Devito has retired, and he wasn't much of a pass rusher. By plugging Jones into that hole alongside Poe and Howard's ability to play 5-tech, we have 3 players with potential to play NT/DE at any given moment as well as Bailey.
Anyone that believes the front line is what wins the war, should be happy with this pick
Howard is no slouch in getting after the qb either. Bailey either.
I can't really tell at that angle - but looks like he clotheslined LSU RB. I like it. I think that's vs. LSU - my eyes are not as good these days. ha ha [Reply]
This is about Nkemdiche but probably applies to Jones as well and maybe alleviate some concerns about him taking plays off.

“You show me any player in the country, especially D-linemen, that plays every snap full speed, I’ll give you a million dollars,” Buckner said. “It depends on what your eyes see.. . . In the NFL you’re not going to play 90 plays. With our [roster], he’ll play 30 plays. You take that energy and condense it to 30 plays, you tell me who wouldn’t want that type of player?”
They make adjustments just fine in game when everyone is available. They make poor adjustments when players are lost to injury. They just keep employing "the system" rather than changing it up to what the personnel on the field is capable of. [Reply]

I disagree with this. I think Andy is much better at getting the best out of his players vs. Second half adjustments. I always like his scripted starts on Offense vs his adjustments. The buffalo game being an exception. [Reply]
Still worried about CB position, esp if Peters gets hurt. Hope they can make a trade for someone. Not sure what with whom or how, all I know is Chiefs are walking on a thin wire at that position and one play could resulting in a Peters inj could mean epic troubles for that defense.
But I like how Dorsey is getting value picks in a not so high end draft, where there's not much drop off between 2nd and 4th rd picks, and a real drop off after the teens in the 1st rd. Glad Chiefs were able to trade out of the 1st. Not so sure about trading out of the 2nd there were some players there that would've helped this team. [Reply]
