Taking a Look at Sedrick Ellis

Sedrick Ellis, a defensive tackle from USC, is one of the newer players on the Kansas City Chiefs radar screen this week. Check out a few clips of Ellis, who looks fast and athletic as hell. But then again, who doesn't in these highlight clips?

Nick Athan of Scout.com recently chose Ellis with the Chiefs first rounder in his mock draft.

He's not as big as LSUs Glenn Dorsey but splits the center and guard better than any interior defensive lineman in the last several years. His size is a concern, but he's not going to be the next Ryan Sims. Ellis came to the Senior Bowl knowing he was a top seven draft pick no matter what. He's a winner, and if the Chiefs pick him and can get Tank Tyler to play at a high level, the defensive line will be outstanding. Ellis was the most impressive defender at the Senior Bowl and someone who has a motor similar to Jared Allen’s.
If the Chiefs get Ellis, that 26th ranked rushing defense jumps up a whole bunch of spots. If Jake Long isn't there, like DJ said, the Chiefs should take a long look at Sedrick Ellis or trade out of there.

I think
we should take a long look at him even if Jake Long IS still there when our turn comes up...

I wonder
about Al Davis.  He has hated the Chiefs organization for so long, and with any and all hype we might give a potential draft pick, it wouldn't surprise me if he would usurp (steal) our pick just to spite us?  He is the type that would do this even if he didn't have a need for a player at that position.

And he has lost Sapp recently to the retirement home. (still not sure I believe that...aka Strahan)

I think
for the most part we are being pretty sneaky (we, as in Herm, Carl, and Kuharich - I doubt Al Davis is reading our blogs).  Herm is a clever drafter who won't be outsmarted by Al Davis.  What are the Raiders fans proposing for their picks?

Speaking of the Raiders
One of my great friends from my undergraduate days is a Raiders fan.  He called me all excited and talking trash after, and I'm not making this up, the Raiders signed Aaron Brooks.

Ha
Brooks was like six or seven years in the league already. And he sucked.

And the Raiders took him
after he was no good with the Saints.

Mr Deion Sanders fan
What do you think about the new reality TV show -- Deion & Pilar: Prime Time Love?

Sedrick....
I had us taking Ellis in my first  mock of the draft season. If Long is not around we have to get a pro-bowl type player...
