Chiefs Select DT Alex Magee From Purdue with Third Round Pick

in 2009 Kansas City Chiefs Draft

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)

It's starting to look like Dorsey has no spot in the 3-4
Time is a great teacher... unfortunately it kills all it's pupils.
Hopefully we
find the next Dave Szott or Will shields in these later rounds, Sack must go.
Now hopefully this team is fun to watch again! Thanks Scott, Clark!!
Dorsey on the trade block?

I really hope Dorsey doesn't get traded and steps up next year
That would be better than getting another crapshoot pick
if hes not, where does he play? i can't see where

yeah
The Bengals got three first round talents thusfar
Time is a great teacher... unfortunately it kills all it's pupils.
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
He doesn’t have a very high motor

I don't see it
He’d be freakishly tall for one. He seems like a prototypical 3-4 DE.
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.
No love for the o scares me.
Now hopefully this team is fun to watch again! Thanks Scott, Clark!!
Remember a lot of that
was tampon 2, the scheme we were running. Scheme alone will change it some.
Now hopefully this team is fun to watch again! Thanks Scott, Clark!!
But we didn't have the players for the 3-4 before...
So we had to go out in free agency and in the draft to fix it.
Yep, but
we have to have a good enough o-line to keep the defense off the field so they can rest.
Now hopefully this team is fun to watch again! Thanks Scott, Clark!!
Agreed...that's why such depth on the d-line is needed as well.
That’s why the Chiefs are picking 3rd…they NEED A LOT.
and we still don't
IL and pass rush are unfilled.

yeah, game changers all over the place
or not

Game changers?
When you say game changers do you mean sexy picks that everyone can brag about in the breakroom at work?
"...Said he couldn't go on the American way"
and with the compensatory 3rd round pick...
KC takes Mike Vrabel LB….(Kiper) he can also play TE in goaline situations….which will help since the trading of TG to Atlanta…

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 pumped as hell.
Alright, time to flip the TG second for a third and a fourth.
I do not snort the coke I only smoke...sensimilla.

From what I've read
Pioli values early 2nd rounders like nobody’s business. I don’t think he’s moving that pick.
by Joel Thorman on Apr 26, 2009 9:46 AM CDT up reply actions
Pioli has traded the Falcons 2010 pick
for Darrius Heyward Bay (inexplicably after the Raiders signed him, therefore eating much of the signing bonus) and Asomugha. Al Davis is playing with legos in the press box.
Dorsey as rotational.
Although, I actually bet Dorsey is the starter. McGee can then back up BOTH Tank and Dorsey.
I love the depth.
Seems so
If Dorsey was in there too. I don’t think the Offense could see the goal line:)

by Joel Thorman on Apr 26, 2009 9:47 AM CDT up reply actions
Hmm..
Originally I thought Dorsey would get moved to the open DE spot, considering it’s almost the same position as the tackle he played in a 4-3 scheme.
Apparently that’s not the case now…
As the Giants can attest
Having a lot of defensive linemen isn’t a bad thing.

as long as they're competent, I would agree
I’m still looking for the competence here

Either way...
I’m excited about the potential of our D-Line.

oooh that's right
I was all up in rage.. “Wood before Mack!?” then again the Bills will have an excellent tool to take apart the 3-4’s of the AFC East
Time is a great teacher... unfortunately it kills all it's pupils.
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
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.
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…
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.
Whether we focussed on the O-Line or D-Line..
It would take 2 drafts to shore up both sides in the trenches. We’ve quite a few holes to fill.
I like the trend or rebuilding our aweful Defense...
….starting from the trenches with our 1st two picks. Pioli is picking players that should be able to execute the scheams that the coaches want to run. I LIKE IT
is that who the boys went with

I'm betting he will
but if he doesn’t perform he’s getting benched in favor of Macgee
My new question is what happens to McBride?
Time is a great teacher... unfortunately it kills all it's pupils.
I agree, too.
Magee will come off of the bench, spelling all three members of the D-Line depending on the situation, and stuff.
I’m pumped.
LB (basically bust)

the OLB opposite Dorsey
is the same general height and weight as McBride.. So maybe
Time is a great teacher... unfortunately it kills all it's pupils.
of course he is going to
our new third rounder will be a rotational guy for a while…maybe a starter later
Beat the Donkeys!!
NG Depth
I dont mind getting depth at 3-4 DE, but what about our NG? We have Tank as the starter, but we need a big guy (320lbs-330lbs) to rotate in with Tank. For Arizona they had two 330+ rotational guys (Gabe Watson/Alan Branch) which made their defense work.
We CAN BUILD ON THIS(without Herm)!
Well at least Pioli
is building from the lines back. Gott be good upfront on both sides of the ball.
Now hopefully this team is fun to watch again! Thanks Scott, Clark!!
cue people calling for offensive linemen...
(which I wouldn’t mind seeing with the next couple picks)
Herman Johnson is still up there
LSU again in the 4th?

This quote from the NFL draft page says it all about the Pioli, Magee relationship
“A team looking for a quick under tackle like Ryan or Arizona’s Darnell Dockett could find a similar player in Magee.” bq. Blockquoted paragraph
I think this explains his role
"A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week."

You can argue that the Chiefs have gotten the most value out of these first few rounds….Jackson, Magee and don’t forget Cassel and Vrabel…

What would Hill's impact be?
Nanz, can you give us a little breakdown of Leroy Hill and how he would fit our defense?
We CAN BUILD ON THIS(without Herm)!
Hill's a tenacious player
he plays on the outside of Seattles linebacking core. He’s got a ton of speed, but he’s also a character issue guy. He could shift into ILB for us he doesn’t have the size to play rush linebacker. But he has speed and feel enough to play inside.

The Pick of McGee leads me to believe
that they think Turk and Tamba can play the rush OLB.
a rotational starter between the two of them
means our LB spots are filled
Time is a great teacher... unfortunately it kills all it's pupils.
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!
zacKKKKK for Cy Young!

I just read that Magee played some full back in goal line situations in high school and may do some in the NFL.
High school?
Probably because he was the biggest guy on the field. Don’t see it happening in the NFL.

I don't think we are picking a LB this year
Other than Vrable and Thomas KC was really active in FA this year with LB’s… Most of them young too.. Robertson, Mays and Dacus
I agree.
Plus, LB’s in the 3-4 can be more easily found than the 3 D-lineman. You only have 3 of ’em on the D-line, so they all have to be money.
I’m not too worried. Obviously, it isn’t like we’ll be able to stroll out the Ravens’ or Steelers’ LB corps, but they should be serviceable.
Interesting Note
Both guys picked so far are Christians who talk about how one of their hobbies are going to church. Obviously Pioli is focused on character. If you have read Patriot Reign, Pioli is a guy who is very concerned with character

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.

Eh, no need to build there. We’ll just draft everywhere else.
I think alot of NFL Executives
fall in love with stats. Well lineman dont produce the sexy stats.
I LOVE Brandon Tate.
If he is healthy all year, he is a Day One pick.
I wanted us to take a flyer on him in a couple of rounds.
Injury issues.
He tore up his knee really badly last year, October-ish I think.
So, he might not be 100% for training camp.
he tested positive for Marijuana at the combine

Jaguars, I think.

They are like the polar opposites of the Lions.
I want Meredith
If we keep Waters, RT is bigger need than G
Offensive Lineman
For sure. Whoever Pioli thinks will do best.
That's pretty much where I'm at
The Welker-like player is important, especially for Cassel. I don’t see Duke falling…I thought he would be an early 2nd.

I'm hoping Meredith makes it to us
But I doubt he will.
Thought he’d have made a fine selection with our 3rd.
Pioli is a idiot
This is the worst draft ever, I dont even want to watch anymore, Billicheck did all the real work in New England not this d bag.
haha
Yes, I was just looking to see how fast I could get a rise.
Unfortunately
Some people are actually saying things similar to that.

Can someone wake me up in the 4th round?

How the hell is Shawn Nelson still out there?
If he is there in Round 4, I wouldn’t mind him just for sheer value reasons.
Some people had him as a better TE than Pettigrew.
I just think Cottam will do just fine for us
we have too much other need.

If Herm and Peterson were still here, we'd surely be drafting a kicker with the #3 overall. That would solve our kicking problems forever!!!
no chance he's there in 4th round though
with this run on WR
lol

going over the top with
I SOOOO want Mike Thomas.
I am so in love with him.
It’s all good :)
We agree a lot
I vote we do a joint fanpost about one of our prospects this week when the draft stuff settles down.

There went the 6'6 wr from Cal-Poly....
iam sure he doesnt fit our system, but ANOTHER d-end is gonna save the franchise..
Al Davis
Now this guy is a genious, he really deserves and award of something.
No matter what happens with anyother teams draft picks, he is always going to be the biggest idiot of the 2009 draft.
He is
every other teams’ savior

I think he is responsible for like 3 suicides last night.
"...Said he couldn't go on the American way"
I am sooooo glad...
…he is in OUR division. Makes Pioli’s job just THAT much easier. LOL
I love it!
Can Al give some of that Kool-Aid to Bowlen….now we’ll be rollin’

Am I wrong or doesn't our O line need some significant help?
By my count we need 2-3 more players on the O-Line. I know Pioli has been successful picking up OL later in the draft so maybe that’s where he’ll go next.
if we keep Waters
we really only NEED a RT. I’m hopin that Meredith keeps sliding.
sounds good

meredith would be a great pickup
I’ve kinda got tired of guessing who people are going to pick up. I hate being wrong everytime haha.
ill just stick to making fun the raiders.
"...Said he couldn't go on the American way"
go ahead and pull a H. Edwards...
and DRAFT a kicker….that would put the official stamp of dumbshit approval on this draft
Brad Childress
looks like a pedophile.,,

Jasper Brinkley
I know he jacked his knee up a little last season, but this guy if he is healthy will be a animal.
Great pick by the Titans

I don't think we have quite that luxury
of continually trading down. we need as high quality as we can get.
No, I agree.
We shouldn’t be doing the same thing for a couple of years before we’ve built up a team like theirs (hopefully).
I’m just sayin’…
scratch that
i meant of trading away the pick for a pick next year. we can definitely trade down.
Makes me wonder about Scotty???
How much is the moving around really from Bill?

slow accumulation of picks
it’s the patriot way and this is the culmination of years of this sort of horse trading, they are always going to have a surplus of picks. Hopefully in a few years Pioli will have got the ball roling with us and we will be in the same position.
Blame my wife!
Waiting until August!
Belichek is still the master
Trading #89 overall for a 2nd next year.
Good morning all
I haven’t really been following the draft too closely due to Manflu. But I have to say I like the prospect of rebuilding the D with some solid guys. The wife keeps on telling me about the legendary D of the past and I really want to see some domination.
Blame my wife!
Waiting until August!
Quarantine, eccles!!!
He’s got swine flu!

You would think but you never know with Pioli.
Watch him take a CB or RB.

Charley Casserly just commented on the Chief's draft
On a chat on NFL.com coverage of the draft and he said several scouts told him that Alex McGee was a first-round talent coming into this year but because of a position switch this year didn’t play as well.
That's what I've heard, too.
He had to switch positions because no one else at Purdue could play LDE.
I love it.
or yet another bust
in a long line of D line busts
The only measure of true success in the NFL is the Vince Lombardi trophy. Anything less is a rationalization.
I'll take it.
A first round talent in the 3rd? No problem. I have faith Pioli/Haley will use the player in such a way it plays to his strengths.
