Alex Magee, DT, third round, Purdue: The stout Magee may get a chance to start as the nose tackle in the Chiefs' new 3-4 scheme. The team believes he is ready to contribute. Don't expect spectacular numbers, but Magee has a chance to be nice anchor on the Chiefs' line.
Quinten Lawrence, WR, sixth round, McNeese State: Lawrence is a project, but he has elite speed and he could get a chance to be the Chiefs' returner right away.

McGee is playing end not tackle
dammit Williamson, get yer s*** straight.
*Magee, sorry
the only reason I bring this up is because he isn’t quite big enough to play at nose tackle. Most nose tackles in the scheme we’re playing are over 300 pounds and a few inches taller than Magee. He’ll be competing with Dorsey for that second DE spot and might be moved to tackle when we go to the 4-3 looks.
I'm actually looking forward to see how this draft class pans out.
There’s no question in my mind that Jackson will be a stud but the rest of this draft looks really good to me. Magee is versatile and can play any position across the DLine and so say he was the #2 3-4 DLineman in the draft behind Jackson. Washington I think will prove over time to be the steal of this draft. I’m not sure what was holding him back at Ohio but this guy has the physical tools to be an incredible player.
"Success is never ending, failure is never final."
yeah....
I think he’d want to be sure he knows what position these guys play, before proclaiming them possible starters!
Magee will get playing time with Dorsey… but he’s not a NT.
The 2nd day of the Chiefs 2009 draft class has a lot of potential, but nothing for sure.
I guess that can be said of any draft class… but I think it’s more pronounced in this one.
Washington has amazing athletic ability,
Brown is huge, and capable of taking over at RT someday,
Williams could be a diamond in the rough at RB, could take over for LJ
Lawrence could be a bust or the KR/WR of the future
Succup could be the starting kicker, or irrelevant
O’Connell is supposed to be super athletic as well…
So, I guess the idea on day 2 is to draft tremendous athletes and try to turn some of them into players. I think we’d all agree that if half of them work out, it was a good draft
I'm 100% sold that Succop will be our kicker.
I’ve watched this guy for the last three years and with a little NFL training I think he’ll be a heck of a kicker. The biggest thing I noticed with him in college is when it counted, in the high pressure situations, he made the kicks.
"Success is never ending, failure is never final."
Potential
I absolutely love the potential Quinten Lawrence has. I think he has the most potential of our second day picks. He’s got the ability to be KR/WR we need and haven’t had since Dante Hall. (Not saying he will be as good as Hall was in his prime, although I’m not saying he can’t) I’m most excited to see how Lawrence works out. Hoping we got a sleeper out of the daft in Lawrence
"Larry Fitzgerald, move over because there's another young gun, and his name is Dwayne Bowe from Kansas City" - 2009 Cris Carter Hall of Fame WR
In Pioli We Trust! Right?
I like him
More at KR/PR. He needs to work on his hands and i don’t think they are good enough to become a WR for us. I agree with KC Nate though, he does have alot of potential.
Magee
Now that we bring it up… Magee was the one draft pick I questioned more than any other.
I understand the concept of building the front lines…
I tolerated (but didnt’ love) the Jackson pick in the First round…
BUT, could they have filled another hole on the team (WR or RT) instead of drafting DEPTH with that #3 pick?
Especially considering they werent’ able to trade back into the 2nd or lower 1st round, I would have personally thought it crucial to fill a STARTING position with that 3rd round pick.
But, I do believe Magee will be a good player, and a DL rotation is important… I just would have gone another route.
I think they picked
Magee because hes versatile. Dorsey is pretty small to be an end in a 3-4, so i think they were just doing that so they could, maybe, have a starter for that spot and Dorsey for 4-3 situations. I don’t think he was the biggest question for me..mine was more of Washington at CB.
Dorsey is not too small
The Cardinals have Bertrand Berry playing the exact same spot as Dorsey. Dorsey is not too small.
When your D-line gets tired, you start losing the game...
and since we moved Hali and McBride (and Johnston at the time) out of the D-line rotation, we absolutely needed to build that depth in the d-line.
Marley will be walking soon...she could probably play Linebacker better than some of the guys we had.
+1
Part of the reason teams like the Eagles and Giants are so successful is the deep D-lines they have.
TRUE... BUT...
Couldn’t depth have come later in the draft or FA?
Just for the sake of argument, say they took
WR/KR Derrick Williams from Penn State or WR Patrick Turner from USC or WR Mike Wallace from Ol Miss
OR
C/G Antoinne Caldwell from Alabama, T Robert Brewster from Ball State or Louis Vasquez from Texas Tech
THEN, with the 5th Round pick used on Colin Brown…
get a guy like ILB Jasper Brinkley
OR with the 4th rd pick, DT Sammie Lee Hill or DE Kyle Moore
Anyway, i know the draft is long over, just my humble opinion
+1000
I would have seriously taken a look at a tackle with that pick…Who knows, maybe one of our young backups is being groomed to take that spot.
IMO the Chiefs season is going to hinge on the play of the O-line this year. I feel pretty good about the defense at this point but, I would really like to see an electrifying offense this year. I would especially like to see a great running game like the old days.
McIntosh
I have high hopes that McIntosh will have an excellent year. I know the right side was awful last year.
Reasons that I’m hopeful (not trying to make excuses for last year):
1. I think it’s harder to switch sides after a lifetime than we realize. Haven’t done it. Don’t really know. But I would think the footwork and even arm movements would be very unnatural at first. After briefly pouting last year, I think he gave it an effort and can actually get it done this year at RT. Thought he did a decent job when he first played LT upon his arrival at the Cheifs.
2. Hopefully he’ll have fewer dings and be healthier than last year.
3. Play of the right guard will hopefully be much better this year. Not saying Mac would have been perfect, but I believe the epicenter of O-Line problems last year was right guard.
I think Brown’s a year away. Unless you are top tier, like Albert, I think line players take a year or two to get ready.
Plus
it was mentioned(I think on a gretz story from OTA’s) that he lost a decent amout of wieght, so thats a good thing as well!
Great players dont win championships.....Great TEAMS win championships
Not this year.
I want to see Richardson step up and take that spot.
Viva 65tosspowertrap! The master of incoherent, nonsensical ramblings.
I haven't seen enough of Brown to know but...
Herb taylor did a GREAT job last year on the other side and Richardson is just a beast of a human being. I definitely think it’s possible that we could have someone besides Mcintosh starting this year.
If Mcintosh does become the starter, I will have to feel as though he earned it in camp because, I don’t think the new regime will just start him because of his contract. I will also say that I thought he started getting used to the right side toward the end of the year last season and played much better. With the addition of Goff at RG, his job will become much, much easier.
I like Herb, too
And hope we have him around as an all-purpose backup for a while.
Will be interesting to see the new regime’s assessment of Richardson.
Im not a fan
of Herb, so i dont really care if he goes. Hopefully its a close one between the RT’s. If mcintosh gets it by pretty much default , i think we will be in for a longggg year….
It is promising though
That Mcintosh has a real RG playing next to him and he’s dropped a lot of weight and is in better game shape. Not to mention it’s year two for him at his new spot.
"Success is never ending, failure is never final."
agree
If Mcintosh does become the starter, I will have to feel as though he earned it in camp
IF he wins the job… good for him.
IF Richardson or Brown step up and beat him out… even better.
As long as the line is better than last season, I’m happy
Williamson is a waste of time when it comes to the Chiefs. Mageee isn’t even being looked at as a NT. He’s gonna play DE, and then slip inside in some passing situations, same as Jackson, same as Dorsey.
exactly
I think ESPN as a whole is a waste of time for Chiefs news.
I saw the “insider” rumor about Brown challenging both saftey spots…
it’s just a recap of the KC star article.
So… bottom line… if you want Chiefs news, check the star and the “mothership” OR
even better, get it all in one place by coming to AP!
