That seems a far cry from Chiefs' last few top 5 picks, Eric Berry, Tyson Jackson and Glenn Dorsey, only one of whom has a real chance to be an impact player at this stage. We can argue maybe Dorsey would've been better served in the 4-3 as a DT, but lord knows that's a stupid discussion at this point.

The only argument of any kind I'm making is that Jackson's pick last year, should he not develop into anything more than he's shown so far, doesn't have to doom the franchise into oblivion. |

But it does set the franchise back at least two years, which was my original point. If Tyson Jackson was Richard Seymour Part Two, then teams would be double teaming him consistently, which would give the linebackers and Dorsey a much better chance to limit yardage on the ground and through the air. In absence of those double teams, most teams can run and throw at will against the Chiefs defense. |

The problem isn't that Jackson isn't Seymour; everyone knew this long before the kid was drafted.
The problem is that Pioli stubbornly and/or foolishly selected him anyway. Why two years, though, Dane? As opposed to one or even three? Seems like a random (albeit reasonable) number. |

As for the DL overall in Tampa, I thought they did a nice job. They were a factor. Also unusual.

If he doesn't improve during the 2010 season, I don't know how Pioli & Co. can sit on their hands and not make a move. That, however, doesn't guarantee they'll make a move. |

The #3 overall player should pretty much be a finished product, ready to make an immediate impact, unless we're talking QB. |

I think where D linemen are concerned, you'll find they're not generally finished products. Regardless thier draft position. Especially 3-4 linemen.

Tyson Jackson ever living up to his draft position is a lost cause, it probably was from the beginning. I'm just hoping he can be a decent starter at this point.

Richard Seymour and Vince Wilfork both started for defenses that lead the way to the Lombardi in their rookie year.
It can be done. |
