ESPN: Ranking the AFC West defensive linemen
ESPN's Bill Williamson ranks Tyson Jackson at #9 - almost as high as his draft position! Well, sorta kinda....
1. Richard Seymour, Oakland: He is the class of the division. He is aging, but he is still a brilliant player. 2. Glenn Dorsey, Kansas City: He made great strides in 2010, his third NFL season. He had adjusted well to the 3-4 defense and he is the anchor to a young defense. 3. Tommy Kelly, Oakland: Kelly had his best NFL season in 2010 and he pairs very nicely with Seymour. He is tough when he is motivated. 4. Elvis Dumervil, Denver: Dumervil is back to end in a 4-3 after excelling in a 3-4 defense. He struggles against the run, but he is a force as a pass-rusher. 5. Lamarr Houston, Oakland: I really like this player. The second-year player is a potential star. 6. Antonio Garay, San Diego: Garay had a terrific season in 2010. He is a tremendous nose tackle. 7. Luis Castillo, San Diego: Castillo is a solid player, but I’d like to see more impact plays. 8. Matt Shaughnessy, Oakland: He’s another fine young player for Oakland. He has made the most of his opportunities. 9. Tyson Jackson, Kansas City: Jackson has been just so-so. This is a huge season for the No. 3 overall pick of the 2009 draft. 10. Corey Liuget, San Diego: The No. 18 overall pick of the 2011 draft will start at end and he will get a chance to make an immediate impact. 11. Wallace Gilberry, Kansas City: He’s is an underrated player. He can get sacks in bunches. 12. John Henderson, Oakland: He is aging, but he can still help Oakland as a run stuffer. 13. Robert Ayers, Denver: This is a big season for Ayers, the No. 18 pick in 2009. New coach John Fox likes him, so he’ll get a chance to start. 14. Trevor Scott, Oakland: Scott has a chance to be very good. He has natural pass-rushing ability. 15. Ron Edwards, Kansas City: He’s steady. The Chiefs want more help at tackle, but Edwards is OK. 16. Shaun Smith, Kansas City: The Chiefs need to bring him back. He can make an impact. 17. Marcus Thomas, Denver: Denver wants this free agent back. 18. Allen Bailey, Kansas City: The Chiefs are very excited about this third-round pick. He could play right away. 19. Kevin Vickerson, Denver: Denver re-signed him in March. 20. Vaughn Martin, San Diego: It’s time for this project to make a move. 21. Cam Thomas, San Diego: The Chargers still have high hopes for this second-year player. http://espn.go.com/blog/afcwest/post...ensive-linemen |

As much as I love seeing Dorsey at number 2, Tyson Jackson's insanely high ranking causes this list to lose all of its credibility.

I think Tyson Jackson is a little high, but it's not that far off. They're saying he's so-so and that's about right. I think Jackson 9, Smith 11, Gilberry 16 makes more sense.

KnowMo will have a heart attack when he sees Dumervil below Dorsey.
I'd love to see that. |

I think it's gonna be hilarious when Jackson has a good season and people flip flop worse than John Kerry. I have no room to talk though....at one point I thought Dorsey was taken way too high.

I think Jackson has clear physical limitations that will keep him from the top 5. But he's not nearly as bad as some people want to make him to be.
