ESPN.com's Bill Williamson and Scouts Inc.'s Matt Williamson believe the Chiefs have found a "gem" in ILB Jovan Belcher.

Belcher was primarily a special teamer as an undrafted rookie in 2009. He graduated to full-time starter in 2010, racking up 84 tackles. "He's a heavier guy who is a good banger in the 3-4 defense," Matt Williamson said. "He seems like a hard-nosed guy who has made the best of opportunity." Expect Belcher to remain in the same role next season.

I'm one of the few people who isn't pressing to have him replaced in 2011. I'd really like to see what he turns into, and the only way for that to happen is if he's on the field.

Ima join you. I dont think ILB is a priority. Get those boys a NT and then see what they can do.

I'd say he had a pretty solid season

royr17 · 02-10-2011, 05:24 PM

I'll say that I was impressed with him this year

Bold=agree.

He's decent at bringing a load in the middle.

With that said, a good open field tackler he is not.

Paul Soliali sounds pretty good to me right now, can you say the next Dan Saleaumua. Oh we could only hope.

If the Chiefs can find a replacement for Belcher in the draft or free agency, he'll be replaced.

He's not the "Thumper" that Crennel envisions for his defense.

What are you basing this on?

That dumbass facemask penalty at the end of the raiders game still stands out in my memory, that was the turning point of that entire game.

**Rain Man** · 02-10-2011, 05:55 PM

They say he's heavy, but wasn't his listed weight last year 228 pounds? I remember being surprised when someone around here mentioned it, because I assumed he was larger.

He's very light for the "Thumper" role. They really need someone closer to 250 and that role will be easier to fill than finding the next Ngata.

Rasputin · 02-10-2011, 06:24 PM

He should only get better, so I am happy to have him.

He's okay but I hope the Chief's at least find someone to replace Williams and Mays.
