3. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
TYSON JACKSON, DE, LSU -

CZAR'S FRONT OFFICE TAKE: Tyson Jackson became news last week when word leaked from the Chiefs that they wanted this very versatile defensive end. Being with the Patriots, new GM Scott Pioli was looking for a multi-dimensional defensive player. Jackson has been compared more to Ty Warren than Richard Seymour. He will play end in the Chiefs' new 3-4 alignment and slide inside in the four-man pass rush. However, he better be more like Seymour than Warren. This is the third straight first rounder the Chiefs have spent on a pass rusher or defensive lineman. Pioli was so desperate to get out of this spot and the $35 million in bonus money that he probably will have to eventually pay Jackson that he tried to give the Lions the pick, asking for Detroit's second first-round pick, 20th overall, and their second-round pick, 33rd overall, as compensation even though the Chiefs would be taking a bath on value. Based on the new points chart, the third overall pick was worth 2,200 points and the Lions' compensation was valued at only 1,430 points, well short of what they should have asked for.

SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE:The Chiefs go with Jackson, who curiously wasn't even invited to the NFL Draft. This makes for an awkward moment for the Radio City crowd. Like waiting for Godot to show up in a blinged out Armani suit. No one comes out, and an announcer with some booming, incredible voice scrambles to ask the fans what they want to hear on the loud speakers — "Smells Like Teen Spirit" or some other Seattle grunge era song. Jackson joins his college teammate Glenn Dorsey in Kansas City's Clancy Pendergrast 3-4 defense D-line. Oh, and this just in...Clancy Pendergrast —STILL is the best name in football.
