:facepalm:

Seriously?

He will need to learn some more pass rush moves, but this guy is a pure ROLB that should allow Houston to stay at LOLB.

He should really bolster our pass rush.

Stud

:D lol. DT didn't sound to manly. Neither did LT.

.

@adamteicher: Dorsey: "We clearly thought (Ford) was the second-best pass rusher in this draft.''

Desmond Moses looked awful. Zombo can hold up as a drop/rush guy but doesn't put fear into anyone without houston or hali on the other side. Next up for depth at OLB is two UDFA's from last year are Josh Martin and Ridge Wilson. OLB was a huge need.

I was hoping like hell someone from Carolina all the way to the end of the first would move up and take Dennard, Lee or Benjamin, whoever, to get another pic.

Kony Ealy as has been mentioned would have been another solid pick. He's big enough where he isn't going to stand up and play OLB like Aldan Smith and there's 4-3 teams rumored about talking him adding weight to play DT. Could have spelled as an End in subs, rushed inside in subs in year one and be ready to start at DE in year 2 either at the 5 or 3tech. Wouldn't have been too pissed to see Ward taken here either.

I hope they can pick up a 3 or 4th rder for Flowers as I think it's his last year in KC the way things sound. Detroit would be a player I would think. Gunther lost his DC gig but was kept on as an adviser to the coaching staff and personnel dept if you can believe that lmao. He was here when he was drafted in 08.

Tamba being that big is interesting news. My only concern with him playing that heavy is 2 things. He's busted ass with the MMA workouts with the Gracies the past few offseason so I can't see that he would all of the sudden get lazy and show up out of shape. If it's to play him at End in the base that's really intriguing and I like the idea even though you worry about stopping the run.

Tjack leaving leaves a big hole at LE just with the size factor alone. They really don't have anyone that size except Catapano and he isn't making a big jump to starting. I like the walker signing. 35" arms but I don't think people realize he's really damn short. I see Devito over there and Walker at RE unless they try Hali at LE.

It's possible too they play Hali heavier at OLB and he's just added bulk to play 3tech in subs.

Duno wtf happened there...

I think the AIDS.

this regime loves drafting injury prone players lol

You would think that we have gotten so much AIDS that AIDS would be worried about contracting Chiefsplanet.

That feeling when your team drafts who you wanted... it's amazing.

Knile Davis. Look how that has turned out so far

Dude, you know I love you man but are you drunk or something? He's an inch shorter and 5-7 pounds lighter than Justin Houston. He was NEVER going to play DE. He's a pure 3-4 OLB. They listed him as a DE because Auburn played a base 40 front. He's going to play standing up on the outside, just like Hali and Houston.

I've only posted this like 50 times. Is it just not registering?

Ford isn't going to help Fisher's confidence in practice.


This might backfire.

Guys...Ford will NEVER be a DE except in sub sets...he will replace Hali as the teams ROLB and the fact that Schefter tweeted that Hali is above 280 suggests a position change for the vet.

How?

Fumbling every 23 touches and currently broken.

Per Herbie Teope

Dorsey said Chiefs fielded calls from five to six teams surrounding potential trade partners.

Oh ****.


This might make some people angry.....

Dee Ford tells us he never had contact with the Chiefs throughout draft process. Said he's a big fan on Tamba Hali and Eric Berry.

Hali played DT in subs in college. He's very versatile. I wouldn't at all be surprised to see them move him forward and slide Ford into his spot.

Dorsey said Dee Ford will be a "fine addition to the locker room culture."

is that sarcastic because reports are hes banged up so bad he might not even be ready to start the year lol. Travis Kelce and Sanders Commings were/are also injury prone.

Its not a bad thing, its just guys with good measureables that get hurt and leave you holding your dick with no depth

OLB Dee Ford stresses he played in the SEC, can stop the run. Adds he's adding to "every aspect of my game."

Was he a team captain?

I think a mass PM has to be sent to every member saying that he'll play OLB not DE, cause I don't think people are actually reading the posts.

Too risky to trade back and miss out on Ford, potentially.

/Pioli

Hope he's good

Reid said Chiefs "identified him a while back," adding GM JOHN DORSEY felt strongly about Dee Ford.

He was.

Why? Just because they got offers it doesn't mean they got any GOOD offers. There's no reason to trade down just for the sake of trading down.

Is there any possibility of trading Hali this year?


Maybe we can get rid of the "No Holding Calls Ever" curse by getting rid of him.

Cardinals only got a 3rd to move down 7 spots. I don't think we got any good offers.

@cover32_KC: Dee Ford measurables: 35 1/2" vert, 10'4" broad, 29 reps, 4.54 40. Justin Houston measurables: 36 1/2" vert, 10'5" broad, 30 reps, 4.68 40.

Only?

Thats pretty fair.

This is CP.


If we drafted 6 All-Pro's, people would still melt down.


I like this pick, which is a little scary.

I wouldn't move down more than 3 or so spots for a 3rd round pick.

I'm pretty sure Hali was a full time DT until his senior year at Penn St.

It's a bad pick if they could've gotten him later.

Tamba showed up to workouts weighing 284, which everyone is chirping at him being over weight fatty.

Do the realize he was listed to be playing at 275 last year?

That's because you don't have a clue about draft value.

He's like a faster Houston... I'm loving this guy more and more.

I love this pick if its to replace Hali

I hate this pick if its because they cant afford to extend Justin Houston

that simple

Just for those keeping up....

Vance Walker was one of the best pass rushing DT's last year and will line up in same spot most of the time.
Mike DeVito is working on getting his pass rush technique down and losing weight to gain speed.
Mike Catapano showed nice flashes last year and they think he can be a nice rotational guy.
Dee Ford is a very quick and proven pass rusher.

Our pass rush was good last year until injuries happened. I'm VERY excited about the pass rush this year. This is going to be tremendous for our secondary. Get a DB in round 3 or 4 and this defense looks much improved.

As @AJCFalcons reported, the Falcons were trying to trade back into first round for Dee Ford or Ryan Shazier.

They moved him around a lot. I seem to remember most of his time being spent on the outside but he may have spent the majority of his junior season at DT. That was a long time ago but regardless, we have proof he can do it.

There's still metric shit ass ton of talent on TE board. We gotta get back in the 2nd round. Just don't trade berry

He did. He stood up and rushed from a 2 point too. I just worry about his feet problems he seemed to have when playing heavy.

I worry about size at LE but the one thing that helps so much in the run game is just how damn good Houston is at setting the edge in the run game. I thought maybe when they move on from Hali they would swap Houston over to the rush LB spot but he plays the sam so well I don't think they should and Ford fit's that rush spot very well.

Pioli

Youre forgetting Walker.

I don't really give a damn if he can set the edge or not.

Get to the QB

He's definitely not here to replace Houston, it's Hali who's looking like the casualty atm.

Yeah that's not making me feel any better.

WR class is deep this year

Given the reports about Hali's weight, I think they might be looking to get all 3 of them on the field at the same time.

I'd have gladly taken a 3 to move down to 30 in this draft.


You know what some guys would be bitching about right now if that happened?

"At least they could have taken a pass rusher if they weren't gonna take a QB"

this is what I hope. I just hope they can get a replacement for TJax.

Trade Hali for something, anything. But we'll probably just cut him next year and get nothing.

Hali will hit the road before Houston...

Sorry man. It sucks but I doubt we'll get to pick in round 2 tomorrow unless we do trade Berry.

I think a DB and WR will be the pick with our 3rd and 4th round picks.

I will believe that if and when the Chiefs decide to handle their Alex Smith/Justin Houston extensions

until then im going to assume the worst because its the Chiefs

I think the weight thing is a bit overblown, but it's plausible.

Get all of them on the field at once.

Yeah, no.

Get an extra third, package the two 6th rounders to move up as high as possible, trade a 2015 4th and one of the thirds to get a second.

Profit.





Bitches.

yep

and I think he'll hit the wall about 1/2 through the season. I said it last year and got my shit pushed in (N'TTAWWT)

I'd need a 2nd to move down that far.

I sure as hell hope so. That would sense

ROFL

So clueless.

Unless you are talking about a high first you aren't getting a 2nd.

You must be related to Dorsey and his whole "I'm not trading Albert for a 3rd, but I'll willingly accept a ****ing comp pick" stance.

I can't take him seriously with that voice. I really can't.

Since we run sub sets......maybe they're planning on using a 4 man front of Hali, Walker, Poe and Catapano.....and then having Houston and Ford roam around

I'm trying to find out what you saw that made you think Houston has one of the quickest first steps in football..

That's just.. Too much. And I love Houston.

He thinks he's better than Clowney. I like the confidence.

youre giving Bob Sutton way too much credit

This is what's bothering me right now. This pick would be worth it's weight in gold if we cut ties with Hali and got a pick out of him. But from the looks of it, the Chiefs want him playing on the line his last year...

Yeah, it's not like the Patriots traded the 29th pick for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 7th round picks from the Vikings last year or anything...

Yeah, none of the trades until the Vikes/Hawks trade involved a second rounder.

Maybe he didn't have a ton of shit outside of the starters to work with last year.

Sutton is as overrated as a McRib.

read that again. I added plenty about walker. Take a look at this pic
http://www.kcchiefs.com/media-center...1-409969651fed

Those guys are TC scrubs but listed at 6-5 and 6-3. Walker looks about 5-11. That worries me about him playing LE against RT's. It's why i posted about Devito playing LE and walker at RE.
