Dion Gales agrees.

You don't know what you're talking about. How many opposing coaches praised Hali and said they had to gameplan against him? (Read: gameplan to run right at his ass)

So, is this thread going to turn from discussing draft prospects to bagging on current Chiefs' players, like every other thread?

Well how about people don't slant it that way then?

It's not bagging on players it's evaluating talent and the truth is Hali isn't an every down player. This team really needs new LB's but shouldn't spend a 1st round pick on an average LB like Mcclain.

I like Von Miller but would take Graham ahead of him if he is there. The good thing is... it's extremely deep this year at OLB... Hughes, Kindle, Norwood, Graham, Von Miller... ONE of them will be there for sure.

Right now I'd say Jerry Hughes is overrated while Ricky Sapp is being underrated since he seems to be lucky to get mentioned.

I personally like Hughes, but you never know how DE's will make the transition to 3-4 OLB so I'd say Norwood is the best 3-4 OLB since he already plays the position.

I like Miller also....Kindle scares me though. I wouldn't mind grabbing any of these guys in the 2nd.

Hey now you've liked every player from the state of Texas in this draft. I see a pattern here ;)

I certainly disagree with your claim that McClain is an "average" LB, and if Berry is off the board, he is certainly one of the players worth looking at with our pick.

woah there... McClain may not deserve to be a top 10 pick... but DO NOT pretend to think he is AVERAGE... he will go in the first round and rightly so.

McClain is a good player but he's not a game changer in the middle and I'm not sure he'll even be as good as a guy like Bart Scott. To me thats average not bad but not great.

So Curry was Below-Average then right? Or do you just not know what a good LB is?

That's about philosophy and belief, some people and NFL teams would never use a 1st round pick on a LB because numerous lowly drafted ones become productive players.

Aaron Curry is not a good example as he's not the best LB from his class and was pretty average all year.
