Kevin Rutland got 4 sacks playing DB - at Mizzou.

He actually was good as a blitzing NCB but it wasn't for KC. Then we signed him as a UDFA, cut him in pre-season and I suspect I thought the signing was interesting as a "what could he do for us..." sort of exercise.

It was the Todd Haley era -- I was clinging to anything I could find at that point. Rutland getting some sacks as a blitzer in college was enough to put him on my radar.

Man - this is just WAY better than that.

Also weird - today is Kevin Rutland's birthday. That just creeps me out a bit.

You thinking of Javier Arenas? He had 3 sacks in 10 and 1 in 11. He was a decent blitzer but ****terrible in coverage.

No, it was definitely Rutland. I was just crossing my wires. I had STs for both Mizzou and KC at the time so I remember him being a damn good blitzer and in my head that year he was a blitz specialist for the tigers was actually for the Chiefs.

And he actually latched on with the Jags after Mizzou (his camp with KC came after his 2 years in Jax) so that makes even more sense because I remembered him going straight from his time as a good DB blitz guy "For the Chiefs" to Jacksonville.

Nope -- went from Mizzou to Jacksonville then never really got run in KC.

Just one of those Barenstein Bears things...

Curious what you see in Ashton Gillotte? I’m not sure what to think about him, he’s not very tall or long, but has 80+ pressures over the last 2 seasons. Is he a situational pass rusher type like FAU?

I miss sometimes but I think it's a good measure to look for. I think he's long enough but we'll see where he measures. I like his versatility to move up and down the line. He has some growing to do, especially in finding more ways to win at the LOS. He's not an elite guy who's going to bend the edge though. I'd be eyeballing him as an Omenihu replacement.

What an idiot

Gillotte to KC seems to me a little like a bunch of guys who have landed with the Steelers. Someone they get in the middle rounds who ends up being a productive player and good starter because he fits the system so perfectly.

I see some Alex Highsmith here (Get off, speed-to-power), so maybe that is making the Steelers comparison come to mind.

Veach made a couple of really good picks with Gillotte and Nohl Williams.

I don't think I would have ever taken Gillotte over Jack Sawyer, but that's probably some homerism bleeding through. I like Gillotte a ton and have throughout the process.

I think I'd be feeling this draft a lot more if not for the Simmons pick. I hope that one works out but man alive, wasn't expecting that.

Benefit of hindsight, I'd have gone Azaraye'h Thomas at 63, Jaylin Noel at 66, and Xavier Watts at 95 and let the massive amount of DL talent fall to me on day 3.
