Jesus, in the Senior Bowl video his first step is FAST.

We went from having a shot at Manziel to reaching for a pretty one dimensional speed rusher. That was soul-wrenching. And the whole situation totally epitomizes the Chiefs.

I wonder if they are looking to line up like this on d...

RDE Hali (they tweeted that he weighed in at 280 a week ago)
NT Poe
LDE Walker

LOLB Houston
ILB DJ
ILB ______
ROLB Ford

CB Flowers
CB Smith
SS Berry
FS Abdullah

That's a defense that can be extremely disruptive.

This makes me feel better

You'll see that your comment is not true.

Trade Flowers for a 2nd rounder, take Van Noy or Lee?

he's an explosive mother****er that's for sure. But He did throw up 30 reps. Though he doesn't look that strong on the field.

I blame Pioli and Herm for this. I know this makes no sense, but I really hate those ****ers.

Flashes of Dwight Freeney.

No one is going to trade with the Chiefs. We will not get what we want. Accept the curse. We are a ****ed franchise.

That's his biggest asset really. His snap anticipation is probably tops in college football last year...

yes, pls

That'd be pretty nice.

gains 10-15 lbs and he'll be mean, depending on how they use him. he'll be ****ed at the point of attack on the runnning game.

If Houston and Ford are our OLBs, they might have the quickest first step combination of any pass rushing duo in the NFL.

Both have amazing first steps.

The fact he's injury prone and good but not great and 20 picks too high.

And the hyperbole begins...

Justin Houston isn't even a top 10 pass rusher.

Where were getting the 2nd round pick from?:hmmm:

It's funny how people assume on paper that a draft pick is going to be an all pro. Looking at a rookies name on a roster just screams unproven to me.

I was just about to say..

Houston doesn't really have any exceptional qualities, he's just very good at everything.

Tampa Hali was a "huge reach" too. I remember how much I got the piss beat out of me for defending that pick. :hmmm:

That's a terrorize the quarterback defense if I ever saw one.

I think Hali played around 280 when he was a LDE for us when we ran a 4-3.

I think it'd be Cummings at FS and not Abdullah? I always thought Abdullah was primarily a SS.

It gets better.

"Experts" and novices alike act like a rookie is going to impact the following season.

Dee Ford had one of the best first steps in college football last year. That's not hyperbole.

You are basing your opinion on him after he got hurt.

Go watch some of your gifs against NO when he raped Streif.

Reid specifically said that Abdullah was the current lead man at FS for us, ahead of Commings.

Andy Reid said Abdullah gets first crack at starting free safety.

You mean like all the people crying because we didn't draft the QBotF and future HoFer in Johnny Precious?

Are you ****ing reeruned? The guy was picked #7 overall and was never making it out of the top 10...and everyone has known that for months. We had the #23 pick yet you hoped/thought we might get him....even listing his measurables? :drool:

Hali and Houston need to get this kid to learn some counter moves because his first step can be a detriment to him as an overall defender by offenses running underneath his speed rush.

Wow, he played a great game against FSU.

He contained, didn't bite on the bootlegs, and demanded a bunch of double teams.

That's just dumb.

He was the highest rated OLB in the NFL...even with the injury slowing him down.

You don't know what you're watching.

Whatever.

On top of that he's excellent in coverage...

Terrible pick. Pick so bad I would have rather chosen Michael Sam.

Not can be. It is. Teams ran at him to neutralize him all the time.

This kid is going to be good.

Piss off / Aaron Curry

Dude is a freak athlete.

Is Kendrick Lewis gone? Or do they recognize one game too late that he's terrible?

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-...with-23rd-pick

Chiefs get a C- as usual

I just hope he doesn't join the bulk of last year's draft picks on IR.

So essentially trying to force highpower offenses to have to limit trying to spread you out IF he can become a legit guy offenses have to account for if he's lined up. ...?

I've got nothing against the pick and think he was one of our better choices. It just stinks beyond belief to see the top two QBs available at 22 and we end up with neither of them. But I'm not going to hold that against Ford.

Signed with the Texans I believe...

Ha. NFL network highlights: picks 1,2, 22

I noticed that watching the senior bowl...but admittedly only watched 2 Auburn games.

I'm happy with the pick and he was in my sig list of guys I wanted us to draft.

I still wished we could have moved up and taken Manziel...but pass rushers like him are the second most important part of winning football games.

Watching the FSU tape, wow he looks extremely disciplined. Great contain and doesn't fall for fakes. Great at doing his job.

This guy is 6'-2" 240?

That can't be right can it?

LMAO

I agree.


I had a virgin hard-on for Carr and Manziel, I feel a little let down but not disappointed.

Per Sean Keeler

Dorsey: Dee Ford was the highest-rated player on #Chiefs' draft board. Was on the team's list of preferred four.

Per Reid Ferrin

Dee Ford: "I'm going to be in Kansas City tomorrow and looking forward to meeting everyone. I plan to be in Kansas City forever."

Oh well. Have heard comparisons to Bruce Irvin.

Dee Ford w/ some parting words for the @KCChiefs beat writers: "I want to be in Kansas City forever, don't trade me." #laughsallaround

:facepalm:

I'd love to hear the other three and to know if a QB was on the list.

... but-but the CP brain trust tells me he sucks!

8-8 bitches!
......wait.....7--9.



tailgating mother****ers!!!!!!!
....by the way, parking will now by $30

...At the time of the pick... Not on the top of the entire board.

Manziel and Cooks for sure. Can't think of the 4th one.

That makes a little more sense...

Moe, Curly and Larry:D

He was 3rd on my final 3 list that I posted in the "who do you want" thread.

His first step is something that can't be taught. You either have it or you don't. I just hope he can stay healthy.

I just wanted ward or dennard more then this guy.

Wow.

So a guy who missed most of his college eligibility with knee, back and abdominal problems - who several teams had red flagged as undraftable due to medical concerns - was the best player available on our board?

What's next, a quadriplegic punter in R3?

Goddamn his voice doesn't fit a pass rusher.

Too soon?

:doh!:

Wow. It's not even close.

I will say this: the kid is a playmaker and has proven to be a big factor in games.
I loved his tape and I loved his Senior Bowl performance.

He's got a quick burst off the line like Von Miller which is very good. He doesn't give up and he's instinctive with energy and swagger. He even ran a 4.5 and did 29 on the bench which isn't too bad.

Only 3 problems with him:

1. He can't stop the run for shit, so he's going to have to work on that this year before completely taking over for Tamba next year.
2. He's not strong enough. Fortunately he can be a big time player without that strength this year.
3. He's a ****ing brokedick. He's been injured multiple times and that doesn't even include his back, which some teams apparently so scared of that they took him OFF their board completely.

I think he'll do good things here. I just pray to God he doesn't end up broken.

dafuq do pass rushers sound like?

Everything

I don't doubt the kids' ability. let me be clear (Obama voice)...

but I doubt what he's going to do in our 'current' defense. maybe Sutton has some sort of idea how to flex him etc. he sure as **** isn't a DE in a 3-4. But I like what he brings. let's just hope they use him better than Berrry

Who had him flagged as undraftable ?

Like Andre the Giant.

Dee Ford planks 180 lbs for 45 seconds. And people say he's got a weak back?

Reid says OLB.

There's been several tweets and reports than several teams took him completely off their boards due to medical concerns.
