Chiefs Alex Magee (DT)

Why the hell did we pick two 3-4 DE's. I would have rather had Michael Johnson or Duke Robinson.

Overview
The consummate team player, Magee volunteered to move to defensive end from his familiar defensive tackle position when injuries depleted the depth at that position in 2008. Learning a new position was sort of a baptism under fire for the former right tackle who also had to switch sides, moving over to left end.

While his numbers did not stand out like in previous seasons, he also provided valuable leadership for a young, but inexperienced defensive unit in head coach Joe Tiller's final season. It was Magee's task to serve as the unit's policeman, making sure that everyone was positioned right and knew their assignments. Policing the defense was appropriate for the senior, who hopes to one day work for the Federal Bureau of Investigation or the Drug Enforcement Agency.

At Oswego High School, Magee was rated the 32nd-best defensive tackle in the nation and the 14th-best player in the state of Illinois by Rivals.com. He earned All-Midwest honors from Prep Football Report and was listed among ChicagoSports.com's Top 100 players.

The Class 7A first-team All-State selection recorded 60 tackles, including 11 for loss and eight sacks as a senior, earning Conference Player of the Year honors. An All-State pick his junior season, he also played fullback in short-yardage situations.

Magee saw action in 11 games at Purdue during his freshman year. He posted 18 tackles (10 solos) with a stop behind the line of scrimmage in 2005, earning starting assignment at right defensive tackle vs. Wisconsin and Penn State. He competed in 14 games in 2006, starting half of those contests. He had 2.5 sacks to go with 33 tackles (20 solos), as he recorded his only collegiate interception and blocked a kick.

Magee lined up as the starting right defensive tackle in all 13 games as a junior. He posted a career-high 38 tackles (24 solos) that included 4.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage. He recovered two fumbles, caused another and blocked two kicks.

Shifting to left defensive end in 2008, Magee's statistics were down a bit, but he gained valuable experience as a pass rusher coming off the edge. He produced a career-high 3.5 sacks while making six stops behind the line of scrimmage. He collected 28 tackles (14 solos) while recovering and causing a fumble.

Hmmm? I have no idea what to think about this pick.

Well, D-line was one of the major needs for this team. I mean, 10 sacks last season?

Yeah. Only time will tell though.

I agree with this. We did need to upgrade the line in a big way. If our two picks thus far pan out, we should be in decent shape in that area.

I'm thinking anyone drafted on the DL during the Herm years better be updating their resumes.

Sounds like a character guy with some versatility, which fits what Pioli is trying to build.

Sounds exactly like Turk McBride's draft write-up from two year's ago...

McBride's scouting reports were anything but bad. Nice try.

The problem with McBride is that his scouting reports said he was a 3-technique DEFENSIVE TACKLE and the brain trust at Arrowhead decided to make him a defensive end.

"Alex Magee lowered his 40 yard dash time to an impressive 4.82 seconds at his Pro Day workout. He has been quietly making his case as the second best 3-4 end prospect in the draft behind Tyson Jackson. Magee will likely be selected in the early third round."

Well, the top two at that position doesn't suck

Quick, let's dig in there and find descriptions that identify the rest of our picks. I'm thinking something like:

Quote:

Projects as a solid right guard, particularly if he lines up next to a mediocre right tackle named Damion. Will probably go in the early 4th.

KcFanInGA · 04-26-2009, 08:33 AM

I like it as long as we take either a wideout or tackle at some point today.

Ultra Peanut · 04-26-2009, 08:36 AM

The great thing is that our D-Line can't be any worse, and we seem to have upgraded pretty well.
