You also don't know how well Barwin is going to play DE in the NFL. I'm sorry, but one year doesn't show me he can have a successful NFL career.

Matt Jones had 4.3 speed going for him on a 6'6 frame. Where else was he going to play?

306 according to kcchiefs.com.

I hope you're right. He's strong enough to man the nose; it's size that I'm concerned about.

Also the fact that he was the starting DT on one of the worst run defenses in the league. You want your NT to be a block of immovable granite. I don't know if Tank is that guy.

My guess is some people still think Carl Peterson is running the team,that would be a Carl type of move...

The samething was said about Brandon Albert, but he turned out okay also.

Connor Barwin will at the very worst be a good special teams player but mid first round for that guy is insane.

He was overweight his rookie year...I know he dropped a bunch. I'd say he was probably 315-320 last year.

Try telling TW that.

I love when people say DT's are overweight when it's their job to be big fat guys.

i dont trust pft at all but its on the kcstar website so it must be true

I'm not worried about Tank's size. He's strong enough, and that's a lot more important. Kelly Gregg's a good example of a nose tackle who played the position well at a pretty small size for a nose tackle. I'm more worried about his endurance. The nose tackle position is going to beat the shit out of him, and I know durability was a concern coming out of college.

because I think he's too short to play DE. I think he belongs at the nose, but the Chiefs most definitely need somebody else to be more of a full-time guy.

He definitely looked slimmer last year.

Well he AND Dorsey were overweight for a Cover 2 as rookies.

Dorsey played at 315 last year. He was listed at 297.

Why? Its not like they make stories up... They post credible information from credible sources... and the few rumors they aren't sure about that they post they make sure you know that...

Well Ted Washington and Pat Williams are grossly overweight then and they rule or ruled.

Obviously it's different for other schemes.
