within 2-3 years, and the guys we pick today will have to be the building blocks that Pioli will use to bring a Super Bowl back to KC!

He tore up his knee really badly last year, October-ish I think.
So, he might not be 100% for training camp.

pfffst.
Maybe its just because they are Athletes that they get a hard time about weed.
They should test them for Alcohol too. Its worse for you than marijuana.
