Why is Allen there?

Gravedigger 04-28-2012 03:43 PM

Just take Burfict and get it done. Costs you a seventh, not gonna be a huge loss, we need an ILB, just get it done.

CaliforniaChief 04-28-2012 03:43 PM

Burfict might as well just book his Southwest Flight to Oakland now.

Strongside 04-28-2012 03:43 PM

Almost there Chiefs. Let's hop on the Burfict bus and ride it all the way to Crazy Town.

Titty Meat 04-28-2012 03:44 PM

Could you imagine the Chiefs with a top 10 defense Burfict pumping up the crowd with Kid Rock blaring through the speakers at Arrowhead?

We have to wait 4 games to knock Manning out for the season right?

You guys. :facepalm:

Get ready for guys you've never heard of...guys that their college coaches hadn't even heard of...

Hoping for:

Leonard Johnson
David Molk
Dennard

I'm telling you. My favorite part of ASU games was watching that dude interact with the crowd both on the field and the sidelines. He is out of position a lot and isn't smart....but the dude is a ****ing manimal on the football field. James Harrison gets a shitload of stupid personal fouls and fines too, but I'm pretty sure the Steelers wouldn't trade his physical play for a guy like Jovan Belcher.

O.city 04-28-2012 03:47 PM

Dennard and Burfict in the 7th?

Strongside 04-28-2012 03:48 PM

And no, Burfict is NOT Harrison. But he's good. With my training he could be the best.

CaliforniaChief 04-28-2012 03:48 PM

Hey, if Burfict can decapitate Manning and get suspended, wouldn't that still be worth it??

cabletech94 04-28-2012 03:48 PM

here we go !

blazzin311 04-28-2012 03:48 PM

Round 7, I'd like to see KC take one of the following......still some pretty good players left.

Alfonzo Dennard - CB Nebraska
Chase Minnifield - CB Virginia
Cam Johnson - DE/OLB Virginia
David Molk - C Michigan
William Vlachos - C Alabama
Matt Reynolds - OT BYU
Kellen Moore - QB Boise St.
Chandler Harnish - QB N. Illinois
Loni Fangupo - DT BYU
Nick Jean-baptiste - DT Baylor
Desmond Wynn - OG Rutgers
Travis Lewis - OLB Oklahoma
Antonio Allen - S S.Carolina

Burfict will go to Denver and torment us for years.

Yup. Someone I have no idea.

Direckshun 04-28-2012 03:53 PM

He's a DE in our system.

6-5 / 285

Practice squad, most likely.

Returning starter, who will need to step up and take a leadership role on an otherwise inexperienced defensive line ... Made huge improvements a year ago ... Has played in all but one contest the last three years as both a reserve and starter ... Pressed into extensive duty as a true freshman in 2008.

2010: Starter in 10 of 13 outings, including the last seven contests ... Midseason and postseason all-MWC third team by Phil Steele Magazine ... Career-high six tackles for loss and had 30 stops overall ... Started his first game since his freshman campaign, doing so at defensive tackle against Nicholls ... Had two stops, including one behind the line of scrimmage, in the win vs. the Colonels ... Tied for team lead with eight tackles at NMSU, highlighted by a sack for a seven-yard loss ... Two stops and a half TFL at No. 25 Missouri ... Two tackles for loss as a reserve in the win over Utah State ... Made a stop behind the line of scrimmage in the first four contests of 2010 ... Two tackles vs. BYU and Air Force ... Starter at New Mexico and Wyoming ... Had a tackle in 20 straight games, a streak that was stopped against Colorado State ... Blocked his first career field goal attempt against CSU ... Recovered his first career fumble in the end zone and added an assisted tackle at TCU ... Had four tackles against UNLV, including 1.5 for a loss and a half sack ... Made two stops vs. Navy.

Stock keeps rising for SDSU lineman

Jerome Long at SDSU
•2008: 37 tackles, one sack
•2009: 23 tackles, 1.5 sacks
•2010: 30 tackles, 1.5 sacks
•2011: 69 tackles, five sacks
•Career high: 13 tackles vs. TCU on Oct. 8

NEW ORLEANS — Jerome Long is pretty good at math.

It’s why he’s scheduled to graduate with a math degree next spring at San Diego State. It’s also why he wants to be a math teacher when he’s done playing football.

“It’s just easy for me to understand,” said Long, SDSU’s senior nose guard.

That’s the appeal: There’s no gray area. The answers to math problems are clear and fair, unlike other things in life.

Consider his upbringing. He grew up without a father, a person he never knew. His mom Julie raised him and his older sister, often moving around for work and support. By the time he reached eighth grade, he had lived in Riverside, Valencia, Alaska and Morro Bay.

Long called it “hard times.” But now it’s finally having a payoff – for him and the team he helped carry to just its fifth bowl appearance since 1969. Long will play his last college game Saturday in the New Orleans Bowl against Louisiana-Lafayette. After that, he is expected to play pro football – an opportunity that seemed unlikely even just a few months ago, let alone four years ago as a senior at Morro Bay High.

Back then, he only received one other scholarship offer to play college football – from Cal Poly. Now he’s 35 pounds bigger (285) and has twice as many tackles as last year (69). In July, he’s even getting married to a former athlete who pushes him to improve every day.

“She loves to compete,” Long said.

So does he.

“I’ve been told his NFL stock has gone up dramatically because of the way he’s played this year,” SDSU head coach Rocky Long said.

It’s sort of the story of his life: His stock keeps going up, in large part because of how he developed.

His roots go back to birthplace in Riverside, one of many cities he lived in but barely remembers. Moving around a lot in his youth forced him to be more adaptable to change and making friends.

Football seemed easy in comparison. And math seemed so much more uncomplicated.

“We didn’t have a lot of money,” Long said. “My mom was incredible. Especially in high school, I ate like a horse. Just that alone is pretty incredible how she managed to raise me and my sister.”

Growing up without a father, he instead found father figures to fill the void, including uncles and coaches. He became extremely coachable. He learned to listen -- – a quality that helps explain how he keeps improving in football despite having never played football before high school.

Add some extra playing time this year, and this is the result:

Jerome Long, a soft-spoken former heavyweight wrestler in high school, this year grew a beard, got engaged and peaked with plays such as this:

The game was at Army on Sept. 10. SDSU had a 23-20 lead, but the Black Knights were threatening to score and win. With less than 90 seconds left, Army faced third down-and-19 from the SDSU 34-yard line. The Army quarterback took the snap, drifted back and – bam, down he went. Jerome Long had burst through the line, sacking him for a loss of six yards to help seal the victory.

No other player at SDSU has made more solo tackles this year (47). Only senior linebacker Miles Burris has more tackles overall (72 to Long’s 69).

“On the field, he’s definitely got a motor,” Burris said. “Off the field, he’s a really nice guy, fun to be around and very involved in church.”

In one sense, Jerome Long’s production this year isn’t surprising. When a player’s playing time doubles from last year to this year, so should his number of big plays.

But in another sense, his breakthrough year caught even his coach off guard. In October, Rocky Long said Jerome might not be big enough to play the defensive line in the NFL at 6-foot-5, 285 pounds. Then he kept making so many plays that NFL scouts diverted some of their attention from quarterback Ryan Lindley and running back Ronnie Hillman.

Jerome is likely to get a chance with an NFL team next April, especially if he can add some more weight. After that, he’s getting married to former SDSU rower Kalynn Craig. The two were engaged last February, on Super Bowl Sunday, when Jerome got up in front of the congregation at All Peoples Church. He proposed. She said yes. The crowd cheered.

Now even that is helping him improve.

“She pushes him in everything he does,” SDSU senior defensive end Larry Gibbs said.

Rocky Long said Jerome has “improved dramatically” – a fact that perhaps shouldn’t be too surprising considering his background and makeup.

After so many previous challenges, it’s all finally adding up quite nicely.

2012 NFL Draft
Dennard is projected to be a second to fourth-round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft.[3][4] He was at one point considered one of the top cornerbacks of the draft, but has encountered a series of setbacks since, which has caused his draft projection to fall. In his final game as a Cornhusker Dennard was ejected for fighting with South Carolina receiver Alshon Jeffery.[5] He then experienced a lackluster Senior Bowl performance later that month.[3] On April 21, he allegedly punched a police officer outside a bar in Lincoln, Nebraska, and faces charges of third-degree felony assault.[6]

I hate it when we waste a pick on a guy that we could have brought in as a FA. Take some ****ing chances on guys who've slipped in the 7th.

CaliforniaChief 04-28-2012 04:01 PM

Every year there are guys who get mocked to certain rounds and all the fans go crazy over them and wonder why they aren't picked. Except that we aren't the only ones who are passing on these players. There's a common thinking among 31 of the 32 teams, and now even the Raiders are becoming normal.

chiefscafan 04-28-2012 04:02 PM

So kellen Moore or burfict? You guys wouldn't take a chance?

Burfict. Moore, no. I at least feel like Burfict has a chance to be successful...Moore will be a career backup.

RealSNR 04-28-2012 04:04 PM

Seriously, people. We're not drafting Burfict. Just shut the **** up

Aaaaaaaand the ****ing Patriots just got a starting CB in the 7th. THATS how you use your 7th round picks.

Strongside 04-28-2012 04:09 PM

I think Pioli is throwing darts at the big board and wherever it hits is who we pick.
