With the 175th pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs select Quinten Lawrence out of McNeese State.
6'0", 184 pounds
Scout.com had him rated as the 53rd wide receiver. Here is what NFL Draft Scout had to say about him:
Adequate height and has a wiry strength. Extremely fast and quick. Eats up cushion by exploding off the line and getting on top of the corner before he knows it. Sells the outside or deep route well and cuts quickly to the inside or comes back to the ball. Catches the ball with his reliable hands, able to go outside his frame. Quick feet into and out of routes. Good vision and a naturally elusive runner with the ball in his hands. Efforts downfield blocking on quick screens and run plays. Could have impact as a returner because of his speed and willingness to go straight upfield.
The downsides are mostly size related including "thin frame", no bump-and-run experience, can't block much.
Versatility
He played wide receiver for much of his career but the team also played him a bit of defensive back. He's also returned kicks. This is a total Pioli pick with the multiple positions played.
Athlete
He played basketball (all-conference) and long jump (state champion) in high school. He had an injury his senior year of at McNeese State that limited him to five games. His athleticism allows for the versatility.
According to our draft interests page, the Chiefs had been rumored to be interested in Lawrence.
- Round 1, Pick 3 (3) - DE Tyson Jackson LSU
- Round 2, #34 traded to New England Patriots in exchange for QB Matt Cassel and LB Mike Vrabel
- Round 3, Pick 3 (67) - DT Alex Magee, Purdue
- Round 4, Pick 2 (102) CB Donald Washington, Ohio St.
- Round 5, Pick 3 (139) T Colin Brown, Missouri
- Round 6, Pick 2 (175) WR Quinten Lawrence, McNeese St.
- Round 7, Pick 3 (212)
- Round 7, Pick 47 (256)

This is the first pick I've liked
And its because its in the 6th round, and a good time to take a shot at someone like this kid.
I’d have rather had Ellerbe or Jennings, the RB, but we need a returner, good time to roll the dice on speed.
Here is a YOUTUBE Video of him
He has Blazing speed…..I mean Blazing!! Just watch!!

Poor man maclin
dude looks goo fast and is usally behind the D backs, was really impressed with the yards after catch
I was thinking
Poor man’s Desean Jackson (Phi)
undersized with great speed and ball skills… a threat anytime the ball is in his hands.
I like having this guy in the slot with Bowe as #1 and Engram as #2.
by Ochophosphate on Apr 26, 2009 3:25 PM CDT up reply actions
We still have Mark Bradley, right?
I would htink he is the #2. Engram in the slot, with this Lawrence kid his protege.
Thats exactly what i was thinking
Have him learn from Engram and return kicks and punts. H"opefully this guy can be our slot of the future.
Don't blame me, I voted for content of character.
I like this pick (shocking, I know...hehe).
We needed a slot receiver, and I like this guy. Good blcoker, hard worker, excellent athlete.
I see him more as our KR/PR
I dont know is he is durable enough to be the man in the slot.
Pain is Temporary ~ Pride is Forever!!
And the Draft Interests Page hits!
We had the Chiefs rumored to be interested in him.
Him and Tyson Jackson. 2/6 so far…
I think it's fairly safe to say for all the LJ haters
He’ll be on the opening day roster. I love this pick in Lawrence, he will have the chance to spread the field with Bowe.
"The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur." - Vince Lombardi
I think LJ may or may not be on the opening day roster
But yesterday and today don’t tell us anything.
Pioli could have been trying to deal him and found no takers. He may love Charles and Kolby…I think LJ has a good shot at being on the roster, and a dedicated LJ makes us better, but don’t be so sure just yet.
Why is that?
He didn’t draft Fitzgerald or Boldin. They had been there a long time before Haley came along.
Agreed
Hopefully he’ll be a solid number 3 his rookie season.
I like the pick
And I think the most we can hope for his rookie season is PR/KR, and #4 or 5 WR.
Most all very fast guys in college play WR
even though they will be more suited to play Special Teams in the NFL….Lawrence is no exception. I dont think he grades as one of our WR’s….I bet he will be out main return guy.
Pain is Temporary ~ Pride is Forever!!
If you look at all of the pickups Pioli has made
I think special teams should be a real strength for us
Good thing he doesnt play us...
“Mike” Tyson Jackson would smash his stupid face in!!
Pain is Temporary ~ Pride is Forever!!
Except for the fact that he doesn't seem to realize
that they play 16 games in the NFL. He stated if you go 8-4 in the NFL you win your division. I think he is the biggest bust potential.
by WesternChief on Apr 26, 2009 3:31 PM CDT up reply actions
I think the comment was meant as
After 12 games you could be 8-4 and in the race for your division. That’s how i took it
The quick slant in the 2nd play in the youtube vid is
a mirror image of Fitz to the house in the Super Bowl.
Same play, same result.
I’m not saying he is Fitz, but it is nice to see.
I don't have religion. I have Baduizm...and Billie Holiday...and Janet. Actually, just Janet.
We'd say Pioli likes large people
by Official Arrowhead Pride Parade on Apr 26, 2009 3:32 PM CDT reply actions
He is just drafting big guys
So he can eat the Buffet and not feel out of place when he eats about 8 or 9 plates…

I like that he cuts and takes it up the field

No kidding.
I don’t know how many times i wanted to break my TV after watching Dante Hall dance around for 5 seconds and gain 1 yard.
This is the way the Pats do it
they establish the lines, O and D, first then work on the skill positions. Pioli is building his core.
Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
Should we make nicknames for our newest guys.....
Obviously “Mike” Tyson Jackson
Alex “Big Mac” McGee …sorry Mark…
Donald “Brown” “George” Washington
Colin “Ballin” Brown
Quinten “Martin” Lawrence

Have you heard the voicemail AVP
Left on some chicks answer machine he was trying to hook up with?
Classic.
Side Note
Do you think we will draft a Rb in the 7th? Wasn’t that kid from Liberty a stud? I think Nanz had a post about him
Rashad Jennings?
Yeah he’s supposed to be pretty good. I am wondering about the RB situation…no matter what happens you can be sure we’ll over analyze it :)
by Joel Thorman on Apr 26, 2009 3:48 PM CDT up reply actions
I doubt he makes it to us
But we’d give him a look if he’s there.
i think he
originally was going to play for Pitt, but transfered. Supposed to be pretty good.
We can guarantee
that no matter who the chiefs pick it will be during a commercial…
And I'll be searching the internet for 5 minutes
Trying to find out who he is.

I still think we go ILB with our first 7th rounder.
I vote Worrell Williams.
Then a QB with Mr. Irrelevant.
Who would win in a fist fight
Kiper, Mayock or McShay? In an all out no rules brawl…
Pain is Temporary ~ Pride is Forever!!
I'd go Kiper...
But it’d be close.
It would be great if that happened after the draft.
Kipers Hair will spar off in final with one of there brains

If anybody is looking for a good time
Over at Silver and Black Pride they have posts up about how they think they got the best player at their positions in rounds 1 and 2. Good stuff.
"The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur." - Vince Lombardi
they are pumping themselves up about the saftey.
It’s cracking me up.
"...Said he couldn't go on the American way"
yeah
I know this Raiders fan. He wanted Crabtree or Maclin. They got DHB. He then told me he was the best pick. Then they take Michael Mitchell, who from a youtube video is now considered the best safety in the draft. lol
He may end up being decent.
Well no he won’t. But there’s always that chance.
The fact is they could have picked up with much later picks. There was significant talent on the board at both picks and they left it for people not just out of spot but out of round.
"...Said he couldn't go on the American way"
Was anyone else
impressed by that virtual simulation of Patrick Willis from ESPN. I would love to have that in video game form
Why are they breaking out the tech on day two?
I liked it too

Denver stole Belicheck's long snapper so

Seriously.
It’s like a joke to them.
Eh, we have no use for all of these other picks, so we might as well just draft a long snapper.

If Freeman is a stud in the NFL
I may as well never watch college football again. I just don’t see it. I know he’s got the measurables, but a 1st round pick is insane.
I said the other day I figured he would be riding pine in the CFL in two years
Kinda felt bad when I said it thought…… oh well.
Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
He will probably find his niche in coaching
and probably with Pinkel for next 10 years.

Couple Picks Away
I am putting money on a Place Kicker..No seriously.
Loved the Lawrence highlights
Wow is he fluid. Beautiful crossing routes and greta vision. Sat there and was like “wow”. Elite speed.
What do you know.. another commercial and the chiefs on the clock
Bloomquist. God? Or just an illusion? You be the judge.
The Bengals just took another felon.
at the end of round 6.
by WesternChief on Apr 26, 2009 4:36 PM CDT up reply actions
I bet we go ILB here, then QB at Mr. Irrelevant.
And then pick up a kicker in about 3 hours on the UDFA market.
Sounds about right

RB
"I can only imagine what it is going to be like in that town if we are fortunate to build a winner. You win there, you can sense that it would be something really special." - Todd Haley
What two qualities would be important for a slot WR learning from Engram?
Sells the outside or deep route well and cuts quickly to the inside or comes back to the ball. Catches the ball with his reliable hands, able to go outside his frame.
Marley will be walking soon...she could probably play Linebacker better than some of the guys we had.
Is he big?
Saw he had the 6th fast 40 for RB’s at the combine?
Williams
Hasnt he been rumored that we would take a serious look at him for awhile
wow, I love his size
and I probably spoke too soon about LJ, although I hope we keep him if he shapes up.
"The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur." - Vince Lombardi
Big back. Outstanding blocker.
Fits the scheme, I suppose.
Goes back to what ROC was saying earlier: we need that big back to get the tough yards.

I love this pick.
I was saying earlier I’d be happier with today if we picked up a good OL prospect and a big powerback.
Awesome.
"...Said he couldn't go on the American way"
Out of his nfl.com overview
“Williams turned down scholarship offers from Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Baylor and Houston, among other major universities to enroll at Tennessee State in 2005.” Big school talent in a small scohol RB
"The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur." - Vince Lombardi
I highly doubt he will be a FB
He ran for over 1,000 yards 3 times in college.
"The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur." - Vince Lombardi
Definitely a HB
Looks like he’s had some hamstring problems
I strive to be the person my dog thinks I am.
But
He played at a small school usually means smaller tacklers
I strive to be the person my dog thinks I am.
...
that really doesn’t make a lot of sense. sorry. its still wear and tear. I’m sure he got popped plenty of times in those 4 years. Wasn’t someone saying he got injured too?
Yeah I did
Hamstring issues generally not caused by contact. Any player that plays in college will get popped plenty of times. But smaller players and slower players don’t hit as hard. Simple as physics
I strive to be the person my dog thinks I am.
think Pioli goes QB with Mr Irrelevant?
Chase Patton? If Holtzclaw is still there…go with him. Kid’s got “want to”.
Yeah
The last time we talked to him, he said he would look at the available teams and pick the one that best suits him to make the 53 man roster.

That thinks this kid will as big a piece of the team as we are going to get this draft. Kick return possibilities with speed and, by the scouting report, could be a great 3rd or 4th WR on 3rd and longs.
