If you like Hali fine.

But this was 10 picks too high to take this dude.

I don't disagree that we could have gotten him several spots lower, but how do you know there just wasn't a trade partner? If not, and the Chiefs wanted Hali, sometimes you take a player a bit earlier than projected.

Fluke, anyone?

If you bothered to do any research, you'd realize he played DT as a junior. And he was very undersized for a DT. He flourished as a DE.

I guess I should've assumed that they'd take a reach.

Was that your thinking?

Hali is a DEnd who can play all three downs. He's a football player who produced on a big stage. I'm ok with the pick. I liked Lawson's upside, but Hali will bring it every week. Adding a guy like him with his attitude can only help IMO.

I agree. Carl Peterson said they were looking at the option and said they even entertained one solid offer but he decided the offer wasn't good enough.

Really, we could have moved down? Who offered us a good deal to move up? Seriously, I'd like to know.

And we didn't.

Hali is a good pick. This is the spot where he was expected to go for most of the draft process. He was productive in college, great motor, plays hard and makes plays. You need guys like that on a defense. Chiefs make a great pick two years in a row now.

wtf are you talking about....

**dirk digler** · 04-29-2006, 02:30 PM

I like the pick:

POSITIVES: Relentless defender coming off a tremendous senior campaign. Displays outstanding first-step quickness, is fast off the edge and displays outstanding pursuing from the backside. Plays with good pad level, quickly alters his angle of attack and is fast in every direction of the field. Shows an array of hand techniques to protect himself or defeat blocks. Naturally strong and splits double-team blocks. Instinctive with a good head for the ball.

NEGATIVES: Needs to improve his body strength as he will be pushed from his angle of attack by large opponents. Occasionally pins his ears back, rushes up the field and over-pursues the action.

ANALYSIS: A natural leader slowly developing a complete game, Hali has the ability to fit several schemes at the next level. Offers possibilities as a pass-rushing end in a conventional defense or could stand up over tackle in a 34.

That's what they said about Larry Johnson.

Yeah, at his size, he'll play first and second down for sure.

teedubya · 04-29-2006, 02:32 PM

He isnt that strong, only 17 reps of the 225lbs.

Yep and LJ's dad coached Tamba so that might have helped them make this decision

They had a great quote from Hali on the NFL Network. Someone had asked him if there was anything he likes more than sacking the QB. He said "sacking him again".
