Like, what should make me like him more than Hall? Foskey? Carter? White?

You could convince me to put him ahead of McDonald (mass) and Adebawore or Ojulari (height).

But take those guys out of it and I've still got nine edge rushers ahead of him.

Anderson, Wilson, Murphy, Smith, VanNess, White, Hall, Foskey and Carter.

Obviously at least 4-5 of those guys are gone by the time we pick, but all 9 of 'em won't be. So who among those should I be putting him ahead of and why? And again, that's just hand-waiving McDonald, Ojulari and Adebawore outright and truthfully, I'm not really willing to do so - I'm just playing devil's advocate right now.

I just can't get there with Felix. I don't see it. And Kiper's "Well I wanted to get him in here somewhere..." doesn't tell me he's done a hell of a lot of analysis in his pick here. "Chiefs need an edge and I wanted to make this edge fit so BAM"

Bend and moves. Hall is as stiff as a board. White isn't much better. Carter needs a year in a weights room. Not saying I'd pick Felix above them all but he has plenty that those guys don't have I think.
