Scott Pioli would draft Tyson Jackson all over again
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on April 17, 2011, 1:21 PM EDT


Before Peter King put Tyson Jackson third in his Sports Illustrated Mock Draft two years ago, no one thought Jackson was even a top-15 pick. And wouldn’t you know: Jackson went third to the Chiefs in a stunning choice.

Jackson was supposed to be a safe, if unflashy building block to Kansas City’s 3-4 defense. Perhaps an answer to New England’s Ty Warren. It hasn’t worked out that way so far, but Chiefs G.M. Scott Pioli said he would make the same pick all over again.

“I’d take the same player again,” Pioli said this week via Bob Gretz.com. “Absolutely. Absolutely.”

Hmmm. We suppose Pioli has to say that, but it defies belief. Jackson only started three games last year. The same draft class included defenders like B.J. Raji, Brian Cushing, and Brian Orakpo in the top 15 picks.

We know sack numbers aren’t a big deal for 3-4 defensive ends, but Jackson has one in two seasons. He was arguably the fourth best end on his team last year behind Wallace Gilberry, Glenn Dorsey, and Shaun Smith.

“I know the jury is still out [on Jackson]; we all need to see that,” Pioli said. ”Everyone in our organization is pretty confident still that Tyson is going to be a good player.”

We need to see it soon. Jackson isn’t a Vernon Gholston-type bust, but there’s no spinning the fact a lot more is expected out of a top-3 pick.

ugh...Scott....That entire draft was pathetic outside of Succop. Just admit it. You're lucky you made up for it in 2010.

Well mother**** him all over again then.

Rausch 04-17-2011 01:03 PM

I think he'd be a great 4th round pick...

This has to be a joke. TJax is playing like a 4th rounder, wtf do you mean you would take him 3rd selection all over again?

Jeez he's a ****ing moron. At what point do you say" I was a ****ing moron, I should've taken brian cushing."

With Jackson still on the team, that is the right thing to say.

Doesn't give me a warm and cozy feeling about the upcoming draft!

WTF is Scott gonna say? Dude sucks and was a wasted pick. That'll do wonders for the kids confidence.

Pretty much. We're $60 million into that kid. Let's just write it off and blow him up now. He said what he needs to say to the media. I have no doubt he's kicked himself in the ass over that one a few times. Hell, Todd's probably busted his balls on it by now.

And it also might motivate him to get off his ass and prove something.
