That's fantasy. No way Gabe Jackson, the year after 2 guards were selected in the top 10 falls to KC.

Pretty impressive what he does to the defensive lines of both Alabama and LSU, isn't it?
He was my fav this year, so I made it a point to watch him a lot and I can't remember a recent college lineman that was so dominating in terms of his power and ability to just stonewall dudes.
Reid loves him some power guys and the Chiefs have struggled in terms of Red Zone run blocking (though Schwartz helped when he was inserted into the lineup).
There isn't a better lineman in the draft that's better for a power scheme than Gabe Jackson. His main criticism by the draftniks is that he hasn't shown the high level athleticism, but if you watch him, he gets to the second level just fine. It's really that he's just so ****ing huge and strong and can simply destroy one or more guys right at the point of attack that he doesn't need to get out and pull/stunt all the time. He's not fat at all, and has a huge, huge base.
He's a big, big man.
