Chiefs OLB Justin Houston Georgia

Branden Albert's Huge Balls · 04-29-2011, 07:00 PM

Height: 6-2 7/8
Weight: 270
Speed: 4.64
Arm: 34 1/2
Hand: 9 5/8
Wingspan: 81 5/8
Birthdate: 01/21/1989
Hometown: Statesboro, GA
Grade: 5.90

Notes: Also lettered in basketball as a Georgia prep. Redshirted in 2007. Saw action in 13 games (one start) in ’08 and produced 19 tackles, 4½ tackles for loss and 2½ sacks with two pass breakups. Started 10 games at outside linebacker in ’09 and recorded 39-15-7½ with one pass breakup and one forced fumble. Missed the first two games of the season after being suspended for violating team rules. Did not play against Tennessee Tech because of a hyperextended elbow. Was a finalist for the Butkus and Nagurski awards in ’10 after starting all 13 games at rush linebacker in the Bulldogs’ 3-4 scheme and producing 67-18½-10 with two breakups, one interception and a forced fumble.

Positives: Big, strong and powerful — has an NFL build with a thick lower body and very long arms. Heavy hands to rip off blocks or walk tackles into the backfield. Good burst off the edge — displays bend, balance and leverage to run the arc. Excellent body control, lateral agility and change of direction. Strong wrap tackler. Has rushed from two- and three-point stances. Bulked up for the Combine and tested off the charts, including a 36½-inch vertical leap and broad jump of 10 feet, 5 inches.

Negatives: Tight-hipped and straight-linish. Needs more glass in his diet — inconsistent physicality against the run and is too easily washed. Needs to develop more counter moves — relies on tug-and-rip. Too easily outathleted to the corner against Georgia Tech’s option attack — does not show a second gear to recover from mistakes. Limited in man coverage. Average instincts and intensity. Motor runs hot and cold — does not consistently play hard. Too much finesse and not enough urgency. Has underachiever traits and character needs to be looked into.

Summary: Strong, explosive, tightly wound, power-leverage rusher with first-round talent and disruptive ability, but tests better than he plays and has bust potential given his inconsistent effort and character questions. At his best standing up with his ears pinned back and will draw the interest of 3-4 teams such as the Jets, Patriots, Packers and Steelers.

NFL projection: Second- to third-round pick.

I wanted this guy at 21....and we get a WR to boot.

Best draft EVER.

TrickyNicky · 04-29-2011, 07:04 PM

3rd down. Hali Gilberry and Houston. **** yo QB.

Branden Albert's Huge Balls · 04-29-2011, 07:06 PM

Hali Gilberry and Houston, oh my!

It will also help Dorsey not attract so much attention.

Great pick in the 3rd round.

Heard he failed a drug test, but has pass rush ability. Sounds like a good guy to sub in on long downs, while using Studebaker in regular sets. Also seems like he could be a good player in hybrid defenses.

It seems like Pioli isn't as concerned with instilling a team culture this season.

Can't watch right now.

Did we really just draft Houston?

This is another killer draft so far. We are going to dominate the AFCW for the next decade.

Listening to Houston talk, he's saying the exact same things that Baldwin said yesterday. Everything for the team.

Our PR guys train them quickly.

BossChief · 04-29-2011, 07:13 PM

If we keep drafting like we have in three of the last four drafts, we are gonna win championshipS

Well, he may hold the belief that he established that culture through the draft and free agency over the last two years, and that this foundation will have a ripple effect to this year's selections.

Houston saying all the right things about his "mistake".

Brock · 04-29-2011, 07:15 PM

Needs more glass in his diet

Literally the first time I've read that anywhere.
