I think that's a great question. It's hard to say, really. The knock on him is he runs around blocks and isn't very physical, so that doesn't sound like a Gun type of player. On the other hand, Gun said he wanted to add explosiveness to the D, and DJ does that. I think with our need at OLB, it would take about 5 seconds to run his name to the podium if he's there.

I could see DJ falling to 14, but Carolina papers have already reported that John Fox told DJ that they guarantee they will draft him if he falls to 14. Their current WLB is Mark Fields, who is getting old and had cancer a year or two ago. No way DJ falls to us, and I would rather have Thomas Davis anyways.

You'd rather have a player who will have to move positions as your 1st round "impact player"? [playing devil's advocate]

I want a player who a great playmaker and is known as the best tackler in this draft.....not a guy who moves well but goes for ankle tackles. DJ goes sideline to sideline well, but has horrible tackling technique, not exactly the kind of guy we need.

We'll know for sure after we see what Cleveland, Houston, and Detroit do. If they all pass on him...I'm certain he'll be there. Merriman or Ware looks like a no-brainer to the Cowboys. Cleveland can't pass up Braylon Edwards IMO...and Detroit needs a CB or a OT first....but a Julian Peterson LB clone may be too much for Mariucci to pass up...especially since Mariucci coached Peterson...and wants a similiar player.

Most overrated defensive player that would make a lot of sense for the Chiefs to bungle the pick on:

Marcus Spears...

there it is...the kiss of death...

I truly fear that name being called in the 15 spot tomorrow...Spears isn't horrible, just a solid player that doesn't make big plays...Would be a solid pick for late 2nd, to early 3rd but a terrible pick in the middle of the 1st round IMO....Watched him play several times after hearing people talk him up in the 3 or 4 games I watched he never came close to making anything happen...He didn't get killed or anything but just very average. You don't want to spend a high 1st round pick on a guy that couldn't even dominate college O lineman.

Even if he is available at 15, no guarantee we would take him either.

I obviously am in a great minority here. But I'm not that excited about DJ.
