But he's a short (by todays standard) defensive end that's never really been asked to do anything other than go get the quarterback. I won't go into why he isn't Lamaar because you won't hear it, and you'll probably get pissed about any Tamba Hali comparisons.
My take is that the guy wouldn't be capable of playing anything other than the rush ROLB spot, and doesn't give you anything more than Hali is already providing. Other than Flowers and Charles, Hali had the most successful year of any Chief and you want to replace him with a shorter version of himself that would be a rookie, with a rookie learning curve? *sigh*
You couldn't play Graham on the SAM side as he lacks the hip turn and backpedal and sideline to sideline burst...you might be able to get away with him as a Mike, but I doubt it as he'd be a liability in mid-zone coverage, so all he really could do in a 3-4 is the ROLB spot. And...eh, okay...let's draft him. Because Albert is doing well enough that he needs to stay at LT, but Hali had a craptasitic season so we should burn our first second round pick on a guy like Graham. Because of all positions on the Chiefs, Hali is the one guy that stands out as being a slackadasical pussbag that needs immediate replacement.
Super duper.

and, you obviously don't watch college football. bye.
There is so much ignorance in this post that I after this response I need to move to the next topic and hopefully not have to remind you of how idiotic you are being in this regard later.
To recap..
#1 his name is BRANDON Graham, not Daniel. ( I let this slide a few posts back)
#2 He spent his first year learning from Woodley... in a Lloyd Carr U-M team. And the next year under Carr again... (you REALLY don't watch college football do you?)
#3 What the **** is the Rich Rod "fun bunch" ? are you ****ing high? please elaborate upon this pulled out of your ass posit...
#4 you won't go into why he isn't Woodley because you CAN'T... please try... Woodley says Graham is Woodley, Graham says he is, damn near every scout says he is.. (except a few say he is Dumervil) ... his coaches say he is... but PLEASE explain why YOU know better than someone who has watched EVERY game both players have played(me) and every credible scout I have read.... if you have facts, tape, ANYTHING .. I'd love to hear it.
#5 your analysis of Graham is laughable at best... once again, please tell me which GAMES (not youtube clips) you have watched of him...
Lastly... IF you could pull your head out of your ass for a second and ADMIT that Graham is very likely a Woodley clone... can you HONESTLY say you wouldn't take Woodley(part 2) in a heartbeat with our 2a pick?(and feel you got a steal)
