Dee Ford compared to Von Miller, Derrick Thomas
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap200...derrick-thomas

http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-videos...Shawn-Merriman

General manager John Dorsey recently explained that Dee Ford was selected at No. 23 overall because the Auburn star was the best player left on the Kansas City Chiefs' board and the second-best pass rusher in the draft.

Coach Andy Reid has praised Ford's quickness and athletic ability while rating the outside linebacker's intangibles as "off the charts."

On a more impressive note, Ford's explosive first step has already drawn comparisons to Chiefs Hall of Fame linebacker Derrick Thomas and Broncos All-Pro Von Miller.

"If anybody reminds you of Derrick Thomas, that kid should pretty much remind you of Derrick Thomas with his first step," Pro Bowl linebacker Tamba Hali said last week, per The Huntsville Times. "He gets off the ball so fast it's scary. I just kept rewinding (the video) yesterday just looking at his first step. I don't know if he times it, but his first step is incredible."

New teammate Joe Mays, who played with Miller in Denver, sees similar traits in Ford.

"That guys is explosive. He's quick off the ball," Mays said Tuesday, per the Chiefs' official website. "He kind of reminds me of Von Miller with the way that he gets off the ball and gets around the offensive linemen. He's a freak. He knows how to work angles and uses his hands real well. He can bend and do all types of stuff you don't see in the everyday pass rushers. Definitely 'as-advertised'."

The quotes coming out of Kansas City suggest Ford should have been a top-10 draft pick last month.

As much talent as Ford boasts, it's going to be tough for him to challenge for the Defensive Rookie of the Year award while fighting for snaps behind Hali and Justin Houston.

With Hali carrying a prohibitive $12 million salary cap figure in 2015, though, Ford should be a prime "Making the Leap" candidate at this point next offseason.

believe you're referring to a PFF breakdown of the pass rusher prospect, but can't find the link, do you still have it?

Had a dream last night we traded Hali to Detroit for a 1st and a 3rd. Ford took his spot and had 14 sacks on the way to D rookie of the year.

I woke myself up before we lost in the playoffs.

If Cat and Walker are the real deal then this defense is easily top 10. That was one of the problems with this defense last year. Our DE's couldn't generate pressure once players got hurt.

Moving goal posts there because you got shown the arm length numbers are not as indicative to success as you were proclaiming.

Will Walker play strictly DE? I keep wondering if we won't use Walker a lot. I could see where he could not only spell our starters at DE, if he isn't one, but also Poe on the nose. That would equate to a better rotation keeping our DL fresher.

Chiefs don't play many base fronts. I imagine he will be a huge part of the D line rotation. It's great they have guys to keep people fresh this year and that now includes OLB.
