Yeah - still just don't see it.

It's if we want a guy who can go round rather than just directly over an OT. Tested pretty well, has plenty of moves, decent production, great bend. Doesn't have the same versatility as others mentioned.

He's not my favorite of the group, but I do think he's in that tier of edge rusher that should/could be available.

I think if they take him, it's because he's the best of both worlds in terms of meeting the size thresholds, but also having speed and bend.

And that's where I just keep landing with him.

I don't dislike the guy as a prospect - I just can't see a scenario where he's even one of my 3 favorite guys on the board. I should go run a mock where I just screw the Chiefs with every pick I make (within reason) and see if I can get him there.

I mean you can take 10 guys off the board for KC pretty immediately; maybe even 15. And once you get that done, I can probably still make a list of 20 guys I'd rather have. Felix is probably in/around 40th or so on any kind of generic 'big board' I'd make.

I think that's reasonable. I may be a little higher on him, but he's definitely early 2nd more than late 1st in my mind. Not a reach at 31 but not a slam dunk either, imo. In terms of what I'm expecting to be left at DE, I'm guessing he will be in my top 3. I prefer him to guys like Foskey and Hall.

I'd like any of those three guys, and I see them all as basically interchangeable.
