I thought it was a little curious that the Chiefs – who are implementing a new 3-4 scheme in 2009 – took Jackson at No. 3 overall. They already had Tamba Hali – who is undersized but a good enough run defender to handle an anchoring role – along with last year’s first-round pick, Glenn Dorsey, who looks like the next Richard Seymour (and that’s something I’ve never said about anyone before). Dorsey could possibly play the nose, but I think his talent is too unique to be muffled by double teams inside.

Still, Chiefs GM Scott Pioli came from New England and understands the importance of building up front. Give him the benefit of the doubt here.
