Prisco: Re-grading 2007 draft: Three-year look back gives real picture
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/1...verlist_footer
Kansas City Chiefs: Grade: B- They had seven picks and all they have to show for their draft is one starter (receiver Dwayne Bowe) and backup running back Kolby Smith. That's not a good haul. Bowe, the first-round pick, has been a good player. But the Chiefs blew picks on defensive linemen in the second and third rounds; Turk McBride and Tank Tyler are now with other teams. Smith is a solid backup who has started, so he has some value as a fifth-round pick. But that's it. |

Tyson Jackson will NEVER be Oher, Harvin, Maclin, Matthews or Cushing. For THAT alone, he deserves an F- at #3 overall. |

A good football players is a good football player is a good football player. If you're drafting a guy in the Top Five that has no value outside of a particular system, you've drafted the wrong guy. Especially on defense. |

But does that relate to offensive linemen? Or most offensive players? Or players in the secondary? Does that relate to judging character, work ethic, etc...? It was a huge mistake to freeze them out. You don't have to take their word as law, but to ignore them outright? What was the purpose of that? |

But, if the Chiefs switched to a 4-3, Tyson Jackson would make a good run stuffing end. You could put him on the strong side and still have a very good starter. He would make a better 4-3 end than Dorsey makes a 3-4 end. And, Dorsey was taken top five, and we all loved it. It is ridiculous to say that scheme and system don't matter. As I said, some guys can play any system.... but 75% of the league has their success determined by how well the coaches' system utilizes them. |

No he didn't.
He wasn't a shifty runner, wasn't a powerful runner, didn't have good vision and didn't have home-run speed. He's not a great receiver out of the backfield and he's just pretty average as a pass protector. I don't understand why anyone goes to bat for this guy. I've never seen anything to suggest he's more than a 3rd running back...if that.
