**banyon** · 04-29-2006, 01:32 PM

If you like Hali fine.

But this was 10 picks too high to take this dude.

I can give 110% too, But I would not have been a good pick.

Very good pick he has size, quick step off the line, and non stop motor! He will get it done for the Chiefs no doubt!!!

Yep the Chiefs can't win whomever they choose with some fans.

Honestly, I wasn't hot to trot on any of the players available to us. No matter who we picked at 20, we could've dissected him -- too small, too raw, too injured, wrong position, reach, etc.

I'm OK with Hali.

JohnnyV13 · 04-29-2006, 02:25 PM

Well....

THe upside of this pick is at least he won't be lazy. The dude is going to be motivated

You don't spend a first round pick on a guy who'll only play on third down...

**banyon** · 04-29-2006, 02:26 PM

Tamba Hali.

SR Stats:

11.0 Sacks, 65 Tackles, 17 Tackles for loss

JR Stats:

2.0 sacks, 55 Tackles, 12 tackles for loss.

Fluke, anyone?

I don't like his talent for the pick.......I don't think any of the 5-7 teams behind us would have taken him. Hence reaching when you could move down and still get him.

It sounds like he has some of the qualities of John Browning (110% effort, plays both DT and DE, good attitude) although he's probably quicker and I don't think he's as big and strong as Browning.

HolmeZz · 04-29-2006, 02:26 PM

Hali was the 2nd best DE in this drafted and was thought to go anywhere from 10 to 25 before the combine. He's not a reach. A reach would be what Buffalo did, selecting a fringe first rounder in Donte Whitner with the 8th overall pick.

Who's to say we didn't try to trade down? It takes two teams to tango.

Hali is a DEnd who can play all three downs. He's a football player who produced on a big stage. I'm ok with the pick. I liked Lawson's upside, but Hali will bring it every week. Adding a guy like him with his attitude can only help IMO.

DJ was not labeled that way. People regarded that pick as a "steal" because it was.

tk13 · 04-29-2006, 02:28 PM

It might be a bit of a reach according to the "experts", but I'm fine with it. We have drafted player on top of player with "potential"... we've got "potential" all over the freaking field. Here is a guy who is going to show up, work hard, and get to the QB. Not flashy, but that's what I like about Herm, he drafted a football player over a bunch of measurables. Wait till Krumrie gets ahold of this guy. I like the idea of having him and Allen both being total animals rushing from each end on passing downs.

You don't know that for sure now do you? What makes you think the 49ers wouldn't take him if we picked Lawson?
