If the Chiefs trade down they very well could be looking at BJ Raji. A DT that can play NT and DT in a hybrid type defense could be very valuable.

I think BJ Raji will be the best defensive pick in the draft.

Ian Campbell/DE-LB/Kansas State: Campbell, who did not run or lift at the combine, turned in a poor workout Thursday. He ran in the low 4.9's in the 40 and looked weak on the bench press. The 265-pound Campbell possesses neither the speed to play linebacker nor the strength to hold up at defensive end.
thats great. I'd get some bad looks back in my hometown, this is a dude that I've known all my life, grew up in the same town. It's a great story what he did at K-State, but maybe this will finally shut up some of the people that are going on and on about this guy going to the NFL even after I've told them he doesn't have the ability to make it on the highest level. |

The assessment of Raji certainly changes alot.
I'm not sure drafting a 2-gap NT at #3 makes sense anyway. Taking one with a 2nd-round pick seems to be a better idea. Of course, we don't have one right now. |

Maybe KC will stay with the 4-3 and draft Raji to go along with Dorsey....

You might look at Chris Baker.

So you're saying KC shouldn't take Raji regardless of which D they decide to run because of the cap? You want Ron Edwards at the NT or next to Dorsey? Having a dominant D line with two #1 picks is a great way to build a team IMO. KC has the QB and the RB already so why not take Raji and pay the $$. KC still has cap room for a stud WR and/or DE. The O line can be filled out in the 3rd and 4th rounds. |

I just wish we still had a pick at the top of the 2nd round.
Jamal Williams was a 2nd-rounder (albeit in the Supplemental draft). Casey Hampton was #19 overall and Wilfork was #21 overall. It seems like late 1st/early 2nd is the prime place to get a NT. |

Raji and Dorsey in the 4-3 allows Hali to still have a career in in KC. What do you do with him in a 3-4? If KC stays with the 4-3 they can use Hali on the weak side and draft a DE with size or trade for a guy and suddenly KC has a nice DL on paper. Combine that with DJ, Vrabel and ?? on the outside along with a decent Defensive backfield that already exists and suddenly the D doesn't look too bad. |
