Granted, the Chiefs had a pretty long list of "needs" this offseason. Jason Babin has looked really good for the Eagles. Wasn't he playing pretty well at the end of last year?
Even before a pass rush, a defense must STOP THE RUN, not give up 80 yarders to LenDale White. The Chiefs urgently need someone TOUGH in the middle of the DL. That dumb team in Foxboro got the one and only one player in the Draft to fit that description... Ron Brace of BC.
While the top of the Draft is well "covered," there were a lot of players in this Draft I really liked as "late/undrafted," and Darryl Harris was at the top of that list. Others:
6th Round
Brice McCain CB Utah (knock on him - no stats - wait, did they even throw at him??)
Myron Pryor DT Kentucky (First Round caliber athlete with injury and 'tude questions)
Stephen Hodge LB TCU (has knee probs right now, kid is a real force when healthy)
Undrafted
Edwin Williams C Maryland (my "best C in Draft" over Mack and the rest, flawless snapping motion, power, anchor, more athletic than given credit for, smart durable high character = PRAY the Skins cut this kid and the Chiefs grab him - a "reverse Lilja")
Reshard Langford S Vanderbilt (ran poorly on Pro Day, really a top player in all aspects)
Woodny Turenne CB Louisville (impressive before broken clavicle, ran sub 4.5 a few months after the injury, great player with ball skills and hips)
Lucas Taylor WR Tennessee (already waived/IR for Denver, was a Second Round grade in 2007 before injuries - real speed and hands)
Jacob Lacey CB Oklahoma State (world class man cover guy, skinny, not yet a good tackler)
