Three Things To Know About Chiefs 2011 Draft Pick CB Jalil Brown
The Kansas City Chiefs spent their fourth round pick on Colorado CB Jalil Brown -- also known as the "other" Colorado cornerback behind first rounder CB Jimmy Smith. This is the third consecutive year the Chiefs have drafted a corner after Donald Washington in 2009 and Javier Arenas in 2010.
There are a few things to know about Brown.
First, he's a big corner at 6'0" and 204 pounds. Brown talked to WNST in Baltimore last month and noted his unique size.
"There aren't many corners that over six foot and 200 pounds so that gives me an edge there. A lot of scouts and teams and NFL personnel, they're looking for bigger corners because you get receivers these days that are 6'3" and 220 pounds so you can't always have a small corner pressing them all game long."
The second thing to remember is that it's possible safety is in his future. Who knows what the Chiefs think but he said in that same interview that some teams have talked to him about moving to safety because he does have a little experience there.
Brown said, "There were a few games out there where the receivers came up to me and said, 'What are you doing playing corner? You look like a safety or a linebacker.'"
He's played multiple positions -- big shocker, right? Lots of Chiefs draft picks are in the same boat.
Third, he said he played a lot of man press in college -- "I've been pressing most of my life," he says -- and, with Jimmy Smith basically eliminating half the field, the Chiefs have a lot of tape on him. He went against some top competition in WR A.J. Green last year and WR Dez Bryant the year before.
And to close out the initial look at Brown, here's what ESPN's Todd McShay said shortly after he was selected:
"If you're looking for good tape on Jalil Brown, don't watch the first half against Georgia because AJ Green had a field day. But the vast majority of the rest of his tape is positive. He's a good football player. I think he came of the board exactly where he should in the fourth round.
"He may never be a full time starter but I think he has a chance to be a good nickel cornerback. What I like about him is he's physical, tough and very instinctive. And at 6'0" and 204 pounds, he can get up and press guys at the line. With Javier Arenas last year, I think they continue to add quality to their cornerback position."
The checklist:
-Big cornerback
-Could play cornerback or safety
-Likes to press at the line

And Powe is still falling
Very interesting….
That's because.....
Powe is a 7th round pick according to many sites. I know some fans around here wanted him in the 3rd, but that’s just way to high. That kid has 2 year bust written all over him, it’s just he has the potential with his size to become a good player. Sounds like a 6th/7th round level pick to me.
How can a 6th or 7th round pick be a bust?
I think it is worth a shot in the 6th.
exactly

Righto!
I’m not big on Powe. He has the athleticism of a turtle but if he gets in shape and contributes what a great deal in the 7th. If he sucks a** then who cares he’s barley a draft pick. It’s better value than cam what’s his face the chargers got in the mid round last year.

I like the pick.
CBS has him as #115 rated overall and we got him at #118. He has the size to cover bigger slots and TEs where as Arenas does not. He can play zone as well as press man. And thick enough and stats to show he could play safety. Newer schemes make little distinction between Nickel and Safety. Versatility rules the day.
"You talkin' to me? You TALKIN' to me ?" - Travis Bickle
Not only size, but strength
He did 23 reps at 225 lbs. at the Combine, which is tremendous for a CB.
2011 season we're facing
B. Pettigrew, A. Gates, V. Shiancoe, D. Clark, Z, Miller, A. Hernandez, R. Gronkowski, H. Miller, G. Olsen, D. Keller, and J. Finley
I’ll take any goddamn help at covering and stopping TEs out there.

Prediction: KC will not draft a LB before the 3rd round
by stagdsp on Apr 30, 2011 3:07 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
Sounds OK to me
Nothing great, but we could use solid depth at the position. I’m still waiting for a NT and I’m starting to believe I’ll still be waiting after the draft, so that’s that…
I don’t really care that Green torched him. Any CB you pick in the 4th that went up against the best WR in the draft is gonna be a guy who got torched.
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.
good point
about the possibility of him playing some safety. need help there..
Just like novocaine. give it time; always works..
The greater the fall, the grander the ascention..
a little disappointed my Oline depth is gone
wanted Lee Smith and Julian Vendervelde.

I really like the Jalil Brown pick as well
I am still scratching my head about Gabe Miller. I know he has the intangibles and a motor, but I really thought Studebaker and Scheffield would take the next step this year.
yeah, it makes you wonder...maybe he can help inside lb as well
or hes some special teams ace…which is well worth the pick

Maybe they want to convert him back to TE
Only half-joking, but I am interested to hear Pioli’s explanation later today.
at this point, I honestly don't even know who to hope we get
people want powe, but 32 teams have passed on him almost 6 times now…almost 200 times.
is Tyler Sash still available?
at this point, might as well go BPA
