Kansas City ChiefsRecord: 7-9
Devon Still, DT, Penn St.

Romeo Crennel could use a disruptive interior line presence in his system, and Still can be a penetrator in the 3-4, capable of occupying blockers and making plays in against the run while also splitting gaps against the pass. He came on in 2011 at Penn State and should help this defense up front, as the Chiefs also get Eric Berry back in the secondary in 2012. With this kind of reinforcement, the Chiefs have a chance to become an upper-echelon defense going forward, something they showed glimpses of this past season.

good player, but not a position of need, IMHO

Taking him that high.

Does he replace Dorsey or Jackson?

If we drafted Still we would probably move Dorsey to NT. Our defense is really on the brink of greatest if we retain Carr, Houston continues to get better, and we get someone who can knock the QB on their ass at RDE. So there is logic to the pick, but could Bailey be that guy for us? I think he can, plus do we really want a rookie starter on the defensive line? I think Still is going to be great, his cousin Art Still was a very good player for us, but we have to fix the offense or we are screwed.

I don't see Dorsey moving to NT at all

he’d have to be traded for this pick to make sense, IMHO

the NT is a limited role, given the amount of time this team spends in Nickel formations.
Powe can possibly be that guy, or Romeo can go with another journeyman (Gordon, or maybe Shaun Rogers)
