I am still letting a lot of these sink in… and I will judge the picks more once they actually hit the field.
Keep in mind that Pioli has a pretty good draft history (particularly with defensive linemen in the first round) so don’t be too quick to judge.
The one word I think about when I see this draft is versatility.
What do you think Chiefs fans?

Kansas City Chiefs Select LSU DE Tyson Jackson with the Number 3 Pick

The Chiefs have selected LSU DE Tyson Jackson.
So apparently the rumors were true about the Chiefs being in love with him. I had a feeling the Chiefs would take Tyson Jackson here.
I have to admit that I am slightly surprised with this pick, but as I have said I will trust Pioli until he proves me wrong. Also, this makes the third year in a row the Chiefs took a LSU Tiger with their first overall pick.
Now the question is are the Chiefs done for today or are Pioli and company working on their next move?

Why I Trust Scott Pioli with Chiefs First Round Pick
I know there is a ton of debate with the Chiefs and what they should do with their first round draft pick. Some say the Chiefs should draft a pass rusher, other want to sure of up the offensive line for years to come, and don’t forgot about all of the people who have a man crush on Wake LB Aaron Curry.
I am not here to argue these points with you (not this time) because each opinion has a valid argument and we all the know that there is a reason the Chiefs are drafting at #3 overall, and that is because they have lots of needs. So I am here to say that I trust Scott Pioli.
I know that Scott Pioli is not solely responsible for the first round NFL draft success of the New England Patriots but he has been a big part of that success since the 2000 season. Also, while I don’t know this for a fact, Scott Pioli and Bill Belichick have been reported to agree on something like 95% of the players the Pats signed/drafted.
Here are the Patriots first round draft picks since 2000 (didn’t have a 1st round pick in 2000):
| 2008 - New England Patriots | ||||
| Rd | Sel # | Player | Position | School |
| 1 | 10 | Jerod Mayo | ILB | Tennessee |
| 2007 - New England Patriots | ||||
| Rd | Sel # | Player | Position | School |
| 1 | 24 | Brandon Meriweather | DB | Miami (Fla.) |
| 2006 - New England Patriots | ||||

| 1 | 21 | Laurence Maroney | RB | Minnesota |
| 2005 - New England Patriots | ||||

| 2001 - New England Patriots | ||||

To me the results of Pioli’s first round draft picks speak for themselves. So on draft day, no matter what happens I will trust that Pioli took the right player for team. You should try to do the same.

Sources: Wells, Crabtree, Maclin to Declare
Looks like all three of these players will enter the 2009 NFL Draft. This shouldn’t really come as a surprise.
The National Football Post | Sources: Wells, Crabtree, Maclin to Declare.
Trusted sources close to the National Football Post have just informed me that Texas Tech wide receiver Michael Crabtree, Ohio State running back Beanie Wells and Missouri wide receiver Jeremy Maclin all intend to declare for the 2009 NFL Draft in the very near future.
Personally I would LOVE to see Crabtree in a Chiefs uniform, but it doesn’t really make sense for the Chiefs to draft him at #3, we have greater needs.
So what do you guys think? Any of these players you would like to see in a Chiefs uniform?
