Sure Mecca likes his college team (we all do), but I think he's stated his reason for such a few times. I'm summarizing (correct me if I'm wrong Mecca), but it's simply a matter of value and historical data that suggests a OLB at 3 who isn't an ELITE pass rusher (particularly if we're going 3-4) isn't worth it at 3. 10-15 range, sure. But not 3.
There haven't been very many (..maybe 2 or 3?) taken in the top 5 who have gone on to legitimate production.
gonna be fun to see what the Chiefs do; I love the draft season.
