Say Cody or Williams out of Tenn, I think we all agree we need a NT bad but yes any 330+ NT is going to be a two down guy.

Naturally on 3rd an longs they'll sub in other quicker guys to pass rush.

I mean don't the Pats with Wilfork or the Steelers with Hampton take those guys out on 3rd & passing situations? I'd have to watch more of their games to know for sure but I'm assuming they do.

So whatever NT we draft, if he's a two down guy, I'm fine with that. Just as long as he stuffs the run getting us to those 3rd and longs.

changing subject:

And I'm also a fan of Alexander. I've seen how San Diego runs their offense with big WRs and essentially deep jump balls and I'd like to see some of that in KC.

I don't think they'll be expecting a pass rush from a NT. Occupy 1 or 2 blockers; maybe play a lot of 2 gap.
They need a massive body in the middle that won't be easily pushed off the line by a single OL.

The pass rush will come from blitz schemes / zone blitzes to confuse protections and QBs.
