Pioli already knows who he's going to draft.

I understand, but it would have been just as big a reach for the Vikings as well as the Chiefs. It was one of those picks that was made because the guy had a really good week at the Senior Bowl and that's about it. I remember them talking about it - that he "blew it up" at the Senior Bowl.

But the facts remain, he played next to Peppers, who dominated even while facing constant double teams. It was the exact same type of reach that teams did in 2007 after Mario Williams was drafted. Two other NCS defensive line players were subsequently taken in the first round when the 49er's took Manny Lawson and the Bills took John McCargo.

Just because there were two teams stupid enough to burn a top ten pick on Sims doesn't mean it wasn't a reach.
