The guy at the Senior Bowl wasn't the same guy during his college career, especially this past season where he was wrecking dudes every game.
I loathe the Senior Bowl and what it represents to the casual fan. Nothing gets them more pumped than hearing about defensive linemen kicking the shit out of the offensive line guys in the drills. Happens every single year. (Ryan Sims anyone?)
Richardson gained some weight post season and didn't look good from the Senior Bowl through the Combine. If that means that he drops to the Chiefs in the third, then all the better. But he's not the slack ass you want him to be. This guy kicked just about everybody's ass he went up against for nearly his whole college career. He's not a one year wonder or post-season All Star game hero.
Now, I can understand your concerns about the offensive scheme at Baylor affecting some of this, but Baylor ran a shit ton behind Richardson and he was solid in pass protection as well.
You may not like him in the same way that I don't like David Yankey (not strong at the point of attack and needs to be moving constantly to be truly effective), but you can't say that either would be an outstanding value in the third round.
