Yeah, because the Chiefs would have been better off reaching for a CB rather than taking the BPA.

You need more than 3 guys on a DL. Especially a DL that has a NT that plays 2000% of our snaps. He'll get plenty of snaps. According to PFF he took 609 snaps over the guard, 68 snaps as nose tackle and 83 snaps as an edge-rusher. Yup, sounds a lot like DeVito but better suited for NT. Sounds like exactly what Sutton looks for. If they can motivate the kid, this is an excellent pick.
Maybe. I thought he looked more like a 3-4 DE though. [Reply]

My thought exactly. Plus he gives some protection in the future in case things aren't worked out with Poe (though I bet they will be). He seems as sure a bet as anyone else in the second round and he won't need microfracture surgery.
Additional plus: I love his attitude and personality -- seems like the kind of guy who will be eager to learn and willing to lead. [Reply]

The best part of all of this is you're comparing this player to other first round picks. Our guys were gone, we traded back, and got someone who was just mentioned as one of the top DLs talent wise in this draft. But your butthurt because you wanted a position of need vs skill.

Well, my point was that DeVito was a 3-4 DE who played decent # of snaps at the NT. Jones will play DeVito's role but will do much better at NT than DeVito. Which could really help us get Poe off the field every once in a while. [Reply]

Name a CB that could start, was available when we picked, and has more overall talent than Jones. [Reply]
