:lol: :lol:
Yeah, I wasn't overly enthused or impressed with our one and only pick today either, but then again I'm no expert. I think that not taking either Curry or Crabtree in the first round is a mistake. JMHO

All you're doing is going with the hype, it's a joke. People said the same thing about Dorsey, we all know how that turned out. Just admit that you have NO clue who's the "best player in the draft" and I know that Curry is a Derrick Johnson clone, and that's not a good thing. Drafting him would've been a BUST in the making.
I'll admit your a joke! How can you say Jackson was the right pick? Not even the best available at his position! I guess next you will tell us all you had Jackson slated at a top 5 pick right? Wake up dude! I'm not even saying Curry is the best player in the draft but at least he was the best at his position.
I clarified that in my post.
Never said you didn't watch any college football. But are you explicitlly stating you've watched Aaron Curry/Wake Forest in every game and followed him game in and game out this season?
I doubt it.
Watching Youtube highlight reels and listening to Mel Kiper/Todd McShay/Mike Mayock and other 'expert' figure heads spout off his hardly what I quantify as in depth analysis from a fans perspective.
But I can, in no way, prove this so maybe you are the biggest Demon Deacons fan in the world but I don't buy it.
Once again that is arguable. Your failed to even read my post in its entirety. He may have been the 3rd or 4th best avalible DE from a production standpoint in college in a base line 4-3 at LSU but his projected pro grade had him as the 'best' 3-4 DE in the draft.
The best. That means number 1.
The Chiefs are moving to the 3-4 and for the scheme to work they needed bigger more physical lineman then we already have to make it work. I know you know this, I'm just restating the obvious.
The 3-4 revolves around the strength of the defensive line to allow the LBs to make plays.
No line = no good. It doesnt matter if you have the best prospect in the draft.
Once again, hype doesn't disuade the facts.
I'll post something interesting for you to 'ponder'
Aaron Curry's College stats:
IN 49 college games he recorded:
332 Total Tackles
45.5 Tackles for loss
6 Sacks
6 INTs
Derrick Johnson's College Stats:
In 50 college games he recorded:
458 Total tackles
69 Tackles for loss
10.5 Sacks
9 INT's
Played the same position as Curry. Best LB avalible isn't worth number 3 money considering a player of superior talent went at 15.
Now this is just inane. You believe you have some innate ability to predict busts? I don't know about you but I had the same feeling about Croyle as well; a glass canon QB out of Alabama in the 3rd round who had trouble staying healthy. Does that make me think I have some clairvoyant ability to see the future of potential NFL prospects?
No, because thats what everyone with two eyes and a modicum of sense could see in him outside of Herm.
And look where that got us.
You're tirade at the end just proves you were so caught up in the media love affair that was Aaron Curry that you ignored everything else that was possible and now that the Chiefs passed on an over hyped 4-3 LB you're all bent out of shape.
After looking at some videos of Jackson, it looks like he's gonna be pretty good at stopping the run, which is the job of a DE in a 3-4 scheme.
Your an absolute comic!!! I own a sports bar and watched damn near every Wake Forest game with J.T Doxon's father. T.E for Wake. Not the biggest fan by any stretch just happen to watch a lot of games.
Can't compare DJ to Curry. DJ had a ton of help his last season at Texas. Curry was doing a lot on his own!
For you to say Brian Cushing has the same talent as Curry is a complete joke!!
As for predicting busts, no I don't claim to do that at all I just was soooooo against the Croyle pick. Obviously you weren't reading the posts on this site too much during last season because there were several here in love with Croyle!
Still my question is how can you agree with this pick when he wasn't even the best player (by most here and everywhere else) at his own position?

3. Kansas City Chiefs - Tyson Jackson, DE, LSU
The Chiefs pick up the best 3-4 defensive end on the board with their selection of Jackson. Though the pick was a bit of a surprise, Jackson gives the team a stout player on the edge capable of occupying multiple blockers at the point of attack.
From USA Today
3. KANSAS CITH CHIEFS: Tyson Jackson, DE, LSU
Pro analysis: The Chiefs confirm the buzz in recent days by taking Jackson with the third pick. A five-technique DE (Jackson is essentially a 3-4 end), he will anchor a K.C. defense that is transitioning to the new scheme. Jackson has been compared to New England's Richard Seymour, so it's not a shock that new K.C. GM (and former Patriots architect) Scott Pioli would want him. It is a surprise that Jackson was taken with the third overall pick as he's not likely to stuff the stat sheet or excite the fan base (think fellow former LSU DE Marcus Spears, a similar player who has played in relative anonymity in Dallas' 3-4 for years). The selection of Jackson is a pretty good indicator that the Chiefs could not find takers for their No. 3 pick.
