You guys are going to love DOD! He is seriously one of the most sure tacklers i can remember, never worried one bit if he was one on one in space against any player WR/TE/RB. Db speed with lb mentality and over all heady player. He became a leader on our vaulted defense, college granted. However, many of his biggest games were against top competition, and made plays on a ton of now NfL guys. Never in trouble or any major injuries during his CU career. Special teams demon earlier at CU. He is as well coached coming out of college as possible under Brent Venables and held many other higher ranked LBs off the field during his last two years. DoD also covered slot recievers during his time here with little issues, hes the new prototype LB NFL teams need in pass happy league.

Dabo is qouted as saying "he is one of the best players to come through our program since he(Dabo) has been here".

Im super excited to watch yall this year with Sammy and DOD!! Hope yall have a great year!

Thank you and certainly stick around, you seem nice. I'm in Atlanta and one of my co-workers played LB for Clemson in 2005-2008ish for about 3 seasons under Bowden.

*****The Dorian O'Daniel Thread*****

I think we will be comparing him against Shaq Griffin for awhile. Should be interesting.

Wanted to re-post this, want to know what other CP'ers think of the comparison:

My guess is that Dorian O'Daniel will have the most significant impact- Chiefs love to be in nickel and dime packages and Dorian's body type and skill set make him a natural fit for the hybrid linebacker position. I've seen a few individuals want to compare Dorian O'Daniel to Kam Chancellor but I haven't seen many comparisons to Deion Jones of the Atlanta Falcons, just take a look at Deion Jones draft video and also combine numbers:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv2H-h52L60

"Hybrid linebacker-safety"
"Undersized Will"
"Sub package dime"
"Special team standout"

Sound familiar?

Now combine/pro-day numbers:

Jones:
6'1 222 LBS
40-yard dash: 4.38 seconds (ran a 4.59 at the combine though)
20-yard short shuttle: 4.26 seconds
3-cone: 7.13 seconds
Vertical: 35 1/2 inches
Bench press: 18 reps of 225 pounds

O'Daniel:
6'1 223 LBS
40-yard dash: 4.61 seconds
20-yard short shuttle: 4.07 seconds
3-cone: 6.64 seconds
Vertical: 32.0 inches
Bench press: 21 reps of 225 pounds

Obviously Deion Jones seems to have an extra gear for the 40 yard dash but all the acceleration metrics O'Daniel had better numbers, very similar size. You watch their tape and I think O'Daniel was definitely used more in coverage (O'Daniel lined up a ton at the slot position) than Jones was but I think the comparison is an interesting one.

Yeah, 4.3 to 4.6 though, I'm guessing the other was quick timed.

O'Daniel is pretty athletic.

This is definitely an undervalued move in the draft by national pundits. In our sub packages, Dirty Dan was arguably the biggest liability on the field. Not only a liability on the field, but a financial liability of $5 million a year. This guy feels a huge need and could recoup $4.5 million of cap savings if we let Dirty Dan go post June 1st. The cap money could than be utilized to pick up additional help along the OL or at CB. This pick allows the team a ton of flexibility IMO.

Listened to Stick to football podcast, the douchebag Mello said he doesn’t fit KCs defense and wasn’t a good pick. JFC just listen to Brett Veach. He explained how he fits. Just a lazy thing to say if you don’t like it

Matt Miller’s brother who does some podcasts with him. Nobody really

We'll see how he progresses in camp, but this guy is my favorite pick so far

His tweener versatility is whats going to get him on the field early and often

There is bad history with that here.

But welcome.

Most people seem to not be very enthused with this draft but i love it. They added talent at a bunch of lacking defensive positions and got a possible starting guard at some point in the 6th round.

Good article on how the Chiefs could use the middle of the field depending on offensive alignment.

Having guys like Hitchens, Berry and DOD to stop the run or play in coverage will help a lot and will disguise the defense while providing more versatility.

Hire Gunther back

Sack the QB
